Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for optoelectronic position determination of an object according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device for carrying out the method according to the preamble of claim 3.
  • the device there is preferably used for the detection of water drops on a glass pane, it being possible for a windshield wiper to be controlled as a function of the drops determined.
  • two measuring sections are set up between a radiation source and a radiation receiver. While the radiation source emits the radiation, the radiation receiver determines the reflection reflected on surfaces or objects. The two measuring sections are operated periodically and alternately via a clock generator. The detection signals determined by the radiation receiver are filtered and broken down again into the detection signals assigned to the individual measuring sections in a synchronous demodulator controlled by the clock generator. A useful signal is determined from this in a comparator and used as a measure of the wetting that has taken place.
  • a useful signal U (t) of zero results.
  • the useful signal is fed to a signal centering stage. Depending on whether there is a control voltage at the output or not, this control voltage is then used to regulate the amount of radiation radiated into the measuring sections, so that the detection signal is readjusted as a function of a time constant. This makes it possible to to detect cal changes in the sensor-active area of the measuring arrangement, while at the same time reliable extraneous light compensation takes place.
  • a method for optoelectronic detection of the angular position of a measurement object is known from DE 43 32 022 C2.
  • the angle refers to the rotation about an axis that is perpendicular to the plane in which the optical axis of the receiver and the at least two light sources lie.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a method and a device that can easily and inexpensively detect the position and / or movement of an object in an optoelectronic manner.
  • optoelectronic measuring sections are provided, into which a certain radiation is radiated, with the retroreflection from a radiation receiver likewise being used here is recorded.
  • External light compensation can preferably be provided so that the method and device can also be operated under any external light conditions.
  • the initial values from the measurement sections should be separately detectable and the spatial relationships between radiation sources and radiation receivers should be fixed. It is thus possible to use the measured values of individual measuring sections for determining the position as well as for determining the movement of an object which is moving in the sensor-active area of the measuring arrangement. Due to the spatially separated arrangement of the radiation sources, the object always has clearly defined ratios of the retroreflection retroreflected from the two measurement sections to determine the position and / or the movement of the object. This ratio is initially independent of how strongly the object reflects the radiation. In addition, the location of the object that generates the strongest retroreflection, which is usually the closest to the measuring arrangement, is always determined.
  • a corresponding device for determining a clear result can be improved by providing at least one further radiation source. If there are over-determined equations, the solutions drop out in which the object should be inside the measuring arrangement or below or behind the measuring arrangement.

However, a plurality of media can also be provided which are transparent to the respective radiation.
  • the light of the light emitting diodes 1,3 is reflected on a finger as the object 50.
  • a photodiode or a correspondingly connected light-emitting diode can serve as radiation source 2.
  • the glass plate or another surface should be transparent to light or radiation at least in a certain wavelength range.
  • the light from the light-emitting diode 1 is only partially reflected on the glass plate 31 and thus emerges into the outside space, whereby it is again reflected by an object 50, here a finger, and can thus be partially scattered back into the photodiode 2.
  • the two light-emitting diodes 1, 3 are supplied with voltage by means of a clock generator 13, the signal of one of the two light-emitting diodes being inverted.

  • This object can be achieved with the circuit 60 described below, which is known per se, but not for this purpose, from the earlier patent application 100 01 955.2. Further embodiments are also explained there, for the sake of simplicity, however, only one embodiment of this type for detecting a movement pattern corresponding to a switching operation is described, a distinction being made again between U (t) and U R (t):
  • Figs. 3.1, 3.2, 4 the useful signal U (t) emitted by the sensor device described above is shown in different situations. 4a, the useful signal U (t) is plotted when the sensor-active area S is tapped. A switching operation is to be triggered by such a signal. In Figs. 3.1 and 3.2, useful signal curves are plotted, as they occur when sweeping once or wiping back and forth across the sensor-active area S. Such signal profiles should not trigger a switching process. This goal is achieved as follows (Fig. 1):
  • the useful signal U (t) is fed to the high-pass filter 16, which acts here as a differentiating element, so that the value U ⁇ t) of the differentiated motion signal is present at its output.
  • the value U (t) of the useful signal increases analogously to move slowly and stops abruptly when the finger is braked on the glass plate 31, see FIG. 4a. If the finger remains motionless, the value U (t) of the useful signal is slowly returned to U 0 .
  • the abrupt change in the value of the useful signal leads to a jump in the movement signal value U ⁇ (t) at the output of the high-pass filter 16, see FIG. 4b.
  • the cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter 16 is selected such that tapping at a moderate speed still leads to a signal that is easy to detect.
  • the cut-off frequency could, for example, be in the range of 10 Hertz.
  • a signal generated from the useful signal namely the motion signal obtained by differentiation, is used, which triggers a first process when its value U ⁇ (t) exceeds a certain limit value U G1 .
  • the useful signal is used directly and triggers a process - change in the state of the flip-flop - when the value U (t) of the useful signal exceeds or falls below a certain value.
  • the output of the threshold switch 34 is connected to the reset input of the flip-flop 82, so that in the event of an overwipe or the like which has set the flip-flop 82 to active, it is reset to zero a short time later.
  • the output signal of the flip-flop 82 is fed to the time detection circuit 33.
  • This circuit is set so that its output is only set to active when the flip-flop 82 is on. less than a predetermined time ⁇ t ⁇ , for example 100 ms, was active.
  • This predetermined first time period ⁇ ti corresponds approximately to the usual minimum dwell time of a finger, a hand or another part of the body when a switch designed as an electrical switching element is tapped.
  • the output of the time detection circuit 33 is connected to the set input of the second flip-flop 18. If the sensor-active surface is deliberately tapped, the output of the second flip-flop 18 is thus set to active, since here the time between setting the first flip-flop 82 and resetting this flip-flop is greater than ⁇ ti, in other words: the finger remains longer than ⁇ t 1 on the sensor-active surface 26. However, in the case of movements which are not intended to trigger a switching operation - for example wiping with a cloth - the time between setting and resetting the first flip-flop 82 is less than ⁇ ti, so that these movements are therefore not for setting the second flip-flop 18 lead. By tapping the sensor-active surface, the state of the second flip-flop 18 is changed in a controlled manner.
  • the output of the flip-flop 18 can also be connected to a switching output 23, for example a relay, which, for example; used in conjunction with the value at output 59 to control or operate a device.
  • the circuit 60 thus recognizes the following movement pattern: approaching an object - abrupt braking of the object r persistence of the object for a period of time which exceeds a predetermined period of time. If this movement pattern is recognized, the switching state of a switching element, here of the second flip-flop 18, is changed. The movement of the object can then be detected with the circuit explained at the beginning on the basis of the output values U (t), U R (t), for example in order to achieve an adjustment movement of a device - for example temperature setting of a hotplate.
  • the second flip-flop 18 set by tapping the sensor-active surface 26 will be reset by deliberately removing the finger. This then results in the function of a button.
  • the instantaneous value of the control signal U R (t) present at the output of the signal centering stage 11 is sampled and stored at a point in time at which the approximate object is still just in front of the user interface.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif servant à la détermination optoélectronique de la position d'un objet (50) par l'intermédiaire d'un montage métrologique, séparé de l'objet (50) par un moyen (31, 52) perméable à au moins un rayonnement déterminé. Ce montage métrologique comprend au moins une zone (S) d'activité sensorielle dans ledit moyen, comprenant au moins deux lignes de mesure (x, y), qui sont maintenues par au moins deux sources de rayonnement (1, 3) émettant le rayonnement déterminé et par au moins un récepteur de rayonnement (2) affecté aux sources de rayonnement. Ce récepteur de rayonnement détermine la réflexion (53) renvoyée par l'objet (50) pour créer un signal de détection correspondant au rayonnement reçu. Selon l'invention, les sources de rayonnement (1, 3) émettent un rayonnement déterminé et la réflexion (53) renvoyée par l'objet (50) est saisie, afin d'allouer des valeurs initiales (U(t), UR(d)) à chacune des lignes de mesure. L'invention est caractérisée en ce qu'une unité d'évaluation (55) définit la position et/ou le mouvement d'un objet (50) en déterminant, à partir de la valeur initiale (UR(T), UR(d)), une courbe angulaire précise de l'objet par rapport aux sources de rayonnement (1, 3, 57) pour un rapport spatial connu de ces dernières entre elles. L'optoélectronique permet ainsi de manière simple et avantageuse de saisir la position et/ou le mouvement d'un objet.
