Abstract

A button control system for medical touch screen and method thereof comprises a central control module, a touch signal input module, a lock time control module, a button lock module, a button unlock module and a cleanse display module, wherein the central control module determines the signal inputted by the touch signal input module, and selects to control the button lock module or the button unlock module thereby locking or unlocking a touch button; furthermore, the lock time control module is configured to set up the lock time for the touch button so as to preset the lock time of the touch button as cleansing the touch screen by the user, and after pressing down the cleanse touch button on the touch screen, it allows to control to lock or unlock other touch buttons and also to effectively prevent the occurrence of the situation where the screen button is erroneously touched as performing the cleanse process.

Claims

1. A button control system for medical touch screen used to control touch buttons on a touch screen and a user can perform a cleanse process by means of pressing down the cleanse touch button on the touch screen wherein the button control system for medical touch screen comprises:

a touch signal input module, which inputs the signal generated by pressing down the cleanse touch button on the touch screen to the button control system for medical touch screen;

a central control module, which is interfaced with the touch signal input module, said central control module determining the signal inputted by the touch signal input module and selecting to lock or unlock the touch button;

a lock time control module, which is interfaced with the central control module for setting the lock time of the touch button;

a button lock module, which is interfaced with the central control module wherein the button lock module locks the touch button when the central control module determines locking of the touch button;

a button unlock module, which is interfaced with the central control module wherein the button unlock module unlocks the locked touch button when the central control module determines unlocking of the touch button; and

a cleanse display module, which is interfaced with the central control module and used to indicate that the touch screen is performing a cleanse process.

2. The button control system for medical touch screen according to claim 1, wherein the central control module is further coupled to a power switch module in which the central control module controls the power switch module to perform the power switch control of the touch screen when the user operates the touch button on the touch screen.

3. The button control system for medical touch screen according to claim 1, wherein the central control module is further coupled to a volume adjustment module in which the central control module controls the volume adjustment module to perform the volume-up control or volume-down control of the touch screen when the user operates the touch button on the touch screen.

4. The button control system for medical touch screen according to claim 1, wherein the central control module is further coupled to a brightness adjustment module in which the central control module controls the brightness adjustment module to perform the brightness-up control or brightness-down control of the touch screen when the user operates the touch button on the touch screen.

5. The button control system for medical touch screen according to claim 1, wherein the central control module is further coupled to a screen switch module in which the central control module controls the screen switch module to perform the screen switch control of the touch screen when the user operates the touch button on the touch screen.

6. A button control method for medical touch screen comprises the following steps:

(1) inputting a button lock signal generated through pressing down the cleanse touch button by the touch signal input module to the button control system for medical touch screen as the user pressing down the cleanse touch button on the touch screen;

(2) determining by the central control module the signal inputted from the touch signal input module, and if the inputted signal is a button lock signal, then controlling the button lock module to perform locking on the other touch buttons;

(3) after completion of the cleanse process by the user, under the situation of touch button locking, continuing to press down the cleanse touch button on the touch screen thereby generating a button unlock signal and inputting the signal to the central control module; and

(4) determining by the central control module the inputted signal from the touch signal input module, and if the inputted signal is a button unlock signal, then controlling the button unlock module to unlock the locked touch button.

7. The button control method for medical touch screen according to claim 6, wherein that the user can preset the lock time of the touch button by means of the lock time control module.

8. The button control method for medical touch screen according to claim 7, under the situation of touch button locking, when the preset lock time of the touch button ends, automatically determining whether the user inputs a button lock signal;

if yes, then continuing to lock the touch button;

otherwise, unlocking the locked touch button.
