Abstract

An interactive displaying method, a control method and an apparatus for achieving displaying of a holographic image are provided. The interactive displaying method comprises: scanning a 3D space by controlling signal transmitters arranged in a matrix to transmit signals; determining a target object in the 3D space; and determining a first position of the target object and displaying a viewable image corresponding to the target object at a second position of a display region. The control method comprises: scanning a 3D space by controlling signal transmitters arranged in a matrix to transmit signals; determining a gesture operation of a target object; determining the gesture; and executing a control operation corresponding to the gesture. The apparatus comprises a display unit, a signal detecting unit, a position determining unit and a display control unit.

Claims (26)

1. An interactive displaying method for achieving displaying of a holographic image, comprising the following steps of:

scanning a three-dimensional (3D) space by controlling signal transmitters arranged in a matrix to transmit signals;

determining a target object in the 3D space according to a signal received by any of signal receivers arranged in a matrix from a corresponding one of the signal transmitters, wherein each of the signal receivers is disposed corresponding to one of the signal transmitters and at a position in the matrix that is identical or adjacent to that of the corresponding one of the signal transmitters, and each of the signal receivers is only able to receive a reflected signal formed by the signal transmitted by the corresponding signal transmitter when being reflected by the target object;

determining a position S, in the matrix, of the one of the signal receivers arranged in the matrix that receives the signal transmitted by the corresponding signal transmitter, and determining a distance L between the determined signal receiver and the target object;

determining a first position of the target object according to the position S and the distance L; and

displaying a viewable image corresponding to the target object at a second position of a display region, wherein the second position has a mapping relationship with the first position;

wherein the step of determining a target object in the 3D space according to a signal received by any of the signal receivers arranged in a matrix from a corresponding one of the signal transmitters comprises:

detecting whether any of the signal receivers arranged in the matrix receives a signal;

if there is any of the signal receivers that has received a signal, then determining whether label information carried in the received signal matches label information of the signal receiver, wherein the label information carried by the signal is carried when the signal is transmitted by the signal transmitter, and the label information matches the label information of the signal receiver corresponding to the signal transmitter; and

if the label information carried by the received signal matches the label information of the signal receiver, then determining that the target object is located in the 3D space.

2. The interactive displaying method for achieving displaying of a holographic image of claim 1 , wherein the signals transmitted by the signal transmitters are laser signals, infrared signals or ultrasonic signals.

3. The interactive displaying method for achieving displaying of a holographic image of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining a first position of the target object according to the position S and the distance L is specifically as follows: determining coordinates of the target object on an X axis and a Y axis according to the position S, and determining a coordinate of the target object on a Z axis according to the distance L.

4. The interactive displaying method for achieving displaying of a holographic image of claim 1 , further comprising the following steps after the step of determining a first position of the target object according to the position S and the distance L:

determining a corresponding gesture according to the position and a motion trajectory of the target object, wherein the motion trajectory is determined according to a plurality of positions of the target object within a predetermined time; and

executing a control operation corresponding to the gesture.

5. The interactive displaying method for achieving displaying of a holographic image of claim 4 , further comprising the following step after the step of determining a corresponding gesture according to the position and a motion trajectory of the target object:

displaying a gesture icon at a position in the display region that corresponds to the position of the gesture in the 3D space.

6. The interactive displaying method for achieving displaying of a holographic image of claim 4 , further comprising the following steps after the step of determining a corresponding gesture according to the position and a motion trajectory of the target object:

displaying an object in one or more display sub-regions of the display region, and defining a sensing region for sensing the gesture in each of the display sub-regions; and

determining whether a gesture region corresponding to the gesture in the display region is in the sensing region so as to determine whether to control the object displayed in the display region according to the gesture operation.

7. The interactive displaying method for achieving displaying of a holographic image of claim 1 , wherein the step of displaying a viewable image corresponding to the target object at a second position of a display region is specifically as follows: displaying a holographic image corresponding to the target object at the second position of the display region.

8. An interactive displaying apparatus for achieving displaying of a holographic image, comprising a display unit, wherein the apparatus comprises:

a signal detecting unit, being formed by a plurality of pairs of signal transmitters and signal receivers arranged in matrices, being configured to scan a 3D space by controlling the signal transmitters to transmit signals and to determine a target object in the 3D space according to a signal received by any of the signal receivers from a corresponding one of the signal transmitters, wherein each of the signal receivers is disposed corresponding to one of the signal transmitters and at a position in the matrix that is identical or adjacent to that of the corresponding one of the signal transmitters, and each of the signal receivers is only able to receive a reflected signal formed by the signal transmitted by the corresponding signal transmitter when being reflected by the target object;
