Description

FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of man-machine interaction, and more particularly, to a touch blackboard based on a nanometer touch film, a touch blackboard frame, a touch all-in-one machine and a combined blackboard.

BACKGROUND

A blackboard in a classroom may be the most frequently used teaching tool by a teacher. The blackboard has long been a single glass board or cement wall which is available for writing. Along with the spread of multimedia teaching in recent years, many schools have their multi-media classrooms, in which the teacher can teach students by means of PowerPoint (PPT). In some well-equipped schools, an electronic whiteboard is even used for teaching or interaction. However, the projection screen fabric for the multimedia teaching is unable to be written, so that it is very inconvenient for the teacher to write something to be shown when using the multimedia teaching equipment, in which case the projection screen fabric tends to be packed up, or the teacher should only write on the blackboard on either side of the projection screen fabric. Moreover, in addition to a projector and a projection screen fabric, a control device for the projector should also be installed in the classroom. These devices in the classroom may be easily damaged by naughty students, resulted in increase in maintenance costs.

At present, in areas of a relatively developed economy, a whiteboard with an infrared touch function is used to replace common blackboards in some schools. Such whiteboard can not only use a whiteboard marker for writing, but also realize a function of multimedia teaching. However, for this whiteboard with the infrared touch function, it has a protruding frame on which a chalk is unable to write, and its touch function is easy to fail during washing, to cause the touch to be insensitive or to fail, with poor experience.

A patent application No. CN201520042697.9, named “WRITABLE TOUCH BLACKBOARD”, filed by the applicant, discloses a blackboard technology, including a glass blackboard adapted to be written, with good light transmission, and an intelligent touch device. The intelligent touch device includes a touch display, a control module, a computing and displaying unit for a power supply module and other modules, and a supporting housing. This kind of interactive intelligent blackboard combines the benefits of convenience in writing of the common blackboards and the benefits of the interactive intelligent all-in-one machine. As a result, it is more convenient and freely for marking by writing in various communications with children or in work, and it can not only be written with chalk, but also show multimedia presentations. In addition, it is light to be moved easily, to increase the arbitrariness of usage scenarios. Because such blackboard is positioned to be used at home or in a meeting-room, a common design is used for the strength and configuration of its supporting housing. The present disclosure is directed to a blackboard with a large size and a heavy weight, in which the strength and configuration of the supporting housing are designed to satisfy the firmness and security when hanging on a wall.

In addition, the applicant has already filed a patent application named “TOUCH INTEGRATED DEVICE”, which disclose a touch integrated device which is intelligent and can be conveniently installed in various applications. The touch integrated device integrates a touch unit, an imaging display unit, a calculation control unit and a corresponding anti-interference unit into an integrated product, which is very suitable to be used in public places or some interacting places, and also office places, or other places for presenting electronic documents and multi-person interactive communications. In some office places, the presenter may raise a new requirement for writing characters on the display screen with a sign pen or chalk directly, to facilitate communication and exchange. However, the housing protective glass of the touch integrated device is a common glass which is very smooth, so it is not suitable for writing presentation.

There is also a blackboard technology on the market at present, which is a device based on a liquid crystal display panel adapted for writing, and provides a writable intelligent paper without ink, to replace traditional blackboards and chalks made of non-green materials, to realize a completely electronic mode. However, for a person accustomed to write with chalk for many years, it is sometimes more accustomed and convenient to chalk. Further, such technology has a disadvantage in that it must erase the whole blackboard when a certain area of the blackboard is required to be erased, and it cannot achieve multimedia playing and writing storage.
