INDUSTRIAL MANIPULATING SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE COMPUTERS AND INDUSTRIAL MANIPULATING METHOD
An industrial manipulating system includes a plurality of computers and an input assembly shared by the computers. A response capability of the computer is interrupted to operation commands. A camera is used to take a photograph of a current operator and determination is made whether the photograph contains a face image of the current operator. The response capability of the identified computer is restored to the operation commands when the photograph contains the face image of the current operator.
1 . An industrial manipulating method, comprising:
interrupting a response capability of a computer to operation commands;
obtaining a photograph of a current operator of the computer;
determining whether the photograph contains a face image of the current operator; and
restoring the response capability of the identified computer to the operation commands when the photograph contains the face image of the current operator.
2 . The industrial manipulating method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether the current operator is a legitimate operator by determining whether the photograph of the current operator matches a pre-stored image of legitimate operators.
3 . The industrial manipulating method of claim 2 , wherein the determining whether the photograph contains a face image of the current operator is implemented if the current operator is determined as a legitimate operator.
4 . The industrial manipulating method of claim 2 , wherein the determining whether the photograph of the current operator matches one of pre-stored images of legitimate operators comprises:
determining whether a weighted mean value of facial characteristics, eye characteristics, and nose characteristics of the photograph reaches a predetermined percentage of a weighted mean value of facial characteristics, eye characteristics, and nose characteristics of one of the pre-stored images, if the a weighted mean value of facial characteristics, eye characteristics, and nose characteristics of the photograph reaches a predetermined percentage of a weighted mean value of facial characteristics, eye characteristics, and nose characteristics of one of the pre-stored images, determining that the photograph of the current operator matches the pre-stored image.
5 . The industrial manipulating method of claim 1 , further comprises:
calculating a time length that the current operator stays in front of the computer after determining the photograph contains the face image of the current operator; and
determining whether the time length reaches a predetermined time value.
6 . The industrial manipulating method of claim 5 , further comprising:
designating the computer as a target computer if the time length reaches a predetermined time value.
7 . The industrial manipulating method of claim 5 , further comprises:
detecting an external pressure imposed on an input assembly after determining that the time length reaches the predetermined time value; and
determining whether the external pressure is greater than or equal to a predetermined pressure value.
8 . The industrial manipulating method of claim 5 , wherein the designating the computer as a target computer is implemented if the external pressure is greater than or equal to a predetermined pressure value.
9 . The industrial manipulating method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining a photograph of a current operator comprises:
activating a camera embedded in a display; and
controlling the camera to take a photograph on a face of the current operator.
10 . An industrial manipulating system, comprising:
a plurality of computers; and
an input assembly shared by the computers;
wherein each computer comprises a memory, a processor, a camera, and a control system, the control system is installed in the memory and executed by the processor, wherein the control system comprises:
an interrupting module interrupting a response capability of the computer to operation commands;
an image collecting module controlling the camera to take a photograph of a current operator;
a first designating module determining whether the photograph contains a face image of the current operator; and
a control module restoring the response capability of the identified computer to the operation commands when the photograph contains a face image of the current operator.
11 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 10 , wherein the control system further comprises a first determining module for determining whether the current operator is a legitimate operator.
12 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 11 , wherein images of legitimate operators are pre-stored in the memory, and the first determining module determines whether the photograph of the current operator matches one of pre-stored images of legitimate operators to determine whether the current operator is a legitimate operator.
13 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 12 , wherein the first determining module determines that the photograph of the current operator matches one of pre-stored images of legitimate operators when a weighted mean value of facial characteristics, eye characteristics, and nose characteristics of the photograph reaches a predetermined percentage of a weighted mean value of facial characteristics, eye characteristics, and nose characteristics of one of the pre-stored images.
14 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 10 , wherein the control system further comprises a timing module for calculating a time length that the current operator stays in front of the computer.
15 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 14 , wherein the control system further comprises a second determining module for determining whether the time length reaches a predetermined time value.
16 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 14 , wherein the control system further comprises a second designating module for designating the computer as a target computer if the time length reaches a predetermined time value.
17 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 10 , further comprising a pressure sensor connected to the input assembly, the pressure sensor is configured to detect an external pressure imposed on the input assembly.
18 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 10 , wherein the control system further comprises a pressure detecting module for controlling the pressure sensor to detect the external pressure imposed on the input assembly and collecting external pressure information from the pressure sensor.
19 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 18 , wherein the control system further comprises a third determining module for determining whether the external pressure is greater than or equal to a predetermined pressure value.
20 . The industrial manipulating system of claim 10 , wherein the computer further comprises a display, and the camera is embedded in the display.
