1 is a perspective view of a multimedia table according to a conventional embodiment.

1, a multimedia table according to an embodiment includes a touch screen monitor 100 having a large touch screen monitor, a table 110 having a built-in touch screen monitor, a table support 120 for supporting the table, A speaker 130, and the like.

The touch screen monitor 100 generates a touch signal and outputs image information corresponding thereto. The table 110 is built in the table 110 having a groove. The table 110, in which the touch screen monitor can be installed, (212) and a table top plate square frame (202).

The touch screen monitor 100 includes a touch sensor that supports a touch screen function, and the touch sensor may be any one of a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an ultrasonic type, a tension measurement type, an infrared light type, and a pressure type Is used.

Here, the resistive film is formed by applying a resistance component on a glass plate and covering the film with a special film thereon. When a special current is applied to both ends of the resistive film in a shape in which a resistive component is applied to the inside of the special film and the insulating bar is raised at regular intervals so that the resistive component does not contact the glass surface, It is a method to detect touching part connected.

The capacitance type is made by coating transparent transparent conductive metal (TAO: Tin Antimony Oxide) material on both sides of the glass constituting the touch sensor and uses the capacitance in the human body. A touch-sensitive touch screen uses glass coated with a thin metal conductive material. When a certain amount of current flows on the glass surface and a glass surface coated with a user's hand or an external object is touched, a certain amount of current is absorbed into the user's body , The touch screen recognizes the portion where the amount of current is changed and confirms the touched portion.

In the ultrasonic method, when a transducer attached to a glass plate sends a surface wave, the opposite receiver receives the surface wave. Since the transmitted surface wave is constant, if a pressure is applied to a specific portion, the surface wave of the applied portion is weakened, and the x, y coordinates of the touch portion are read by the touch screen screen controller.

The tension measuring method is a method of detecting the coordinates of the touched point according to the degree of force applied to the touch screen monitor screen by attaching a sensor capable of measuring tension to the four corners of the touch screen monitor.

[0044] The infrared optical system utilizes the property that the infrared ray has a straight-line property and can not proceed because of obstruction. The pressure-sensitive part cuts off infrared rays coming from the horizontal and vertical directions, and reads the X and Y coordinates of the blocked part to detect it. That is, the infrared ray method is to confirm the touched position by intercepting the infrared ray of light on the front surface of the touch screen.

The pressure method is to place a pressure sensor in a lattice pattern on the surface of the screen so that when the pressure of the user's hand or an external object is transmitted, the sensor senses the position of the place where the pressure is generated. When a pressure at a specific position is detected, a function previously assigned to the position is automatically performed.
