Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing structural principle of the present utility model and principle of work are done concrete description:
With reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, optical touch control apparatus 100 can be positioned on the display screen 200 (for example: the screen of LCD, the screen of cathode-ray tube display, electronic whiteboard etc.).
Optical touch control apparatus 100 is in order to provide touch area 102.And 102 corner is provided with image sensor (image sensor) 110 and luminescence component 120 in the touch area.Image sensor 110 is electrically connected to a processing unit 130.This handles the running of unit 130 in order to control optical touch control apparatus 100.
Single optical touch control apparatus 100 can be provided with single image sensor 110 (as shown in Figures 1 and 2), and plural image sensor 110a, 110b, 110c (being commonly referred to as 110) (as Fig. 4 and shown in Figure 5) also can be set.Single optical touch control apparatus 100 can be provided with single luminescence component 120 (as shown in Figures 2 and 3), and plural luminescence component 120a, 120b, 120c (being commonly referred to as 120) (as shown in Figures 3 and 4) also can be set.
110 pairs of each image sensors should have a luminescence component 120.The light that image sensor 110 is sent according to pairing luminescence component 120 detects the indicant 300 on the touch area 102.In addition, optical touch control apparatus 100 also can have waveguide assemblies or reflection subassembly 140.Waveguide assemblies or reflection subassembly 140 selectivity are arranged on the periphery of touch area 102.
Please merge with reference to Fig. 5, in optical touch control apparatus 100 be in dormant during, actuating presents the luminescence component 120a (step 510) in the dormant luminescence component 120, sends a light (step 520) to the touch area 102 to cause luminescence component 120a.And, actuating presents the image sensor 110a (step 510) in the dormant image sensor 110, be detected on indicant 300 (step 520) on the touch area 102 with the light that causes image sensor 110a to be sent, so as to judging on the touch area 102 whether have indicant 300 according to pairing luminescence component 120a.In this, but corresponding mutually luminescence component 120a and image sensor 110a synchronous operation promptly activated simultaneously.
When image sensor 110a detects when having indicant 300 on the touch area 102, image sensor 110a sends a signalisation processing unit 130 (step 530), cause processing unit 130 these signals of response and wake whole optical touch control apparatus up, for example: still present dormant image sensor 110, luminescence component 120 and other assembly (step 532).In optical touch control apparatus 100 be in dormant during, the signal that image sensor 110a is sent can not comprise the coordinate information of indicant 300.
When image sensor 110a does not detect when having indicant 300 on the touch area 102, luminescence component 120a and image sensor 110a then enter sleep state (step 540) once more.
With reference to Fig. 6, in step 510, image sensor 110a can periodically activate (step 512), detects indicant 300 (step 520) to cause image sensor 110a with first frequency.Wherein, this first frequency is less than the detection frequency of image sensor 110a under the normal operation state.For instance, in optical touch control apparatus 100 be in the normal operation state during, the detection frequency of image sensor 110a can be per second and detects 240 frames (frame); And in optical touch control apparatus 100 be in dormant during, first frequency then detects 240 frames much smaller than per second, for example: image sensor 110a per second detects 1 or 2 frames.
With reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, optical touch control apparatus 100 can be provided with a timer 112.In optical touch control apparatus 100 be in dormant during, timer 112 can periodically activate corresponding image sensor 110a and be detected on indicant 300 on the touch area 102, so as to waking up opportunity of decision optical touch control apparatus 100.In other words, can utilize the timer 112 of low power consumption periodically to wake image sensor 110a up to carry out the detection of indicant 300.In this, timer 112 can be arranged among its image sensor 110a that wakes up, also can be arranged on outside the image sensor 110a.
Moreover image sensor 110a can design a blocking stitch (interception pin) 114 especially.This blocking stitch 114 is electrically connected to processing unit 130.In optical touch control apparatus 100 be in dormant during, when image sensor 110a detects when having indicant 300 on the touch area 102, image sensor 110a sends an obstruction signal to processing unit 130 via blocking stitch 114, wakes whole optical touch control apparatus 100 to cause processing unit 130 up according to obstruction signal.In other words, when image sensor 110a detects when having indicant 300 on the touch area 102, utilize obstruction signal to wake up and present dormant processing unit 130, and then wake whole optical touch control apparatus 100 up by processing unit 130 again, for example: still present dormant image sensor 110, luminescence component 120 and other assembly.
In addition, in optical touch control apparatus be in dormant during, the image sensor 110a that activated also can communicate by serial transmission and processing unit 130.
For example, with reference to Fig. 9, in optical touch control apparatus be in dormant during, can be by processing unit 130 via I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit, built-in integrated circuit) bus 400 is regularly sent sense command and is given image sensor 110a, periodically carries out the detection of indicant 300 to cause image sensor 110a.When image sensor detects when having indicant on the touch area, image sensor is also via I2C bus notifier processes unit, to wake whole optical touch control apparatus up.
With reference to Figure 10, in step 520, image sensor 110a can judge whether have indicant 300 (step 522) on the touch area 102 according to the reflected light that receives again by receiving the reflected light (step 521) of the light that is sent corresponding to luminescence component 120a.For instance, when indicant 300 was positioned on the touch area 102, image sensor 110a then can receive the reflected light that indicant 300 reflection rays are produced.
Moreover with reference to Figure 11, in step 520, image sensor 110a can be by detecting the light (step 523) that luminescence component 120a is sent, and judges whether have indicant 300 (step 524) on the touch area 102 according to the light that whether receives again.
In addition, with reference to Figure 12, in step 520, image sensor 110a can only detect the regional area (step 525) of touch area 102, whether to have indicant 300 on the regional area of judging touch area 102.
Sleep/wake method and optical touch control apparatus according to optical touch control apparatus of the present utility model, its be in optical touch control apparatus be in dormant during, all image sensors image sensor wherein that only is actuated at optical touch control apparatus carries out the detection of indicant, wake the opportunity of whole optical touch control apparatus up with decision, so as to be reduced to optical touch control apparatus be in dormant during the loss of electric current, and then can meet the power consumption stream standard of 2.5mA (milliampere).
Certainly; the utility model also can have other various embodiments; under the situation that does not deviate from the utility model spirit and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art work as can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the utility model, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection domain of the appended claim of the utility model.
