Description
本發明有關於一種光學觸控裝置,其以光學方式偵測輸入裝置之移動而產生訊號。本發明也有關於控制該裝置的方法。The invention relates to an optical touch device for optically detecting the movement of an input device to generate a signal. The invention also relates to a method of controlling the device.
觸控裝置已為現今常見之電子元件,可見於例如筆記型電腦之觸控板(touchpad)、或如自動櫃員機、個人數位助理機、電子辭典等之觸控式螢幕(touch screen or touch panel)等等。目前各種觸控裝置是以電阻式或電容式的方式來感測觸控的位置。電阻式的驅動原理是利用電壓降的方式來找座標軸,當電阻式觸控螢幕被觸到的時候,由於迴路被導通,而會產生電壓降,且在面板的水平和垂直方向上,隨位置的不同,電壓降也不同,因此控制器可根據電壓降來計算出座標。電容式的架構則是以ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)玻璃為主體,其驅動原理是在ITO玻璃的四角放電,使表面形成一個均勻的電場,當可以導電的物體,例如手指,使微量的電流導通流失,控制器便計算出電流流失的比例,並進而算出X軸和Y軸座標。Touch devices have become common electronic components today, and can be found, for example, in touchpads of notebook computers, or touch screen or touch panels such as automated teller machines, personal digital assistants, electronic dictionaries, and the like. and many more. At present, various touch devices sense the position of the touch in a resistive or capacitive manner. The resistive drive principle is to use the voltage drop method to find the coordinate axis. When the resistive touch screen is touched, the voltage drop occurs due to the loop being turned on, and in the horizontal and vertical directions of the panel, with the position The voltage drop is different, so the controller can calculate the coordinates based on the voltage drop. The capacitive structure is based on ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) glass. The driving principle is to discharge at the four corners of the ITO glass to form a uniform electric field on the surface. When a conductive object, such as a finger, conducts a small amount of current. When it is lost, the controller calculates the ratio of current loss and further calculates the X-axis and Y-axis coordinates.
本發明之目的在提供一種嶄新的光學觸控裝置,其驅動原理既非電阻式亦非電容式,而是以光學方式偵測輸入裝置之移動。因此,輸入裝置既不需要對螢幕或觸控板施 壓,也不需要具有導電性。而且本發明之觸控裝置在製作上不需要使用複雜的元件與製程,成本遠較習知電阻式或電容式觸控裝置來得低。The object of the present invention is to provide a new optical touch device whose driving principle is neither resistive nor capacitive, but optically detecting the movement of the input device. Therefore, the input device does not need to apply to the screen or the touchpad. Pressure does not need to be electrically conductive. Moreover, the touch device of the present invention does not require complicated components and processes for fabrication, and the cost is much lower than that of a conventional resistive or capacitive touch device.
本發明之第二目的在提供一種觸控裝置之控制方法。A second object of the present invention is to provide a method of controlling a touch device.

上述實施例中,可設置一個內部紅外線光源。又,在導光模組與影像感測模組之間可設置一組透鏡。此外,可再設置一個反饋控制電路,以根據導光模組所產生之光學資訊,而反饋控制內部光源之亮度。影像感測模組所產生的電子訊號,可透過一處理電路來處理,而產生訊號控制游標,或控制其他電路之動作,或產生三維資訊。In the above embodiment, an internal infrared light source may be provided. Moreover, a set of lenses can be disposed between the light guiding module and the image sensing module.

底下藉由具體實施例詳加說明,當更容易瞭解本發明之目的、技術內容、特點及其所達成之功效。The purpose, technical content, features and effects achieved by the present invention will be more readily understood by the detailed description of the embodiments.
本發明中的圖式均屬示意,主要意在表示元件間的結構與功能關係,而非限定元件之形狀或其間之比例關係。本發明之光學觸控裝置可應用於觸控板、觸控螢幕、或其他控制用途。事實上本發明之光學觸控裝置並不絕對需要「觸」控,但因本發明目的之一在於對現有觸控裝置提供另一種解決方案,因此仍沿用「觸控裝置」之用語。The drawings in the present invention are intended to be illustrative, and are intended to represent a structural and functional relationship between the elements, rather than limiting the shape of the elements or the relationship therebetween. The optical touch device of the present invention can be applied to a touch panel, a touch screen, or other control purposes. In fact, the optical touch device of the present invention does not absolutely require "touch" control. However, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide another solution for the existing touch device, and therefore the term "touch device" is still used.
請參閱第1圖,本發明之光學觸控裝置10基本上包括光源12、導光模組14、以及影像感測模組16,其外部則設有輸入裝置20。輸入裝置20可以是任何物件,例如手指、筆狀物、等等,而不必是光學觸控裝置10的專屬零件;輸入裝置20不必具有導電性。光源12的作用是將光投射至導光模組14內,其位置不必須如圖所示,而可在其他位置,例如觸控表面141的正上方或側上方。如果自然光源夠強,則光源12亦可省略;但一般而言宜提供光源12,且以紅外線光源為佳,以求光線亮度穩定。導光模組14的作用是將輸入裝置20的移動狀態傳達給影像感測模組16;導光模組本身已為實用之技術,可使用塑膠射出成型、噴墨技術、或壓印技術來製作,其製作方法非本案重點,因此不予詳細說明。例如稜鏡,即為導光模組14之其中一種較簡單形式。在較複雜的形式中,導光模組14內包括導光板(未示出),可將從光源12發出的線性光源轉變成折射性的平面光源,均勻投射至觸控表面141,並且將從觸 控表面141所接收的輸入或反射光線傳達給影像感測模組16,使影像感測模組16得以擷取有關輸入裝置20移動的光學資訊。較佳而言,輸入裝置20的前端可加設反光材質21,如此可使影像感測模組16所擷取的光學資訊更為正確。輸入裝置20不需要向觸控表面141施壓,因此並不絕對需要直接接觸觸控表面141。與沿用「觸控裝置」用語的原因相似,本發明中使用「觸控表面」一詞,並非意指輸入裝置20必須和觸控表面141接觸,而是表示其功能類似於現行技術之觸控板、觸控螢幕等。Referring to FIG. 1 , the optical touch device 10 of the present invention basically includes a light source 12 , a light guiding module 14 , and an image sensing module 16 , and an input device 20 is disposed outside. The input device 20 can be any item, such as a finger, a pen, or the like, without necessarily being a dedicated part of the optical touch device 10; the input device 20 need not be electrically conductive. The function of the light source 12 is to project light into the light guiding module 14, the position of which is not necessarily as shown, but may be at other positions, such as directly above or above the touch surface 141. If the natural light source is strong enough, the light source 12 can also be omitted; however, it is generally preferable to provide the light source 12, and it is preferable to use an infrared light source to stabilize the light brightness. The function of the light guiding module 14 is to transmit the moving state of the input device 20 to the image sensing module 16; the light guiding module itself has been a practical technology, and can be plastic injection molding, inkjet technology, or imprint technology. Production, the production method is not the focus of this case, so it will not be explained in detail. For example, 稜鏡 is one of the simpler forms of the light guiding module 14. In a more complicated form, the light guide module 14 includes a light guide plate (not shown) for converting a linear light source emitted from the light source 12 into a refractive planar light source, uniformly projecting to the touch surface 141, and touch The input or reflected light received by the control surface 141 is transmitted to the image sensing module 16 to enable the image sensing module 16 to capture optical information about the movement of the input device 20. Preferably, the reflective material 21 can be added to the front end of the input device 20, so that the optical information captured by the image sensing module 16 can be more correct. The input device 20 does not need to apply pressure to the touch surface 141, so it is not absolutely necessary to directly contact the touch surface 141. Similar to the reason for using the term "touch device", the term "touch surface" is used in the present invention, and does not mean that the input device 20 must be in contact with the touch surface 141, but rather that the function is similar to the touch of the prior art. Board, touch screen, etc.
影像感測模組16擷取光學資訊後,可將該資訊轉換成電子訊號,傳送給處理電路30。視光學觸控裝置10的應用場合而定,處理電路30的輸出訊號可作不同的用途,例如,當光學觸控裝置10為筆記型電腦上之觸控板時,處理電路30的輸出訊號可用以控制顯示螢幕40上的游標41移動;當光學觸控裝置10為自動櫃員機上之觸控式螢幕時,可用以控制其他裝置(未示出)進行動作,例如轉帳等。After the image sensing module 16 captures the optical information, the information can be converted into an electronic signal and transmitted to the processing circuit 30. Depending on the application of the optical touch device 10, the output signal of the processing circuit 30 can be used for different purposes. For example, when the optical touch device 10 is a touch panel on a notebook computer, the output signal of the processing circuit 30 can be used. To control the movement of the cursor 41 on the display screen 40; when the optical touch device 10 is a touch screen on the automatic teller machine, it can be used to control other devices (not shown) to perform actions such as transferring funds and the like.
影像感測模組16所擷取的光學資訊為二維資訊;如僅需計算二維平面上的移動,例如單純控制游標41移動時,已很充分。若需根據輸入裝置20的三維移動來提供其他功能,例如在螢幕選單上進行選擇,則可在影像感測模組16中設置兩個以上的感測器,並根據所接收的影像、兩感測器間的相對距離、感測器的焦距等,計算出輸入裝置20的三維移動。詳言之,如第2圖所示,假設左右兩感測器 的中心位置距離為T ,感測器的聚焦距離為f ,影像中包含某物件,且該物件在左方感測器所得二維影像中的x座標是x l ,在右方感測器所得二維影像中的x座標是x r (假設以感測器的中心位置為原點,則x r 在右方感測器中心位置的左方,故為負值),而該物件距離感測器的距離為Z ,則根據相似三角形定理,x l /f =X/Z ,且-x r /f =(T-X )/Z The optical information captured by the image sensing module 16 is two-dimensional information; if only the movement on the two-dimensional plane needs to be calculated, for example, simply controlling the movement of the cursor 41 is sufficient. If other functions are provided according to the three-dimensional movement of the input device 20, for example, on the screen menu, more than two sensors can be disposed in the image sensing module 16, and according to the received image, two senses The relative distance between the detectors, the focal length of the sensor, and the like, the three-dimensional movement of the input device 20 is calculated. In detail, as shown in Fig. 2, it is assumed that the center position distance between the left and right sensors is T , the focus distance of the sensor is f , the image contains an object, and the object is obtained on the left sensor. The x coordinate in the dimensional image is x l , and the x coordinate in the 2D image obtained by the sensor on the right is x r (assuming the center position of the sensor is the origin, then x r is at the center of the right sensor The left side of the position is a negative value), and the distance of the object from the sensor is Z , according to the similar triangle theorem, x l /f = X/Z , and - x r /f =( TX ) /Z
故可求出該物件的三維資訊:X =(T ×x l )/ (x l -x r )Y =(T ×y l )/ (x l -x r )(其中y l 在圖中未示出)Z =f ×[T /(x l -x r )]Therefore, the three-dimensional information of the object can be obtained: X = ( T × x l ) / ( x l - x r ) Y = ( T × y l ) / ( x l - x r ) (where y l is not in the figure Shown) Z = f ×[ T /( x l - x r )]
藉此方式,卽可產生物件的三維資訊。In this way, 卽 can generate three-dimensional information of the object.
當然,以上計算方式僅為可行的作法之一,除以上所述方式外,亦可採用其他方式來計算三維資訊。如何計算三維資訊,並非本案重點,故不予贅述所有的可能作法與細節。重點是,本發明較習知觸控裝置多提供了另一個維度的資訊,使運用性更為廣泛。Of course, the above calculation method is only one of the feasible methods. In addition to the above methods, other methods can be used to calculate the three-dimensional information. How to calculate 3D information is not the focus of this case, so all possible practices and details will not be described. The main point is that the present invention provides a different dimension of information than the conventional touch device, which makes the application more widely.
請參閱第3圖,此為本發明的另一個實施例。本實施例之光學觸控裝置10除包括光源12、導光模組14、影像感測模組16之外,另包括透鏡模組15,以及反饋控制電路17。透鏡模組15中可包含一個或多個透鏡151-152,以協助影像感測模組16更精確地捕捉影像。反饋控制電路17的作用在於調整光源12的亮度。當影像感測模組16感測到的光線太弱,以致感測效果不佳時,反饋控制電路17 即可根據影像感測模組16的狀況,反饋調整光源12的亮度。Please refer to Fig. 3, which is another embodiment of the present invention. The optical touch device 10 of the present embodiment further includes a lens module 15 and a feedback control circuit 17 in addition to the light source 12, the light guide module 14, and the image sensing module 16. One or more lenses 151-152 may be included in the lens module 15 to assist the image sensing module 16 to capture images more accurately. The function of the feedback control circuit 17 is to adjust the brightness of the light source 12. When the light sensed by the image sensing module 16 is too weak, so that the sensing effect is not good, the feedback control circuit 17 The brightness of the light source 12 can be adjusted according to the condition of the image sensing module 16.
在上述第1圖和第3圖中,係將輸入裝置20繪成遠小於觸控表面141,但此非表示輸入裝置20的面積必須小於觸控表面141的面積。第4圖示出本發明的另一個實施例,如圖所示,本實施例中之輸入裝置20(例如為手指),其面積可遮蔽觸控表面141之大部分或全部面積。藉由偵測輸入裝置20表面圖案的移動(例如指紋的移動變化),便可產生二維或三維資訊,以供例如控制游標、選擇選單中之選項等。由於輸入裝置20可遮蔽觸控表面141之大部分面積,因此在本實施例中,不絕對必要設置觸控表面141,亦即該處可以僅為機殼11上的一個開孔。不論是否設置觸控表面141或僅提供開孔,皆可在該位置萃取光學資訊。在某些情況下,提供觸控表面141之作用主要為防止外界塵埃落入機體內部造成污染;便利辨識輸入裝置20之移動,反為次要。在另外某些情況下,觸控表面141本身是一個可以按壓的按鈕之一部份,以提供其他控制功能;此時作為按鈕的功能為主要,便利辨識輸入裝置20之功能,反為次要。In the above-mentioned first and third figures, the input device 20 is drawn to be much smaller than the touch surface 141, but this does not mean that the area of the input device 20 must be smaller than the area of the touch surface 141. FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the input device 20 (eg, a finger) of the present embodiment has an area that shields most or all of the area of the touch surface 141. By detecting the movement of the surface pattern of the input device 20 (e.g., the movement of the fingerprint), two or three dimensional information can be generated for, for example, controlling the cursor, selecting options in the menu, and the like. Since the input device 20 can cover most of the area of the touch surface 141, in the embodiment, it is not absolutely necessary to provide the touch surface 141, that is, it can only be an opening on the casing 11. Optical information can be extracted at this location whether or not the touch surface 141 is provided or only an aperture is provided. In some cases, the function of providing the touch surface 141 is mainly to prevent external dust from falling into the body and causing pollution; facilitating the recognition of the movement of the input device 20 is secondary. In other cases, the touch surface 141 itself is a part of a button that can be pressed to provide other control functions; at this time, as a function of the button, it is convenient to recognize the function of the input device 20, which is a secondary .
在第4圖所示實施例中,為了進一步縮小整體光學觸控裝置的體積,可將導光模組14和透鏡模組15整合成一體。當然,視裝置本身的設計而定,亦可將其分開,或不設置透鏡模組15。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, in order to further reduce the volume of the entire optical touch device, the light guiding module 14 and the lens module 15 may be integrated into one body. Of course, depending on the design of the device itself, it may be separated or the lens module 15 may not be provided.
第4圖之光學觸控裝置例如可應用於較小型的電子裝 置如手機、個人數位助理、攜帶式音樂播放裝置等中;第5圖示出其中一個應用例,可將光學觸控裝置設置在手機之內(未示出),觸控表面141或開孔則例如可設置在手機顯示螢幕的下方、按鈕的上方。The optical touch device of FIG. 4 can be applied to, for example, a smaller electronic device. Such as a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant, a portable music player, etc.; Figure 5 shows one of the application examples, the optical touch device can be disposed in the mobile phone (not shown), the touch surface 141 or the opening For example, it can be set under the display screen of the mobile phone and above the button.
以上已針對較佳實施例來說明本發明,唯以上所述者,僅係為使熟悉本技術者易於了解本發明的內容而已,並非用來限定本發明之權利範圍。對於熟悉本技術者,當可在本發明精神內,立即思及各種等效變化。舉例而言,所示之各元件,可在其間添加不影響其主要功能的其他附加元件;處理電路30雖繪示為光學觸控裝置10之外部元件,亦可整合為內部元件;反饋控制電路17之輸入訊號可自影像感測模組16擷取,亦可自處理電路30擷取,等等。凡此種種,有各種等效變化的可能。故凡依本發明之概念與精神所為之均等變化或修飾,均應包括於本發明之申請專利範圍內。The present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, and the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various equivalent changes can be immediately considered within the spirit of the invention. For example, each component shown may be added with other additional components that do not affect its main function; the processing circuit 30 is illustrated as an external component of the optical touch device 10, and may be integrated into an internal component; a feedback control circuit The input signal of 17 can be taken from the image sensing module 16, or can be retrieved from the processing circuit 30, and the like. All of these have the possibility of various equivalent changes. Equivalent changes or modifications of the concept and spirit of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
