  • Patent number: 9372572
    Abstract: A locating method for an optical touch system determines a center position of an indication object on a touch area of the optical touch system by an optical location means. The locating method determines a light-emitting position of a light emitter of the indication object on the touch area by receiving indication light emitted from the light emitter by two optical sensors. The locating method determines a touch position and a touch direction according to a relative relationship between the center position and the light-emitting position; therein, the touch position can be regarded as a touch point on the touch area by the indication object, and the touch direction can be regarded as a rotation angle of the indication object relative to the touch area.

  • Patent number: 9280284
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer readable medium for polygon gesture detection and interaction, adapted to an electronic apparatus having an input unit, are provided. In the method, a gesture moving from a starting point to an end point is received by using the input unit and sampling points thereof are collected. A trajectory of the sampling points is analyzed to obtain a center of the gesture. A surrounding area of the center is divided into equal label areas. A distance and an angle relative to an origin of each sampling point in the label areas are calculated and used as a vertical axis and a horizontal axis to draw a waveform diagram. A shape formed by the trajectory is determined according to characteristics of the waveform diagram and a specific function corresponding to the shape is performed.

  • Patent number: 8890847
    Abstract: An optical touch system and a touch point calculation method thereof are provided. The optical touch system includes a first lens, a second lens and a screen. The first and second lenses are disposed on the same side of the screen and face to the other side of the screen. In the method, images of a touch object above the screen are captured and used to calculate a first and a second touch signal of the touch object touching the screen before and after a preset time. Then, it is determined whether a width difference of the first and second touch signals exceeds a predetermined threshold. If yes, a third touch signal corresponding to the first touch signal relative to the second touch signal is calculated. Finally, positions of the first touch signal and the third touch signal are taken as locations of two touch points on the screen.
