Abstract:
1. A positioning method for a touch system, the touch system comprising a first image sensor and a second image sensor for acquiring image windows looking across a touch surface and containing images of two pointers operating above the touch surface, the positioning method comprising the steps of: acquiring a first image window with the first image sensor; acquiring a second image window with the second image sensor; identifying numbers of pointer images in the first image window and the second image window; generating a two-dimensional space according to the first image window and the second image window when the first image window and the second image window contain different numbers of pointer images; connecting, on the two-dimensional space, a mapping position of the first image sensor with mapping positions of two outermost edges of the pointer image in the first image window and connecting, on the two-dimensional space, a mapping position of the second image sensor with mapping positions of two outermost edges of the pointer image in the second image window to form a quadrilateral; calculating four first internal bisectors of the quadrilateral; and connecting, on the two-dimensional space, a mapping position of the image sensor acquiring more pointer images with mapping positions of a predetermined point of the pointer images in the image window acquired by the same image sensor to intersect with the first internal bisectors thereby generating first possible positions.
