1. Technical Field
The disclosure generally relates to a non-touch control system.
2. Related Art
A traditional key system is usually operated by touching which may cause pollutions and breeding of germs. With the development of touch sensing technology, the technology of multi-touch operation has gradually been used in all kind of daily necessities widely. For various touch devices which become popular, it is necessary to enter texts by a non-touch control system in the daily life of the future.
In the current non-touch control system, an infrared sensing array arranged in matrix and formed by an infrared transmitting-receiving module is usually applied to locate the position of an object by interrupting the infrared ray. However, in the current sensing mechanism of the infrared transmitting-receiving module, the infrared transmitting-receiving module continuously determines the corresponding position being touched since the object interrupts the infrared ray, and thereby it often lead to the erroneous operation which continuously triggers the same key. Hence, it is not convenient for users.

The object sensing module comprises a plurality of object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs arranged along a plurality of different directions to define a sensing space. The sensing space comprises a virtual plane. The object sensing module is configured to sense an object which enters the sensing space and determine whether the object touches the virtual plane. The control interface module is electrically connected to the object sensing module and is configured to provide an operational interface, wherein the virtual plane comprises a plurality of sub-regions. The sub-regions are respectively corresponding to a plurality of operational blocks of the operational interface. When the object touches one of the sub-regions, the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs corresponding to the sub-region being touched transmits a first sensing signal to the control interface module after a delay time, such that the control interface module executes an operational function of the operational block corresponding to the sub-region being touched.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary, and are intended to provide further explanation of the disclosure as claimed.
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the disclosure, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.
The exemplary embodiment of the disclosure introduces a non-touch control system that operates and controls a key system without contacting. Therefore, wastages and pollutions of the key system due to contacting can be avoided. In addition, the non-touch control system further provides a sensing mechanism which can prevent the key system from being inadvertently touched, and thus the operational accuracy of the key system can be enhanced. In order to make the disclosure more comprehensible, embodiments are described below as examples to prove that the disclosure can actually be realized. Moreover, elements/components/steps with same reference numerals represent same or similar parts in the drawings and embodiments.
In the present embodiment, the sensing space SP comprises a virtual plane VP. The object sensing module 110 can be configured to sense an object which enters the sensing space SP and determine whether the object touches the virtual plane or not. According to the present embodiment, if the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 112 are the optical sensing element as illustrated in
The control interface module 120 is electrically connected to the object sensing module 110, and is configured to provide an operational interface which can be controlled by users, e.g., a keyboard system. The virtual plane VP comprises a plurality of sub-regions SR which are corresponding to the operation interface of the control interface module 120 respectively. When one of the sub-regions SR is touched by the object, the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair 112 corresponding to the sub-region SR being touched transmits the sensing signal S_SE1 to the control interface module 120, such that the control interface module 120 executes an operational function of the operational block OB corresponding to the sub-region SR being touched.
For instance, the control interface module 120 can provide the operational interface of a number pad with 3 by 3 grid. When the users touch the sub-region SR, which is corresponding to the button “1” of the number pad, on the virtual plane VP by the finger F, the corresponding object transmitting-receiving sensing pair 112 senses the position of the finger F and transmits the corresponding sensing signal S_SE1 to the control interface module 120, such that the control interface module 120 triggers button “1”.
To be specific, the control interface module 120 mainly provides an interface which can display specific literals or images, such that the users can operate the interface according to the literals or images. In more details, the control interface module 120 can provide the operational interface with different functions and forms, e.g., the number pad with 3 by 3 grid, a telephone keypad, an elevator keypad, a password keypad or other forms of keypad interfaces.
Furthermore, the control interface module 120 of the present embodiment can further comprise a flat panel display for displaying a flat image corresponding to the operational interface. The flat panel display can be a self-illuminating display panel, e.g., organic electroluminescent display panels, and the self-illuminating display panel can display the specific literals or images according to the practical applications, e.g., the number pad with 3 by 3 grid, a telephone keypad, an elevator keypad, a password keypad or other forms of keypad interface.
In addition, the control interface module 120 can also comprise a non-self-illuminating display panel (not shown) and a back light module (not shown). The non-self-illuminating display panel can be a liquid crystal display panel. The back light module provides a light source required by the display panel, such that the display panel can display an image corresponding to the operational interface. In the present embodiment, the back light module can be a direct back light module or an edge back light module. Similarly, the display panel can display the specific literals or images according to the practical applications, e.g., the number pad with 3 by 3 grid, a telephone keypads, an elevator keypad, a password keypad or other forms of keypad interfaces.
Moreover, the control interface module 120 can also comprises a light source and a transparent mask (not shown) corresponding to the image of the operational interface. The transparent mask comprises a transparent region and a non-transparent region, and the transparent region comprises an image corresponding to the operational interface. In other words, the transparent mask comprising the image corresponding to the operational interface can display the specific literals or images according to the practical applications, e.g., the number pad with 3 by 3 grid, a telephone keypad, an elevator keypad, a password keypad or other forms of keypad interfaces. The transparent mask can project the illuminated specific literals or images corresponding to the operational interface when the lights of the light source pass through the transparent region.
Furthermore, the control interface module 120 can also comprise a stereo display which is configured to display a stereo image corresponding to the operational interface and appeared in the sensing space SP, such that the users can operate the control interface module 120 by touching the stereo image. The stereo display can be a multi-view stereo display comprising a display panel, a lens film and a plurality of light bars, wherein in which the light bars are lighted in sequence such that a parallax image is displayed on the display panel through the lens film for generating the stereo image with multi-view.
No matter what forms of the foregoing control interface module 120, the users had to operate the control interface module 120 with contacting (i.e., directly press or touch the control interface module) in the past, which may lead the problems of dirt accumulation, bacteria pollution, and wastage of the key system. In the non-touch control system 100 of the present exemplary embodiment, the users can operate the control interface module 120 by touching the virtual plane VP, which means the users do not have to operate the control interface module by directly contacting the control interface module 120.
In the present embodiment, the object sensing module 110 transmits the sensing signal S_SE1 to the control interface module 120 through wired or wireless communication. For instance, the object sensing module 110 can be electrically connected to the control interface module 120 through a universal serial bus (USB) transmitting apparatus, a Bluetooth transmitting apparatus or a radio frequency identification (RFID) transmitting apparatus, such that the object sensing module 110 transmits the sensing signal S_SE1 accordingly. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
However, in the situation of operating the control interface module 120 through the object sensing module 110, since the corresponding area on the virtual plane VP is touched by the user's finger F, the corresponding object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 112 continuously transmit the sensing signal S_SE1 to the control interface module 120 when the virtual plane is touched, and thus the same operational function of the control interface module 120 may be continuously triggered, which is deemed as an erroneous operation. On other hand, in the general sensing mechanism, the object sensing module 110 cannot identify the touch event if two of the sub-regions SR are simultaneously touched by the users inadvertently, and the control interface module 120 may therefore simultaneously trigger the operational functions corresponding to the two sub-regions SR, which is also deemed as an erroneous operation.
Besides, in general sensing mechanism of the object sensing module 110, the signals between the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 112 and the adjacent object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 112 must be adjusted to have different wavelength in order to avoid the signals transmitted from the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 112 being affected by the signals transmitted from the adjacent object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 112. Therefore, the overall object sensing module 110 must be designed to have a wider wavelength modulation range, and it may enhance the difficulties of design.
To further enhance the touch sensing accuracy of the non-touch control system, the disclosure introduces a structure of the object sensing module as shown in
With reference to
To further describe the structure of the object sensing module,
Herein, the equivalent circuit diagram of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x and 212y sequentially arranged along Z-axis are schematically illustrated on the same plane. In the present embodiment, the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x are sequentially arranged along Y-axis and are configured to build a plurality of sensing paths along X-axis in which the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x illustrated in a row represent the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs arranged along Z-axis. The object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212y are sequentially arranged along X-axis and are configured to build the sensing paths along Y-axis in which the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212y illustrated in a column represent the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs arranged along Z-axis.
In details, the delay unit sets 214x and 214y respectively comprise a plurality of delay units DUx and DUy. The delay units DUx and DUy are electrically connected the corresponding object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x and 212y, respectively. As to the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x arranged along the Y-axis, the synchronous processing units 216x output the synchronous signal S_synx to the delay unit sets 214x, such that the delay units DUx sequentially enable the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x according to the synchronous signal S_synx during the preset delay time to define the Y-coordinate of the object in the sensing space.
Similarly, as to the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212y, the synchronous processing units 216y output the synchronous signal S_syny to the delay unit sets 214y, such that the delay units DUy sequentially enable the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x according to the synchronous signal S_syny during the preset delay time to define the X-coordinate of the object in the sensing space.
According to the aforementioned sensing mechanism, the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x and 212y on an identical plane can define the coordinates on the plane in the sensing space, and thereby the coordinates of the sensing space can further be defined by the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x and 121y arranged along Z-axis, such that the object sensing module 210 can determine whether the object touches the virtual plane or not.
To be specific, since the object entering the sensing space is detected after the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x and 212y are enabled, the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x and 212y determine whether the virtual plane is touched or not again, and accordingly transmit the sensing signal to the control interface module after the preset delay time. In other words, the operational function is not triggered even if the finger continuously touches the corresponding sub-region on the virtual plane during the preset delay time.
On the other hand, the object sensing module 210 of the present embodiment determines whether to output the sensing signal to trigger the corresponding operational function by comparing the sensing status between the adjacent object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x and 212y. For instance, with reference to
Additionally, in the present embodiment, the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x and 212y can be further electrically connected to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection element (not shown) correspondingly, such that the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212x and 212y can be prevented from being affected by ESD phenomenon, and thus the circuit stability of the object sensing module 210 can be enhanced, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.
The receiving module 212r comprises a receiving unit RUn and a comparing unit CUn. The receiving unit RUn is configured to receive the object sensing signal S_O and output a touch signal S_T accordingly. The comparing unit CUn is electrically connected to the receiving unit RUn and the receiving units RUn−1 and RUn+1 of the adjacent receiving modules for comparing the touch signal S_Tn outputted from the receiving unit RUn with the touch signals S_Tn−1 and S_Tn+1 outputted from the receiving units RUn−1 and RUn+1, thereby generating and outputting the sensing signal S_SE1. In the present embodiment, the comparing unit CUn can be realized by the circuit structure constituted by the comparing circuit COM, the D flip-flop DFF and the output circuit OC, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.
To be specific, after the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair 212 is enabled by the corresponding delay unit, the receiving unit RUn detects the position of the object in the sensing space according to whether the receiving unit RUn receives the object sensing signal S_O outputted from the corresponding transmitting module 212t. For instance, the receiving unit RUn receives the corresponding object sensing signal S_O if the sensing path between the transmitting module 212t and the receiving module 212r is not interrupted by any object, such that the receiving unit RUn outputs the touch signal S_Tn being disabled. On the contrary, if the sensing path between the transmitting module 212t and the receiving module 212r is interrupted, the receiving unit RUn outputs the touch signal S_Tn being enabled since the receiving unit RUn does not receive the object sensing signal S_O.
The comparing circuit COM of the comparing unit CUn compares the enabled touch signal S_Tn with the touch signals S_Tn−1 and S_Tn+1 respectively outputted from the adjacent receiving unit RUn−1 and RUn+1 when the receiving unit RUn does not receive the object sensing signal S_O which means the sensing path is interrupted by the object. If the comparing circuit COM determines the touch signal S_Tn is enabled, and the touch signal S_Tn−1 and S_Tn+1 are disabled, which means no erroneous operation happens since the adjacent sub-regions on the virtual plane are not simultaneously touched, the comparing circuit COM generates an enabled signal as a clock input of the D flip-flop DFF, so as to control the output circuit OC to output the sensing signal S_SE1 accordingly. On the other hand, if the comparing circuit COM determines the touch signal S_Tn, and the touch signals STn−1 or STn+1 are simultaneously enabled, which means an erroneous operation happens since the adjacent sub-regions on the virtual plane are simultaneously touched, the comparing circuit COM generates a disabled signal as the clock input of the D flip-flop DFF, so as to control the output circuit OC to prohibit the sensing signal S_SE1 from being transmitted according to the output signal outputted from the D flip-flop DFF.
In other words, the comparing unit CUn determines whether the touch signals outputted from the receiving unit RUn and outputted from the adjacent receiving unit RUn−1 or RUn+1 are simultaneously enabled. If the touch signals outputted from the receiving unit RUn and outputted from the adjacent receiving unit RUn−1 or RUn+1 are simultaneously enabled, the comparing unit CUn prohibits the sensing signal S_SE1 from being transmitted to prevent the unexpected operational functions from being triggered.
In the present embodiment, the adjacent receiving units is not limited to the receiving unit RUn−1 and RUn+1 which are disposed on the both side nearest to the receiving unit RUn. The comparing unit CUn can also determine whether the inadvertent touch event is occurred by comparing the touch signals outputted from the receiving unit RUn with the plural adjacent receiving units, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.
In the present embodiment, the delay unit set 214yt is electrically connected to the transmitting module, e.g., the transmitting module 212t, of the corresponding object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs, e.g., the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212, via nodes Yt1 to Yt5, respectively. The delay unit set 214yr is electrically connected to the receiving module, e.g., the receiving module 212r, of the corresponding object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs, e.g., the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212. The delay unit DUy1t and DUy1r are corresponding to one set of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair, the delay unit DUy2t and DUy2r are corresponding to another set of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair, and so on. Specifically, the input terminal of the delay unit DUy1t is coupled to the synchronous processing unit 216y, the output terminals of the delay units DUy1t to DUy5t are respectively electrically connected to the input terminals of the next stage delay units DUy1t to DUy5t, and the clock inputs of each delay units DUy1t to DUy5t are coupled to the synchronous processing unit 216y. Besides, the connection relations of the delay units DUy1r to DUy5r may be referred to as that of the delay units DUy1t to DUy5t and thus will not be further described herein. In other words, the circuit configuration of the delay unit sets 214yt and 214yr are similar to the shift register of serial-in-serial-out.
To be specific, the delay unit sets 214yt and 214yr are controlled by the synchronous processing unit 216y, such that the delay units DUy1t to DUy5t and DUy1r to DUy5r output enable signals S_ENy1 to S_ENy5 in sequence according to the edge trigger characteristic of the D flip-flop. The delay units, e.g., the delay unit DUy1t and DUy1r, corresponding to the same set of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair, e.g., the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair 212, output the corresponding enable signal, e.g., the enable signal S_ENy1, such that the transmitting module and the receiving module of each set of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs can be enabled correspondingly.
According to the circuit configuration of the delay unit sets 214yt and 214yr, the waveform of the enable signals S_ENy1 to S_ENy5 are schematically illustrated in
In the present embodiment, the timing sequence of the enable signals S_ENy1 to S_ENy5 as shown in
In the present embodiment, the delay unit set 214xt is electrically connected to the transmitting module, e.g., the transmitting module 212t, of the corresponding object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs, e.g., the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212, via nodes Xt1 to Xt5, respectively. The delay unit set 214xr is electrically connected to the receiving module, e.g., the receiving module 212r, of the corresponding object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs, e.g., the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212. The delay unit DUx1t and DUx1r are corresponding to one set of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair, the delay unit DUx2t and DUx2r are corresponding to another set of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair, and so on. Specifically, the output terminals of the delay units DUx 1t to DUx5t are sequentially electrically connected to the inverting output terminals of the next stage delay units DUy1t to DUy5t, the inverting output terminal of the last stage delay unit DUx5t is coupled to the input terminal of the first stage delay unit DUx1t, and the clock inputs of each delay units DUx1t to DUx5t are coupled to the synchronous processing unit 216x. Besides, the connection relations of the delay units DUx1r to DUx5r may be referred to as that of the delay units DUx1t to DUx5t and thus will not be further described herein.
To be specific, the delay unit sets 214xt and 214xr are controlled by the synchronous processing unit 216x, such that the delay units DUx1t to DUx5t and DUx1r to DUx5r output enable signals S_ENx1 to S_ENx5 in sequence according to the edge trigger characteristic of the D flip-flop. The delay units, e.g., the delay unit DUx1t and DUx1r, corresponding to the same set of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair, e.g., the object transmitting-receiving sensing pair 212, output the corresponding enable signal, e.g., the enable signal S_ENx1, such that the transmitting module and the receiving module of each sets of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs can be enabled correspondingly.
According to the circuit configuration of the delay unit sets 214xt and 214xr, the waveform of the enable signals S_ENx1 to S_ENx5 are schematically illustrated in
In the present embodiment, the timing sequence of the enable signal S_ENx1 to S_ENx5 as shown in
Based on the above description, the timing signals are modulated based on the position in the sensing space in the present embodiment, such that the signals received by the receiving unit have an enough timing difference between each other, and thus the receiving unit can determine whether the continuous touch events are intended to trigger the corresponding operational function continuously. The timing difference can be set as a delay time, such as the delay time t_d1 or t_d2, according to the time needed for moving a user's finger to the next key, such that the erroneous operation which continuously triggers the same position can be solved since each of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs triggers the transmission of the sensing signal after delaying a preset delay time.
In addition, since the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs are enabled in sequence by the time-multiplexed manner, the object sensing signal with the same wavelength, e.g., the object sensing signal S_O, can be applied to each of the object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs for sensing the object, and it may simplify designs of the object sensing module 210.
Compared with the previous embodiments, the image generating module 930 of the present embodiment further generates an interface image IMG corresponding to the operational interface on the virtual plane VP. The interface image IMG comprises the plural sub-regions SR respectively corresponding to the plural operational blocks OB of the operational interface, such that the corresponding object transmitting-receiving sensing pairs 212 transmit the sensing signal S_SE1 to the control interface module 120 to trigger the corresponding operational function of the control interface module 120 when the specific sub-region SR of the interface image IMG is touched by a user's finger F. Therefore, the user's operational feeling can be enhanced since the user operates the interface image IMG appeared in the sensing space SP.
In the present embodiment, the image generating module 930 comprises a lens film 932 and an image capturing device 934. The image capturing device 934 captures an image corresponding to the operational interface, and generates the flat interface image IMG appeared on the virtual plane VP through the lens film 932. Specifically, the lens film 932 of the present embodiment is disposed in front of the control interface module 120. The lens film 932 is a lens which can transform the flat image into a stereo image such as a Lenticular lens array or a Fresnel lens. For instance, the lens film 932 may be the Fresnel lens if the non-touch control system 900 is applied to the password keypad system, e.g., a keypad of a cash machine. The floating number image of the keypad of the cash machine can only be seen by an operator in a specific viewing angle range when the Fresnel lens is used as the lens film 932, and thus the non-touch control system 900 can prevent the number entered by the operator from being identified by other people. In other words, only the operator can clearly interacts with the operational interface in the non-touch control system 900 with the Fresnel lens of the present embodiment.
In the present embodiment, the lens film 932 and the object sensing module 210 can be integrated with each other. Besides, the lens film 932 of the present embodiment can be constituted by a single lens or plural lens films, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. If the lens film 932 is constituted by the plural lens films, each of the lens films can be set up for corresponding to the images or literals of the operational interface of the control interface module 120. For instance, the lens film 932 may respectively correspond to the number “1” to “9” if the operational interface of the control interface module 120 is the number pad with 3 by 3 grid.
On the other hand, the image capturing device 934 of the present embodiment is disposed between the control interface module 120 and the lens film 932. The image capturing device 934 displays the images or literals corresponding to the operational interface via a display panel of the image capturing device 934 after capturing the images or literals of the operational interface. Herein, a single camera lens or dual camera lens can be applied to the image capturing device 934. In general, the stereo images can be displayed by the image capturing device 934 if the image signals are captured via the dual camera lens image capturing device. The flat images can be displayed by the image capturing device 934 if the image signals are captured via the single camera lens image capturing device. Afterwards, the images displayed on the image capturing device 934 can be imaged as the flat or stereo interface image IMG in the sensing space SP of the object sensing module 210 after the images pass through the lens film 932.
In details, the image capturing device 934 displays the images or literals corresponding to the operational interface, i.e., the two dimensional (2D) image, after capturing the images or literals corresponding to the operational interface if the image capturing device 934 is an image capturing device with the single camera lens. A user can feel the flat interface image IMG is appeared and floated on the virtual plane VP when watching the flat image displayed by the image capturing device 934 through the lens film 932. The image capturing device 934 displays the images or literals corresponding to the operational interface, i.e., the three dimensional (3D) image, after capturing the images or literals corresponding to the operational interface if the image capturing device 934 is an image capturing device with the dual camera lens. A user can feel the stereo interface image IMG is appeared and floated on the virtual plane VP when watching the flat image displayed by the image capturing device 934 through the lens film 932.
Besides, the image capturing device 934 can be a fixed image capturing device or a portable image capturing device. The portable image capturing device for example is a mobile phone with the image capturing function, a laptop, or a tablet computer. For instance, when a user enters an elevator with the portable image capturing device 934, e.g., the mobile phone, the user can capture the operational image of the control interface module, e.g., the elevator buttons, by the image capturing function of the mobile phone. The stereoscopic and floated image of the elevator buttons can be appeared in the sensing space SP of the object sensing module 210 after passing through the lens film 932, such that the non-touch operation can be performed by the user in the sensing space SP of the object sensing module 210.
The image generating module 930 can further comprise a multi-view image device 1000 as shown in
Specifically, the light emitted from the light bars a, b, c and d of the light source module 1004 are respectively provided to users at the positions P1 to P4 for viewing the image on the display panel 1002. Therefore, according to the configuration of the light bars, e.g., the light bars a, b, c and d, an optical film 1006 and a lens group 1008, the users at the position P1 to P4 can feel the stereo image with depth even without wearing glasses. In details, the multi-view image device as shown in
To sum up, the disclosure introduces a non-touch control system. The non-touch control system can provide an operation manner without contacting for operating and controlling a key system, and therefore wastages and pollutions of the key system due to contacting can be avoided. In addition, the non-touch control system further provides a sensing mechanism which can prevent the key system from being inadvertently touched and thus the operational accuracy of the key system can be enhanced.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the disclosure. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the disclosure cover modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
