Abstract
The present invention is to provide a method and system for determining true touch points on input touch panel. Two optical sensing module pairs are used to determine two groups of possible touch regions, further with overlap checking with virtual shadow regions to find out potential touch points. Occlusion checking is implemented to acquire true touch points from the potential touch points. The method of the present invention is capable of acquiring true touch points in a fast and reliable way. Furthermore, an interactive input system of the present invention comprises optical sensing modules having their corresponding optical emitters with different wavelengths, and light filters with peak transmission at different wavelengths to avoid from interference effect and over-exposed signal during signal detection by the optical sensing modules.
