Sensing system and method for obtaining position of pointer thereof
First Claim
1. A sensing system, comprising:
- a sensing area;
a reflective mirror configured for generating a mirror image of a pointer when the pointer approaches the sensing area;
an image sensor configured for sensing the pointer and the mirror image thereof when the pointer approaches the sensing area; and
a processing circuit, when the pointer approaches the sensing area, the processing circuit calculating a coordinate value of the pointer according to the image sensed by the image sensor and a predetermined size of the pointer, wherein the pointer forms an imaginary orthographic projection in the sensing area, the processing circuit regards the imaginary orthographic projection as a round projection, and a radius of the round projection is the predetermined size.

Abstract
In a sensing system and a method for obtaining a position of a pointer, the sensing system includes a sensing area, a reflective mirror, an image sensor and a processing circuit. The reflective mirror is configured for generating a mirror image of a pointer when the pointer approaches the sensing area. The image sensor is configured for sensing the pointer and the mirror image thereof when the pointer approaches the sensing area. When the pointer approaches the sensing area, the processing circuit calculates a coordinate value of the pointer according to an image sensed by the image sensor and a predetermined size of the pointer. The pointer forms an imaginary orthographic projection in the sensing area, the processing circuit regards the imaginary orthographic projection as a round projection, and a radius of the round projection is the predetermined size.
