影像处理器中读取控制面板的按钮开关信号的方法及其装置Method and device for reading button switch signal of control panel in image processor

本发明属于家用电器设计技术领域，尤其涉及一种利用按钮开关信号设定影像处理器控制的方法及其装置。The invention belongs to the technical field of household appliance design, and in particular relates to a method and a device for setting the control of an image processor by using a button switch signal.

随着信息产品的日益普及，网际网络的盛行，使得昔日专业人士、公司行号使用的影像处理器，诸如扫描器(手台式或馈纸式)、传真机、影印机、数字相机等，或同时具备扫描、传真、影印的多功能影像处理器，逐渐成为一般使用者或家庭不可缺的电子信息产品，而影像处理器的主要用途，在于将扫描物的影像在扫描所产生的数字信号影像信息，配合于电脑与相关软件作储存、修改、或配合于到表机作影印，或加入传真机作传真的，不论是那一种影像处理器，当被扫描物的影像在扫描后产生数字影像信息，影像处理器即依据使用者所设定的处理方式，对数字信号影像信息进行处理。With the increasing popularity of information products and the prevalence of the Internet, the image processors used by professionals and companies in the past, such as scanners (hand-held or paper-fed), fax machines, photocopiers, digital cameras, etc., or A multifunctional image processor capable of scanning, faxing, and photocopying has gradually become an indispensable electronic information product for ordinary users or families. The main purpose of the image processor is to convert the image of the scanned object into the digital signal image generated by scanning Information, cooperate with computer and related software for storage, modification, or cooperate with watch machine for photocopying, or add fax machine for fax, regardless of the type of image processor, when the image of the scanned object is scanned to generate digital For image information, the image processor processes the digital signal image information according to the processing method set by the user.

一般而言，影像处理器信息进行处理的方式上大致分为两种：Generally speaking, image processor information can be roughly divided into two types:

第一种是使用者通过个人电脑及软件，在电脑画面上进行各种设定，使影像处理器对被扫描物的影像进行扫描程序及信息处理；但，使用者必须先对扫描物的面积大小，被扫描物影像浓淡处理的设定，被扫描物的比例放大或缩小值的设定，扫描DPI(DOT PER INCH)值(每英寸点数)的设定等，以输入精确的设定值。The first is that the user performs various settings on the computer screen through a personal computer and software, so that the image processor performs scanning procedures and information processing on the image of the scanned object; however, the user must first determine the area of the scanned object. Size, setting of the image shade processing of the scanned object, setting of the scaling value of the scanned object, setting of the scanning DPI (DOT PER INCH) value (dots per inch), etc., to input accurate setting values .

第二种是使用者通过影像处理器上的控制面板预设的按钮开关，藉由开关的输入信号方式进行各种设定，使影像处理器对被扫描物的影像进行扫描程序及信息处理。此种方式为目前的典型方式，藉由使用者按下控制面板的按钮开关，产生OPEN(开)或CLOSE(关)的信号，再由电线传送此信号至影像扫描器的处理单元，以决定影像处理器作何种功能或动作，但，作为这些设定的开关按钮设于控制面板上，在生产过程中不易组装，且生产厂商必须配合于这些开关按钮设定出适当的设定流程与相关的硬件设备及软件，这使得生产成本大幅提高，对于使用者而言，欲使用此项功能，也必须研读厂商所提供的使用手册，更导致使用上的不方便。The second is that the user uses the preset button switch on the control panel on the image processor, and performs various settings through the input signal mode of the switch, so that the image processor performs scanning procedures and information processing on the image of the scanned object. This method is a typical method at present. The user presses the button switch on the control panel to generate an OPEN (open) or CLOSE (close) signal, and then transmits this signal to the processing unit of the image scanner through the wire to determine What function or action does the image processor perform, but the switch buttons for these settings are set on the control panel, which is not easy to assemble during the production process, and the manufacturer must cooperate with these switch buttons to set the appropriate setting process and The related hardware equipment and software greatly increase the production cost. For users who want to use this function, they must also study the user manual provided by the manufacturer, which leads to inconvenience in use.

本发明的目的在于提出一种由扫描元件和开关所组成的装置，在被扫描物在扫描入影像处理器之前，将设于控制面板上的按钮开关所设定出的影像，先行扫描入影像处理器内，经由其内部的处理单元判定影像中按钮开关位置的不同，决定需执行的控制命令，再进行被扫描物的扫描动作或影像处理所构成的影像处理器中读取控制面板的按钮开关信号的方法，它不但使用方便，而且提高精度，从而解决了现有技术所存在的问题。The object of the present invention is to propose a device consisting of a scanning element and a switch. Before the scanned object is scanned into the image processor, the image set by the button switch on the control panel is scanned into the image first.

现在结合上述各附图来进一步说明本发明的较佳具体实施例，如图1所示，它为本发明应用于平台式扫描器或影印机的实施例图；该影像处理器10包括有：Now further illustrate preferred specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with above-mentioned each accompanying drawing, as shown in Figure 1, it is the embodiment figure that the present invention is applied to flatbed scanner or photocopier; Thisimage processor 10 comprises:

一扫描元件11，它是用以对影像进行扫描，它可为如：电耦合装置(CHARGE-COUPLED DEVICE；CCD)或触式影像感应器(CONTACT IMAGESENSOR)。Ascanning element 11, which is used to scan images, can be, for example, a charge-coupling device (CHARGE-COUPLED DEVICE; CCD) or a touch image sensor (CONTACT IMAGESENSOR).

至少一个按钮开关12(如图3所示)，包含有推板121与遮断板122，该推板121是设于控制面板13所设凹轨131处，可由使用者推动设定，该遮断板122则延伸至上述扫描元件11的上方，如图2所示，为使遮断板122的影像容易被扫描元件11所读取，该遮断板122与控制面板13是施以对比色彩的颜色，例如：遮断板122为黑色，则控制面板13为白色，以利读取影像。At least one button switch 12 (as shown in Figure 3 ) includes apush plate 121 and ablocking plate 122. The pushingplate 121 is located at the recessedrail 131 of thecontrol panel 13 and can be pushed and set by the user. Theblocking plate 122 extends to the top of the above-mentionedscanning element 11, as shown in FIG. : Theshielding plate 122 is black, and thecontrol panel 13 is white to facilitate image reading.

如图4、图5所示，分别显示相对按钮开关位置的影像信息图；该二图式的按钮开关12是以下视图作示意表示，该按钮开关12的推板121切换在凹轨131的左侧时，即表示遮断板122遮蔽于扫描元件11的左侧边，假定遮断板122为黑色，控制面板13为白色，则扫描元件为所读取的影像信息如图4所示，其X轴方向表示扫描元件11读入的影像信息位置，Y轴表示扫描元件11读入影像信息的明亮程度。在遮断板122的影像信息(如标号A)为暗，在控制面板13的影像信息(如标号B)为亮。同理，该按钮开关12的推板121切换在凹轨131的右侧时，即表示遮断板122遮蔽于扫描元件11的右侧边，扫描元件11所读取的影像信息如图5所示，在遮断板122的影像信息(如标号C)为亮，在控制面板13的影像信息(如标号D)为暗。而扫描元件11将上述的影像信息传送给处理单元(图中未示)，该处理单元主要是负责对输入的影像信息作运算，或将处理好的影像信息作输出，及对电子或机械元件(如马达、印表机等)作控制(与公知的相同，非本发明的重点)。故而，该处理元件将依据扫描元件11所输入的按钮开关12的影像变化，来决定影像处理器10的控制方式。As shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the image information diagrams of the position of the relative button switch are respectively displayed; When it is on the side, it means that theshielding plate 122 is covered on the left side of thescanning element 11. Assuming that theshielding plate 122 is black and thecontrol panel 13 is white, the image information read by the scanning element is as shown in FIG. 4, and its X-axis The direction indicates the position of the image information read by thescanning element 11 , and the Y axis indicates the brightness of the image information read by thescanning element 11 . The image information on the blocking board 122 (such as symbol A) is dark, and the image information on the control panel 13 (such as symbol B) is bright. Similarly, when thepush plate 121 of thebutton switch 12 is switched on the right side of theconcave rail 131, it means that theblocking plate 122 is covered by the right side of thescanning element 11, and the image information read by thescanning element 11 is shown in FIG. 5 , the image information on the blocking board 122 (such as the symbol C) is bright, and the image information on the control panel 13 (such as the symbol D) is dark. Thescanning element 11 transmits the above-mentioned image information to a processing unit (not shown in the figure), and the processing unit is mainly responsible for computing the input image information, or outputting the processed image information, and processing electronic or mechanical components. (as motor, printer etc.) do control (same as known, non-emphasis of the present invention). Therefore, the processing unit determines the control mode of theimage processor 10 according to the image change of thebutton switch 12 input by thescanning unit 11 .

如图6所示，它为本发明应用于平台式扫描器或影印机的另一实施例；该图像处理器10可在置放被扫描物的玻璃视窗14的X、Y轴方向各设一按钮开关15、16，当使用者只扫描被扫描物所涵盖的区域时，可将X轴及Y轴按钮开关15、16移至与被扫描物切齐的边缘，而影像处理器10扫描的方向如图所示箭头方向。当开始扫描时，扫描元件11将先通过X轴按钮开关15的下方，并将X轴按钮开关15所设定的影像信息传送给处理单元，该处理单元即依据此影像信息而决定被扫描物的宽度，当扫描元件11继续进行扫描而通过Y轴按钮开关16的下方，同样的该处理元件也依据此影像信息而决定被扫描物的长度，而完成被扫描物的扫描。故而扫描元件11可仅扫描X、Y轴按钮开关15、16所设定的扫描范围，而不需常规扫描整个玻璃视窗。As shown in Figure 6, it is another embodiment that the present invention is applied to a flatbed scanner or photocopier;Button switches 15, 16, when the user only scans the area covered by the scanned object, the X-axis and Y-axis button switches 15, 16 can be moved to the edge of the scanned object, and theimage processor 10 scans The direction is shown in the arrow direction. When scanning starts, thescanning element 11 will first pass under theX-axis button switch 15, and transmit the image information set by theX-axis button switch 15 to the processing unit, and the processing unit determines the object to be scanned according to the image information. When thescanning element 11 continues to scan and passes under the Y-axis button switch 16, the same processing element also determines the length of the object to be scanned according to the image information, and completes the scanning of the object to be scanned. Therefore, thescanning element 11 can only scan the scanning range set by the X-axis and Y-axis button switches 15, 16, instead of conventionally scanning the entire glass window.

如图7所示，它为本发明应用于馈纸式扫描器或传真机的实施例图，在本实施例的影像处理器20中，该按钮开关21是设于扫描元件22上方的控制面板23上，也可同时设置多个按钮开关(与前实施例同)，被扫描物由上方的进入孔24进入后(其扫描方向如图9所示箭头)，在未进入按钮开关21与扫描元件22间时，如图8所示，该扫描元件22将按钮开关21所设定的影像信息传送至处理元件，该处理元件即依据此影像决定控制的方式，当被扫描物通过按钮开关21与扫描元件22间时，即依据按钮开关21所设定的值，进行扫描彩色传真或黑白传真，如图9所示。As shown in FIG. 7 , it is an embodiment diagram of the present invention applied to a paper-fed scanner or facsimile machine. In theimage processor 20 of this embodiment, thebutton switch 21 is a control panel located above thescanning element 22 23, a plurality of button switches (same as the previous embodiment) can also be set at the same time, after the object to be scanned enters from theentrance hole 24 above (the scanning direction is shown by the arrow in Figure 9), when thebutton switch 21 does not enter and scan When between thecomponents 22, as shown in FIG. 8, thescanning component 22 transmits the image information set by thebutton switch 21 to the processing component, and the processing component determines the control mode according to the image. When the scanned object passes thebutton switch 21 When it is between thescanning element 22 , it scans color faxes or black and white faxes according to the value set by thebutton switch 21 , as shown in FIG. 9 .

以上已将本发明作一详细说明，但以上所说的，仅为本发明的一较佳实施而已，当然不能限定本发明实施的范围。即凡依本发明权利要求所作的变化与修饰等，均应仍属本发明的专利权利要求书涵盖的范围。The present invention has been described in detail above, but what has been said above is only a preferred implementation of the present invention, and certainly cannot limit the implementation scope of the present invention.
