Abstract

A background image updating method is adapted to a touch screen including a first and a second image modules. A first and a second images are captured by the first and the second image modules as a first and a second background images, respectively. (a) Whether an absolute value of a brightness difference between a third image captured by the first image module and the first background image is greater than a predetermine value is compared. (b) If the result of the step(a) is yes, whether an absolute value of a brightness difference between a fourth image captured by the second image module and the second background image is greater than another predetermine value is compared. (c) If the result of the step(b) is yes, a fifth and a sixth images are captured by the first and the second image modules as the first and the second background images, respectively.

Dependent claims

A background image updating method adapted to a touch screen, wherein the touch screen comprises a display module, a first image module and a second image module, a first image is captured by the first image module as a first background image, a second image is captured by the second image module as a second background image, and the background image updating method comprises following steps:

(a) comparing whether an absolute value of a difference between a brightness of a third image captured by the first image module and a brightness of the first background image is greater than a first predetermined value;
(b) if the result of the step(a) is yes, comparing whether an absolute value of a difference between a brightness of a fourth image captured by the second image module and a brightness of the second background image is greater than a second predetermined value;
(c) if the result of the step(b) is yes, using the first image module to capture a fifth image, and using the second image module to capture a sixth image;
and
(d) using the fifth image to replace the first image as the first background image, and using the sixth image to replace the second image as the second background image.

2 more elements

A touch screen, comprising:

a display module;
a first image module disposed at a corner of the display module for capturing a first image as a first background image;
a second image module disposed at another corner of the display module for capturing a second image as a second background image;
and
a processor comprising a program, wherein the program is for performing a background image updating method, and the program comprises:
a first instruction for comparing whether an absolute value of a difference between a brightness of a third image captured by the first image module and a brightness of the first background image is greater than a first predetermined value;
a second instruction, wherein when the result of the first instruction is yes, the second instruction is for comparing whether an absolute value of a difference between a brightness of a fourth image captured by the second image module and a brightness of the second background image is greater than a second predetermined value;
and
a third instruction, wherein when the result of the second instruction is yes, the third instruction is for controlling the first image module to capture a fifth image to replace the first image as the first background image, and controlling the second image module to capture a sixth image to replace the second image as the second background image.
