Abstract
An optical touch apparatus and optical touch method are provided. The optical touch apparatus has a touch area, and includes a light source module, at least one optical sensing module, and a processing unit. The light source module includes a plurality of light emitting elements, wherein each of the plurality of light emitting elements respectively provides a detecting beam to the touch area in different time periods. The processing unit is coupled to the light source module and the at least one optical sensing module. When each of the plurality of light emitting elements provides each of the detection beams, the processing unit controls the at least one optical sensing module to detect a corresponding predetermined region of interest according to the position of each of the detection beams and thereby output a sensing signal.
