[0036] The tracker provided by the present application is provided with a display screen for displaying the device information of each hardware device in the tracking scanning system, centrally and independently displaying the information required in the scanning process, and sharing the display pressure on the computer device side.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the tracking scanning system is connected to a computer device for controlling the scanning process of the tracking scanning system. In a specific implementation, the scanner and the light pen are connected to a tracker, and the scanner, the light pen, and the tracker are connected to a computer device, and the computer device is used to control the scanning process of the tracking scanning system. This embodiment does not limit the specific connection method. As a feasible embodiment, the tracking scanning system is connected to the computer device via a wired connection. As another feasible embodiment, the tracking scanning system is connected to the computer device via a wireless connection.

[0043] The tracking scanning system provided by the present application includes a tracker provided with a display screen. The display screen on the tracker is used to display the device information of each hardware device in the tracking scanning system, centrally and independently displaying the information required in the scanning process, and sharing the display pressure on the computer device end. For medium and long-distance scanning, there is no need to frequently check the device information of each hardware device at the computer device end. The device information of each hardware device can be viewed in real time on the display screen on the tracker, which provides a good user experience, simplifies the operation process of the tracking scanning system, and improves the operation efficiency.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application discloses a control method for a tracking scanning system, which improves the scanning efficiency of the tracking scanning system.

[0045] See also Figure 2 , a flow chart of a control method of a tracking scanning system according to an exemplary embodiment is shown, as Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0046] S101: Acquire device information of hardware devices in a tracking scanning system; wherein the hardware devices include any one or a combination of a tracker, a scanner, and a light pen, and the tracker is provided with a display screen;

[0047] The execution subject of this embodiment can be a tracking scanning system or a computer device connected to the tracking scanning system, and the computer device is used to control the scanning process of the tracking scanning system. The purpose of this embodiment is to display the device information of the hardware device in the tracking scanning system.

[0048] It is understandable that the hardware devices in the tracking scanning system may include a tracker, a scanner, a light pen, etc. In a specific implementation, the device information of each hardware device in the tracking scanning system may include connection status, IP address, serial number, temperature information, power information, etc. The connection status includes whether the hardware device is connected to the computer device (that is, whether it is online), whether the scanner is within the field of view of the tracker, etc.

[0049] S102: Send the device information to a display screen provided on the tracker, so that the display screen displays the device information of different hardware devices in the tracking scanning system in different display areas.

[0050] In this step, the device information of each hardware device in the tracking scanning system is sent to the display screen set on the tracker, so as to display the device information of each hardware device on the display screen. In a specific implementation, different display areas can be divided for different hardware devices on the display screen, and each display area is used to display the device information of the corresponding hardware device.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the tracking scanning system is connected to a computer device, and the display screen is used to display device information of hardware devices in the tracking scanning system as well as device information of hardware devices in other tracking scanning systems connected to the computer device.

[0052] In a specific implementation, different display areas can be divided for different tracking scanning systems in the display screen. These tracking scanning systems are all connected to the same computer device, and each display area is used to display device information of hardware devices in the corresponding tracking scanning system. The display area corresponding to each tracking scanning system can be further divided into different display sub-areas, and different display sub-areas are used to display device information of different hardware devices in the tracking scanning system.

[0053] Through the above implementation, the device information of the hardware devices in multiple tracking scanning systems connected to the same computer device can be centrally displayed. The user can intuitively view the device information of the hardware devices in multiple tracking scanning systems through the display screen on a single tracker, without having to switch trackers to view the device information of the hardware devices in other tracking scanning systems, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0054] Furthermore, the display screen of this embodiment can also provide an interactive function of control operation, that is, provide the connection, debugging and configuration functions of hardware devices. As a feasible implementation method, the display screen is a touch screen, and the method further includes: receiving a touch control instruction of the control operation through the display screen, and performing the control operation based on the touch control instruction. In a specific implementation, the user can perform a touch operation on the display screen, such as clicking, translating, rotating, zooming, etc. The display screen converts the user's touch operation into a touch control instruction, responds to the touch control instruction to perform the corresponding control operation, and the control operation may include reconnecting the hardware device, setting the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the hardware device, the serial number (Series Number, SN code), etc. For a scanner, the control operation may also include starting scanning, stopping scanning, etc. For example, the user can click the display box corresponding to a hardware device to achieve the reconnection of the hardware device; double-click the display box corresponding to a hardware device to view all the device information of the hardware device; long press the display box corresponding to a hardware device to achieve resetting the IP address or serial number of the hardware device; move the display box corresponding to the hardware device to achieve the change of the display position of the device information of the hardware device.

[0055] As another feasible implementation, it also includes: receiving a voice control instruction of a control operation through the display screen, and executing the control operation based on the voice control instruction. In a specific implementation, the display screen includes a voice input interface, and the user can use voice control to implement the corresponding control operation. The control operation may include reconnecting the hardware device, setting the IP address and serial number of the hardware device, etc. For a scanner, the control operation may also include starting scanning, stopping scanning, etc. It can be seen that by providing the connection, debugging, and configuration functions of the hardware device through the display screen, there is no need to control the hardware device through a computer device, thereby improving the control efficiency of the hardware device.

[0056] The control method of the tracking scanning system provided in the embodiment of the present application sets a display screen on the tracker to display the device information of each hardware device in the tracking scanning system, centrally and independently displays the information required in the scanning process, and shares the display pressure on the computer device. For medium and long-distance scanning, there is no need to frequently check the device information of each hardware device at the computer device end. The device information of each hardware device can be viewed in real time on the display screen on the tracker, which provides a good user experience, simplifies the scanning operation process of the tracking scanning system, and improves the scanning efficiency.

[0057] The embodiment of the present application discloses a control method for a tracking scanning system. Compared with the previous embodiment, this embodiment further explains and optimizes the technical solution. Specifically:

[0058] See also Figure 3 , a flow chart of another control method of a tracking scanning system according to an exemplary embodiment is shown, such as Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0059] S201: Acquire device information of hardware devices in the tracking scanning system; wherein the hardware devices include any one or a combination of a tracker, a scanner, and a light pen, and the tracker is provided with a display screen;

[0060] S202: Determine whether the tracking scanning system is in a scanning state; if not, proceed to S203; if yes, proceed to S204;

[0061] In this embodiment, when the tracking scanning system is in different states, the content displayed on the display screen is slightly different.

[0062] S203: sending the device information to a display screen provided on the tracker, so that the display screen displays the device information of different hardware devices in the tracking scanning system in different display areas;

[0063] In a specific implementation, when the tracking scanning system is in a non-scanning state, the display screen is used to display device information of different hardware devices in the tracking scanning system. Figure 4 As shown, tracker 1, scanner 1, and light pen 1 are hardware devices in tracking scanning system A (the tracking scanning system to which the display screen belongs), tracker 2 and scanner 2 are hardware devices in tracking scanning system B, tracker 3, scanner 3, and light pen 3 are hardware devices in tracking scanning system B, and the displayed device information includes temperature, IP address, SN code, power information, etc.

[0064] S204: Obtain the current scanning screen and the corresponding picture quality, and display the device information, the current scanning screen and the picture quality of the current scanning screen so that the display screen can display the device information of different hardware devices in the tracking scanning system, the current scanning screen and the corresponding picture quality in different display areas.

[0065] In a specific implementation, when the tracking scanning system is in a scanning state, the display screen not only displays the device information of different hardware devices in the tracking scanning system, but also displays the current scanning image and its corresponding image quality. Figure 5 As shown, the device information of the hardware device is displayed on the left side of the display screen, and the current scanning screen and its corresponding screen quality are displayed on the right side of the display screen.

[0066] It can be seen that the control method of the tracking scanning system provided in the embodiment of the present application can directly view the current scanning screen and its corresponding image quality through the display screen on the tracker when the tracking scanning system is in the scanning state, without the need to view it on the computer, thereby further improving the user experience.
