  • Patent number: 10078396
    Abstract: An optical touch sensing device and a touch signal determining method thereof are provided. The optical touch sensing device includes a light source module, at least one image capturing element and a processing unit. The light source module disposed on a touch surface provides a detecting light to the touch surface. The image capturing element captures an optical touch data along the touch surface based on the detecting light. The processing unit recognizes the optical touch data according to a recognition threshold to obtain multiple touch signals. When a object spacing between the touch signals is no bigger than a palm spacing, the processing unit compares the covering parameters corresponding to the touch signals to select a largest covering parameter among the covering parameters, and determines whether to ignore the touch signal corresponding to the largest covering parameter according to the largest covering parameter and an area threshold.

  • Publication number: 20130328833
    Abstract: A dual-mode input apparatus is disclosed and includes a panel, a processing module, and an image-capturing system capable of capturing images in front of the panel. The image-capturing system can capture a touch input image and a gesture input device by an image-sensing component and a light-modulating component. The processing module processes the sensed images to determine input information. Alternatively, the image-capturing system can include an image-capturing device capable of rotating relative to the panel. The processing module is therefore capable of controlling rotating of the image-capturing device so as to capture a touch input image and a gesture input image selectively for the processing module to determine input information. Therefore, the dual-mode input apparatus of the invention can provide two input modes by use of the same image device, which overcomes the limitation of a conventional single image-capturing system being applied only to a single input architecture.
