The digitizer integrated circuit 430 can determine the coordinates on the display 320 of the input device 400. [ As another example, the processor 440 may determine the coordinates on the display 320 of the input device 400 based on the data transmitted by the digitizer integrated circuit 430.

5A, the first pattern 520 extends from the periphery of the first area 510 (e.g., the first area 371 of FIG. 3) corresponding to the opening 370 and outward . According to various embodiments of the present invention, the first region 510 has a length of about 20 mm in the transverse direction (direction parallel to the X axis) and about 10 mm in the longitudinal direction (direction parallel to the Y axis) But is not limited thereto.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the first pattern 520 formed is a magnetic field generated as an input device (e.g., input device 400 of FIG. 3) approaches a digitizer (e.g., digitizer 331 of FIG. 3) Can be detected by electromagnetic induction phenomenon. For example, when the intensity of the magnetic field passing through the first pattern 520 changes, the value of the current flowing through the conductive line constituting the first pattern 520 may change due to the electromagnetic induction phenomenon. In a manner that detects a change in current value, the digitizer (e.g., the digitizer 331 of FIG. 3) may detect a change in intensity of the magnetic field.

FIG. 5B is an enlarged view of the periphery of the first area (for example, the first area 371 in FIG. 3 and the first area 510 in FIG. 5A) shown in FIG. 5A. Referring to FIG. 5B, a first pattern 520 may be formed around and outside the first region 510. The first region 510 may refer to a portion corresponding to the opening 370.

For example, the first pattern 520 can not be disposed in the first area 510 on the digitizer 331, and the first pattern 520 can extend around the first area 510 and out.

5C is a view showing a plurality of conductive lines constituting the first pattern 520 shown in FIG. 5A, FIG. 5C is a view showing a plurality of conductive lines constituting the first pattern 520 shown in FIG. Y-axis) of the conductive pattern. 5C, the conductive patterns 530-a to 530-i for measuring the coordinates in the vertical direction can be placed in a digitizer (e.g., the digitizer 331 in FIG. 3). 5A, the conductive patterns 530-a to 530-i are formed of a first conductive line (e.g., the first conductive lines 521-a to 521-h in FIG. 5A) and a second conductive line Lines (e.g., the second conductive lines 522-a to 522-h of FIG. 5A) may be connected and formed.

The digitizer integrated circuit 430 can identify a change in intensity of the magnetic field measured in a plurality of conductive patterns (e.g., the plurality of conductive patterns 530-a to 530-i in FIG. 5C). As described above, the change in the intensity of the magnetic field can generate the voltage (or current) by the electromagnetic induction phenomenon. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 can confirm the change in intensity of the magnetic field based on the magnitude of the voltage (or current) generated by the electromagnetic induction phenomenon. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 can identify the conductive pattern having the greatest change in intensity of the magnetic field among the plurality of conductive patterns 530-a to 530-i. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 can determine which conductive pattern has the greatest change in intensity of the magnetic field based on the intensity of the current measured in the channels connected to the plurality of conductive patterns 530-a to 530-i. For example, the digitizer integrated circuit 430 may verify that the first one of the plurality of conductive patterns 530-a through 530-i has a change in intensity of the largest magnetic field. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 may be programmed to provide a predetermined number of conductive patterns proximate to a conductive pattern (e.g., first coil 530-f) having the greatest magnitude of magnetic field strength change (e.g., 530-e, 530g) can be confirmed. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 may adjust the Y axis coordinate corresponding to the first coil 530-f based on the difference value of the change in intensity of the magnetic field measured at the two coils 530-e and 530-g have. Adjusting the Y-axis coordinate can use Equation 1 described below.

[Equation 1]

X = Px + (DX / 2) * (VR-VL) / (2 * VP-VR-VL)

(Px: Coordinate of the loop coil whose peak level is detected, DX: Arrangement interval of the loop coils arranged in the X axis direction, VL: Signal level of the loop coil with the highest signal level, VL, VR: Loop with the highest signal level The signal level of the loop coil on both sides of the coil)

For example, when the change of the magnetic field strength of the second coil 530-e is greater than the change of the magnetic field strength of the third coil 530-g, the first coil 530- f to be closer to the second coil 530-e. Conversely, when the change in the magnetic field strength of the second coil 530-e is smaller than the change in the magnetic field strength of the third coil 530-g, the Y-axis coordinate corresponding to the first coil 530- It can be adjusted to be closer to the coil 530-g.

5D shows coils for measuring the coordinates in the horizontal direction (X axis) of the coordinates on the display (e.g. display 320 of FIG. 3) of the input device (e.g., input device 400 of FIG. 3) . 5D, the conductive patterns 540-a to 540-j for measuring the coordinates in the vertical direction can be placed in the digitizer 331. [

The following describes how the digitizer integrated circuit (e.g., the digitizer integrated circuit 430 of FIG. 4) obtains the X axis coordinates on the display 320 of the input device 400.

The digitizer integrated circuit 430 may measure a change value of the intensity of the magnetic field measured by each of the plurality of conductive patterns 540-a to 540-j. As described above, the change in the intensity of the magnetic field can generate the voltage (or current) by the electromagnetic induction phenomenon. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 can confirm the change in intensity of the magnetic field based on the magnitude of the voltage (or current) generated by the electromagnetic induction phenomenon. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 may determine which conductive pattern has the greatest change in intensity of the magnetic field based on the intensity of the current measured in the channels connected to the plurality of conductive patterns 540-a to 540-j. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 may identify a conductive pattern having a change in intensity of the largest magnetic field among the plurality of conductive patterns 540-a to 540-j. For example, the digitizer integrated circuit 430 may verify that the second coil 540-f of the plurality of conductive patterns 540-a through 540-j has the greatest intensity change of the magnetic field. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 may include a set number of conductive patterns proximate to a conductive pattern (e.g., a second coil 540-f) having a change in intensity of the largest magnetic field, e.g., two closest coils 540- -e, 540g) can be confirmed. The digitizer integrated circuit 430 may adjust the x-axis coordinates corresponding to the second coil 540-f based on the difference in intensity variations of the magnetic field measured in the two conductive patterns 540-e and 540-g have. Adjusting the X-axis coordinate can use Equation 1 described above. Using the above method, the digitizer integrated circuit 430 can confirm the position on the digitizer 331 of the input device 400 based on the difference value of the change in the intensity of the magnetic field measured in the first pattern.

6A and 6B are diagrams showing an embodiment of a result of determining the position of the input device 400 using the first pattern in an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention.

6A is a diagram for explaining a case where a touch input (or a proximity input) is performed in a predetermined direction in a vertical direction (Y axis direction) using an input device (e.g., the input device 400 of FIG. 3) (E.g., the first region 371 in FIG. 3, the first region 510 in FIG. 5) and the first region 510 It can be confirmed that the direction of the line input by the input device 400 is not constant in the vicinity of the line 510. For example, in the vicinity of the first area 510 and the first area 510, it can be seen that the error of the coordinate detected by the position of the input device 400 is large.

6B shows a case where a touch input (or proximity input) is performed in an oblique direction (a direction forming an angle of 45 degrees with the x-axis) using an input device (e.g., the input device 400 shown in Fig. 3) The direction of the line input by the input device 400 is not constant near the first area 510 and the first area 510. That is, Can be confirmed. For example, in the vicinity of the first area 510 and the first area 510, it can be seen that the error between the coordinates detected by the position of the input device 400 and the actual coordinates is large.

Since the plurality of conductive patterns included in the first pattern 510 are disposed outside the first region 510 and are designed not to include the first region 510 Lt; / RTI > Due to the above arrangement structure, some of the plurality of conductive patterns (e.g., the conductive patterns disposed in the vicinity of the opening 370) can be changed in size due to the opening 370, Can not be measured. 6C, in the conductive pattern 600 shown in FIG. 6C, when the opening (for example, the opening 370 in FIG. 3) does not exist, the area of the conductive pattern 600 is divided into the A region 610 and the A region 610. [ The B region 620 may be the sum of the two regions. However, due to the presence of the opening 370, the area of the conductive pattern 600 may be somewhat damaged, for example, a change in the size of the magnetic field corresponding to the area of the A region 610 may not be measured. When the opening 370 is present, the area of the conductive pattern 600 may correspond to the width of the B region 620. The difference in the area may cause an error in coordinate recognition.

By adding the value multiplied by the intensity of the magnetic field measured in the conductive pattern (for example, the conductive pattern 600 in FIG. 6C), the magnetic field that can not be measured by the lost area can be compensated. The intensity of the magnetic field measured in the second pattern 715 may be approximately equal to the intensity of the magnetic field measured on the first area (e.g., the first area 510 of FIG. 5A).
