Abstract

A host system with a touch function and a method of performing the same are provided. The host system includes a monitor electrically connected to a host, an input unit, a first image sensing unit, an object detecting unit and a coordinate positioning unit. When the input unit touches the screen, the first image sensing unit senses an image which the monitor displays. The object detecting unit identifies the input unit on the screen for the coordinate positioning unit to detect further XY coordinate values on the screen which the input unit touches. The coordinate positioning unit transmits the XY coordinate values to the host. The host determines a corresponding function according to the image which the input unit touches on the screen. By detecting the XY coordinate values on the screen which the input unit touches, the host system implements the touch function without a touch panel.

[Prior Art] Touch Panel (Touch Panel) is also called Touch Screen. At present, touch panels are widely used in life, such as automatic teller machines, smart hand machines, personal digital assistants ( Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), industrial computer, its intuitive input method can replace the operation of keyboard, mouse or button, which is simpler and more convenient to use. The display device with touch function is mounted on the surface of the display with a touch panel. The display device can be a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a cathode ray tube display (CRT). Display). Touch sensing technologies of touch panels today include capacitive, resistive, surface Φ Acoustic Wave, and infrared ray touch panels for receiving a touch signal on a surface. Inductive device, the source of the touch signal such as an electromagnetic pen or a finger. The above sensing technologies are more common with resistive touch panels and capacitive touch panels. Although the resistive touch panel has a short life, it is a low-cost, currently used sensing technology. The principle is to search for the coordinates of the touch signal by means of voltage drop. The capacitive touch panel uses the principle of capacitive sensing to search for the coordinates of the touch signal, which has better sensing effect and durability. With the popularity of the iPhone touch phone produced by Apple, the multi-touch function of the capacitor 201015374 'touch panel has attracted more manufacturers to invest in the development of the future. The control panel belongs to the human-machine interface technology. The capacitive touch panel with multi-touch function can meet the needs of humanization, so it is expected to surpass the resistive touch panel to become the mainstream in the market. The above-mentioned manufacturing of the display device with touch function is to mount a touch panel on the surface of the display. Taking a liquid crystal display as an example, if the size of the liquid crystal display is 19 ,, the 15 吋 touch panel cannot be applied to the 19 液晶 liquid crystal display, and the 19 吋 touch panel must be customized. Therefore, the current beta-display device with touch function has the problem that the price of the touch panel cannot be lowered, and the cost of the display device cannot be lowered. In addition, the size of the display device must conform to the size of the touch panel, making the touch panel less flexible in application and slowing down its future development. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a solution to the above problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to providing a host system with touch (four) and an execution method that enables the host system to achieve a touch function without requiring an expensive touch panel. Another object of the invention is to provide a touch panel of a host system with a touch function. For the above purpose, the host system with touch function of the present invention includes one and one h^ single-first image-sensing unit, and a target identification unit to locate the unit. The screen is electrically connected to a main image. The input unit is used to contact the display screen. The display unit provides the image. The image sensing unit is set to the sense 6 201015374 - The measurement range covers the screen to sense the image displayed on the screen. The target identification unit is connected to the first image sensing unit for identifying the input unit on the screen. The positioning unit is connected to the first image sensing unit for detecting the XY coordinate value of the input unit contacting the screen, and transmitting the XY coordinate value to the host, so that the host determines, according to the XY coordinate value, that the input unit contacts the image of the screen. Features. The method for performing the touch function host system of the present invention comprises the following steps: a first image sensing unit senses an image displayed on a screen; a target identification unit identifies an input unit on the screen; After the input unit on the screen, a positioning unit detects that the input unit contacts the XY coordinate value on the screen; and transmits the XY coordinate value back to a host, so that the host can judge the image of the input unit contacting the screen according to the XY coordinate value. The function. The host system with touch function of the present invention and the execution method thereof can detect the χ coordinate value on the screen by the input unit, so that the general screen in the host system can have the touch function without additional installation of the touch panel, thereby reducing The cost of the entire host system, especially when the screen size is larger, the conventional technology must customize the touch panel with the same size as the screen, and install the touch panel on the screen to make the screen Φ have the touch function, and The invention only needs to set the first image sensing unit to the sensing range to cover the entire screen, so that the screen has a touch function. Furthermore, the present invention can simultaneously detect multi-point coordinate values, so that the screen has a multi-touch function as the touch panel, but the cost is lower than that of the expensive touch panel. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, the technical contents of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a block diagram of a host system 100 in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. The host system 100 includes a screen 102 electrically connected to a host 7 201015374 112, an input unit J 〇 4, a single and a positioning unit 110W like the sensing unit 106, a target identification device 112 such as a desktop computer. The notebook computer, the main body of the cash dispenser, the host of the =-type amusement machine, and the screen m are used to display the host computer 112: like 1U. The input unit 104 is for a user to contact the screen 1 2, and an object such as a two-finger pen and its tip-shaped object can be used as a rim to sense the image displayed on the screen 102. The identification early 108 is connected to the first image sensing unit 106 for recognizing the input unit (10) on the flash 102. Positioning unit U. The connection first image sensing t 106 ' is used to measure the χ coordinate value (Xl'Y〇) of the input unit 1〇4 contacting the screen 1〇2, and returning the measured χγ coordinate (χπ) value. The host 112 is configured to allow the host 112 to determine the function corresponding to the image 114 of the honor screen 102 by the input unit ι 4 according to the ΧΥ coordinate value (χ, γι). The corresponding function depends on the type of the host 112, generally speaking, It is a program in the host computer 112. A desktop computer or a notebook computer is used as an example of the image displayed on the screen (10). For example, the operating system system includes various applications for the user to execute. When the input unit 104 contacts the screen 102, the target identification unit 1〇8 recognizes the input unit 104 on the screen by image processing, and then the positioning unit 11 detects the tip-shaped contact screen 102 of the input unit 1〇4. Χγ coordinate value (Χι Υι), where & represents the coordinate value of the horizontal direction of the screen 1〇2, and ¥1 represents the coordinate value of the vertical direction of the screen 1〇2. The detected coordinate value (X丨, Yl) will be transmitted. Returning to the host 112 for the host U2 to determine the user's choice The function on the screen 102 is to select the function columns of various applications. Therefore, the screen 102 is just like the touch function, directly on the screen 1〇2 8 201015374 * Click to operate various applications. In another implementation For example, if the host 112 is a slot machine, the screen displayed by the screen 102 is a game menu including a plurality of games. When the screen is selected as the input unit 104, the first image is detected. The measuring unit 1〇6 transmits the measured coordinate value (ΧιΥι) to the host U2, and the host computer 12 determines the game selected by the user and executes the game. The first image sensing unit 1〇6 is an external connection. The camera needs to connect the external camera to the host 112 when it is used. After use, the external camera 10 can be removed from the host 112 for rapid removal and installation. The interface between the external camera and the host 112 is connected. The system is selected from any one of the group consisting of a universal serial bus (USB), IEEE 1394, and wireless (Wireless). In the present embodiment, the first image sensing unit 1〇 6. The target identification unit ι〇8 and the unit το 11G are divided into two positions. The 图2 system displays the first image sensing unit 106, the target identification unit 1〇8 and the positioning unit (10) in the third circle. - The schematic diagram of the module, the integration of the above three into one module can increase the mobility of the mainframe system. In another implementation, the image sensing unit (10) is a camera built into the host 112. Or built in the host 112, the resolution requirement does not need to be too high, in general, the resolution of the megapixel can sense the clear picture for the target identification unit 108 and the positioning unit 110 for subsequent processing. The above-mentioned target identification unit can recognize the input unit 104, and the power of the χ 座 coordinate value of the 输入 元 元 G G G 6 6 G6 contact wire 102 can be selected by hard Zhao or software. The first image sensing unit 106 further includes a telescopic device for the user 9 201015374 to adjust the distance between the first image sensing unit i 06 and the screen 丨 02 according to actual needs, so that the positioning unit 110 is in the detecting input unit. The XY coordinate value on the tip of the touch screen of 1〇4 is more accurate. Please refer to Fig. 3, which is a block diagram showing the host system 1〇〇 of the second embodiment of the present invention. The same components as those in FIG. 1 have the same functions and have the same functions, and therefore are not described herein. The difference between the two is that the host system 100' of FIG. 3 further includes a second image sensing unit 116 such as a camera, which is disposed on the screen. One side of the 102 is used to sense the input image of the input unit 1〇4 and the screen 1〇2, that is, the surface of the screen 102 is sensed, and the image 114 touched by the input unit 1 〇 4 and the screen i 〇 2 is transmitted to The host 112 is configured to determine, by the host 112, the contact state of the input unit 104 and the screen 102, such as the contact area size, the contact time, etc. The contact area of the input unit 104 and the screen 1〇2 is taken as an example, when the input unit 1〇4 is used. When the finger is a finger, the host 112 determines that the contact area is a small area representing a state in which the finger performs a tap; conversely, if the host 112 determines that the contact area is a large area, it represents a state in which the finger performs a heavy press. The host 112 can be based on the first image sense. The measuring unit 106 is configured to perform a more accurate determination with the second image sensing unit 116. For example, the host 112 determines the input unit 104 according to the image unit lu that the second image sensing unit 110 returns to the input unit 104 and the screen 1〇2. The screen 102 is in a state of direct contact. On the other hand, the XY coordinate value (X1, Yl) detected by the first image sensing unit 106 represents the moving direction of the input unit 104. The above information can be used to know the input unit ι〇. 4 is always in contact with the screen 102 and moves from one point to another, that is, the input unit ι〇4 is dragged from one point to another to complete the detection of the touch function. In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above The positioning unit 11 can simultaneously measure the coordinate values of the plurality of input units 104 in contact with the screen 102, and transmit the plurality of coordinate values detected by the 201015374* to the host 112 at the same time. It is equivalent to the multi-touch function of the general capacitive touch panel. Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a flow chart showing the execution method of the host system with touch function of the present invention, including the following steps: Step S410, a first The image sensing unit senses an image displayed on a screen, wherein the image displayed on the screen is a program stored in the host, such as a desktop application or a game menu of a coin-operated amusement machine;” Step S42〇 In the middle, a target identification unit recognizes an input single element on the screen, and the input unit is used for the user to contact the screen, such as an electromagnetic pen, a finger or a general pen, and the tip thereof is a tip. In step S430, after recognizing the input unit on the screen, a positioning unit detects the χ γ coordinate value when the input unit contacts the screen; and step S44 〇t 'transmits the χ γ coordinate value back to the host for the host According to the coordinate value, it is judged that the input unit touches the function corresponding to the image of the glory screen, such as the application of the desktop computer or the game menu of the coin-operated game machine: the image sensing unit It includes - opposing telescopic passage, for adjusting the distance between the first image sensing Wu and single screen. ', the displayed image is too small or not clear, the distance device of the screen of the glory screen makes the first image sensing unit close to him, & the first image sensing unit senses that the screen is too large to cause _(4) ^ The shadow unit is far from the curtain. The telescopic device causes the second image sensing unit to sense the input unit, and the first image sensing unit, and the second image sensing unit, the sensing input unit, and the image sensing unit The image of the Firefly I is connected to the host, and the image is sent to the host for the host (4) input unit 201015374 and the screen contact state. It causes the host to judge that the contact state of the input unit and the screen includes a contact area or a contact time. Thereby, the host can make a more accurate judgment according to the first image sensing unit and the second image sensing unit. The clamping unit can not only detect the χ coordinate value of the single input unit in contact with the screen, but also detect the χ coordinate value of the multiple input unit and the screen contact, and transmit the detected multiple coordinate values back to the host. The host achieves a multi-touch function equivalent to a general capacitive touch panel. The touch-enabled host system of the present invention can detect the input device to contact the χ 座 coordinate value of the glory screen to enable the general screen in the host system to have a touch function without additionally installing a touch panel, thereby reducing the entire host.
