Summary: | 碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 工業工程與工程管理學系 === 98 === Since Apple unveiled iPhone in 2007, which features a 3.5-inch projective capacitive multi-touch panel, it has brought a whirlwind of multi-touch technology. Subsequently, Microsoft launched Windows 7 in October 2009, which is a platform providing supports for the multi-touch interface. It is beyond doubt that multi-touch technology and human interface are the big trends, and attracts the eyes of global investors.
WHQL stands for Windows Hardware Quality Labs, which is a division of Microsoft, and is responsible for the certification of “Designed for Windows”. Windows Logo Certification ensures the device works well on the Windows 7 platform. Therefore, a certified device that passed Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Test can not only achieve the best performance under Windows 7 operating system, but also with optimal compatibility and stability. According to “Windows Touch Test” which validates the logo requirements, there are 14 necessary tests for Microsoft Logo Certification. However, each test needs to be executed manually at present, one or two fingers touch the panel and to move then from the starting point (S) to the ending point (E) along the line shown on the panel.
This research aims at developing an “auto-plotting two-contact touch panel tester”, which can simulate the movements of two fingers, and this tester can be applied to the automation of Windows 7 logo and compatibility certification tests.
We anticipate the “auto-plotting two-contact touch panel tester” can reduce the Human operating uncertainty and incorrect judgments, increase the accuracy of certification procedure with the automatic equipment, and meet the requirements for precision and deviation of INPUT-0046 “Windows Touch digitizers provide a high quality input experience.”
