That is to say that during with instrument or page turning and books reciprocation, just for the user provides corresponding acoustic image reciprocation, this reciprocation has strengthened the appeal of books widely on computers the user.Generally speaking, the books system comprises that some detect the mechanism of the action of pages and/or instrument, makes story except text on the page of physics books and image appearance, some incidents or role can also be inserted this story and carry out the acoustic image performance.
Fig. 1 shows the interactive books system 100 that realizes according to one embodiment of the present of invention.This system comprises a physics books unit 103, a computer system 110 and the I/O plate 108 as the interface between physics books unit 103 and the computer system 110.As shown in the figure, physics books unit 103 comprises P.e.c. (PC) plate with an antenna 102 101, physics books and the one or more instrument 106 with a plurality of pages 104.Some instruments 106 may also comprise interactive device 107, such as button.Books unit 103 may also comprise a fixing interactive device 109 (being that this device has fixing installation position), such as switch or button.
Computer system 110 comprises driver 114, application program 112, display 116 and loudspeaker 118 and other parts.The ingredient of some well-known computer systems such as processor and storage unit, does not illustrate or is included in Fig. 1, in order to avoid make the present invention smudgy on the contrary.
Though computer system 110 is shown an independent ingredient that separates with physics books unit 103, computer system 110 can certainly combine with physics books unit 103.In addition, be appreciated that the interface that also can use other types, such as television system or set-top box.And I/O plate 108 may combine with physics books unit 103.
Interactive books system 100 can comprise any suitable mechanism that is used for detecting existence, position and the sign of each instrument (for example, 106) related with books unit 103 and page (for example, 104).For example, how many pages testing agency can detect and translate into the right side of books (for example, page 104a) and have how many pages to translate into the left side of books (for example, page 104b).Testing agency can also identify which instrument has been placed on the page of books unit and instrument is placed on which page or leaf is gone up and this one page which partly on.
For page and the instrument that detects and identify books unit 103, at least some instruments and page will comprise a detectable label.When moving (for example, an instrument being placed on one page perhaps page turning) in these marks are placed on books unit 103 or in books unit 103, the position of these marks can detected mechanism detect.Preferable is that these marks have also identified instrument or page.That is to say that the not isolabeling of different instruments and page can be distinguished by testing agency.
Shown among this embodiment, the books unit comprises an electromagnetic testing system, is used for detecting these instruments of books and page and with detected data input computing machine.Can adopt any suitable electromagnetic testing system.Certainly, also can adopt other detection systems, such as optical sensor or electronic sensor.
Shown in electromagnetic testing system in, books unit 103 comprises a series of resonant circuit (not shown), these resonant circuits can be detected by antenna 102 when having the excitation signal energizes of specific resonant frequency being subjected to one.These resonant circuits can help detecting the instrument of books unit 103 and the suitable mode of page disposes with any.
In one embodiment, each instrument 106 and page 104 comprise a simple harmonic quantity resonant circuit at a specific resonance frequency resonance (for example, a coil and a capacitors in series).Pumping signal with frequency of the one or more resonant circuits of excitation sends on the antenna 102.Resonator induces a resonance signal on antenna 102 when the frequency upper resonance of pumping signal.Generally speaking, the resonator that is energized of the pumping signal on the antenna 102 and the influence of the relevant position of their relative antennas.
In one embodiment, can determine to the change of pumping signal which resonator is in resonance and their relevant position by analyzing.Preferable is that the termination pumping signal makes resonance signal to be analyzed independently.That is to say that when ending the pumping signal of antenna, the resonator of excited target continues to produce " ring " induction of signal to antenna 102, thereby can clearly detect on antenna 102, and the not interference of excited target signal.
The books system can comprise the instrument of any amount and type.Instrument definition is for can be used for and the interactive object of the some parts of books unit 103.Instrument can be represented a vision or hearing transducer.That is to say,, can represent appended drawings picture and/or the sound equipment relevant on a selected location of books unit with the selected location by the acoustic image program along with instrument moves.For example, instrument can be used for amplifying some visuals on the page, is produced the image that has amplified by the acoustic image program.As another example, instrument can represent relevant with the some parts of books unit sound equipment as one.Except instrument, the books system can also comprise that some are defined as the interactive device that has more than the object of a state.For example, interactive device can be rendered as the form of button, switch or knob.
Instrument and interactive device can be books unit 103 internal fixation or movably.An interactive device can be related with certain instrument, also can be a standalone object in books unit 103.Can dispose the resonator of a resonance on a unique frequencies for each instrument, page and interactive device respectively.Certainly, if an interactive device is relevant with an instrument, this a pair ofly can just have a resonator so.
In this embodiment, by having the pumping signal of different frequency, can detect the position of these instruments and/or interactive device respectively by antenna 102 emissions.One has the corresponding instrument of specific incentives signal excitation of selected frequency or the resonator of interactive device, produces the resonance signal of a uniqueness in antenna 102.Therefore, each object can be by its particular resonant frequency sign.
Perhaps, the resonant circuit of these instruments can be on an identical resonant frequency resonance, but resonator is arranged on interior different " z " position of instrument itself.Each instrument is uniquely by the associated z station location marker of resonator.The people's such as Marcos R.Vescovi that propose on September 1st, 1998 U.S. Patent application No.09/144, disclosed this embodiment and some other embodiment that is used for disposing and identifying the resonator with same frequency among 951 " utilizing electromagnetic sensor to detect the state of physical object " (" the Detecting Physical Object States UsingElectroMagnetic Sensors "), this application here is listed as for referencial usely to be quoted comprehensively.
Can adopt any suitable mechanism resonance or detected signal transformation to be become to be fit to the signal of input computer system.As shown in the figure, detected signal sends to application program 112 by I/O plate 108, driver 114.I/O plate 108 is configured to detected signal transformation is become digital signal (for example, binary pulse).112 pairs of detected signals of application software are analyzed, and determine the position and the sign of each object of books unit 103, produce a corresponding acoustic image program.Driver 114 is arranged such that between application software 112 and I/O plate 108 and can communicates.
In general, position data is determined according to detected signal, is used for producing or triggering an acoustic image program by processing.Disclosed some among the people's such as Piernot that propose on February 2nd, 1998 the U.S. Patent application No.09/018.023 " with interactive computer approach of physical system and equipment " (" Computer Method and Apparatus for Interacting with a PhysicalSystem ") and produced examples of the method for acoustic image program according to position data, this application here is listed as for referencial usely to be quoted comprehensively.
Specifically, detected signal comprises the relevant position data of resonant circuit with one or more physical objecies (such as instrument, interactive device and/or page) of books unit 103.That is to say, the position of one or more physical objecies can by analyzing and testing to signal determine.In one embodiment, position data comprises the six-freedom degree of location status: x, y and z position, and rotation angle, pitch angle and crab angle.Disclosed an example of the electromagnetic sensing system of the position data that detects six-freedom degree among the people's such as Dames that announce on May 29th, 1997 the international pct application PCT/GB96/02896, this application here is listed as for referencial usely to be quoted comprehensively.Certainly, position data can comprise any subclass of the location status of this six-freedom degree.
Below with reference to Fig. 2 A to 2F explanation detection some testing agencies with a plurality of physical object location information related.What go out as shown is such, each physical object all is rendered as the form of a page of books, and positional information can comprise that relevant whether this page climbs over, whether this page stirring and/or the information of the exact position of this page (for example, the angle of strip of paper used for sealing) relatively.Certainly, the follower that modification is arranged slightly be can use and testing tool position and/or interactive device position come
Fig. 2 A is the synoptic diagram according to first example of the page testing agency of the employing electromagnetic detection of one embodiment of the present of invention realization.As shown in the figure, a plurality of pages 104 are placed on a top that embeds the antenna 102 of PC plate 101.Certainly, antenna 102 also can be independently, without PC plate 101.
Each page 104 has an implantation resonator 202 with a particular resonant frequency.Each resonator 202 can be arranged on any appropriate location of associated page, makes the page position can accurately be determined (for example, checking which page in the physics books).Shown in this embodiment in, each resonator 202 is positioned at the top (see each resonator axle 204) of antenna 102 different pieces, depends on whether this page or leaf climbs over.
As shown in the figure, when the resonator 202a of page 104a was in above the left part of antenna, page 104a opened, and does not also climb over.On the contrary, when the resonator 202a of page 104a was in the right part of antenna, page 104a just climbed over, and therefore manifested a new page (that is page 104b).In addition, when the resonator 202a of page 104a was between the left and right part of antenna, page 104a just stirred (for example, turn over to the right from the left side of books, perhaps stir on the contrary).
In this embodiment of Fig. 2 A, each resonator 202 is at the characteristic frequency resonance by the pumping signal of antenna 102 emissions.For example, the resonator 202a of page 104a can encourage by launching at a first frequency, and the resonator 202b of page 104b can encourage by launching at a different second frequency.When pumping signal was cancelled, antenna 102 can detect the resonance signal of one of them resonator 202.
When same direction (for example, page 104a, 104b and 104c all translate into the left side of books), the resonator 202 of this page may overlap mutually at more than one page.Yet more resonator overlaps on the phase mutual interference that is bound to together, thereby just may be difficult to the signal from indivedual resonators that analyzing and testing arrives.Therefore, preferably each resonator 202 is fixed on the top of the different piece of antenna 102 respectively.Shown in each axle 204, each resonator 202 is positioned at the top of the different piece of antenna 102 respectively.
Fig. 2 B is the synoptic diagram according to second example of the testing agency of the employing electromagnetic detection of one embodiment of the present of invention realization.As shown in the figure, page 104 is placed on the pedestal 206 of a resonator 210 with an implantation.Resonator 210 and pedestal 206 are arranged on the top of antenna 102.Each page contains the coil 208 (not charged container or resonator) of an association.
Along with page turning, some coils 208 just are placed into and resonator 210 adjacents, make detected signal be subjected to the influence of these adjacent windings 208.That is to say the resonance signal of resonator 210 depends on has how many coils 208 to be placed in the certain distance of resonator 210.Each coil 208 can be in and resonator 210 adjacent (that is, page is translated into the left side of books), is near resonator 210 (that is, just when page turning), perhaps is in the position (that is, page is translated into the right side) away from resonator 210.
As shown in the figure, resonator 210 is arranged in the left half of books.Page 104a to 104c translates into the left side of books, thus coil 208a to 208c to be positioned at resonator 910 adjacent.On the contrary, page 104d to 104f translates into the right side of books, so coil 208d to 208f is away from resonator 210.In this configuration, exist mutual inductance between the coil 104a to 104c of page and resonator 210, this mutual inductance has reduced the amplitude of resonator signal.So can determine on resonator 210, how many coils are arranged, how many pages are just arranged by analyzing the reduction amount.
In another embodiment, these coils can replace with the bar of conductive material.The bus of each page can change detected signal with gageable mode.Therefore, by analyzing and testing to signal just can determine that signal is subjected to the influence of how many buss, thereby determined over what the page or leaf.
Fig. 2 C is the synoptic diagram according to the 3rd example of the testing agency of the employing electromagnetic detection of one embodiment of the present of invention realization.The coil 211 that an association is arranged on every page as shown in the figure.These coils 211 are cascaded, and form a resonator with resonant capacitor 212.Along with climbing over of page, related coil also overturns, and makes coil direction opposite.
According to the direction of coil, each coil reduces the amplitude of resonance signal or increases.For example, along with every page of right side (as shown in the figure, page 104d to 104f) of translating into books, the coil (coil 211d to 211f) of the page or leaf that climbs over all makes the amplitude of detected signal reduce.In this example, each coil (coil 211a to 211c) of association that does not climb over, still remains on the page (page 104a to 104c as shown in the figure) in the left side of books continues that the amplitude of detected signal is had contribution.Therefore, by analyzing and testing to signal just can determine that signal is subjected to the contribution of how many coils, thereby determined over what the page or leaf.
Though just realize the detection of page is described, can certainly suitably detect page with the sensing technology of other types with Electromagnetic Testing Technology.For example, each page can be influential to the capacitance between two points.That is to say, some buss can be set on each page, the feasible capacitance that stirs between two points along with page increases and decreases to some extent.
Fig. 2 D is the synoptic diagram according to first example of the page testing agency of the employing capacitance detection of one embodiment of the present of invention realization.As shown in the figure, first 214a and second 214b are positioned on the pedestal 206.Receive how many influence of page or leaf above being placed between these two points 214 at the capacitance between these two points 214.As shown in the figure, each page 104 has the bus 216 of an association, can be placed on the top of two points 214.
Shown among this embodiment, point 214 is positioned at the right part of books.Therefore, along with the right side that one page is translated into books, the bus 216 of this page association has just increased the capacitance of measuring between these two points 214.As shown in the figure, page 104d, 104e and 104f bus 216d, 216e and 216f have increased capacitance owing to being placed on two points 214.
Bus 216 can be arranged on any suitable position that can influence capacitance between two points 214.In this embodiment of Fig. 2 D, bar 216 extends between these two points 214 on corresponding page is placed on two points 214 time.Bar 216 also can overlap with these two points 214, perhaps covers one than the also big zone, zone between these two points 214.Perhaps, bar 216 covers one than the regional little zone between these two points 214.
Fig. 2 E is the synoptic diagram according to second example of the page testing agency of the employing capacitance detection of one embodiment of the present of invention realization.As shown in the figure, each page 104 has the bus 218 of an association, and these can intermesh.That is to say that these 218 can be placed on the zones of different of a 220a and 220b top between them.As previous example, the capacitance that each bar 218 influence is measured between a 220a and 220b.There are how many pages or leaves to be placed on a little on 220 because this capacitance depends on, therefore can define the side (that side that promptly contains these two measurement points 220) what pages are translated into books.
Many detection techniques can be used for realizing the detection of page position.Fig. 2 F is the synoptic diagram according to the page testing agency of the employing resistance value detection of one embodiment of the present of invention realization.In general, each page has the bus or the lead 224 of an association, can make a plurality of contacts to one of (for example, 222c) short circuit.
As shown in the figure, these contacts are to 222 right hand edges that are arranged on books.Along with every page of right side of translating into books, the bus related with the page or leaf that is turned over just makes wherein pair of contact 222 short circuits.For example, when page 104f translated into the right side of books, the bus 224f of page 104f just made the contact to the 222f short circuit.Equally, bus 224c makes the contact to the 222c short circuit when page 104c translates into the right side.
Can determine page turning by the resistance value of measuring between each contact is to 222.If resistance value is bigger, corresponding page does not just climb over.If resistance value is zero, corresponding page just climbs over.
These buss 224 can be fit to make the mode of two contact point 222 short circuits to be configured on every page with any.Shown in Fig. 2 F, these buss 224 are arranged in corresponding page and directly are in the contact and to time on 222 they are in accordingly wherein between the pair of contact 222 respectively.Perhaps, bus or lead can be included in when page climbs over and can insert the plug in pair of conductive hole.This embodiment provides a kind of mechanism that can guarantee to form a conductive path between two points.Without plug, bus may not correctly be aimed at two contacts, if for example page is tortuous.
In another embodiment, the books system can comprise a magnetic sensing device, and every page of magnetic sheet that can have a page can detect at certain position magnetic sensing device.For example, every page can have a magnetic sheet that is arranged on diverse location.The magnetic sensing device produces a signal that is near the influence of magnetic sheet.Therefore, by the signal of analysis of magnetic sensing device, just can determine one page whether be in the magnetic sensing device near.
As another example, in the pedestal of books, some photoelectric detectors can be set.For example, photoelectric detector can be arranged under the outer rim of pedestal one side.Make for every page and be fit to whether climb over the shape that hides or do not hide a corresponding light photodetector according to page or leaf.Similar with the embodiment of Fig. 2 F, page can respectively have a fin (corresponding to a bus 224 among Fig. 2 F) that hides or do not hide a corresponding light photodetector (corresponding to a contact among Fig. 2 F to 222).
In books of the present invention system, can adopt any more than the page testing agency of explanation.In addition, can realize other movably detections of physical object with some other testing agency.For example, the books system can comprise the physical object that moves on any amount of page that can be placed on the books system.
Fig. 3 is the digital photo according to the books system 103 with a plurality of physical objecies of one embodiment of the present of invention realization.As shown in the figure, books 104 are placed on the pedestal 101.Books system 103 also comprises several movably physical object or instruments (for example, 106a to 106e), and a fixing physical object 106f.These instruments can be placed in the specific region of some page of physics books.
These instruments for example can be used for realizing adding the task of plot.In one embodiment, these instruments are used for obtaining the clue of relevant spy's identity.Therefore, help the user to determine some instruments of spy's identity below with reference to Fig. 4 A to 8B explanation.Yet, can use different instruments for books with different story contents.For example, can provide one group of translation tool for the textbook of Spain's language.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 A, the user can move to code translator 106b some specific body part 702a of specific page 104b.Shown in Fig. 4 B, in sound-, demonstrate a message 706 through decoding as display window 704.In this example, given the user some next to do and so on instruction.Specifically, the order user proceeds to down one page, obtains the sound equipment prompting with an audio tape reading tool.Shown in Fig. 4 C, a sound equipment decoding instrument 106a is moved to a plurality of tape strips represent on one of (for example, 708a to 708j).
In one embodiment,, just play a sound equipment sample, indicate the clue of relevant spy's identity to the user along with user mobile sound equipment decoding instrument 106a on a selected tape.Can the user along a tape strip 708 from left to right, from right to left or any array mode play sound equipment when moving.In this embodiment, along with instrument 106a from left to right forward move, play one section sound equipment, and, play same section sound equipment along with instrument 106a is oppositely moved from right to left.
In a word, this acoustic image program can comprise that identification such as sound equipment decoding instrument 106a reads the technology of the posture the posture of tape.Can realize discerning this posture and other postures with any suitable technology.For example, sound equipment is being decoded instrument 106a in a tape strip 708 when mobile, according to instrument 106a index that points to a sound file (for example, wave file) of position calculation along tape strip 708.That is to say that if the left side that instrument 106a is placed on bar 708 at a distance, this index just draws the beginning of showing sound file.Along with instrument 106a moves on to the centre of bar 708, the index also terminal from the centre of sound file to sound file moves (with playing sound equipment).
Can provide some other instrument to make the user can search for hiding clue, trigger the clue that these are hidden on some specific parts of a specific page by a particular tool is moved.Shown in Fig. 5 A, a multiplying arrangement 106c can be placed on the specific part of the image 710a of page 104e.Shown in Fig. 5 B, this magnifier 106c is placed on a pyramid diagram as 710a on the time, on acoustic image display screen 704, just demonstrate an image that has amplified.
Acoustic image show 704 not only comprise the actual image that on the physics books, illustrates (that is, and 710a), also show an additional amplification image 710b.Therefore, except text and the image that provides in the physics books, by the instrument that is provided is provided, the user can also touch a large amount of audio-visual datas.
Similar, a morphological transformation instrument (not shown) can be provided.In the time of on a specific image that this morphological transformation instrument is placed in the actual page, the acoustic image program just shows this specific image, and becomes another image at the form up conversion.For example, the morphological transformation instrument being placed on an age the user is on 12 years old people's the photo time, can show this youthful image, and this image aspects is transformed into an image such as the old man of same individual when the age is 50 years old.
Except showing additional visual image,, can also play the sound equipment loudspeaker of a computing machine (for example, by) along with the user moves a particular tool on a specific part of page.As shown in Figure 6A, there is a listener 106d to be placed on the certain window of a buildings among the page 104f.So, in the acoustic image program, play out the corresponding sound that can hear by the window of this buildings.Shown in Fig. 6 B, performance and shown a voice signal 712 in acoustic image program 704.In addition, the voice of the people of loudspeaker plays by for example computing machine.Shown among this embodiment, these voice can disclose some important clues or indication and where search and will help the user to determine other clues of spy's identity.
Shown among this embodiment, an image object that instrument makes the user can select some to illustrate on a specific page also is provided.Shown in Fig. 7 A, a selection tool 106c can be used for as selecting a specific people the shown group in the photo on page 104g and 104h.Can produce corresponding acoustic image according to selected people shows.In the background environment of a mystery, whether be exactly the spy so this acoustic image program can be represented selected this people.Shown in Fig. 7 B, acoustic image shows that 704 selected these people 714 of expression are not the spies.
These instruments also can be rendered as some forms of separating the visual image that provides with page.These images that separate can be positioned on some page of books.Shown in Fig. 8 A, a plurality of cards (for example, 106e and 106g) that provide with different faces.In this embodiment, the user selects a specific card or people 106g to be placed on the center of page 104i.
Put it briefly, this featured function can be added some visual images in the plot to the user and is gone.In this object lesson, the user select one have one they be defined as spy's people's card.So produce an acoustic image program, whether the indication user has correctly discerned this spy.Shown in Fig. 8 B, acoustic image shows that 704 point out that the user has correctly discerned this spy 716.
As mentioned above, when moving an instrument on the page of a user at books, just changed the state of an interactive device or turned over one page, so produce a corresponding acoustic image program.Any suitable mechanism can be used for producing with the books system in the corresponding acoustic image program in position of each physical object.That is to say that the interface software of physics books can comprise that the corresponding suitably acoustic image of any realization generation and user and the effect of a physics books system interaction shows and/or the proper handling of the target of sound equipment.
To be illustration that realize according to one embodiment of the present of invention and the process flow diagram of the process 300 of books system interface all books system as shown in Figure 1 and so on for Fig. 9.At first, in operation 302, provide a books system.In operation 304, scan the some parts of this books system, extract data.The data of being extracted comprise these physical objecies () information for example: instrument, page and interactive device of relevant books system.For example, the data of being extracted comprise every physical object the position and towards.In addition, the data of being extracted can also comprise related with each physical object respectively respective identifier.
In a books system that comprises electromagnetic sensing technology, data are extracted by at first produce the pumping signal with a preset frequency on an antenna.Stop this pumping signal then, determine the detected signal that on antenna, whether exists to come the intrasystem one or more resonators of comfortable books.Detected signal can comprise the resonator location information related that responds with the books system.This preset frequency can be corresponding with the sign of a resonator that responds.Can on antenna, produce a succession of pumping signal and detect a plurality of existence, position and signs that respectively have the physical object of different resonance frequencies with different preset frequencies.
After the some parts from books extracts data, in operation 306, the data of being extracted are made an explanation.For example, can analyze, determine the relative position and the sign of each physical object in the books unit the data of being extracted.Also can determine each zone of relative position and the sign and the books unit of detected physical object by analyzing the data of being extracted.The situation of operation 306 will describe in detail with reference to Figure 10.
After having understood data, in operation 308 according to acoustic image program of data run of the data of being extracted and any previous extraction and record.For example, may before write down the position of some the regional relative positions and the more previous physical objecies of certain page, thereby can produce a new acoustic image program in conjunction with these situations.The situation of operation 308 will describe in detail in conjunction with Figure 11 below.
The acoustic image program can include only a picture frame, also can comprise a frame in the frame sequence of a video recording.For example, the operation of an acoustic image program of operation can begin to play a continuous acoustic image sequence (for example, Quicktime film) or just certain point in this film continue to play.As another example, the acoustic image program can have only a frame.As another example, the acoustic image program can comprise an interactive recreation, and player cooperates books and physical object to carry out certain task.
After the acoustic image program begins or continues, in operation 310, the data message that record is extracted.After having write down the data of being extracted, in operation 312, determine whether books stop.This can realize with any suitable mode.For example, when books are closed, just can detect this situation, it is interpreted as books stop.If books do not stop, process just turns back to operation 304, scans the some parts of books system once more, extracts data.Behind the each several part that scans the books system once more, repetitive operation 304 to 312 wherein can utilize the data of precedence record.When books stopped, process 300 just stopped, up to starting (for example, when opening books) once more.
Figure 10 is for explaining the process flow diagram of the operation 306 of the data of being extracted among illustration Fig. 9 according to one embodiment of the present of invention realization.At first, in operation 402, the position of definite any physical object that is occurred.The books system can be designed so that some physical objecies can be placed on the page of books one at a time, and perhaps two or more physical objecies can be placed on the page simultaneously.In operation 404, determine the identifier of any physical object.For example, can determine that a physical object is a multiplying arrangement.
