DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawings.

Please refer to FIG. 1, wherein FIG. 1 is a component diagram of the touch system with handwriting function according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. The touch system with handwriting function comprises a stylus device 10 and a touchpad 20. The touch system with handwriting function in an embodiment of the present disclosure needs to utilize a Human Interface Device (HID) communication protocol. Moreover, the beacon signal emitted by the stylus device 10 needs to meet the conditions allowed by the protocol, such as specific frequency bands, etc.

In detail, the touchpad 20 has the function of general finger touch operation. More particularly, the touchpad 20 may further have handwriting function after receiving the beacon signal emitted by the stylus device 10. The definition of “handwriting” is utilizing the stylus device 10 to operate the touchpad 20. In the present embodiment, the entire surface area of the touchpad 20 may all be operated in a touch mode when the touchpad 20 does not receive the beacon signal. After the touchpad 20 receives the beacon signal with signal strength greater than a threshold and transforms into the handwriting mode correspondingly, the surface of the touchpad 20 is divided into a functional area FA and a writing area which are not overlapping with each other. The “division” does not mean the areas are divided by an actual solid line, but divided according to the different applications of each area. Besides, the “division” is not limited to dividing the above surface into the above two areas. The surface of the touchpad 20 may also be divided into another area, the present disclosure does not limit the divided area of the surface of the touchpad 20. The touchpad 20 has a light emitting layer underneath its light-permeable surface. The light emitting layer has a plurality of light emitting elements. Further, the surface of the light emitting layer has a plurality of patterns I that are light-permeable and not overlapping with each other, wherein the light emitting elements are a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LED) in the present embodiment, and the orthographic projections of the patterns I on the surface of the touchpad 20 are located in the functional area FA and respectively overlap a plurality of predetermined coordinate sets. The present disclosure does not limit the appearance of the coordinate sets and the sizes of the coordinate sets with respect to the patterns I. Each pattern I corresponds to a coordinate set. An area occupied by any pattern may be larger than an area of the corresponding coordinate set or smaller than the corresponding coordinate set. Although FIG. 1 shows that the functional area FA has a plurality of patterns I, the light emitting layer of the touchpad 20 of the first embodiment of the present disclosure may also have only one light emitting element and one pattern I. In this circumstance, there is only one coordinate set. The patterns I can be complex figures directly corresponding to different functions or applications, or simple geometric figures The actual figures of the patterns I are not restricted by bounded functions or apps, the present disclosure does not limit the figures of patterns I. The touchpad 20 receives the beacon signal. A position on the touchpad 20 is identified when the touchpad 20 is touched (the touchpad 20 may identify the touched position by sensing a change in capacitance of a capacitor disposed in the touchpad 20). The operation of the touchpad 20 in the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail in the following description.

Please refer to FIG. 2, wherein FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the operation method of touch system with handwriting function according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Please refer to step S1: sending a beacon signal by the stylus device 10. The stylus device 10 may be provided with a power switch, and the beacon signal is sent when the power switch is turned on.

Please refer to step S2: receiving the beacon signal from the stylus 10 by the touchpad 20.

Please refer to step S3: emitting a first light with a first optical characteristic toward the surface of the touchpad 20 by a light emitting element disposed on a light emitting layer of the touchpad 20 when the signal strength of the beacon signal received by the touchpad 20 is greater than a threshold, wherein the first light penetrates the patterns I. The threshold can be set according to requirements for the touchpad 20 transforming into the handwriting mode as soon as the beacon signal is sent, or for the touchpad 20 transforming into the handwriting mode when the stylus device 10 is within a certain distance from the touchpad 20. Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, wherein FIG. 3 shows that the touchpad 20 does not operate when the signal strength of the beacon signal received by the touchpad 20 is less than the threshold, and FIG. 4 shows that when the signal strength of the beacon signal received by the touchpad 20 is greater than the threshold, the surface of the touchpad 20 is divided into the aforementioned functional area FA and writing area. The light emitting element emits a first light having a first optical characteristic to the pattern I, and the first light travels to the surface of the touchpad 20 through the light-permeable pattern I. The pattern I then may be seen from the outside appearing in the functional area FA locating on the surface of the touchpad 20. As shown in FIG. 4, the dotted line next to the functional area FA in FIG. 4 is used to better understand that the touchpad 20 is divided into the functional area FA and the writing area, the dotted line may be omitted in practice.

Further, when the touchpad 20 transforms into the handwriting mode, a floating operation can be performed. When the signal strength of the beacon signal received by the touchpad 20 is greater than the threshold, especially when a distance between the stylus device 10 and the touchpad 20 is less than a predetermined distance, the touchpad 20 may identify a floating position on its surface with a strongest signal corresponding to the beacon signal and generate a floating coordinate information according to the beacon signal. The floating coordinate information may be used to determine where the floating position is on the touchpad 20. When the floating position falls in the writing area, the touchpad 20 generates and outputs the floating coordinate information. If the touch system with handwriting function in the first embodiment of the present disclosure is connected to an electronic device, such as a laptop, a coordinate on the writing area corresponds to the absolute coordinate on the screen of the laptop, wherein the floating coordinate information is used to control the cursor of the laptop or show the pattern of the absolute coordinate corresponding to the floating coordinate information, the present disclosure is not limited there.

Please refer to step S4: identifying, by the touchpad, a touched position on the surface of the touchpad 2 when the touchpad is touched. In detail, when the touchpad 20 transforms into the handwriting mode and is further touched, the touched position on the surface of the touchpad 20 is identified.

Please refer to FIG. 5 and step S5: when the touched position falls in the coordinate set corresponding to a selected pattern IS, changing the first light emitted to the selected pattern IS corresponding to the coordinate set by the light emitting element into a second light having a second optical characteristic, and generating and outputting a control signal related to the coordinate set by the touchpad 20. When the touched position on the touchpad 20 falls in one of the coordinate sets corresponding to one of the patterns I, the coordinate set is defined as the coordinate set corresponding to the selected pattern IS. Moreover, the touchpad 20 drives the light emitting element to change the first light emitted to the selected pattern IS into the second light having the second optical characteristic, and generates and outputs the control signal related to the coordinate set. The first light and the second light each has different optical characteristic, such as the frequency and intensity of the light, etc. In a condition where the light emitting layer has only one pattern I and one light emitting element and the touchpad 20 has only one coordinate set, when the touched position falls in the coordinate set corresponding to the pattern I, the pattern I is the selected pattern IS. The control signal may comprise the parameter indicating the coordinate set. If the touch system with handwriting function in the first embodiment of the present disclosure connects to an electronic device, the electronic device may identify the control signal and call the function corresponding to the parameter, such as activating an application, etc., wherein the function corresponding to the parameter may be modified through programming, the present disclosure does not limit the function corresponding to the parameter.

The first embodiment of the present disclosure is related to when the touchpad 20 receives the beacon signal emitted from the stylus device 10 and the pattern of the functional area is touched, generating the first light and the second light respectively in the functional area and generating and outputting the control signal by the touchpad 20. In comparison, the present disclosure further provides a second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the touchpad 21 may select one candidate functional area FAC from the plurality of candidate functional areas FAC as a functional area FA according to a switching signal. In addition, when the touchpad 21 receives a beacon signal emitted from the stylus device 10, the touchpad 21 is divided into the functional area FA and a writing area. When a touched position on the surface of the touchpad 21 falls in a coordinate set, the touchpad 21 generates and outputs a control signal related to the coordinate set. The operation method of touch system with handwriting function in the second embodiment of the present disclosure is described below.

However, the present disclosure does not limit the shapes and the number of the coordinate sets, the dotted line may be omitted in practice. Similarly, the dotted lines next to the candidate functional areas FAC are used to better understand the candidate functional areas FAC divided from the touchpad 21 in FIG. 6, the dotted line may be omitted in practice. The touchpad 21 has the function of general finger touch operation and may further have handwriting function after receiving the beacon signal emitted from the stylus device 10. In the condition where the touchpad 21 of the present embodiment does not receive the beacon signal, the entire surface of the touchpad 21 may be operated by touch. Moreover, after the touchpad 21 receives the beacon signal with signal strength greater than a threshold and transforms into the handwriting mode, the touchpad 21 selects one of the candidate functional areas FAC as a functional area FA according to a switching signal and the touchpad 21 is divided into the functional area FA and a writing area. At this time, the writing area contains the remaining candidate functional areas FAC. The “division” does not mean the areas are divided by an actual solid line, but divided according to the different application of each area. Besides, the “division” is not limited to dividing the above surface into the above two areas. The surface of the touchpad 21 may also be divided into another area, the present disclosure does not limit the divided area of the surface of the touchpad 20. The switching signal may be from an electronic device electrically connected to the touchpad 21, or from a storage unit of the printed circuit board disposed in the touchpad 21. The switching signal may also be from a switching component electrically connected to the touchpad 21, the present disclosure does not limit the origin of the switching signal. When the touchpad 21 receives the beacon signal as well as when the touchpad 21 is touched, a touched position on the touchpad 21 is identified. When the touched position falls in a coordinate set, equivalent to when the user presses/touches the selected pattern IS corresponding to the coordinate set, the touchpad 21 generates and outputs a control signal related to the coordinate set. The following description is based on the candidate functional area FAC having the plurality of coordinate sets. However, each of the candidate functional areas FAC of the second embodiment of the present disclosure may also has only one coordinate set.

This step may be selecting a functional area FA from any of the candidate functional areas FAC by default, or functional area FA may also be defined by the user.

Please refer to step S40: when the beacon signal is greater than a threshold, dividing the touchpad 21 into the functional area FA and the writing area. The threshold may be set according to requirements for the touchpad 20 transforming into the handwriting mode as soon as the beacon signal is sent, or for the touchpad 20 transforming into the handwriting mode when the stylus device 10 is within a certain distance from the touchpad 21, wherein after the functional area FA is selected in step S30 and the writing area is divided from the touchpad 21 in step S40, the remaining candidate functional areas FAC are equivalent to the writing area before the functional area FA is reselected.

In addition, after the touchpad 21 transforms into the handwriting mode, a floating operation may be performed. The description of the floating operation has been described in the first embodiment except that the touchpad 21 is different from the touchpad 20, the floating operation is not described repeatedly herein.
