Embodiment
The present invention is a kind of device and method that produces dummy keyboard/display.
Please consult Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 simultaneously, the present invention is a kind of scanning sensing apparatus 101, double simultaneously all scanning, sensing function, but be positioned on the physical plane of display color, produce keyboard 301/ display, 102 patterns and can utilize this keyboard 301 to reach the action of input on the physical plane, its scanning sensing apparatus 101 comprises:
(1) first generating laser 201, the bright dark effect of light source switch switching generation in scan period by this first generating laser 201, and its scan mode is that laser beam is finished line sweep by the initial scanning position 202 of scanning sensing apparatus 101 belows, first laser by laser scanning starting point 103 to laser scanning terminating point 104, be back to left end starting point 103 distance of (to leave operator's direction) luminous point of displacement forward again, then carry out identical line sweep program, continue near the scanning sensing apparatus 101, on the physical plane, produce the pattern of this keyboard 301/ display 102 with the above speed of 30 pictures of per second (containing display 102 and keyboard 301), and when the user uses keyboard 301 to import, produce first folded light beam 403,404;
(2) second generating lasers 205, be parallel to the invisible laser beam 206 that scans and produce in the physical plane and the physical plane a bit of distance (between 0.3 centimetre to 0.8 centimetre) of being separated by in the mode of line sweep, sweep limit is between invisible laser scanning starting point 207 and 208 of invisible laser scanning terminating points (with reference to figure 4), the angular velocity of its line sweep is same as the line sweep angular velocity of first generating laser, when the user utilizes keyboard 301 to import, produce second folded light beam 402 by the reflection of its finger; And
(3) laser pickoff 501, when the user utilizes keyboard 301 to import, receive this first folded light beam 403,404 and second folded light beam 402, thereby obtain the signal of user's input.
Next please refer to Fig. 4, this figure has illustrated a kind of method that produces dummy keyboard/display, at first carry out face scanning by first generating laser, in scan period the light source switch by first generating laser switch and cause bright dark effect, thereby produce the pattern of keypad/display, and when the user uses keyboard to import, produce one first folded light beam 403,404 (steps 100), carry out line sweep by second generating laser then, the mode of its scanning be parallel to the physical plane and with the physical plane a bit of distance of being separated by, the angular velocity of its line sweep is same as the line sweep angular velocity of first generating laser, thereby when the user utilizes keyboard to import, that is the finger or other in order to the input material on sense position 302, can produce second folded light beam 402 (step 200), at last by laser pickoff 501, when the user utilizes keyboard to import, receive this first folded light beam 403,404 and this second folded light beam 402, thus obtain importing corresponding signal (step 300) and input computing machine by routine analyzer with the user.
Please refer to Fig. 5 at last, it has illustrated the thin portion flow process of routine analyzer: when the finger or other user with the input medium (as the finger, pen) is displaced downwardly to sense position shown in Figure 3 302, can produce first folded light beam 403,404 and second folded light beam 402, after receiving, laser pickoff 501 promptly separates first folded light beam 403,404 and second folded light beam 402 (step 310), it passes through circuit design, according to first folded light beam 403, the coordinate (step 320) of 404 and second folded light beam, 402 decision user inputs, calculate the mistiming of invisible laser level scan start point position 207 and terminating point position 208, again with Fig. 1 in first folded light beam 403, the mistiming of the initial analyzing spot of 404 distances 103 positions, front and back treated device of two mistimings and predefined data are relatively, can determine the button coordinate imported why, determine the signal (step 330) of user's input again according to coordinate, thereby reach the result of signal analysis, input signal is finished the action of input to computing machine again; And visible folded light beam 404. is not assert this input inefficacy because of detecting 206 reflected signal (second folded light beam 402) among Fig. 3.
The present invention produces dummy keyboard/display equipment and method is noiselessness of generation, does not take up space and portable virtual input device and display, the use habit of fully catering to the keyboard user, and needn't worry that the dirt sand drift on the keyboard is long-pending.
Though the present invention discloses as above with aforesaid preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; former any this operator that is familiar with; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can doing a little change and retouching, thus protection scope of the present invention when with the scope of claims the person of being defined be as the criterion.
