Problems solved by technology

Although each person can use an independently predetermined portion of the touch screen while gaming, there will be many overlapping touches when each person operates their touch screen portion, which will cause the game response to be inconsistent with the wishes of one or more players
Although this situation could be improved by some methods, such as having individual dedicated touch screens for each person, it is not an ideal solution considering the cost, space constraints, functions, etc.
In the above and many other examples and applications, the touch algorithm based on single-point touch response cannot complete the correct response to multiple simultaneous touches, thus greatly limiting the application of touch screens in such occasions

Embodiment Construction

[0039] According to the multi-touch positioning method of the present invention, for the touch screen system shown in FIG. 1, when touch events occur at 102 and 103 at the same time, firstly, the first touch event is recorded according to the difference in the occurrence time of touch events 102 and 103 The coordinates of the place of occurrence are (x1, y1), register and save this touch point. When the second touch event is superimposed on the first touch event, the system will detect multiple sets of position coordinates (x1, x2, y1, y2), thereby judging that there is a new touch point added, by comparing the existing registration Point position coordinates (x1, y1), excluding the possibility of other coordinates (x1, y2), (x2, y1), thus determine the coordinates of the newly added touch point as (x2, y2), so that two touches can be distinguished Points 102, 103.

[0040] Similarly, for the touch screen system shown in FIG. 2 , applying the method of the present invention c...

Abstract

The invention provides a multi-point touch positioning method applied in touch screen systems, which contains the following steps: (a). Measure touch signals, judge signal changing situation, calculate touching location coordinates and / or shape and size of touch points; (b). judge signal-point or multi-point touch according to quantity change of location coordinates--if single-point touch, single point operations will be implemented by touch screen system, otherwise, turn to step (c); (c). determine whether there is any new touch points added or left or not by comparing quantity change of location coordinates and / or change of coordinate value. If there are new touch points added, register new touch points information and record location coordinates of new touch points. If there are touch points left, then clear those points information. The invention has wider application range but lower cost, and realizes multi-point touch positioning.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a touch positioning method used in an interactive display system, in particular to a multi-touch positioning method capable of distinguishing multiple touch points for simultaneous operation. Background technique [0002] At present, a touch screen has been widely used in many occasions and fields as an input device replacing or supplementing a common keyboard and mouse. In existing touch screens, the location detection technology for detecting the touch location can be based on different technologies, including infrared, camera, surface acoustic wave, etc. Users usually do not need to undergo special operation training, and only need to press the touch screen at the place marked by the relevant icon to implement a series of complex instructions. [0003] In order to calculate the position where the touch event occurs, the touch screen system generally determines the touch position by measuring the change of the output signal ...
