sove this diophantine equations $(2^x-1)(3^y-1)=2z^2$

Find the postive integers $(2^x-1)(3^y-1)=2z^2$ have three solution $$(1,1,1),(1,2,2),(1,5,11)$$I already know the solution of $(2^x-1)(3^y-1)=z^2$ has no solution.see:P.G.Walsh December 2006 [On diophantine equations of the form] paper but there is a factor of 2 that seems complicated, and I didn't know anyone had studied this before. If so, please help me with the article or link,Thanks
