本發明係關於一種計算機系統、其操作方法及其電腦程式產品;更具體而言,本發明係關於一種利用光軌跡來達成操作目的之計算機系統、其操作方法及其電腦程式產品。 The present invention relates to a computer system, a method of operating the same, and a computer program product thereof; more particularly, the present invention relates to a computer system that utilizes optical trajectories to achieve operational objectives, methods of operating the same, and computer program products thereof.

隨著電腦及其周邊軟硬體的快速發展,目前各界已普遍地會在會議中使用電腦及投影裝置來進行簡報(例如:播放簡報檔案、多媒體檔案、影片)等等,以使所有的與會人士能充分地了解演講者所陳述之內容。 With the rapid development of computers and their surrounding software and hardware, computers and projection devices have been widely used in conferences for briefings (for example, playing briefing files, multimedia files, movies), etc., so that all participants can participate. People can fully understand what the speaker has said.

當使用電腦及投影裝置來進行簡報時,對於投影在投影區域內的畫面內容,演講者往往會有對之進行操作(例如:換頁、旋轉畫面、播放檔案等等)之需求。傳統上,演講者可透過控制鍵盤或/及滑鼠來達成各種不同的操作;然而,當演講者與鍵盤或/及滑鼠之距離較遠時,在操作上便會有所不便,且容易造成簡報過程之中斷。 When using a computer and a projection device for presentations, the speaker often has a need to manipulate the content of the screen projected in the projection area (for example, changing pages, rotating pictures, playing files, etc.). Traditionally, the speaker can control the keyboard or / and the mouse to achieve a variety of different operations; however, when the speaker is far away from the keyboard or / and the mouse, it is inconvenient and easy to operate. The interruption of the briefing process.

為克服前述問題,有些廠商設計了具有特殊功能(例如:換頁功能)之投影筆,使演講者能透過按壓投影筆上之特殊功能按鈕,來達到操作投影畫面內容之目的。然而,若使用此類投影筆,電腦需要搭配額 外的無線通訊設備,以便接收投影筆因應演講者按壓特殊功能按鈕所發出之訊號。由於具有特殊功能之投影筆要價不斐,且需額外的無線通訊設備,造成使用者在消費成本上之負擔。再者,於任何一個時刻,投影筆只能供一人使用,因此,無法達到多人同時操作畫面內容之情況。 In order to overcome the above problems, some manufacturers have designed a projection pen with special functions (for example, page changing function), so that the speaker can achieve the purpose of operating the projected picture content by pressing the special function button on the projection pen. However, if you use this type of projection pen, your computer needs a matching amount.

以下將透過實施例來解釋本發明所提供之計算機系統、其操作方法及其電腦程式產品。然而,本發明的實施例並非用以限制本發明須在如實施例所述之任何環境、應用或方式方能實施。因此,關於實施例之說明僅為闡釋本發明之目的,而非用以直接限制本發明。須說明者,以下實施例及圖式中,與本發明非直接相關之元件已省略而未繪示。 The computer system, the method of operating the same, and the computer program product thereof provided by the present invention will be explained below through embodiments. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not intended to limit the invention to any environment, application, or manner as described in the embodiments. Therefore, the description of the embodiments is merely illustrative of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that in the following embodiments and drawings, elements that are not directly related to the present invention have been omitted and are not shown.

本發明之第一實施例為一計算機系統1,其架構示意圖係描繪於第1A圖。計算機系統1包含一影像擷取裝置11、一投影裝置13及一處理裝置15,其中處理裝置15電性連接至影像擷取裝置11及投影裝置13。投影裝置於投影時形成之一投影區域10,此投影區域10所呈現之畫面內容則視處理裝置15所執行或/及播放之檔案而定。舉例而言,當一使用者以計算機系統1來進行簡報時,處理裝置15係執行一特定的簡報檔,投影區域10內便顯示此簡報檔之一特定頁面。 A first embodiment of the present invention is a computer system 1, the architecture of which is depicted in Figure 1A. The computer system 1 includes an image capturing device 11 , a projection device 13 , and a processing device 15 . The processing device 15 is electrically connected to the image capturing device 11 and the projection device 13 . The projection device forms a projection area 10 when projected, and the content of the screen presented by the projection area 10 depends on the file executed by the processing device 15 and/or played. For example, when a user performs a briefing with the computer system 1, the processing device 15 executes a specific briefing file, and a specific page of the one of the briefing files is displayed in the projection area 10.

於本實施例中,使用者可採用各種方式來操作一光指標裝置(例如:雷射筆)17,使光指標裝置17所發出之光線於投影區域10上形成各種不同的光軌跡。透過不同的光軌跡,使用者可對投影區域10內所呈現之畫面內容進行不同的操作。 In this embodiment, the user can operate a light index device (for example, a laser pointer) 17 in various manners to cause the light emitted by the light index device 17 to form various light traces on the projection area 10. Through different light trajectories, the user can perform different operations on the content of the screen presented in the projection area 10.

具體而言,影像擷取裝置11會於一時間區間(未繪示)內所界定之複數個時間點(未繪示)之每一個,擷取投影區域10之一影像,藉此取得複數張影像12。影像擷取裝置11可根據其畫面更新率(frames per second)來擷取前述影像12。由於這些影像12係於不同的時間點被擷取,因此這些影像12依據被擷取之時間點具有一順序。 Specifically, the image capturing device 11 captures an image of the projection area 10 for each of a plurality of time points (not shown) defined in a time interval (not shown), thereby obtaining a plurality of images. Image 12. The image capturing device 11 can capture the image 12 according to its frame per second. Since these images 12 are captured at different points in time, these images 12 have an order depending on the time point at which they are captured.

處理裝置15再將這些影像12依據該順序兩兩相減(亦即,將 每一張影像與其前一張影像相減)以獲得複數個光點,這些光點可視為一光軌跡。再者,處理裝置15會計算與這些光點相關之一移動資訊,再依據該移動資訊決定計算機系統1之一操作指令。之後,處理裝置15便能依據此操作指令,使投影區域10內所呈現之畫面內容進行相應之改變。 The processing device 15 then subtracts the images 12 according to the order (ie, will Each image is subtracted from its previous image to obtain a plurality of spots, which can be regarded as a light track. Furthermore, the processing device 15 calculates one of the movement information associated with the light spots, and then determines an operation command of the computer system 1 based on the movement information. Thereafter, the processing device 15 can cause the content of the screen presented in the projection area 10 to be changed accordingly according to the operation instruction.

以下將以不同的範例,說明本實施例如何透過不同的光軌跡來達到不同的操作控制。 In the following, different embodiments will be used to illustrate how the present embodiment achieves different operational controls through different optical trajectories.

請參第1B圖,其係描繪本實施例之第一範例之光軌跡10a,此光軌跡10a係由前述光點所形成。處理裝置15會計算所有光點於一第一方向(例如:水平方向)之一第一累積位移,且會計算所有光點於一第二方向(例如:垂直方向)之一第二累積位移。具體而言,由於處理裝置15先前係將所有影像12依據該順序兩兩相減以獲得光點,因此所獲得的光點間亦具有一順序。處理裝置15便可依據光點間之順序,將光點之座標位置兩兩相減(亦即,將每一光點之座標位置與前一光點之座標位置相減),以獲得第一累積位移及第二累積位移。 Referring to FIG. 1B, a light trace 10a of the first example of the embodiment is depicted, and the light trace 10a is formed by the aforementioned light spot. The processing device 15 calculates a first cumulative displacement of all of the spots in a first direction (eg, a horizontal direction) and calculates a second cumulative displacement of all of the spots in a second direction (eg, a vertical direction). Specifically, since the processing device 15 previously subtracts all the images 12 in accordance with the order to obtain a light spot, the obtained light spots also have an order. The processing device 15 can subtract the coordinate positions of the light points two by two according to the order between the light spots (that is, subtract the coordinate position of each light point from the coordinate position of the previous light spot) to obtain the first Cumulative displacement and second cumulative displacement.

於此範例中,前述的移動資訊便包含第一累積位移及第二累積位移;換言之,處理裝置15係依據此第一累積位移及第二累積位移決定計算機系統1之操作指令。接著,處理裝置15判斷第一累積位移大於一第一門檻值,且第二累積位移小於一第二門檻值。由於計算機系統1係預先設定「第一累積位移大於一第一門檻值且第二累積位移小於一第二門檻值」對應至一個與第一方向相關之操作指令(例如:使投影區域10內之畫面沿著第一方向移動/捲動),因此,在判斷第一累積位移大於一第一門檻值且第二累積位移小於一第二門檻值後,處理裝置15便能決定相應之操作指令,再 以此操作指令操作計算機系統1。 In this example, the foregoing movement information includes a first cumulative displacement and a second cumulative displacement; in other words, the processing device 15 determines an operation instruction of the computer system 1 according to the first cumulative displacement and the second cumulative displacement. Next, the processing device 15 determines that the first cumulative displacement is greater than a first threshold and the second cumulative displacement is less than a second threshold. The computer system 1 presets that "the first cumulative displacement is greater than a first threshold and the second cumulative displacement is less than a second threshold" corresponds to an operational command associated with the first direction (eg, within the projection region 10) The screen moves/rolls in the first direction. Therefore, after determining that the first cumulative displacement is greater than a first threshold and the second cumulative displacement is less than a second threshold, the processing device 15 can determine a corresponding operational command. again The computer system 1 is operated by this operation instruction.

請參第1C圖,其係描繪第二範例之光軌跡10b,此光軌跡10b係由前述光點所形成。第二範例與第一範例雷同,二者之差異僅在於,在第二範例中,第一方向係指垂直方向,而第二方向係指水平方向。計算機系統1可預先設定「第一累積位移大於一第一門檻值且第二累積位移小於一第二門檻值」對應至一個與第一方向(亦即,垂直方向)相關之操作指令(例如:使投影區域10內之畫面沿著垂直方向移動/捲動),因此,在判斷第一累積位移大於一第一門檻值且第二累積位移小於一第二門檻值後,處理裝置15便能決定相應之操作指令,再以此操作指令操作計算機系統1。 Please refer to FIG. 1C, which depicts a light trace 10b of the second example, which is formed by the aforementioned light spots. The second example is identical to the first example, the only difference being that in the second example, the first direction refers to the vertical direction and the second direction refers to the horizontal direction. The computer system 1 may preset that "the first cumulative displacement is greater than a first threshold and the second cumulative displacement is less than a second threshold" corresponds to an operational command associated with the first direction (ie, the vertical direction) (eg, The screen in the projection area 10 is moved/rolled in the vertical direction. Therefore, after determining that the first cumulative displacement is greater than a first threshold and the second cumulative displacement is less than a second threshold, the processing device 15 can determine The computer command system 1 is operated by the corresponding operation command.

第2A圖係描繪本發明之第二實施例。本發明之第二實施例亦為計算機系統1,但於本實施例中,使用者所採用之光指標裝置(例如:雷射筆)27則包含二個發光源。使用者可採用各種方式來操作光指標裝置27,使光指標裝置27所發出之光線於投影區域10上形成二個光軌跡。視此二個光軌跡為何種型態,使用者可對投影區域10內所呈現之畫面內容進行不同的操作。 Figure 2A depicts a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment of the present invention is also a computer system 1. However, in the present embodiment, the light indicator device (for example, a laser pointer) 27 used by the user includes two illumination sources. The user can operate the light indexing device 27 in various ways to cause the light emitted by the light indexing device 27 to form two light tracks on the projection area 10. Depending on the type of the two light tracks, the user can perform different operations on the content of the picture presented in the projected area 10.

具體而言,影像擷取裝置11會於一時間區間(未繪示)內所界定之複數個時間點(未繪示)之每一個,擷取投影區域10之一影像,藉此取得複數張影像12。影像擷取裝置11可根據其畫面更新率來擷取前述影像12。由於這些影像12係於不同的時間點被擷取,因此這些影像12依據被擷取之時間點具有一順序。 Specifically, the image capturing device 11 captures an image of the projection area 10 for each of a plurality of time points (not shown) defined in a time interval (not shown), thereby obtaining a plurality of images. Image 12. The image capturing device 11 can capture the image 12 according to its screen update rate. Since these images 12 are captured at different points in time, these images 12 have an order depending on the time point at which they are captured.

處理裝置15再將這些影像12依據該順序兩兩相減(亦即,將每一張影像與其前一張影像相減)以獲得複數個第一光點及複數個第二光 點,這些第一光點可視為一第一光軌跡,且這些第二光點可視一第二光軌跡。再者,處理裝置15會計算與這些第一光點及第二光點相關之一移動資訊,再依據該移動資訊決定計算機系統1之一操作指令。之後,處理裝置15便能依據此操作指令,使投影區域10內所呈現之畫面內容進行相應之改變。 The processing device 15 further subtracts the images 12 according to the sequence (that is, subtracts each image from the previous image) to obtain a plurality of first spots and a plurality of second lights. Points, these first spots can be regarded as a first light track, and these second spots can be viewed as a second light track. Furthermore, the processing device 15 calculates one of the movement information associated with the first light spot and the second light spot, and then determines an operation command of the computer system 1 based on the movement information. Thereafter, the processing device 15 can cause the content of the screen presented in the projection area 10 to be changed accordingly according to the operation instruction.

以下將以不同的範例,說明本實施例如何透過不同的光軌跡來達到不同的操作控制。 In the following, different embodiments will be used to illustrate how the present embodiment achieves different operational controls through different optical trajectories.

請參第2B圖,其係描繪本實施例之第一範例之第一光軌跡20a及第二光軌跡20b。第一光軌跡20a及第二光軌跡20b上所繪示之箭頭則代表移動之方向。第一光軌跡20a係由前述第一光點所形成,且第二光軌跡20b係由前述第二光點所形成。由於處理裝置15係將所有影像12依據該順序兩兩相減以獲得這些第一光點及這些第二光點,因此這些第一光點間具有一順序,且這些第二光點之間亦具有一順序。 Please refer to FIG. 2B, which depicts the first optical track 20a and the second optical track 20b of the first example of the embodiment. The arrows drawn on the first light track 20a and the second light track 20b represent the direction of movement. The first optical trajectory 20a is formed by the aforementioned first light spot, and the second optical trajectory 20b is formed by the aforementioned second light spot. Since the processing device 15 subtracts all the images 12 according to the order to obtain the first spots and the second spots, the first spots have an order, and the second spots are also Has a sequence.

處理裝置15利用第一個第一光點22a之座標位置以及第一個第二光點22b之座標位置,計算一初始圓心座標位置24。舉例而言,處理裝置15可將第一個第一光點22a之座標位置及第一個第二光點22b之座標位置平均,平均後之座標位置即為初始圓心座標位置24。 The processing device 15 calculates an initial center of the circle coordinate position 24 using the coordinate position of the first first spot 22a and the coordinate position of the first second spot 22b. For example, the processing device 15 may average the coordinate position of the first first spot 22a and the coordinate position of the first second spot 22b, and the averaged coordinate position is the initial centroid coordinate position 24.

處理裝置15會依據影像12間之順序,對各影像12進行以下運作:(a)利用該影像12所對應之第一光點之座標位置及該影像12所對應之第二光點之座標位置,計算該影像之代表光點之座標位置,例如第2B圖所繪示之代表光點25c(舉例而言,處理裝置15可將第一光點之座標位置及第二光點之座標位置平均,以得到代表光點25c),(b)利用初始圓心座標位置24及該影像12之代表光點之座標位置,計算一暫時圓心座標位置(未繪示), 以及(c)利用暫時圓心座標位置及先前所計算出的那些代表光點25a、25b,計算一累積角度。 The processing device 15 performs the following operations on each image 12 according to the order between the images 12: (a) using the coordinate position of the first light spot corresponding to the image 12 and the coordinate position of the second light spot corresponding to the image 12 Calculating the coordinate position of the representative light spot of the image, for example, the representative light spot 25c illustrated in FIG. 2B (for example, the processing device 15 may average the coordinate position of the first light spot and the coordinate position of the second light spot To obtain a representative spot 25c), (b) to calculate a temporary center point position (not shown) by using the initial center point position 24 and the coordinate position of the representative spot of the image 12. And (c) calculating a cumulative angle using the temporal center point coordinates and those previously calculated representative spots 25a, 25b.

於此範例中,前述的移動資訊便為累積角度;換言之,處理裝置15係根據此累積角度決定計算機系統1之操作指令。更具體而言,當處理裝置15判斷此累積角度大於一門檻值時,表示使用者欲以光指標裝置27於投影區域10繪示一圓形。 In this example, the aforementioned movement information is a cumulative angle; in other words, the processing device 15 determines an operation command of the computer system 1 based on the cumulative angle. More specifically, when the processing device 15 determines that the cumulative angle is greater than a threshold, the user desires to draw a circle on the projection area 10 by the light indicator device 27.

計算機系統1係預先設定當使用者於投影區域10繪示一圓形時,會進行一特定的操作指令(例如:旋轉投影區域10內之畫面內容)。因此,當處理裝置15判斷此累積角度大於門檻值時,便會據以決定相應的特定操作指令,再以此操作指令操作計算機系統1。 The computer system 1 presets that when the user draws a circle in the projection area 10, a specific operation command (for example, rotating the screen content in the projection area 10) is performed. Therefore, when the processing device 15 determines that the accumulated angle is greater than the threshold value, the corresponding specific operation command is determined accordingly, and the computer system 1 is operated by the operation command.

請參第2C圖,其係描繪本實施例之第二範例之第一光軌跡24a及第二光軌跡24b。第一光軌跡24a及第二光軌跡24b上所繪示之箭頭則代表移動之方向。第一光軌跡24a係由前述第一光點所形成,且第二光軌跡24b係由前述第二光點所形成。由於處理裝置15係將所有影像12依據該順序兩兩相減以獲得這些第一光點及這些第二光點,因此這些第一光點間具有一順序,且這些第二光點之間亦具有一順序。 Please refer to FIG. 2C, which depicts the first optical trajectory 24a and the second optical trajectory 24b of the second example of the embodiment. The arrows drawn on the first light track 24a and the second light track 24b represent the direction of movement. The first optical trajectory 24a is formed by the aforementioned first light spot, and the second optical trajectory 24b is formed by the aforementioned second light spot. Since the processing device 15 subtracts all the images 12 according to the order to obtain the first spots and the second spots, the first spots have an order, and the second spots are also Has a sequence.

處理裝置15先利用第一個第一光點中26a之座標位置以及第一個第二光點26b之座標位置,計算一圓心座標位置28。處理裝置15再依據影像12間之順序,對各影像12進行以下運作:(a)利用圓心座標位置28及該影像12所對應之該時間點之前之所有該等第一光點,計算一第一累積角度,(b)利用圓心座標位置28及該影像12所對應之該時間點之前之所有該等第二光點,計算一第二累積角度,以及(c)利用該第一累積角度及該第二累 積角度,計算一代表累積角度(舉例而言,將第一累積角度及第二累積角度平均)。 The processing device 15 first calculates a center coordinate position 28 using the coordinate position of the first first spot 26a and the coordinate position of the first second spot 26b. The processing device 15 performs the following operations on each image 12 according to the order between the images 12: (a) calculating a first point by using the center coordinate position 28 and all of the first light spots before the time point corresponding to the image 12. a cumulative angle, (b) calculating a second cumulative angle using the central coordinate position 28 and all of the second light spots before the time point corresponding to the image 12, and (c) utilizing the first cumulative angle and The second tired At the product angle, a representative angle is calculated (for example, the first cumulative angle and the second cumulative angle are averaged).

於此範例中,前述的移動資訊便為此代表累積角度;換言之,處理裝置15係根據此代表累積角度決定計算機系統1之操作指令。更具體而言,當處理裝置15判斷此累積角度大於一門檻值時,表示使用者欲以光指標裝置27於投影區域10繞一圓心繪示一圓形。 In this example, the aforementioned movement information represents a cumulative angle for this purpose; in other words, the processing device 15 determines an operation command of the computer system 1 based on the representative cumulative angle. More specifically, when the processing device 15 determines that the cumulative angle is greater than a threshold, the user desires to draw a circle around the center of the projection area 10 by the light indicator device 27.

計算機系統1係預先設定當使用者於投影區域10繞一圓心繪示一圓形時,會進行一特定的操作指令(例如:旋轉投影區域10內之畫面內容)。因此,當處理裝置15判斷此累積角度大於門檻值時,便會據以決定相應的特定操作指令,再以此操作指令操作計算機系統1。 The computer system 1 pre-sets a specific operation command (for example, rotating the screen content in the projection area 10) when the user draws a circle around the center of the projection area 10. Therefore, when the processing device 15 determines that the accumulated angle is greater than the threshold value, the corresponding specific operation command is determined accordingly, and the computer system 1 is operated by the operation command.

請參第2D及2E圖,其係描繪本實施例之第三範例之第一光軌跡21a及第二光軌跡21b。第一光軌跡21a及第二光軌跡21b上所繪示之箭頭則代表移動之方向。第一光軌跡21a係由前述第一光點所形成,且第二光軌跡21b係由前述第二光點所形成。由於處理裝置15係將所有影像12依據該順序兩兩相減以獲得這些第一光點及這些第二光點,因此這些第一光點間具有一順序,且這些第二光點之間亦具有一順序。 Please refer to FIGS. 2D and 2E, which depict the first optical trajectory 21a and the second optical trajectory 21b of the third example of the embodiment. The arrows drawn on the first light track 21a and the second light track 21b represent the direction of movement. The first optical trajectory 21a is formed by the aforementioned first light spot, and the second optical trajectory 21b is formed by the aforementioned second light spot. Since the processing device 15 subtracts all the images 12 according to the order to obtain the first spots and the second spots, the first spots have an order, and the second spots are also Has a sequence.

處理裝置15依據影像12間之順序,對各影像12進行以下運作:計算該影像12所對應之第一光點之座標位置及該影像12所對應之第二光點之一標位置間之一距離。該等距離依據該順序所呈現之改變狀態即為前述的移動資訊。舉例而言,該等距離之改變狀態可為一遞增狀態如第2D圖所示或一遞減狀態如第2E圖所示。 The processing device 15 performs the following operations on each image 12 according to the order between the images 12: calculating a coordinate position between the first light spot corresponding to the image 12 and one of the second light points corresponding to the image 12 distance. The changed state presented by the equidistance according to the sequence is the aforementioned movement information. For example, the change state of the equidistance may be an increment state as shown in FIG. 2D or a decrement state as shown in FIG. 2E.

計算機系統1係預先設定當該等距離之改變狀態為遞增狀態 時,會進行一第一操作指令(例如:將投影區域10內之顯示畫面放大),而當該等距離之改變狀態為遞減狀態時,會進行一第二操作指令(例如:將投影區域10內之顯示畫面縮小)。因此,在處理裝置15進一步地判斷該等距離依據該順序所呈現之改變狀態後,處理裝置15便能決定相應之操作指令,再以此操作指令操作計算機系統1。 The computer system 1 is preset to change the state of the equal distance to an incremental state. When a first operation instruction is performed (for example, the display screen in the projection area 10 is enlarged), and when the changed state of the equal distance is a decreasing state, a second operation instruction is performed (for example, the projection area 10 is to be performed). The display screen inside is reduced). Therefore, after the processing device 15 further determines the changed state of the equidistance according to the sequence, the processing device 15 can determine the corresponding operational command, and then operate the computer system 1 with the operational command.

於本實施例之第四範例中,用來決定計算機系統1之操作指令的移動資訊,則是該等第一光點及該等第二光點於該時間區間內之閃爍次數(例如:一次、二次或多次)。 In the fourth example of the embodiment, the movement information used to determine the operation command of the computer system 1 is the number of times the first light spot and the second light spot are flashed in the time interval (for example: once , two or more times).

茲舉例說明處理裝置15判斷光點閃爍一次之技術。當處理裝置15判斷到該等第一光點在投影區域10之一子區域內持續地存在超過一預設時間長度,且該等第一光點於此預設時間長度內之移動距離不超出以該等第一光點之平均座標值作為圓心之一預設門檻範圍時,代表該等第一光點閃爍一次。處理裝置15亦可採用相同的技術來判斷該等第二光點是否閃爍一次。 The technique by which the processing device 15 judges that the spot is blinking once is exemplified. When the processing device 15 determines that the first light spots are continuously present in a sub-area of the projection area 10 for more than a predetermined length of time, and the moving distance of the first light points within the preset time length does not exceed When the average coordinate value of the first light spots is used as one of the center threshold thresholds, the first light spots are flashed once. The processing device 15 can also use the same technique to determine whether the second spots are blinking once.

茲再舉例說明處理裝置15判斷光點閃爍二次之技術。處理裝置15先以前段所述之技術判斷該等第一光點閃爍一次。接著,處理裝置15判斷該等第一光點於投影區域10上消失達到一時間門檻值後,再次地判斷該等第一光點閃爍一次。透過前述方式,處理裝置15便會判斷該等第一光點實際上累積地閃爍了二次。處理裝置15亦可採用相同的技術來判斷該等第二光點是否閃爍二次。 Further, the technique of the processing device 15 for judging the spot flashing twice will be exemplified. The processing device 15 first determines that the first light spots are blinking once in the technique described in the previous paragraph. Next, the processing device 15 determines that the first light spots disappear on the projection area 10 to reach a time threshold, and then determines that the first light spots are blinking once. In the foregoing manner, the processing device 15 determines that the first spots actually flash cumulatively twice. The processing device 15 can also use the same technique to determine whether the second spots are blinking twice.

計算機系統1係預先設定當該等第一光點及該等第二光點於該時間區間內閃爍一次、二次或多次時,分別對應至哪些操作指令(例如: 進行功能的切換)。因此,處理裝置15後續便可依據該等第一光點及該等第二光點閃爍之次數,決定相應之操作指令,再以此操作指令操作計算機系統1。 The computer system 1 presets which operation commands are respectively corresponding to when the first light spot and the second light spots flash once, twice or more times in the time interval (for example: Switch the function). Therefore, the processing device 15 can subsequently determine the corresponding operation command according to the number of times the first light spot and the second light spot flash, and then operate the computer system 1 by using the operation command.

首先,此方法執行步驟S301,於一時間區間內所界定之複數個時間點之每一個,由該影像擷取裝置擷取一投影區域之一影像。由於該等時間點具有一順序,因此該等影像依據該等時間點亦具有同樣的順序。之後,於步驟S303,由該處理裝置將該等影像依據該順序兩兩相減,以獲得複數個光點。於步驟S305,由該處理裝置計算與該等光點相關之一移動資訊。於後續之步驟S307,由該處理裝置依據該移動資訊決定一操作指令。 First, the method performs step S301, in which one image of a projection area is captured by the image capturing device for each of the plurality of time points defined in a time interval. Since the time points have an order, the images also have the same order according to the time points. Then, in step S303, the images are subtracted by the processing device according to the order to obtain a plurality of spots. In step S305, the processing device calculates one of the movement information related to the light spots. In the subsequent step S307, the processing device determines an operation command according to the movement information.

舉例而言,前述步驟S305可由該處理裝置計算該等光點於一第一方向之一第一累積位移,且計算該等光點於一第二方向之一第二累積位移。前述移動資訊包含該第一累積位移及該第二累積位移。此外,步驟S307可由該處理裝置判斷該第一累積位移大於一第一門檻值,判斷該第二累積位移小於一第二門檻值,再依據前述二個判斷結果,決定該操作指令為與一第一方向相關之指令。 For example, the foregoing step S305 may be performed by the processing device to calculate a first cumulative displacement of the light spots in one of the first directions, and calculate a second cumulative displacement of the light spots in one of the second directions. The aforementioned movement information includes the first cumulative displacement and the second cumulative displacement. In addition, the step S307 may be determined by the processing device that the first cumulative displacement is greater than a first threshold, and the second cumulative displacement is determined to be less than a second threshold, and then the operation command is determined according to the two determination results.

The computer system includes an image capture device and a processing device.

首先,此方法執行步驟S401,於一時間區間內所界定之複數個時間點之每一個,由該影像擷取裝置擷取一投影區域之一影像。由於該等時間點具有一順序,因此該等影像依據該等時間點亦具有同樣的順序。之後,於步驟S403,由該處理裝置將該等影像依據該順序兩兩相減,以獲得複數個第一光點及複數個第二光點。於步驟S405,由該處理裝置計算與該等第一光點及該等第二光點相關之一移動資訊。於步驟S407,由該處理裝置依據該移動資訊決定一操作指令。 First, the method performs step S401. Each of the plurality of time points defined in a time interval captures an image of a projection area by the image capturing device. Since the time points have an order, the images also have the same order according to the time points. Then, in step S403, the image is subtracted by the processing device according to the sequence to obtain a plurality of first spots and a plurality of second spots. In step S405, the processing device calculates one of the movement information associated with the first light spot and the second light spots. In step S407, the processing device determines an operation command according to the movement information.

舉例而言,前述步驟S405可先由該處理裝置利用該等第一光點中之第一個之一座標位置以及該等第二光點中之第一個之一座標位置,計算一初始圓心座標位置,再由該處理裝置依據該順序,針對各該影像進行以下步驟:(a)由該處理裝置利用該影像所對應之該第一光點之一座標位置及該影像所對應之該第二光點之一座標位置,計算該影像之一代表光點之一座標位置,(b)利用該初始圓心座標位置及該影像之該代表光點之該座標位置,計算一暫時圓心座標位置,以及(c)利用該暫時圓心座標位置及該等代表光點,計算一累積角度,其中該移動資訊為該累積角度。前述步驟S407則可由該處理裝置根據該累積角度決定該操作指令。 For example, the foregoing step S405 may first calculate an initial center by the processing device using a coordinate position of the first one of the first light points and a coordinate position of the first one of the second light points. At the coordinate position, the processing device performs the following steps for each of the images according to the sequence: (a) the processing device uses a coordinate position of the first light spot corresponding to the image and the image corresponding to the image One coordinate position of the two light spots, one of the images is calculated to represent a coordinate position of the light spot, and (b) a temporary center coordinate position is calculated by using the initial center coordinate position and the coordinate position of the representative light spot of the image, And (c) calculating a cumulative angle using the temporary centroid coordinate position and the representative light spots, wherein the movement information is the cumulative angle. The foregoing step S407 can be determined by the processing device according to the accumulated angle.

再舉例而言,前述步驟S405可先由該處理裝置利用該等第一光點中之第一個之一座標位置以及該等第二光點中之第一個之一座標位置,計算一圓心座標位置,再由該處理裝置依據該順序,針對各該影像進 行以下步驟:(a)由該處理裝置利用該圓心座標位置及該影像所對應之該時間點之前之所有該等第一光點,計算一第一累積角度,(b)由該處理裝置利用該圓心座標位置及該影像所對應之該時間點之前之所有該等第二光點,計算一第二累積角度,以及(c)由該處理裝置利用該第一累積角度及該第二累積角度,計算一代表累積角度。前述步驟S407則可由該處理裝置根據該代表累積角度決定該操作指令。 For example, the foregoing step S405 may first calculate, by the processing device, a center of a coordinate position of the first one of the first light points and a coordinate position of the first one of the second light points. The coordinate position, and then the processing device according to the sequence, for each of the images Performing the following steps: (a) calculating, by the processing device, a first cumulative angle by using the central coordinate position and all of the first light spots before the time point corresponding to the image, and (b) utilizing by the processing device Calculating a second cumulative angle by the center coordinate position and all of the second light spots before the time point corresponding to the image, and (c) utilizing the first cumulative angle and the second cumulative angle by the processing device Calculate a representative cumulative angle.

再舉例而言,前述步驟S405可由該處理裝置依據該順序,針對各該影像進行以下步驟:由該處理裝置計算該影像所對應之該第一光點之一座標位置及該影像所對應之該第二光點之一座標位置間之一距離。步驟S405可再由該處理裝置判斷該等距離屬於一遞增狀態或一遞減狀態,其中該移動資訊為該等距離處於該遞增狀態或該遞減狀態。前述步驟S407則可由該處理裝置根據該遞增狀態或該遞減狀態決定該操作指令。 For example, in the foregoing step S405, the processing device may perform the following steps for each of the images according to the sequence: the processing device calculates a coordinate position of the first light spot corresponding to the image and the image corresponding to the image One of the distances between the coordinates of one of the second spots. Step S405 may further determine, by the processing device, that the equidistance belongs to an increment state or a decrement state, wherein the movement information is that the equidistance is in the increment state or the decrement state. The foregoing step S407 can be determined by the processing device according to the increment state or the decrement state.

再舉例而言,前述步驟S405可採用前述第二實施例所描述之技術來判斷該等第一光點及該等第二光點閃爍之次數,透過此種方式,步驟S405計算所得之該移動資訊可為該等第一光點於該時間區間內閃爍一次及該等第二光點於該時間區間內閃爍一次。前述步驟S407則可由該處理裝置根據步驟S405之計算結果,決定該操作指令。再舉例而言,前述步驟S405計算所得之該移動資訊可為該等第一光點於該時間區間內閃爍兩次及該等第二光點於該時間區間內閃爍兩次。前述步驟S407則可由該處理裝置根據步驟S405之計算結果,決定該操作指令。 For example, the foregoing step S405 can use the techniques described in the foregoing second embodiment to determine the number of times the first light spot and the second light spot are blinked. In this manner, the mobile generated in step S405 is calculated. The information may be that the first spot of light flashes once within the time interval and the second spot of light flashes once within the time interval. The foregoing step S407 can be determined by the processing device according to the calculation result of step S405. For example, the movement information calculated in the foregoing step S405 may be that the first light spots flash twice in the time interval and the second light spots flash twice in the time interval. The foregoing step S407 can be determined by the processing device according to the calculation result of step S405.

除了前述之步驟外,第四實施例亦能執行第二實施例之所有運作及功能。所屬技術領域具有通常知識者可直接瞭解第四實施例如何基 於上述第二實施例以執行此等操作及功能,故不贅述。 In addition to the foregoing steps, the fourth embodiment can perform all of the operations and functions of the second embodiment. Those skilled in the art can directly understand how the fourth embodiment is based. The above second embodiment is used to perform such operations and functions, and thus will not be described again.

再者,第三及第四實施例所描述之方法可由一電腦程式產品加以實現。當一計算機系統載入該電腦程式產品後,該計算機系統執行該電腦程式產品所包含之複數個程式指令後,即可完成第三及第四實施例所描述之方法。前述之電腦程式產品可為能被於網路上傳輸之檔案,亦可被儲存於電腦可讀取記錄媒體中,例如唯讀記憶體(read only memory;ROM)、快閃記憶體、軟碟、硬碟、光碟、隨身碟、磁帶、可由網路存取之資料庫或熟習此項技藝者所習知且具有相同功能之任何其它儲存媒體中。 Furthermore, the methods described in the third and fourth embodiments can be implemented by a computer program product. After a computer system loads the computer program product, the computer system executes the plurality of program instructions included in the computer program product, and then the methods described in the third and fourth embodiments are completed. The aforementioned computer program product can be a file that can be transmitted over the network, or can be stored in a computer readable recording medium, such as a read only memory (ROM), a flash memory, a floppy disk, A hard disk, a compact disc, a flash drive, a magnetic tape, a database accessible by the Internet, or any other storage medium known to those skilled in the art and having the same function.

由前述各實施例可知,本發明係由一影像擷取裝置於各個不同的時間點分別擷取一投影區域內之一影像。因此,當使用者以一光指標裝置(例如:雷射筆)指向該投影區域時,該影像擷取裝置所擷取之該等影像便會包含該光指標裝置所投射之光點。該處理裝置藉由將該等影像依序兩兩相減(亦即,將每一張影像與前一張影像相減),便能獲得複數個光點。該等光點可視為該光指標裝置於該投影區域內之一光軌跡。該處理裝置再計算與該等光點相關之一移動資訊(例如:移動的距離、方向、方式等),之後便可依據該移動資訊決定該計算機系統之一操作指令(例如:對投影區域內之畫面內容進行換頁、旋轉等等)。此外,當有多個光指標裝置指向該投影區域時,透過前述之運作機制,亦能判斷出多個光軌跡,達到多人控制投影區域內的畫面內容的目的。 It can be seen from the foregoing embodiments that the image capturing device captures one image in a projection area at different time points. Therefore, when the user points to the projection area by a light indicator device (for example, a laser pointer), the images captured by the image capture device may include the light spot projected by the light indicator device. The processing device can obtain a plurality of spots by subtracting the images sequentially (i.e., subtracting each image from the previous image). The light spots can be regarded as one of the light trajectories of the light index device in the projection area. The processing device further calculates one of the movement information (eg, distance, direction, mode, etc.) associated with the light spots, and then determines an operation instruction of the computer system according to the movement information (eg, in the projection area) The content of the screen is changed, rotated, etc.). In addition, when a plurality of light indicator devices are directed to the projection area, a plurality of light trajectories can be determined through the foregoing operation mechanism, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the screen content in the projection area by multiple people.
