    摘要: Systems and methods for implementing touchscreen displays that utilize a transmitter system to dynamically scan at least one light beam across a surface of interest such that substantially every point in a region above the surface of interest is dynamically scanned by a light beam from two directions, a receiver system to receive and detect the at least one dynamically scanned light beams, and a processor configured to determine locations of contact are provided. The systems and methods may utilize a transmitter system that includes dynamic transmitters, which may be in the form MEMS micromirrors used in conjunction with infrared semiconductor lasers.

    摘要: A system for determining a location of an object on a planar surface includes a time-of-flight sensor having sensing elements that provide a field of view for the time-of-flight sensor. The system also includes a mirror attached to the shaft of a motor for reflecting the field of view of the time-of-flight sensor across the planar surface. The system also includes electrical circuitry configured to receive range images from the time-of-flight sensor as the field of view is swept across the planar surface and process the range images to identify the object in at least one of the range images. The electrical circuitry is also configured to calculate a location of the object on the planar surface relative to the motor based on an angle of the shaft associated with the at least one range image and based on a distance of the object from time-of-flight sensor.

    摘要: A pointing input system includes a sheet-like light beam layer and a detector. The sheet-like light beam layer abuts a display screen and is distributed on a surface of a display screen, and includes plural light beams. The sheet-like light beam layer is generated by at least one light-generating module having a dot light source. The detector is for detecting a light spot composed of plural reflective beam when a physical object is intervened into the sheet-like light beam layer, so that a pointing input operation is performed on a specified position of the display screen corresponding to the light spot. Once the physical object is intervened into the sheet-like light beam layer, the light beams are sheltered by the physical object, so that the light spot with a reflective bright border is resulted from a touching action of the physical object.
