摘要:
Disclosed is a method for identifying a number of interactions with a computer input area defined by at least first and second intersecting sets of detection paths. First, indications of which of the detection paths are affected by the interactions are received. Then, for each of the detection path sets, the set's indications of affected detection paths are parsed to identify up to N extents of adjacent, affected detection paths (N≧2). A controller having logic to implement the method, and a system incorporating a control system that implements the method, are also disclosed.

In one embodiment, a touch detection system and method is achieved having high resolution by forming an integrated array of alternating emitters and detectors. Using integration techniques, the detectors can be made much larger than the emitters while the gaps between the emitters and detectors are maintained relatively small. Thus, high resolution is achieved without dramatically increasing the number of emitter/detector pairs. In one embodiment each array is positioned on an edge of a display such that the emitter of one array is lined up (on axis with) a detector of an opposing display. In one embodiment, the touch detection system and method operates to detect the amplitude of signals arriving from opposing arrays so as to precisely determine the location of a touched position. Off-axis scanning can be employed to increase sensitivity.

A system is disclosed for providing input to a computer, the system comprising an optical input area; a controller device; a diagnostic mode for assigning a status of faulty pathway to interrupted pathways; and a normal function mode for excluding interrupted pathways and determining a pair of minimum and maximum coordinates formed at intersections of a first pair and a second pair of outermost interrupted pathways. A method for providing input to a computer is disclosed, the method comprising providing an optical input area and a controller; selecting the diagnostic mode; assigning a status of faulty pathway to interrupted pathways; selecting the normal function mode; excluding interrupted pathways; determining a pair of minimum and maximum coordinates formed at intersections of a first pair of outermost interrupted pathways and a second pair of outermost interrupted pathways; and reporting the pair of minimum and maximum coordinates to the computer.
