Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rail transit windows, and in particular relates to an anisotropic touch screen. Background Art

[0002] As large-size capacitive touch screen technology has become increasingly mature, it can be applied to rail transit windows. However, when the inventor applied it to rail transit windows, the inventor found that there were at least the following problems:

[0003] 1. Since the overall size of the capacitive touch screen used on the rail transit window is much larger than the action area of ​​the capacitive touch screen (the action area is the area where the screen will respond when a person touches it), the non-action area of ​​the capacitive touch screen is attached to the black ink area of ​​the window glass, which results in a large waste of materials.

[0004] 2. If the non-action area of ​​the touch screen is reduced, the adhesion between the capacitive touch screen and the display screen and the surface glass may be NG, causing the product to fall off during the movement of the train, or bubbles to appear on the edge affecting the overall appearance of the product. In addition, the production of ultra-narrow bezel touch screens is difficult, and reducing the non-action area will increase the overall cost of the touch screen.

[0005] 3. Since there are many lines on the large-size touch screens currently used in rail transit, if one of the lines is broken, touch failure will occur in the corresponding area. Therefore, most manufacturers currently choose to convert one line on the large-size touch screen into multiple lines, so that the touch screen can still work normally when there are a few broken lines. However, when the number of broken lines is large, touch failure will still occur. In addition, this touch screen that converts one line to multiple lines has high production process requirements and high cost.

[0006] 4. In actual use, passengers need to touch the screen within the visible area to operate the screen. Because the screen is large, passengers will experience many inconveniences when operating the screen. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides an anisotropic touch screen. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0008] In a first aspect, a heterogeneous touch screen is provided, comprising:

[0009] Touch screen body and touch control panel;

[0010] The touch screen body has a main action area and at least one auxiliary action area, the at least one auxiliary action area is located on the side of the main action area, and the at least one auxiliary action area and the main action area are independent units; and

[0011] The touch control panel is connected to the main action area and at least one auxiliary action area through a connecting line, and is used to control the main action area and at least one auxiliary action area;

[0012] When the main action area receives a first input acting on it and responds to the first input, it is controlled by the touch control panel to perform an action; when at least one auxiliary action area receives a second input acting on it and responds to the second input, the main action area is controlled by the touch control panel to perform an action.

[0013] In a first possible implementation of the first aspect, when the touch screen body is attached to a vehicle window, the main action area is located in a transparent visible area on the vehicle window, and at least one auxiliary action area is located in a black ink area at an edge of the vehicle window.

[0014] In a second possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the number of the at least one auxiliary action area is two, and the two auxiliary action areas are located on the left and right sides of the main action area.

[0015] In a third possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a size of at least one auxiliary action area is smaller than a size of the main action area.

[0016] In a fourth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a resolution of at least one auxiliary action area is greater than or equal to a resolution of the main action area.

[0017] In a fifth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the transmittance of at least one auxiliary action area is the same as the transmittance of the main action area.

[0018] In a sixth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the transmittance of at least one auxiliary action area is different from the transmittance of the main action area.

[0019] In a seventh possible implementation manner of the first aspect, at least one auxiliary action area can be single-point touched, multi-point touched, and line touched.

[0020] In an eighth possible implementation of the first aspect, the main action area and at least one auxiliary action area can simultaneously receive and respond to the first input and the second input acting thereon, and control the main action area to perform an action through the touch control panel.

[0021] In a ninth possible implementation of the first aspect, when at least one auxiliary action area receives a second input acting thereon and responds to the second input, a cursor is displayed on the main action area, and the movement of the cursor is controlled by the touch control panel to control the main action area to perform an action.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] The heterogeneous touch screen of the present invention improves the overall utilization rate of the touch screen by adding an auxiliary action area to the non-action area of ​​the original touch screen body. When it is applied to the existing rail transit window display, the newly added auxiliary action area is covered by the black ink area of ​​the window glass so as not to affect the overall appearance. In addition, the newly added auxiliary action area provides passengers with another way to control the screen, thereby increasing the practicality of the screen.

[0024] At the same time, the newly added auxiliary action area and the main action area of ​​the original touch screen are two independent units, so the newly added auxiliary action area can be used as a redundant method. When the main action area of ​​the original touch screen fails, the touch control of the screen can be achieved through the newly added auxiliary action area, thereby improving the service life of the touch screen. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0026] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an anisotropic touch screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic structural diagram of an anisotropic touch screen 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The anisotropic touch screen 1 comprises a touch screen body 2 and a touch control panel 3, wherein:

[0029] The touch screen body 2 has a main action area 201 and at least one auxiliary action area 202, and the at least one auxiliary action area 202 is located on the side of the main action area 201. In the prior art, the side of the main action area 201 is usually a non-action area. In this embodiment, the overall utilization rate of the touch screen body 2 is improved by adding the auxiliary action area 202 to the non-action area. At the same time, the manufacturing process of the newly added auxiliary action area 202 can adopt the same process as the manufacturing process of the original touch screen (main action area 201), so that the manufacturing process will not increase the difficulty of manufacturing.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the number of at least one auxiliary action area 202 is two, and the two auxiliary action areas 202 are located on the left and right sides of the main action area 201. However, the number of at least one auxiliary action area 202 is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can also choose to set a corresponding number of auxiliary action areas 202 according to actual needs, such as choosing to set one, three or four.

[0031] At least one auxiliary action area 202 and the main action area 201 are independent units, so the newly added auxiliary action area 202 can be used as a redundant method. When the main action area 201 on the original touch screen (touch screen body 2) fails, the touch control of the touch screen body 2 can be achieved through the newly added auxiliary action area 202, thereby improving the service life of the touch screen body 2.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the size of at least one auxiliary action area 202 is smaller than the size of the main action area 201 to avoid affecting the normal display function of the touch screen body 2, and can also achieve the purpose of controlling the large screen with a small screen, but it is not limited to this. In another preferred embodiment, the resolution of at least one auxiliary action area 202 is greater than or equal to the resolution of the main action area 201 to increase the control effect of the small screen (auxiliary action area 202), but it is not limited to this.

[0033] The touch control panel 3 is connected to the main action area 201 and the at least one auxiliary action area 202 via the connection line 4, and the touch control panel 3 is used to control the main action area 201 and the at least one auxiliary action area 202. In this embodiment, there is no special requirement for the selection of the touch control panel 3, and it can refer to the conventional selection of those skilled in the art.

[0034] When the main action area 201 receives the first input acting thereon and responds to the first input, it is controlled by the touch control panel 3 to execute the action, that is, the function of the main action area 201 on the touch screen body 2 (the original touch screen). The action executed can be watching a video or browsing the web, etc.

[0035] When at least one auxiliary action area 202 receives a second input acting thereon and responds to the second input, the main action area 201 is controlled to perform an action through the touch control panel 3, thereby realizing a redundant control mode formed by the newly added auxiliary action area 202 and the main action area 201. Preferably, at least one auxiliary action area 202 can be single-point touch, multi-point touch and line touch, thereby realizing multiple touch modes to control the main action area 201 to perform an action, but it is not limited thereto.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the main action area 201 and at least one auxiliary action area 202 can simultaneously receive and respond to the first input and the second input acting thereon, and control the main action area 201 to perform an action through the touch control panel 3, thereby realizing simultaneous operation of the main action area 201 and at least one auxiliary action area 202, and controlling the main action area 201 to perform an action, but this is not limited to this.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, when at least one auxiliary action area 202 receives a second input acting thereon and responds to the second input, a cursor is displayed on the main action area 201, and the cursor movement is controlled by the touch control panel 3 to control the main action area 201 to perform an action, which can be the selection and use of related software, but is not limited to this.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, when the touch screen body 2 is attached to the vehicle window, the main action area 201 is located in the transparent visible area on the vehicle window, and the at least one auxiliary action area 202 is located in the black ink area at the edge of the vehicle window. At the same time, since the at least one auxiliary action area 202 is located in the black ink area, the transmittance of the at least one auxiliary action area 202 can be the same as or different from the transmittance of the main action area 201, and when they are different, the transmittance of the auxiliary action area 202 is preferably lower than the transmittance of the main action area 201, but it is not limited thereto.

[0039] The heterogeneous touch screen 1 of this embodiment improves the overall utilization rate of the touch screen by adding an auxiliary action area 202 to the non-action area of ​​the original touch screen body, and when it is applied to the existing rail transit window display, the newly added auxiliary action area 202 is covered by the black ink area of ​​the window glass so as not to affect the overall appearance, and the newly added auxiliary action area 202 provides passengers with another way to control the screen, thereby increasing the practicality of the screen.

[0040] At the same time, the newly added auxiliary action area 202 in this embodiment and the main action area 201 of the original touch screen are two independent units, so the newly added auxiliary action area 202 can be used as a redundant method. When the main action area 201 on the touch screen body 2 (original touch screen) fails, the touch control of the screen can be achieved through the newly added auxiliary action area 202, thereby improving the service life of the touch screen body 2.

[0041] The above description shows and describes several preferred embodiments of the present invention, but as mentioned above, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the invention concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field.
