Description

A kind of touch input device and method exempted from
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of touch input device and method exempted from.
Background technology
As easy-to-use input media, button, keyboard and touch-screen have obtained using widely in many occasions.Concerning some equipment that is installed in the public place, use the operator numerous, flow of personnel is big, as easy as rolling off a log cross-infection and the propagation that causes some disease of button, keyboard and touch-screen.In use, button, keyboard and touch-screen are touched or are pushed damage easily.Simultaneously, touch-screen also has another shortcoming, and the image that the touch point is located on the display face is operated body and blocks, and can't see clearly.
Therefore, can realize the input function of button, keyboard or touch-screen, and the input media that need not to touch (promptly exempting to touch) operation is current required.
Existing practicality exempt to touch in the input technology, the reflective infrared acquisition switchgear of similar automatically-controlled door and automatic faucet is arranged, use but only be suitable for single inductive switch.External certain company of latest report develops a kind of contactless guidance panel, and this device utilizes infrared reflection optical profile type switch to finish original input operation of leaning on button and switch to carry out.
Reflective infrared switch device is difficult to realize the accurate detection and location to the operating body coordinate when screen or keyboard area are big, be not suitable for the touch input operation of exempting from of many key boards or general computer display.
In many input technologies, also have other on principle, needn't touch any material object and just can carry out input operation.With the infrared touch panel is example, operating body (as an operator's finger or a pencil etc.) only need be deep into and block Infrared in the framework and just can carry out input operation, detect on the principle and do not require operating body and any panel, for example the panel of graphoscope contacts.Why being called touch-screen, is because the degree of depth that probes into of utilizing the panel of graphoscope to come the positioning action body in the design of prior art.When operating body stretches into from outside to inside, when its end touched the panel of display, the operator just knew that operating body has stretched into and puts in place, can carry out input operation.It is inevitable and necessary that such design concept and design idea become touch, therefore formed the technology prejudice of necessary touch operation.
In addition, in order to reduce the collimation error, make echelette as far as possible near display face, the framework of the infrared touch panel of prior art structurally all is designed to thin as far as possible, be close to the panel of display and install, though the operator do not think, also can touch display screen unavoidably.
Although there is above-mentioned shortcoming, infrared touch panel adopts the correlation detection technique, compare with the guidance panel of the reflective infrared detection technology of aforementioned employing, detection and location to the operating body coordinate are comparatively accurate, therefore more are hopeful to be modified into the touch-free input device that is applicable to many key boards or general computer display.
Infrared touch panel generally comprises the framework of the rectangle that has four limits, be arranged on fired infra-red component and infrared receiver component on the framework, the testing circuit that is connected with infrared, receiving element, judge according to the detection signal of testing circuit output and to calculate the touch point coordinate position obtaining the calculation element of testing result, at testing circuit, calculation element and utilize the telecommunication circuit that transmits information such as detection signal and testing result between the master control set of this testing result.
The detection signal of testing circuit output has been represented the power of the light signal that receiving element experiences, and detection signal has generally converted digital quantity to from analog quantity in the prior art.The function of calculation element often is to be finished by the processor of single chip computer of touch-screen.Here said master control set, its function generally are to be finished by the computing machine of using this infrared touch panel, and this computing machine also can be finished the function of calculation element and master control set simultaneously.Telecommunication circuit can be simple line, the data call relation between distinct program module or the storer, the perhaps serial between computing machine and external unit, parallel communications device etc.
Prior art products generally is that testing circuit and calculation element all are arranged in the framework, and the computing machine of using this touch-screen is born the role of master control set simultaneously.From the framework to the main frame, promptly between calculation element and the master control set, transmit testing result information by RS-232 or usb communication circuit.
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, the 108th, framework, the 109th, graphoscope, the 101st, the front surface of framework, the 103rd, the peripheral edge portion of framework is in order to be installed together designed with graphoscope, if installation method does not need to use peripheral edge portion, this peripheral edge portion 103 can not have yet.The 104th, the inner side edge of framework, general the same with the indicator screen window big or more roomy around it around formed window, to guarantee the complete of the screen visual field.The mounting means upper frame should be arranged on the front of indicator screen, and the window of its window and indicator screen aligns mutually.Infrared emission is relative respectively with receiving element to be installed in the framework, and the Infrared that infrared emission component sends is propagated in the frame window plane and arrived infrared receiver component.Because framework all does very thinly, fired infra-red component and infrared receiver component are actually and nestle up that framework front surface 101 is provided with.The 102nd, the rear surface of framework, when touch-screen is installed on the display and the front surface 105 of display casing be close together.The 106th, the panel of display.Window portion in the middle of the framework is complete empty, has only Infrared to pass through, and does not have any entity component.
The infrared touch panel technology is of long duration, the United States Patent (USP) " Infraredlight beam X-Y position encoder for display devices " (US 3775560) and " Coordinate detection system " (US 3764813) of authorizing in 1973 has disclosed most of prior art, follow-up patent has proposed some improvement projects in succession, and its principle of work can be referring to the United States Patent (USP) " Apparatus and method to improve resolution ofinfrared touch systems " (US 6429857) of mandate in 2002.
As shown in Figure 3, for principle of work is described, the space of the infrared emission of having drawn and receiving element is provided with relation.Here being that initial point O has set up rectangular coordinate system with the touch-screen lower left corner, is the Y-axis positive dirction from the O point straight up, is to the right the X-axis positive dirction from O point level, and Z axle ecto-entad vertically passes O point (with the direction of leaving the operator for just).Arranging fired infra-red component in framework one side along a coordinate axis, these radiated elements form the radiated element array, Dui Ying infrared receiver component is lined up the receiving element array with it, be arranged on relative framework opposite side, radiated element array and receiving element array can be collectively referred to as the detecting element array.The detecting element array of arranging along X-direction is the X detecting element array of detecting operation body X coordinate, and infrared light beam arrives receiving element along the arrow line parallel with Y-axis from radiated element, forms an X-ray grid plane in XOY plane.
In view of this same plane relation of detecting element array and its grating that forms, say that certain grating (grating planar) also just means the detecting element array of mentioning this grating of formation simultaneously.Can in XOY plane, form a Y grating planar according to as a same reason Y detecting element array being set.
The luminophor of fired infra-red component and the photosensitive body of receiving element all have certain area, and be again owing to reasons such as scatterings, so formed grating will inevitably have certain thickness in Z-direction, general in 2~10 millimeters scope.In the prior art, ignoring its thickness, is a plane with its equivalence.
Operating body can probe into from outside to inside in X, the Y grating planar along Z axle positive dirction and carry out input operation, and it is luminous that testing circuit order drives each radiated element one by one, and the output signal of the detection receiving element relative with light-emitting component.The testing circuit of detecting element correspondence produces the relevant detection signal according to the situation that Infrared is blocked, this detection signal sends calculation element to through telecommunication circuit, calculation element has judged whether that according to the variation of detection signal operating body enters in the grating planar, promptly whether there is touch event to take place, the X coordinate and the Y coordinate that then calculate operating body are arranged.Testing result information such as above-mentioned touch event and operating body coordinate are transmitted to master control set output by telecommunication circuit again.
By its principle of work as can be known, the infrared touch panel of prior art only in one plane is provided with the detecting element array, form a grating planar, therefore can only whether enter in this grating planar and X, the Y planimetric coordinates position of definite this operating body by the detecting operation body, and can't pass the distance (probeing into the degree of depth) that continues to probe into behind this grating planar by detecting operation body leading section, promptly can't detect this moment operating body along the position of Z-direction.
To a touch-free input device, should make operating body when input operation, be easy to avoid touching for example panel of display device in the design.Should have simultaneously in time provides the function of operating body along Z-direction position information, because this positional information is the foundation that can not touch in order to judgement.
Input media is generally isolated to be used, and install such as cooperations such as display device with other, could realize complete technique effect.As an equipment of using above-mentioned touch-free input device, should be able to make full use of operating body that this input media transmits positional information along Z-direction, in time provide the various promptings that help to exempt to touch input to the operator.And above-mentioned feature and function exactly prior art infrared touch panel and to use the equipment of this screen not available.

Embodiment
Touch-free input device is an important component part of exempting from touch input device, at first narrates the specific embodiments of input media part in following embodiment 1,2,3,4 respectively.
Embodiment 1
Present embodiment is the best way that realizes touch-free input device technical scheme of the present invention.
The described touch-free input device of present embodiment comprises framework, telecommunication circuit, the X of correlation, Y detecting element array and corresponding with it testing circuit and calculation element.As shown in Figure 4, the lower left corner solid-line rectangle representative that is positioned at initial point O has former X, the Y grating planar of X detecting element array and Y detecting element array simultaneously.Here set up correlation detecting element array again, the formed new grating planar of this array is that the lower left corner is positioned at the dashed rectangle that Z1 is ordered on the Z axle among Fig. 4, i.e. the Z1 grating planar.The emission, the receiving element that increase array newly are separately positioned on the upper and lower both sides of dashed rectangle, the upper and lower both sides of associated frame members.The Z1 grating planar is arranged at after former X, the Y grating planar, and is parallel relative with former X, Y grating planar, and separates certain for Z1.Between two grating planars is the scope of activities of reserving for operating body in Z-direction apart from Z1, generally can be more than 10 millimeters, and the operation end of body moves in this scope under the normal operation, can reliably finish operations.The Z1 grating planar rear surface (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 102) that yes is arranged in framework before.The design of frame aspect when it is installed on the display of computing machine, should make Z1 grating planar and display face leave sufficient distance, generally more than 10 millimeters, makes that operating body is easy to avoid touch with this panel.
Have the respective detection circuit that increases newly to be attached thereto to the detecting element array that increases newly, the detecting element array on former, new two grating planars can be independent together with its each self-detection circuit, also can cooperatively interact and detect.The detection signal of above-mentioned testing circuit output is delivered to a calculation element that increases newly through telecommunication circuit, in order to the positional information of calculating operation body along Z-direction.Adopt following detection, the evaluation work mode of present embodiment, at first will utilize detecting element, testing circuit and the calculation element detection computations of former X, Y grating planar to go out the current X of operating body, Y coordinate, this belongs to prior art.
The working method of the detection of present embodiment, calculating Z shaft position information has multiple, such as:
Mode 1, operating body place Z coordinates regional detect.Detecting element array on former, new two grating planars carries out testing separately together with its each self-detection circuit, according to its detection signal of exporting separately, the calculation element that increases newly is judged that each grating light has or not and is blocked (according to the size of detection signal, determine 0,1 state), determine which in three Z coordinates regionals being divided the operation embodiment be in:
Zone A: former, new two grating planars all are not blocked, and the description operation body also is in former X, the Y grating planar does not enter outward, and this zone comprises the Z coordinate figure that all are negative.
Area B: former, new two grating planars are respectively to be blocked and not to be blocked, and the description operation body has entered former X, Y grating planar, also do not enter newly-installed Z1 grating planar, and this zone Z coordinate figure scope is 0≤Z<Z1.
Zone C: former, new two grating planars all are blocked, and the description operation body has entered newly-installed Z1 grating planar, this zone Z coordinate comprise all 〉=possible values of Z1.
Mode 2, operating body Z coordinate values detect.Detecting element array on former, new two grating planars carries out testing separately together with its each self-detection circuit, and according to its detection signal of exporting separately, the calculation element that increases newly calculates the operating body Z coordinate values in the measurable process.
Because the infrared ray grating has thickness, the detection signal of testing circuit changes continuously with the degree of depth that probes into of operating body within the specific limits, can be according to the Z coordinate of this change calculations operating body.
Figure 5 shows that a radiated element in the former X-ray grid is luminous, when operating body was arranged near the light of the receiving element relative with blocking its directive, the detection signal Uxd that the corresponding testing circuit of this receiving element is exported was with the Changing Pattern synoptic diagram of operating body Z coordinate.Figure 6 shows that a radiated element in the newly-installed Z1 grating is luminous, when operating body was arranged near the light of the receiving element relative with blocking its directive, the detection signal Und that the corresponding testing circuit of this receiving element is exported was with the Changing Pattern synoptic diagram of operating body Z coordinate.In the above-mentioned newly-installed Z1 grating in luminous radiated element and the former X-ray grid luminous radiated element be in identical X coordinate, so the Changing Pattern of Und is similar with Uxd, but on Z-direction translation Z1, i.e. Znm-Zxm=ZnM-ZxM=Z1.
As can be seen from Fig. 5, along with the approaching of operating body also goed deep into gradually, its Z coordinate figure increases gradually, the light that blocks is more and more, and detection signal Uxd descends gradually from the maximal value of original Zxm, reaches the minimum value at ZxM place at last, the sensitizing range that an approximately linear is arranged in the middle of Zxm~ZxM, can be in this sensitizing range with the variation relation of the relative Z coordinate of Uxd with the straight line match, i.e. linearization utilizes Uxd to come the Z coordinate of calculating operation body.Each data point among Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 can record according to experiment, except carrying out linear fit, also can be in this sensitizing range with the variation relation of the relative Z coordinate of Uxd with secondary or cubic curve match.
In like manner, can utilize Und to come the Z coordinate of calculating operation body in Znm~ZnM section.
As long as former, new two grating space Z1 are not more than ZxM-Zxm, the use that can be continued mutually in the sensitizing range of two gratings makes total range of operating body Z coordinate reach Zxm~ZnM.According to the above, under the situation that detects operating body X, Y coordinate, can be to a kind of concrete detection computations mode of operating body Z coordinate values for shown in Figure 7.
How to measure a series of data points of the relative operating body Z of Uxd, Und changes in coordinates by experiment, delimit its minimum value and maximum range, and with the variation relation linearization in its signal sensitizing range or use curve fitting, these all are prior aries, therefore repeat no more.
The detection signal of the corresponding testing circuit output of Y detecting element array can only use among X, the Y with the Changing Pattern of operating body Z coordinate and the basically identical of X-ray grid in the practical application, also X, Y detection signal can be united use.
The radiated element of mode 3, former X, Y coordinate detecting element array is luminous, and the receiving element of the detecting element array that increases newly receives; The radiated element of the detecting element array that perhaps increases newly is luminous, and the receiving element of former X, Y coordinate detecting element array receives.More than two kinds of emissions, receive modes can be created in oblique fire crossed grating on the Z-direction, similar in the relation curve of detection signal and Z coordinate and the mode 2, but can be at different X, Y coordinate points along slightly translation and distortion on the Z-direction, utilize the Z coordinate of its detecting operation body can compensating mode 2 in the immunity region of curve and non-linear.Except intersecting, similar in its concrete detection computations mode and the mode 2, also can carry out with reference to similar detection computations mode in the United States Patent (USP) " Apparatus and method toimprove resolution of infrared touch systems " (US 6429857) simultaneously, therefore no longer describe in detail X, Y coordinate.
Can only increase a new detecting element array, also can increase several new detecting element arrays simultaneously.The detecting element array that increases newly can be arranged on the new grating planar, also can be arranged on a plurality of new grating planars.
Embodiment 2
The described touch-free input device of present embodiment comprises framework, telecommunication circuit, the X of correlation, Y detecting element array and corresponding with it testing circuit and calculation element.As shown in Figure 8, the lower left corner solid-line rectangle representative that is positioned at initial point O has former X, the Y grating planar of X coordinate detecting element array and Y coordinate detecting element array simultaneously.Here set up reflective detecting element array again, the formed new grating planar of this array is that the lower left corner is positioned at the dashed rectangle that Z2 is ordered on the Z axle among Fig. 8, i.e. Z2 grating planar, and the detecting element that increases array newly all is arranged on the bottom of dashed rectangle.The Z1 grating planar is identical among the setting principle of Z2 grating planar position and the embodiment 1.
Newly-installed reflection type infrared detecting element array also is made up of fired infra-red component and receiving element, but transmit and receive the element space and arrange, be arranged on the same inner side edge of framework, as shown in Figure 8, O1 wherein, O3, O5 are radiated elements, and O2, O4 are receiving elements.The light beam axis that transmits and receives element is all in newly-increased Z2 grating planar, and is and parallel with Y-axis.And in fact, the light that radiated element sends is to be a taper shape on summit with the element, receiving element sensitive light also be in of this sort conical scope, the arrow line that makes progress among Fig. 8 representative emission light, downward representative reflection ray, 801 represent operating body.
To the reflective detecting element array that increases newly, there is the respective detection circuit that increases newly to be attached thereto.As aforementioned correlation grating respective detection circuit, the testing circuit that increases newly also is that to drive each radiated element one by one luminous for order, different is all detects the output signal of the receiving element adjacent with light-emitting component at every turn, similar with correlation then in others.The detection signal that increases testing circuit output newly is delivered to a calculation element that increases newly through telecommunication circuit, in order to the positional information of calculating operation body along Z-direction.
Because emission, receiving element have light emission, the receiving area of taper, so reflection type infrared receiving element can be in bigger spatial dimension enteroception Infrared, but detection signal is subjected to the operating body width, the influence of the distance of operating body and emission, receiving element is also bigger, and only the Z coordinate with reflected signal detecting operation body may have than mistake.
Referring to Fig. 8, when radiated element O3 independent when luminous, the output signal of the receiving element O2 that detection is adjacent, the detection signal Urd of its corresponding testing circuit and the Z coordinate of operating body, operating body width W, the distance of operating body and emission, receiving element are relation curve such as Fig. 9, Figure 10 and shown in Figure 11 of its Y coordinate.
The width W that curve representation among Fig. 9 is worked as operating body is certain, one timing of Y coordinate, and detection signal Urd begins from the minimum value of Zrm, along with operating body deeply is that the Z coordinate increases, reflective area is increasing, and Urd is also increasing, the maximal value that reaches capacity up to ZrM point Urd.
Curve representation among Figure 10 when the Z coordinate of operating body certain, Y coordinate one regularly, the operating body width W increases since 0, detection signal Urd begins more and more stronger from minimum value, the Urd maximal value that reaches capacity when width is WM.
The Z coordinate of the curve representation operating body among Figure 11 is certain, width W is certain, when the Y coordinate was 0, reflected light was the strongest, and detection signal Urd is a certain higher value, along with operating body is raised, its Y coordinate is increasing, and the light that reflexes to O2 is fewer and feweri, and Urd is more and more littler for detection signal, reach the YM point that framework limits up to the Y coordinate, detection signal Urd reaches the minimum value in the operating body Y coordinate scope of activities.
Therefore, the detection signal Urd of corresponding receiving element O2 is the function of Z coordinate, width W, Y coordinate, and (Y), wherein the f representative function concerns for Z, W can be expressed as Urd=f.The X coordinate of operating body not simultaneously, the detection signal Urd of corresponding receiving element O2 also can change because always detect the output signal of the receiving element adjacent with light-emitting component, the relative receiving element of operating body just can be ignored in the influence of variation aspect the X coordinate.
Can record by former Y grating detection component, testing circuit and its calculation element the Y coordinate figure, belong to prior art.To the operating body width W, can utilize the detection signal of former X-ray grid respective detection circuit output, obtain as calculated by the calculation element that increases newly.Figure 12 has expressed operating body and has blocked, and a radiated element is luminous in the X coordinate detecting element array, the variation tendency of its each receiving element respective detection circuit output detection signal Ux (N).Here some discrete point XN on the corresponding X-axis of the X coordinate of each receiving element, ordinate Ux (N) represents the amplitude of each detection signal.For convenience of calculation, each the discrete coordinates point among Figure 12 is connected with curve fitting.
When not having operating body to block, it is the massif shape at center that Ux (N) should form with light-emitting component X coordinate.Because blocking of operating body, it is the pit at center that Ux among Figure 12 (N) occurs with operating body X coordinate, and the A/F of pit is Δ X.Can go out the operating body width W by the linear relationship approximate treatment according to Δ X, W=w (Δ X+crx).Wherein w is a scale-up factor, and crx is a constant, and the both can measure Ux (N) data of many groups when having operating body to block through experiment, obtains as calculated after the match respectively with curve.
In the scope of sensitizing range, the Z coordinate of operating body can be calculated as follows:
Z coordinate=Z (Urd, W, Y)
=Kr·[(Urd-Urd(Zrm))(Y+cry)/W]+Zrm
In the following formula, Z representative function relation, Kr is a sensitivity coefficient, and Urd is in the minimum value at Zrm place in Urd (Zrm) corresponding diagram 9, and cry is a constant, (Y+cry)/effect of W is to eliminate operating body width W and the influence of height Y coordinate to the Z coordinate Calculation to a certain extent.To Kr, Urd (Zrm), cry and Zrm, can make up the Urd data that measure under a plurality of Z coordinates of operating body, a plurality of width W and a plurality of Y coordinate situation by experiment, after fitting to many curves respectively, calculate acquisition through set up and solving an equation etc., these all are prior aries, therefore repeat no more.
Under the situation that detects operating body X, Y coordinate, as shown in figure 13 according to the flow process of detection signal Urd calculating operation body Z coordinate.How to utilize former X, Y grating detecting operation body Z coordinate to increase detection range and precision simultaneously, can copy embodiment 1 to finish, repeat no more here the Z coordinate.
To newly-increased reflection grating plane, can reflective emission also can be set at each side of framework, receive the detecting element array at a side of framework.Only increase is provided with a new grating planar, also can increase a plurality of new grating planars are set.Z2 can be on the occasion of, also can be negative value.
Embodiment 3
In embodiment 2, reflective infrared detection device array is set forms new grating planar, in order to the Z coordinate of detecting operation body.If infrared emission component among the embodiment 2 and infrared receiver component are replaced with ultrasonic emitting element and ultrasound wave receiving element, are formed the acoustic grating plane, and, promptly become the technical scheme of present embodiment with the also corresponding replacement of testing circuit.
The ultrasonic reflections formula detects principle and characteristic to ultrared extremely similar, substitute infrared components with ultrasonic element, corresponding detection signals also is the function of operating body Z coordinate, width W, height Y coordinate simultaneously, its characteristic is to similar described in the embodiment 2, therefore according to ultrasonic signal detection computations Z coordinate, others all with embodiment 2 in identical about infrared components, repeat no more here.
Embodiment 4
Present embodiment is the technical scheme about touch-free input device framework design of the present invention.To leave the display device panel enough far away for the grating planar that makes aforementioned X, Y grating planar and increase setting newly, be easy to make operating body to avoid touching the display device panel, set up support specially for framework, this support and framework are discrete or integral structure, and support between this between the two when framework and display device were installed together.
As shown in figure 14, increase support 107 is set, this support or be separate structure is installed together use with frame combination, perhaps is shown in Figure 14 making like that and the incorporate structure of framework.Support 107 should have enough width, makes the grating planar of newly establishing on the framework leave display device panel enough (generally more than 10 millimeters) far away, allows operating body be easy to avoid touching the panel of display device.Support 107 can be arranged on the angle or limit of framework, also can be provided with around one week of framework, becomes the ring texture of continual rectangle or other shape, and this makes frame thickness appear to have bigger increase.
Following embodiment is an overall technical architecture of exempting from touch input device and method about of the present invention.
