Title: Touch sensing systems
Inventor: LACOSTE LILIAN
IPC: G06F3/042
Filed: 2013-12-23
Abstract: A touch sensing system projecting light defining a touch sheet 256 above a surface and a camera 260 to capture a touch image of light scattered by an object such as a pen intersecting the touch sheet. A signal processor identifies a lateral location of the object 450 which emits a signal such as a light source, and the system also includes two detectors such as photo detectors 502 to detect the signal from the object. A property such as approximate location of the object is determined dependent on the probability of receiving first and second versions of the signal at the detectors. The touch detection is augmented by modelling the signals received at the photo detectors, dependent on the distance and angle of an object, and using this to derive the probability of the observed received signals given the object location determined from the touch sheet. This information may be used, for example, to allocate identities to the object or augment the touch detection signal.
