Infrared hyphen laser multi-touch screen device and touch localization method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of multi-point touch screen device electronic equipment, this equipment can be distinguished one or more touch point, and can position this one or more touch point.
Background technology
Touching technique is extensive use of in various electronic equipments, being used for operating electronic equipment realizes various functions. in computer application system, touch input and played the function that alternative keyboard and mouse are imported control, make operating process more directly perceived. usually, touch-screen comprises a transparent touch pad that covers the display screen viewing area, controller and corresponding driving software, touch pad is caught touch event, and touch signal is sent to controller, controller is handled signal, then touch event and touch position data are passed to computing machine, computing machine makes an explanation to touch event and makes feedback to this touch event.
Common touching technique has at present: condenser type, resistance-type, ultrasonic type, echelette formula etc. in capacitive technology, touch screen surface covers the hyaline membrane of one deck energy store charge, when touch event took place, the electric charge of touch point can change, by measuring the position that electric charge can determine that touch event takes place; In the technology of resistance-type, there is the layer of transparent conducting film on the surface of touch pad, the transparent resistance tunic that has level and vertical electrode that also has layer of transparent, when touch event is arranged, this two-layer corresponding position can come in contact, by applying voltage in level and vertical direction, obtain representing the voltage output of touch location, measure this voltage and just can obtain position encoded accordingly; It is right by in level and vertical direction infrared receiving/transmission LED being set that echelette touches technology, form crossed grating, when having touch event to take place, some grating is blocked, cause some LED not receive Infrared, just can determine the occurrence positions of touch event by the conducting situation of measuring the infrared reception LED of horizontal and vertical position. judge the problem of touch event occurrence positions when these technology all can not well solve a plurality of touch events and take place simultaneously at present.
In addition, several multiple point touching technology are also arranged at present: wherein a kind of is condenser type, by increasing the lead-in wire of each little capacitor cell on the touch pad, the capacitance variations of each capacitor cell on the senses touch plate then, realize taking place simultaneously on the touch pad but touch event, and each touch event is carried out location determination at diverse location; Another is a condenser type, be by increasing the number of leads of each strain unit on the touch pad equally, judge the position of touch event by the resistance variations of measuring each strain unit. at present, these two kinds of technology only are applicable to undersized touch-screen, if realize the multiple point touching of giant-screen with these present technology, the manufacture difficulty of touch pad is big, the complexity height of control circuit. except that above two kinds of technology, also has a kind of technology, this technology is used the characteristic of the total internal reflection of materials such as acryl, by the infrared LED light belt is set around touch pad, in infrared light irradiation entrance pressure gram force panel, when having touch event to take place, the total internal reflection characteristic of touch pad is destroyed, the touch location place has infrared ray and is reflected, at this moment, infrared camera as for the touch pad below captures the infrared ray that is reflected, then, the picture that camera captures is sent to computer, computer touches image, determine touch point position. the making of this technology and more complicated is set, need the LED light belt, also to be coated with last layer silica gel uniformly on the touch pad, and, touch event needs certain touching intensity and just can take place, and when the pressure of objects such as finger is not enough, occurs the situation that can't judge or disappear in the touch point easily.
In view of the limitation of above-mentioned prior art, provide a kind of and can support the large scale touch-screen, and can realize that the multiple point touching technology of zero pressure seems very necessary.
Summary of the invention
First purpose of the present invention provides a kind of zero pressure, large-sized multi-point touch screen device.
Second purpose of the present invention provides a kind of method of using above-mentioned zero pressure, large scale multi-point touch screen device to realize while multiple point touching event recognition and location determination that goes up.

A projector, this projector are positioned at the back side of touch-screen and the soft curtain of projection, are used for to the soft curtain of projection projects images;
A computing machine, be used to receive the picture that captures of camera, and the picture that receives is carried out Flame Image Process, judge the position that touch event takes place, and touch event analyzed and handles, then the image after handling by projector projects to the soft curtain of projection.
Infrared camera is caught touch event, and signal passed to computing machine, and computing machine is analyzed and is handled these signals, and the identification touch event is also judged the position of touch event, carry out corresponding operation then, again the image after the operation by projector projects to the soft curtain of projection.
In order to realize above-mentioned second purpose, can adopt following method:
This method comprises: infrared camera receives raw image data, this view data comprises the infrared ray bright spot that produces owing to touch event, this method also comprises the pre-service of the infrared ray bright spot data that touch-screen is produced owing to touch event, keep active data, and analyze, with the target of determining to touch. this method also comprises current data and former image is compared, to determine to touch on the touch-screen variable of target.
The present invention realizes that the judgement of multiple point touching event location mainly comprises following steps:
(1) starts computing machine, projector, an infrared camera and an infrared word laser generator;
(2) projector projects the soft curtain of projection with computer-generated image;
(3) touch event takes place, and infrared camera is taken the raw image data on the touch-screen;
(4) infrared camera is passed to computing machine with the view data that photographs, and computing machine carries out noise reduction to raw image data and regulates contrast and handle, and identifies the touch point;
(5) computing machine is made feedback to the touch event of these touch point correspondences, carries out corresponding action and order, and produces new image;
(6) repeating step (2)-(5) begin new circulation.
Adopt infrared hyphen laser multi-touch screen device of the present invention, and use the identification and the position decision method of multiple point touching incident of the present invention, touch panel device just can be discerned a plurality of touch events simultaneously and judge its position; On this basis, variation according to the touch point coordinate position, can identify the direction of motion and the path of each touch point, and give different touch action thus with different functional definitions, such as: if having one to immobilize in two touch points, another position changes, and can carry out convergent-divergent and rotation to picture thus; Touch point is done the waveform motion and then can be defined as and access certain actions menu or the like. and concrete action definition can be provided with as required.
