The invention is: 1. The invention relates to a method for improving the tolerance of background light noise in an optical pointing system, in particular to an optical device applied to a peripheral device of a game. Pointing to the system to improve the tolerance of background light noise. [Prior Art] An optical pointing device optically transmits a pointing signal device, which can be applied to signal input in an interactive video game, as a motion sensing tracking, or, in a broad sense, can be applied to a computer. Controls the position of the cursor on the computer screen as a pointing device instead of a mouse. Interactive video games, whether they are video games or computer games, are quite popular entertainment. In general, computer games involve the execution of computer software on computers, and the operation of computer input peripheral devices, such as keyboards, mice, joysticks, and dance machines. However, the operation of these computer input peripherals makes the video game less realistic. Therefore, in order to make the game more exciting and interesting, the "optical pointing system" that captures the player's movements has emerged. As shown in FIG. 1, the optical pointing system 100 is essentially a photographic lens 101 coupled with a light directional device 102. The optical directional device can be used in various shapes, such as bats, hand grabs, swords, and the like. Steering wheel, etc. The photographic lens captures the dynamics of the pointing device, allowing the transmission of the signal to the system to be wireless to overcome the inconvenience of the player in performing a 3D action game. Furthermore, the "pointing device" has been modified from the conventional one without a light source to a passive marker with a reflective material, and has been modified to have a 〇944-A41441-TW/Final1 4 1374044 case number 098118666 July 12, 101 Correct the pointer of the light source to avoid the inconvenience that the conventional passive pointer needs to add a projection light source and the background light source needs to be controlled within a reasonable range. Finally, the pointer of the built-in light source may use visible light or invisible light, and in use, the visible light director may affect the player's vision and cause discomfort and the optical signal is easily interfered by the background light, so the pointing The design of the device uses infrared rays in invisible light. The use of infrared light as a light source has the advantages of power saving and low cost, and has become the first choice for the industry to design this product. However, in our living environment, it is actually full of infrared rays. Whenever an object has heat, it emits heat radiation, and these heat radiation (so-called infrared rays) may cause noise 105 in the kneading surface 106 captured by the photographic lens 101, and The spot 104 emitted by the pointer 102 is not identifiable. In addition, the optical sensing components in the photographic lens, such as the 在 of the charge coupled device (CCD), may also cause the optical pointing system to inevitably suffer from background noise interference. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide an optical pointing system that improves background noise tolerance. The optical pointing system of the present invention includes: a first light director comprising a first light emitting portion for emitting a first specific number of light spots; and a first driving device coupled to the first light emitting a portion for controlling the first specific number of light spots to be emitted in a normal mode or in a specific flashing mode and an optical receiver for capturing the first specific number of light spots and determining the received background light The noise condition; when the back 944-A4144UW/Final] 1374044 case number _ _ July 12, a value of 'turns the first-light pointer working mode, issued, #二?二=--mode switching To - specific flash mode single-type two, two wide-light noise tolerance. The conventional pointer is only in the general mode of the present invention, and the invention can cut the pointer::, and between the flash modes (including the general mode and the flashing mode, the flash in the basin has various types) State, see the implementation of the following text), will effectively improve the situation of day and month without noise interference. In addition to improving the tolerance to background light, another object of the present invention is to identify in the optical pointing system of more than one optical director that the optical directors are given different (four) modes. The effect of each light spot. The above described objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the description of the appended claims. [Embodiment] - In order to enable the reviewing committee to better understand the techniques, means, and effects of the present invention for achieving the intended purpose, refer to the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings. The features and features of the invention are to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive. 2 is a block diagram of an optical pointing system 20 of the present invention. The optical pointing system 200 mainly includes a first pointing device 21A and a light receiver 220. The first optical director 210 further includes a first light emitting portion 213 for emitting a first specific number of light spots 23A; and a first driving unit 944-A41441-TW/Finall 1374044 Case No. 098118666 1〇1 On July 12th of the year, it is modified to couple the first light emitting portion 213' to control the first-specific light spot 23' in a normal mode or in a specific flashing mode. The first light receiver 220 determines that the light of the background light in the environment is at a value, that is: ::210 !! The working mode of the device 210, so that the first-specific number of spots 23= The second flash mode is emitted. The light receiver 22G can be used to capture the first light spot 230. According to the invention, the first light receiver 22 has a number of light spots 23. Identify. If the specific flash=thermal method is used for identification, repeat the above steps to switch the 2nd to 1st work 1 mode, so that the first specific number of spots 23〇 is switched to two: the fixed flash mode makes the first light The receiver 22G can more easily recognize the first feature number of spots 230. In another embodiment, the light receiving cry 220 can also be used to determine the noise condition of the received background light; when the noise of the background light reaches a threshold, a first control signal 25 is output to the driving device 212. And causing the first specific number of spots 23 to be emitted in the flashing mode, thereby suppressing background noise. The first light emitting portion 2 described above includes a specific number of LEDs for emitting infrared rays. The light receiving cry 220 further includes an optical sensor 221, and the optical sensor is a photosensitive element such as a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a Complementary Metal-Oxide_Semiconductor. a CMOS) sensor or the like for capturing the first specific number of spots 230 and outputting the first pointing signal 240. The optical sensor 221 is coupled to the noise detector 222 for receiving the first pointing signal 240 and determining the background of the first specific number of light spots. 0944-A4] 44]-TW/Final] 1374044 Case No. 098118666 On July 12, 101, it was corrected whether the noise reached a threshold and the control signal 250 was output. The noise condition of the background light can be judged by the signal to noise ratio (S/N) of the first specific number of light spots and the background noise, and the threshold value can be determined by the noise suppressor 222. given. As in the prior art, the optical receiver 220 can further include an action tracking sensor 223 coupled to the noise suppressor 222, which includes a digital signal processor (DSP) and a central processing unit (Central). The processing unit (CPU) is used for subsequent processing of the dynamics of the optical pointer. Referring to Figures 3A through 3C, it will be helpful to understand the above general mode and flash mode. The general mode, as shown in FIG. 3A, is such that the first specific number of light spots 230 emitted by the first light emitting portion 213 does not flash, that is, the light is continuously turned on; the first flashing mode, as shown in FIG. 3B, The first specific number of light spots 230 of the first light emitting portion 213 is flashed at a specific frequency, wherein the specific frequency can be adjusted by the light receiver 220; and, as shown in FIG. 3C, the second flashing mode is The first specific number of light spots 230 of a light emitting portion 213 is flashed in a specific pattern, wherein the specific pattern can also be adjusted by the light receiver 220. For example, the specific type can be: In the figure 310, the length of the light and the off time (T1 and T2 in the figure) are periodically configured; second, as shown in Fig. 320, the flashing frequency (F1 and F2 in the figure) is periodically configured. All of the above mentioned in the first interval can be used as the identification of the signal-signal. As can be seen from the above, the first specific number of spots 230 includes at least one spot. It is worth noting that 'different implementations can correspond to different types of flashing patterns'. Those skilled in the art can easily mix and use according to the above various types, and the changes are numerous, and the above examples are only for convenience of explanation. 〇 944·Α4144 TW/Finall 1374044 Case No. 098118666 The amendment of July 12, 2011 is not intended to limit the invention. Fig. 4 is a flow chart showing the first embodiment of the noise suppression method of the optical pointing system of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, when the optical pointing system 200 is activated, the general mode is directly entered, so that the first specific number of light spots 230 emitted by the first light emitting portion 213 in the first light director 210 does not flash. move. After the light receiver 220 is activated, all the light entering the optical sensor 221 is converted into the first specific number of light points 230 into a first pointing signal 240 having digital image information, and is output to the noise. The suppressor 222, when the noise suppressor 222 determines that the noise of the background light does not reach a set threshold and recognizes the first specific number of spots 230, the noise suppressor 222 does not issue any command. The optical pointing system 200 still operates in a normal mode. When the noise suppressor 222 determines that the noise of the background light has exceeded a set threshold, the first driving device 212 of the first optical director 210 of the remote end sends a first control signal 250, so that The first driving device 212 drives the first light emitting portion 213 to operate in the flashing mode, and the method can make the noise suppressor more easily recognize the first specific number of light spots 230 to achieve suppression of the background light. The purpose of noise. The first control signal is transmitted by the noise suppressor 222 to the first driving device 212, for example, by wireless transmission.

Referring to Figures 2 and 5, when the optical pointing system 0944-A4M4]-Ding W/Finall 1374044 -r | ^ y 200 is activated, the general mode is directly entered, so that the first light in the first optical director The predetermined number of spots 230 emitted by the transmitting portion 213 are not flashing. After the light receiver 22 is activated, all the light entering the light-sensing sensation 221 is continuously converted into a first-directed letter 1 having digital image information, and the output is f. The noise suppressor 222, when the light receiver 22 only captures the first number of spots 230, then the noise suppressor 222 does not issue any command, so that the optical pointing system 200 is still in the normal mode. Operation. When the light 7 receives the benefit 220 while capturing the first specific number of spots 23 〇 and the second specific number of spots 530, then the optical receiver 22 〇, the optical directional device 2 The second driving device f 512 respectively sends a first control signal f tiger 250 and -= 550 ' so that the first driving device 212 and the second driving device: The first light emitting portion 213 and the second light emitting device are in a flashing mode, and the two operate in a flashing nucleus of the phase. The method can cause the noise suppressor to recognize the second specific number point: and the second specific number of light spots 53G' reaches the re-month b of the present invention. The first embodiment is applied to the orientation of the interactive game =: different A plurality of players of the light pointer.
