Abstract
An optical sense-control system, for receiving a first light and second light, includes a first optical filter, a second optical filter, and an optical detection module. The transmission of the first light having a majority intensity in a first wave-length band is greater than the transmission of the second light having a majority intensity in a second wave-length band in the first optical filter, the first wave-length band is less than the second wave-length band, and the transmission of the second light is greater than the transmission of the first light in the second optical filter. The optical detection module is used for creating a first control signal while the first light emitting through the first optical filter at a first zone is detected and a second control signal is created while the second light emitting through the second optical filter at a second zone is detected.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to an optical sense-control system, and more particularly to an optical sense-control system having a higher identification ratio to lights with different wavebands.


BACKGROUND

A widescreen optical sense-control system, such as an optical touch-panel system, has a wide application such as an electronic whiteboard (E-Board). FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a user using a conventional optical sense-control system. As depicted in FIG. 1, the conventional optical sense-control system 10 mainly includes a touch-control panel 12. While the user 14 inputs information on the touch-control panel 12 via a light pen 16, the inputted information is displayed on the touch-control panel 12.


To make the user 14 can use the optical sense-control system 10 more conveniently, the light pen 16 is designed to be capable of emitting lights with different colors and the optical sense-control system 10 can perform a specific response action based on the color of the light received by the optical sense-control system 10. For example, information of a specific color or of that a specific command has been executed may be displayed on the touch-control panel 12 while a corresponding color of light is detected on the touch-control panel 12.


Different wavelengths have different transmission ratios (or, intensities) to a same optical filter; this can be used for distinguishing the colors of light. FIG. 2 is a schematic chart illustrating the filtering characteristics of the wavelength, transmission ratio and intensity of a blue-light filter, a green-light filter, and a red-light filter which are adopted in the conventional optical sense-control system 10. As depicted in FIG. 2, the blue light B, the green light G, and the red light R are defined with different wavelengths λ and frequencies f, based on the transmission ratios T or intensity I thereof relative to the blue-light filter, the green-light filter, and the red-light filter of the optical sense-control system 10; where the wavelength λ and the frequency f are reciprocal to each other. As depicted in FIG. 2, in the conventional optical sense-control system 10, the blue light B is defined to include the lights with wavelengths within a waveband Bλ; the green light G is defined to include the lights with wavelengths within a waveband Gλ, the red light R is defined to include the lights with wavelengths within a waveband Rλ. Because the blue light B, the green light G, and the red light R are defined in three different specific wavebands in the optical sense-control system 10, a specific response action is accordingly performed while a corresponding light with a specific wavelength, which is emitted from the light pen 16, is detected by the touch-control panel 12. For example, please refer to both FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a control signal corresponding to the blue light B is created by the optical sense-control system 10 while a light L1 with a wavelength located within the waveband Bλ, is detected on the touch-control panel 12.


However, as depicted in FIG. 2, there are overlaps between the definitions of the blue light B, the green light G, and the red light R in the conventional optical sense-control system 10. If a specific light with a wavelength which are located in the overlap waveband of any two of the wavebands Bλ, Gλ, Rλ, the conventional optical sense-control system 10 may result in an error detection of the specific light and accordingly perform an error response action. For example, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 again, if a light L2, having a wavelength located in both the waveband Bλ and the waveband Gλ, is emitted to the touch-control panel 12 from the light pen 16, the optical sense-control system 10 may create a control signal corresponding to both the blue light B and the green light G due to both the blue-light filter (not shown) and the green-light filter detect the light L2, even though the light L2 had a much higher transmission ratio to the blue-light filter than that to the green-light filter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.



FIG. 3 schematically illustrates one of the optical sense-control units adopted in an optical sense-control system of the present embodiment; wherein the optical sense-control system of the present embodiment includes n*m optical sense-control units. As depicted in FIG. 3, the optical sense-control unit 20, arranged in the optical sense-control system of the present embodiment, includes a blue-light filter 22, a green-light filter 24, a red-light filter 26, and an optical sense device array 28. In the optical sense-control unit 20, the lights corresponding to a specific waveband Bλ and capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22, is defined as blue light B; the lights corresponding to a specific waveband Gλ and capable of passing through the green-light filter 24, is defined as green light G; and the light corresponding to a specific waveband Rλ and capable of passing through the red-light filter 26, is defined as red light R; wherein the blue light B, the green light G, and the red light R are emitted from a light pen (not shown), Bλ<Gλ<Rλ, and there is no overlap between the wavebands Bλ, Gλ, and Rλ. In other words, the blue-light filter 22 has a filtering characteristic of having a higher transmission ratio to the blue light B rather than that to the green G light and the red R light; the green-light filter 24 has a filtering characteristic of having a higher transmission ratio to the green light G rather than that to the blue light B and the red light R; the red-light filter 26 has a filtering characteristic of having a higher transmission ratio to the red light R rather than that to the blue light B and the green light G; wherein the intensity of the blue light B is concentrated in the range of waveband Bλ, the intensity of the green light G is concentrated in the range of waveband Gλ, and the intensity of the red light R is concentrated in the range of waveband Rλ, as mentioned above.


Moreover, as depicted in FIG. 3, the optical sense device array 28 includes a blue-light sensor 32, a green-light sensor 34, and a red-light sensor 36, respectively used for detecting the intensity of the lights 30 capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22, the green-light filter 24, and the red-light filter 26. Alternatively, the blue-light sensor 32, the green-light sensor 34, and the red-light sensor 36 can be also three corresponding optical sensing zones. Moreover, a specific control signal S(B, G, R) is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28 according to the intensity of the lights 30 detected by the blue-light sensor 32, the green-light sensor 34, and the red-light sensor 36.


For example, a first control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 0, 0)), corresponding to the blue light B, is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28 if only the blue-light sensor 32 detects the intensity of the lights 30 which is capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22; a second control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(0, 1, 0)), corresponding to the green light G, is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28 if only the green-light sensor 34 detects the intensity of the light 30 which is capable of passing through the green-light filter 24; and a third control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(0, 0, 1)), corresponding to the red light R, is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28 if only the red-light sensor 36 detects the intensity of the light 30 which is capable of passing through the red-light filter 26.


Instead of being composed by a single color light which is emitted from a single light source, it is to be understood that the lights 30 can be composed by multiple color lights which are emitted from multiple light sources. Therefore, a fourth control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 1, 0)), corresponding to the blue light B and the green light G, is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28 if both the blue-light sensor 32 and the green-light sensor 34 detect the intensity of the lights 30 capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22 and the green-light filter 24; a fifth control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(0, 1, 1)), corresponding to the green light G and the red light R, is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28 if both the green-light sensor 34 and the red-light sensor 36 detect the intensity of the lights 30 capable of passing through the green-light filter 24 and the red-light filter 26; a sixth control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 0, 1)), corresponding to the blue light B and the red light R, is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28 if both the blue-light sensor 32 and the red-light sensor 36 detect the intensity of the lights 30 capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22 and the red-light filter 26; and a seventh control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 1, 1)), corresponding to the blue light B, the green light G, and the red light R, is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28 if all the blue-light sensor 32, the green-light sensor 34, and the red-light sensor 36 detect the intensity of the lights 30 capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22, the green-light filter 24, and the red-light filter 26. Moreover, it is to be understood that the lights 30 can be emitted from a single light pen which is capable of emitting a single color light or emitting multiple color lights; or, the lights 30 composed by multiple color lights can be emitted from multiple light pens each emitting a single color light.



FIG. 4A is a schematic chart illustrating the filtering characteristics of the blue-light filter 22, the green-light filter 24, and the red-light filter 26 to the wavelength, transmission ratio and intensity of the lights, according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As depicted in FIG. 4A, the waveband Bλ of the blue light B is defined in the first embodiment as a range of wavelengths BL˜BH which correspond to the highest intensity of the lights capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22; the waveband Gλ of the green light G is defined as a range of GL˜GH which correspond to the highest intensity of the lights capable of passing through the green-light filter 24; the waveband Rλ of the red light R is defined as a range of RL˜RH which correspond to the highest intensity of the lights capable of passing through the red-light filter 26. In the first embodiment, a specific control signal S(B, G, R) is outputted from the optical sense device array 28 while wavelengths within a corresponding waveband is detected. For example, please refer to both the FIG. 3 and FIG. 4B, if the lights 30 are composed by a single light L1 whose waveband is within the range of BL˜BH, the lights 30 can only pass through the blue-light filter 22 so that only the blue-light sensor 32 can detect the intensity of the lights 30, thereby a first control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 0, 0)) corresponding to the blue light B is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28. Please refer to both the FIG. 3 and FIG. 4C, if the lights 30 are composed by two lights L1 and L2, wherein the waveband of the light L1 is within the range of BL˜BH and the waveband of the light L2 is within the range of GL˜GH, the lights 30 can pass through both the blue-light filter 22 and the green-light filter 24 so that the blue-light sensor 32 can detect the intensity of light L1 and the green-light sensor 34 can detect the intensity of light L2, thereby a fourth control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 1, 0)) corresponding to the blue light B and the green light G is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28.



FIG. 5A is a schematic chart illustrating the filtering characteristics of the blue-light filter 22, the green-light filter 24, and the red-light filter 26 to the wavelength, transmission ratio and intensity of the lights, according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As depicted in FIG. 5A, the waveband Gλ of the green light G is defined in the second embodiment between wavelengths X1˜X2, wherein the wavelength X1 corresponds to the 50% of the maximum intensity of the lights capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22, and the wavelength X2 corresponds to the 50% of the maximum intensity of the lights capable of passing through the red-light filter 26. Therefore, as depicted in FIG. 5A, the wavelength X1 corresponds to 50% of the maximum transmission ratio (or full-width-at-half-maximum) of the blue-light filter 22, that is, the wavelength X1 corresponds to the transmission ratio of 35% due to the maximum transmission ratio of the blue-light filter 22 is about 70%; and the wavelength X2 corresponds to 50% of the maximum transmission ratio of the blue-light filter 22, that is, the wavelength X2 corresponds to the transmission ratio of 45% due to the maximum transmission ratio of the red-light filter 26 is about 90%. Accordingly, the blue light B defined in the second embodiment has a waveband Bλ with wavelengths thereof less than X1, and the red light R defined in the second embodiment has a waveband Rλ with wavelengths thereof greater than X2. In the second embodiment, a specific control signal S(B, G, R) is outputted from the optical sense device array 28 while wavelengths within a corresponding waveband is detected. For example, please refer to both the FIG. 3 and FIG. 5B, if the lights 30 are composed by a single light L1 whose wavelength is less than X1, the lights 30 can only pass through the blue-light filter 22 so that only the blue-light sensor 32 can detect the intensity of the lights 30, thereby a first control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 0, 0)) corresponding to the blue light B is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28. Please refer to both the FIG. 3 and FIG. 5C, if the lights 30 are composed by two lights L1 and L2, wherein the wavelength of the light L1 is less than X1 and the wavelength of the light L2 is within the range of X1˜X2, the lights 30 can pass through both the blue-light filter 22 and the green-light filter 24 so that the blue-light sensor 32 can detect the intensity of light L1 and the green-light sensor 34 can detect the intensity of light L2, thereby a fourth control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 1, 0)) corresponding to the blue light B and the green light G is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28.


It is to be understood that the second embodiment needs not be limited to set the wavelength X1 to correspond to 50% of the maximum transmission ratio of the lights capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22, and not be limited to set the wavelength X2 to correspond to 50% of the maximum transmission ratio of the lights capable of passing through the red-light filter 26. The wavelength X1 can be set to correspond to other ratio of the maximum transmission ratio of the blue-light filter 22, such as 30%, and the wavelength X2 can also be set to correspond to other ratio of the maximum transmission ratio of the red-light filter 26, such as 30%. However, the ratio 50% has a better practice than the ratio 30% has.



FIG. 6A is a schematic chart illustrating the filtering characteristics of the blue-light filter 22, the green-light filter 24, and the red-light filter 26 to the wavelength, transmission ratio and intensity of the lights, according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As depicted in FIG. 6A, the waveband Gλ of the green light G defined in the third embodiment is between wavelengths X1˜X2; wherein the wavelength X1 corresponds to a junction where the blue-light filter 22 and the green-light filter 24 have a same transmission ratio to a same light, and the wavelength X2 corresponds to a junction where the green-light filter 24 and the red-light filter 26 have a same transmission ratio to a same light. Accordingly, the blue light B defined in the third embodiment has a waveband Bλ with wavelengths thereof less than X1, and the red light R defined in the third embodiment has a waveband Rλ with wavelengths thereof greater than X2. In the third embodiment, a specific control signal S(B, G, R) is outputted from the optical sense device array 28 while wavelengths within a corresponding waveband is detected. For example, please refer to both the FIG. 3 and FIG. 6B, if the lights 30 are composed by a single light L1 whose wavelength is less than X1, the lights 30 can only pass through the blue-light filter 22 so that only the blue-light sensor 32 can detect the intensity of the lights 30, thereby a first control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 0, 0)) corresponding to the blue light B is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28. Please refer to both the FIG. 3 and FIG. 6C, if the lights 30 are composed by two lights L1 and L2, wherein the wavelength of the light L1 is less than X1 and the wavelength of the light L2 is within the range of X1˜X2, the lights 30 can pass through both the blue-light filter 22 and the green-light filter 24 so that the blue-light sensor 32 can detect the intensity of light L1 and the green-light sensor 34 can detect the intensity of light L2, thereby a fourth control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 1, 0)) corresponding to the blue light B and the green light G is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28.


Based on the characteristics of the present invention, a first control signal is created by the optical sense device array 28 if a first light is detected in a first optical sensing zone of the optical sense device array 28; a second control signal is created by the optical sense device array 28 if a second light is detected in a second optical sensing zone of the optical sense device array 28; accordingly, a nth control signal is created by the optical sense device array 28 if a nth light is detected in a nth optical sensing zone of the optical sense device array 28.


Summarily, the identification rate to distinguish the blue, green, and red lights with different wavebands is accordingly increasing, by the blue-light filter 22, the green-light filter 24, and the red-light filter 26 in the optical sense-control system of the present invention.


Moreover, the definition approach to distinguish the blue light (waveband Bλ), the green light (waveband Gλ), and the red light (waveband Rλ) using the blue-light filter 22, the green-light filter 24, and the red-light filter 26 in the embodiments can be mutually combined. For example, the green light G can be defined as the lights having a waveband Gλ with a range of X1˜X2, wherein the wavelength X1 corresponds to a junction where the blue-light filter 22 and the green-light filter 24 have a same transmission ratio of a same light, and the wavelength X2 corresponds to 50% of the maximum intensity of the lights capable of passing through the red-light filter 26. Accordingly, the blue light G is defined as the lights having wavelengths less than X1 and the red light R is defined as the lights having wavelength greater than X2.


Moreover, the embodiments of the present invention can be also applied to color-mixed lights which have wavelengths crossing more than one wavebands. For example, please refer to both the FIG. 3 and FIG. 4D, if the lights 30 are composed by color-mixed lights L3 whose wavelengths are crossing BH˜GL, the lights 30 can pass through both the blue-light filter 22 and the green-light filter 24 so that both the blue-light sensor 32 and the green-light sensor 34 detect the intensity of the lights 30, thereby a fourth control signal (i.e., S(B, G, R)=S(1, 1, 0)) corresponding to the blue light B and the green light G is created and outputted from the optical sense device array 28.


Moreover, it is to be understood that the embodiments need not be limited to adopt the three blue-light sensor 32, the green-light sensor 34, and the red-light sensor 36 for detecting the intensity of lights capable of passing through the blue-light filter 22, the green-light filter 24, and the red-light filter 26, respectively. The embodiments can also adopt a single optical sensing device for detecting the intensity of the blue light, the green light, and the red light.


Moreover, it is to be understood that the embodiments need not be limited to adopt the blue-light filter 22, the green-light filter 24, and the red-light filter 26 for detecting the intensity of the blue light, the green light, and the red light, respectively. The concept of the embodiments can also be applied to other primary-color filters, such as the RGBC, RGBCY, RGBW filters.


Moreover, it is to be understood that the concept of the embodiments can also be applied to Color Filter on Array (COA) technology, or the RGBC, the RGBCY, and the RGBW touch-control panels. Moreover, the n-color touch panel in the embodiments can have n optical sensing zones, or multiple colors can be detected in a single optical sensing zone.


While the embodiment has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
