光學指向感知器(Optical Finger Navigation Sensor,簡稱OFN)是光學滑鼠的衍生產品,其原理是由紅外LED發出紅外光,通過光學鏡片折射穿過紅外濾光片(IR Filter)後,照射到手指上,再將反射後之影像經過光學鏡片,傳到感測器成像,並利用內部專用的DSP(數位訊號微處理器)來分析影像之值在不同時間點的差異性,從而判斷移動方向和距離,進行位置確認。 The Optical Finger Navigation Sensor (OFN) is a derivative of the optical mouse. The principle is that the infrared LED emits infrared light, which is refracted by the optical lens through the IR filter and then irradiated to the finger. Then, the reflected image is passed through the optical lens, passed to the sensor for imaging, and the internal dedicated DSP (digital signal microprocessor) is used to analyze the difference of the image values at different time points, thereby judging the moving direction and Distance, location confirmation.

本光學指向感知器1(Optical Finger Navigation Sensor,簡稱OFN)之提示裝置為一個或複數個發光元件2,其係設置在光學指向感知器1的周圍。該發光元件2的發光狀態受使用光學指向感知器1的電子設備操縱控制。一般而言,使用光學指向感知器1的電子設備如掌上型網路行動裝置多採用圖形介面,在圖形介面中提供指標供使用者選擇操作。使用者在光學指向感知器1上輕輕移動手指,即可完成圖形介面中指標的移動操作。在圖形介面中的指標停留在特定之位置,如系統按鍵(如確認或取消)、網路連結、及系統內需要進行指令確認時,發光元件2接收到電子設備內部的指令,開始連續或間斷發光,從而向使用者提供點擊及連續點擊光學指向感知器1之提示。 The presenting device of the optical finger navigation sensor (OFN) is one or a plurality of light-emitting elements 2 disposed around the optical pointing sensor 1. The light-emitting state of the light-emitting element 2 is controlled by the electronic device using the optical pointing sensor 1. In general, electronic devices such as handheld network mobile devices that use optical pointing sensor 1 employ graphical interfaces that provide indicators in the graphical interface for the user to select. The user can move the finger on the optical pointing sensor 1 to complete the movement of the indicator in the graphic interface. When the indicator in the graphical interface stays at a specific location, such as a system button (such as confirmation or cancellation), a network connection, and an instruction confirmation in the system, the light-emitting component 2 receives an instruction inside the electronic device and starts continuous or intermittent. Illuminating, thereby providing the user with a prompt to click and continuously click on the optical pointing sensor 1.
上述發光元件2優選使用藍光或者綠光光源。當然,根據使用者的實際需要使用其它顏色的光源如紅光或者黃光也是可行的。這些發光元件2從使用光學指向感知器1的電子設備內部獲得電力供應,並接受電子設備的工作狀態指示,其電路實現是本領域一般技術人員都能勝任的,在此就不具體說明了。 The above light-emitting element 2 preferably uses a blue or green light source. Of course, it is also possible to use other colors of light such as red or yellow depending on the actual needs of the user. These light-emitting elements 2 obtain power supply from the inside of the electronic device using the optical pointing sensor 1, and accept an indication of the operating state of the electronic device. The circuit implementation is well-suited to those skilled in the art and will not be specifically described herein.
第1圖~第4圖分別顯示了本光學指向感知器之提示裝置的不同實施例。在第一實施例中,發光元件2為圓環形,包圍在圓形的光學指向感知器1的周圍;在第二實施例中,發光元件2有兩個,分別設置在圓形的光學指向感知器1的左右兩側(較佳為5mm距離);在第三實施例中,發光元件2為框形,包圍在方形的光學指向感知器1的周圍;在第四實施例中,發光元件2有兩個,分別設置在方形的光學指向感知器1的左右兩側(較佳為5mm距離)。類似的變形例還有很多,在此就不一一列舉了。 Figures 1 through 4 show different embodiments of the presenting device of the optical pointing sensor, respectively. In the first embodiment, the light-emitting element 2 is annular and surrounds the circumference of the circular optical pointing sensor 1; in the second embodiment, two of the light-emitting elements 2 are respectively disposed in a circular optical orientation. The left and right sides of the sensor 1 (preferably 5 mm distance); in the third embodiment, the light-emitting element 2 is frame-shaped, surrounding the square optical pointing sensor 1; in the fourth embodiment, the light-emitting element There are two, two, respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the square optical pointing sensor 1 (preferably 5 mm distance). There are many similar variants, which are not listed here.
本發明之提示裝置架構在光學指向感知器1上,利用其回送及系統中之位置,在作業系統處理後可以進行之動作,發光元件2提供藍、綠光學指示,提示一般使用者進行下一步動作,或在作業系統進行相關需提示之動作時,提供使用者可進行之下一步動作之提示。 The prompting device of the present invention is constructed on the optical pointing sensor 1 and utilizes the position of the loopback and the position in the system to perform the action after the processing of the operating system. The light-emitting component 2 provides blue and green optical indications, prompting the general user to proceed to the next step. The action, or when the operating system performs the related prompt action, provides a prompt for the next action that the user can perform.
如第5圖所示,該光學指向感知器之提示裝置之提示方法,具體實現步驟如下。該流程從步驟S10開始,在步驟S10中,作業系統根據正在執行之任務發出指令信號。例如使用者在安裝程序的過程中,需使用者對安裝進程進行確認,如選擇系統按鍵確認或取消時,作業系統會發出一指令信號。 As shown in FIG. 5, the prompting method of the prompting device of the optical pointing sensor is as follows. The flow begins in step S10, in which the operating system issues a command signal based on the task being executed. For example, during the process of installing the program, the user needs to confirm the installation process. If the system button is selected to confirm or cancel, the operating system will send a command signal.
步驟S20:該作業系統判斷該指令信號是否需要提示,若需要提示,執行步驟S30;步驟S30:根據該指令信號,該光學指向感知器之提示裝置發出相應之提示光。根據上述指令信號判斷,需就該操作提示使用者。發光元件2發出相應之提示光,如連續的綠光,以提示使用者進行確認。完成步驟S30後,進入步驟S40;在步驟S40中,判斷使用者是否執行動作;若在設定時間內,感測到使用者執行動作,則執行步驟S50;在步驟S50中,該光學指向感知器回報告知位置及執行動作,並回授信息至該作業系統。例如在設定時間內,光學指向感知器1感知使用者進行了點擊動作,則對該點擊位置進行回報告知,並回授信息至作業系統,則該作業系統獲知繼續完成安裝或者取消進程。 Step S20: The operating system determines whether the command signal needs to be prompted. If the prompt is needed, step S30 is performed. Step S30: According to the command signal, the prompting device of the optical pointing sensor sends a corresponding prompt light. According to the above command signal, it is necessary to prompt the user for the operation. The illuminating element 2 emits corresponding prompt light, such as continuous green light, to prompt the user to confirm. After step S30 is completed, the process proceeds to step S40; in step S40, it is determined whether the user performs an action; if the user is sensed to perform the action within the set time, step S50 is performed; in step S50, the optical pointing sensor is performed. The reward informs the location and performs the action, and returns information to the operating system. For example, during the set time, the optical pointing sensor 1 senses that the user has performed a click action, and then reports the click position and returns information to the operating system, and the operating system knows that the installation or cancellation process is continued.
其中,在步驟S20中,該作業系統判斷該指令信號是否需要提示,若不需要提示,則執行步驟S25;步驟S25:該光學指向感知器1之提示裝置不作提示。 In step S20, the operating system determines whether the command signal needs to be prompted. If the prompt is not required, step S25 is performed; and step S25: the prompting device of the optical pointing sensor 1 does not prompt.
在步驟S40中,判斷使用者是否執行動作;若在設定時間內,未感測到使用者執行動作,則執行步驟S45;步驟S45:回報告知該作業系統使用者未執行動作。例如在設定時間內,使用者未執行確認動作,則回報告知該作業系統使用者未進行確認。 In step S40, it is determined whether the user performs an action; if the user does not sense that the action is performed within the set time, step S45 is performed; step S45: the report informs the user of the operating system that the action is not performed. For example, if the user does not perform the confirmation action within the set time, the user is notified that the operation system user has not confirmed.
另外,當電子設備如掌上型網路行動裝置等有系統狀態提示,或接受到外界資訊(如簡訊、推播資訊)時,也可以利用本光學指向感知器之提示裝置向使用者提示。 In addition, when an electronic device such as a palm-type network mobile device has a system status prompt or receives external information (such as a short message or a push information), the electronic pointing device may also be prompted by the prompting device of the optical pointing sensor.
雖然本發明已用較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,本發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作各種之更動與潤飾。因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 While the invention has been described above in terms of the preferred embodiments, the invention is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and the invention may be practiced otherwise without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Retouching. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
