Description

指紋辨識系統、驅動電路及指紋辨識方法Fingerprint identification system, driving circuit and fingerprint identification method

本發明是有關於一種指紋辨識技術,且特別是有關於一種指紋辨識系統、驅動電路及指紋辨識方法。The invention relates to a fingerprint identification technology, and in particular to a fingerprint identification system, a driving circuit and a fingerprint identification method.

在指紋辨識的技術領域中,指紋辨識技術可分為光學式、熱感應式、超音波式與電容式等,並且這些指紋辨識技術在目前各式電子裝置中皆有不同的應用與結合。特別是電容式的指紋辨識技術在目前有較廣泛應用,其指紋辨識的方式是針對指紋的凹凸紋路變化進行辨識,以取得指紋資訊。由於指紋上具有不同的凹凸紋路,因此當指紋接觸感測面板時,感測面板上的不同感測區域的電容值將分別對應所接觸到的不同紋路發生改變,其中指紋的凹部感應電容值較小,而在指紋的凸部感應的電容值較大。然而,指紋的紋路變化幅度相當微小,相對在感測面板上感應的電容值可能只有0.1法拉和1法拉的差別。所以,在進行指紋辨識的時候,若有雜訊干擾的存在,指紋辨識系統接收關於電容值變化的感測訊號以進行分析電容值變化時,將容易受到雜訊的影響,造成訊號的誤判以影響指紋辨識的準確度。因此,如何克服雜訊干擾以提升指紋辨識的準確度是目前相當重要的課題。In the technical field of fingerprint identification, fingerprint identification technology can be divided into optical, thermal, ultrasonic and capacitive, and these fingerprint identification technologies have different applications and combinations in various electronic devices. In particular, the capacitive fingerprint identification technology has been widely used at present, and the fingerprint identification method is to identify the fingerprint roughness change to obtain fingerprint information. Since the fingerprint has different embossed lines, when the fingerprint contacts the sensing panel, the capacitance values of the different sensing regions on the sensing panel will respectively change corresponding to the different lines touched, wherein the concave portion of the fingerprint has a capacitance value Small, and the capacitance value induced in the convex portion of the fingerprint is large. However, the variation of the fingerprint's texture is quite small, and the capacitance value induced on the sensing panel may be only 0.1 Farad and 1 Farad. Therefore, when fingerprint recognition occurs, if there is noise interference, the fingerprint identification system receives the sensing signal about the change of the capacitance value to analyze the change of the capacitance value, and is susceptible to the influence of the noise, resulting in the misjudgment of the signal. Affect the accuracy of fingerprint identification. Therefore, how to overcome noise interference to improve the accuracy of fingerprint identification is a very important topic at present.

Please refer to Figure 1. The fingerprint recognition system 10 of the present embodiment includes a sensing panel 100 and a driving circuit 200. The sensing panel 100 includes a plurality of sensors 110. The sensors 110 correspond to the plurality of sensing regions SR of the sensing panel 100, wherein the sensors 110 sense the capacitance values of the sensing regions SR in a one-to-one manner. Each of the sensors 110 transmits the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS via the two signal transmission paths 120 and 130, respectively.

在本實施例中,感測面板100更包括多個開關元件以及兩訊號傳遞路徑120、130,其中各感測器110經由兩開關元件140、150分別連接兩訊號傳遞路徑120、130。開關元件140、150用以進行相同的切換操作,其中各感測器110藉由開關元件140來決定是否傳遞感測的電容值。In this embodiment, the sensing panel 100 further includes a plurality of switching elements and two signal transmission paths 120 and 130. Each of the sensors 110 respectively connects the two signal transmission paths 120 and 130 via the two switching elements 140 and 150. The switching elements 140, 150 are used to perform the same switching operation, wherein each of the sensors 110 determines whether to transmit the sensed capacitance value by the switching element 140.

在本實施例中,驅動電路200耦接至感測面板100。驅動電路200用以驅動感測面板100,並且依據感測訊號SS以及參考訊號FS進行指紋辨識操作,其中感測訊號SS以及參考訊號FS形成差動訊號對。驅動電路200依據感測訊號SS以及參考訊號FS產生指紋辨識訊號FIS,其中驅動電路400可進一步輸出指紋辨識訊號FIS至驅動電路400的下一級電路(圖上未示)以進行下一階段的指紋辨識,但本發明並不加以限制。In the embodiment, the driving circuit 200 is coupled to the sensing panel 100. The driving circuit 200 is configured to drive the sensing panel 100 and perform a fingerprint identification operation according to the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS, wherein the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS form a differential signal pair. The driving circuit 200 generates a fingerprint identification signal FIS according to the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS. The driving circuit 400 can further output the fingerprint identification signal FIS to the next-stage circuit of the driving circuit 400 (not shown) for the next stage of the fingerprint. Identification, but the invention is not limited.

在本實施例中,感測器110可以是電容感測器,而感測面板100可以是電容式指紋辨識面板,亦可結合觸控面板、顯示面板或觸控顯示面板等,以同時具有指紋辨識以及其他觸控、顯示功能,但本發明並不加以限制。另外,開關元件140、150可以是傳輸閘、電晶體開關或是其他開關元件/電路等。In this embodiment, the sensor 110 can be a capacitive sensor, and the sensing panel 100 can be a capacitive fingerprint recognition panel, and can also be combined with a touch panel, a display panel, or a touch display panel to have a fingerprint at the same time. Identification and other touch and display functions, but the invention is not limited. In addition, the switching elements 140, 150 may be transmission gates, transistor switches or other switching elements/circuits, and the like.

需注意的是,在本實施例中,訊號傳遞路徑130實質上不耦接至感測器110,因此訊號傳遞路徑130傳遞的參考訊號FS不包括有感測區域SR的電容值。此外,本實施例的感測器110的電路配置以及感測區域SR的範圍大小不限於圖1所示,圖1僅用於呈現概要的配置關係,其目的在於表達感測區域SR與訊號傳遞路徑120、130之間的耦接關係,其中訊號傳遞路徑120耦接至感測器110,以便接收由感測器110所感測的感測區域SR的電容值變化。相對的,訊號傳遞路徑130不耦接至感測器110,其中訊號傳遞路徑130是用以傳遞參考訊號FS,並且參考訊號FS可對應於感測訊號SS當中的雜訊波形。It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the signal transmission path 130 is not substantially coupled to the sensor 110. Therefore, the reference signal FS transmitted by the signal transmission path 130 does not include the capacitance value of the sensing area SR. In addition, the circuit configuration of the sensor 110 and the range of the sensing area SR of the present embodiment are not limited to those shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is only used to present the configuration relationship of the summary, and the purpose is to express the sensing area SR and signal transmission. The coupling relationship between the paths 120 and 130, wherein the signal transmission path 120 is coupled to the sensor 110 to receive the change in the capacitance value of the sensing region SR sensed by the sensor 110. In contrast, the signal transmission path 130 is not coupled to the sensor 110, wherein the signal transmission path 130 is used to transmit the reference signal FS, and the reference signal FS may correspond to the noise waveform in the sensing signal SS.

具體來說,當使用者將手指放置在感測面板100上以進行指紋辨識操作時,由於感測面板100的這些多個感測區域SR分別對應不同的指紋紋路,這些感測器110可分別感測到不同的電容值,其中各感測器110可分別藉由開關元件140以分時傳輸的方式經由訊號傳遞路徑120來傳遞感測的電容值至驅動電路200,以利用驅動電路200進行指紋辨識操作。然而,當驅動電路200藉由訊號傳遞路徑120接收這些感測器110所測得的電容值時,驅動電路200還可能包括接收在訊號傳遞路徑120當中因為寄生電容或者是其他開關元件所提供的電容所產生的雜訊,甚至可能包括其他電路配置所衍生的雜訊干擾。也就是說,感測訊號SS可依據各感測器110測得的電容值以及在訊號傳遞路徑120當中的寄生電容值來決定。因此,驅動電路200所接收的感測訊號SS除了具有感測器110所接收到的電容值變化之外,還包括在訊號傳遞路徑120當中的寄生電容所提供的雜訊。Specifically, when the user places a finger on the sensing panel 100 to perform a fingerprint recognition operation, since the plurality of sensing regions SR of the sensing panel 100 respectively correspond to different fingerprint patterns, the sensors 110 may respectively The different capacitance values are sensed, wherein each of the sensors 110 can transmit the sensed capacitance value to the driving circuit 200 via the signal transmission path 120 by means of the switching element 140 in a time-sharing manner, to be performed by the driving circuit 200. Fingerprint recognition operation. However, when the driving circuit 200 receives the capacitance values measured by the sensors 110 through the signal transmission path 120, the driving circuit 200 may further include receiving in the signal transmission path 120 due to parasitic capacitance or other switching elements. The noise generated by the capacitor may even include noise interference caused by other circuit configurations. That is to say, the sensing signal SS can be determined according to the capacitance value measured by each sensor 110 and the parasitic capacitance value in the signal transmission path 120. Therefore, the sensing signal SS received by the driving circuit 200 includes the noise provided by the parasitic capacitance in the signal transmission path 120 in addition to the capacitance value change received by the sensor 110.

在本實施例中,驅動電路200經由訊號傳遞路徑130接收參考訊號FS。訊號傳遞路徑130可與訊號傳遞路徑120為對稱配置,以具有相同的等效負載。各感測器110的開關元件150與開關元件140也可以是對稱配置,並且具有相同的切換操作。藉此,傳遞路徑130與訊號傳遞路徑120將具有相同的寄生電容效應,以便產生相同的雜訊干擾。也就是說,參考訊號FS可依據訊號傳遞路徑130的寄生電容值來決定。因此,驅動電路200所接收參考訊號FS可以是在訊號傳遞路徑130當中的寄生電容所提供的雜訊。In the present embodiment, the driving circuit 200 receives the reference signal FS via the signal transmission path 130. The signal transfer path 130 can be symmetrically configured with the signal transfer path 120 to have the same equivalent load. The switching element 150 and the switching element 140 of each sensor 110 may also be symmetrically arranged and have the same switching operation. Thereby, the transmission path 130 and the signal transmission path 120 will have the same parasitic capacitance effect in order to generate the same noise interference. That is to say, the reference signal FS can be determined according to the parasitic capacitance value of the signal transmission path 130. Therefore, the reference signal FS received by the driving circuit 200 may be the noise provided by the parasitic capacitance in the signal transmission path 130.

需注意的是,在本實施例中,由於訊號傳遞路徑120可與訊號傳遞路徑130為對稱配置,訊號傳遞路徑120、130的電路具有相同的電路結構以及電子元件佈局,例如具有相同開關數量,並且訊號傳遞路徑120、130為對稱配置,其中開關元件140與對應的開關150進行相同的切換操作。在本實施例中,訊號傳遞路徑120、130的差別在於,訊號傳遞路徑120將藉由多個開關140的切換動作傳遞感測器110感測的電容值,而訊號傳遞路徑130雖然耦接至具有與這些開關140對稱配置的多個開關150,但這些開關150不傳遞感測器110感測的電容值。這些開關150的一端耦接至訊號傳遞路徑130,而另一端可以是接地、浮接或是耦接至特定電壓準位等,本發明並不加以限制。也就是說,感測訊號SS以及參考訊號FS具有相同的雜訊干擾訊號,但感測訊號SS進一步包括感測器110的電容值變化。因此,藉由感測訊號SS以及參考訊號FS形成差動訊號對,驅動電路200可接收感測訊號SS以及參考訊號FS進行差值運算以刪除感測訊號SS當中的雜訊,並且取得指紋辨識訊號FIS。It should be noted that, in this embodiment, since the signal transmission path 120 can be symmetrically configured with the signal transmission path 130, the circuits of the signal transmission paths 120 and 130 have the same circuit structure and electronic component layout, for example, having the same number of switches. And the signal transmission paths 120, 130 are in a symmetrical configuration, wherein the switching element 140 performs the same switching operation as the corresponding switch 150. In this embodiment, the difference between the signal transmission paths 120 and 130 is that the signal transmission path 120 transmits the capacitance value sensed by the sensor 110 by the switching action of the plurality of switches 140, and the signal transmission path 130 is coupled to There are a plurality of switches 150 that are symmetrically configured with these switches 140, but these switches 150 do not pass the capacitance values sensed by the sensor 110. One end of the switch 150 is coupled to the signal transmission path 130, and the other end may be grounded, floated, or coupled to a specific voltage level, etc., and the invention is not limited thereto. That is, the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS have the same noise interference signal, but the sensing signal SS further includes the capacitance value change of the sensor 110. Therefore, the differential signal pair is formed by the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS, and the driving circuit 200 can receive the difference between the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS to delete the noise in the sensing signal SS, and obtain fingerprint identification. Signal FIS.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the fingerprint identification system 30 of the embodiment includes a sensing panel 300 and a driving circuit 400 . The sensing panel 300 includes a plurality of sensors 310_1~310_N.

需注意的是,在本實施例中,訊號傳遞路徑330實質上不耦接至感測器310_1~310_N,因此訊號傳遞路徑330傳遞的參考訊號FS不包括有感測區域SR1~SRN的電容值。此外,本實施例的感測器310_1~310_N的電路配置以及感測區域SR1~SRN的範圍大小不限於圖3所示,圖3僅為範例示意圖,其目的在於表達感測區域SR1~SRN與訊號傳遞路徑320、330之間的耦接關係,其中訊號傳遞路徑320耦接至感測器310_1~310_N,以利用感測器310_1~310_N接收感測區域SR1~SRN的電容值變化。相對的,訊號傳遞路徑330不耦接至感測器310_1~310_N,其中訊號傳遞路徑330是用以傳遞參考訊號FS,並且參考訊號FS可對應於感測訊號SS當中的雜訊波形。It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the signal transmission path 330 is not substantially coupled to the sensors 310_1~310_N, so the reference signal FS transmitted by the signal transmission path 330 does not include the capacitance values of the sensing areas SR1~SRN. . In addition, the circuit configuration of the sensors 310_1~310_N and the range of the sensing areas SR1~SRN of the present embodiment are not limited to those shown in FIG. 3.

No longer.

在本實施例中,驅動電路400包括訊號處理電路410、電壓供應電路420以及電阻器430、440。訊號處理電路410包括差動放大器電路411,其中差動放大器電路411用以接收經由訊號傳遞路徑320、330傳遞的感測訊號SS以及參考訊號FS,並且進行差值運算以取得指紋辨識訊號FIS,並且將指紋辨識訊號FIS的運算結果輸出至驅動電路400的下一級電路(圖上未示)進行下一階段的指紋辨識。然而,在另一實施例中,驅動電路400可進一步包括類比/數位轉換電路412,用以接收指紋辨識訊號FIS以進行類比/數位轉換,而再將轉換結果輸出至驅動電路400的下一級電路(圖上未示)以進行下一階段的指紋辨識運算,但本發明並不加以限制。In the present embodiment, the driving circuit 400 includes a signal processing circuit 410, a voltage supply circuit 420, and resistors 430, 440. The signal processing circuit 410 includes a differential amplifier circuit 411 for receiving the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS transmitted via the signal transmission paths 320, 330, and performing a difference operation to obtain the fingerprint identification signal FIS. And the operation result of the fingerprint identification signal FIS is output to the next-stage circuit (not shown) of the drive circuit 400 for fingerprint recognition in the next stage. However, in another embodiment, the driving circuit 400 may further include an analog/digital conversion circuit 412 for receiving the fingerprint identification signal FIS for analog/digital conversion, and then outputting the conversion result to the next stage circuit of the driving circuit 400. (not shown) to perform the fingerprint recognition operation of the next stage, but the invention is not limited.

在本實施例中,電壓供應電路420透過兩電阻器430、440分別耦接至訊號傳遞路徑320、330,用以提供相同的偏壓至訊號傳遞路徑320、330以驅動感測面板300。具體來說,由於訊號傳遞路徑320、330為對稱配置並且具有相同的等效負載,因此電壓供應電路420透過兩電阻器430、440提供相同的偏壓至訊號傳遞路徑320、330。藉此,訊號傳遞路徑320、330可以產生相同的雜訊干擾或是寄生電容效應,以便利用感測訊號SS以及參考訊號FS以形成差動訊號對。In the present embodiment, the voltage supply circuit 420 is coupled to the signal transmission paths 320 and 330 through the two resistors 430 and 440 to provide the same bias voltage to the signal transmission paths 320 and 330 to drive the sensing panel 300. In particular, since the signal transfer paths 320, 330 are symmetrically configured and have the same equivalent load, the voltage supply circuit 420 provides the same bias to the signal transfer paths 320, 330 through the two resistors 430, 440. Thereby, the signal transmission paths 320, 330 can generate the same noise interference or parasitic capacitance effect, so as to use the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS to form a differential signal pair.

舉例來說,圖4繪示圖3實施例之指紋辨識系統的訊號示意圖。請參考圖3、圖4。在本實施例中,當感測器310_1經由導通開關元件340_1,以進行感測觸控面板300的觸控區域SR1的電容值變化時,開關元件340_2~340_N可以是非導通狀態,而對應的開關元件350_1~350_N為相同的切換操作。換句話說,感測器310_1將感測的電容值C1經由訊號傳遞路徑320傳遞的至驅動電路400。相對的,開關元件340_1也為導通狀態,但是訊號傳遞路徑330不包括傳遞有觸控區域SR1的電容值C1變化的訊號波形。For example, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of signals of the fingerprint identification system of the embodiment of FIG. 3. Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4. In the embodiment, when the sensor 310_1 turns on the switching element 340_1 to sense the capacitance value of the touch area SR1 of the touch panel 300, the switching elements 340_2 340 340_N may be in a non-conducting state, and the corresponding switch Elements 350_1~350_N are the same switching operation. In other words, the sensor 310_1 transmits the sensed capacitance value C1 to the driving circuit 400 via the signal transmission path 320. In contrast, the switching element 340_1 is also in an on state, but the signal transmission path 330 does not include a signal waveform in which the capacitance value C1 of the touch area SR1 is transmitted.

在訊號的傳遞過程中,訊號傳遞路徑330本身或是未進行感測的感測器310_2~310_N可能具有寄生電容,或者是開關元件340_2~340_N本身貢獻的電容值C2~CN所導致產生的雜訊。因此,驅動電路400接收的感測訊號SS的訊號波形將包括有觸控區域SR1的電容值變化以及其他雜訊干擾。然而,訊號傳遞路徑330與訊號傳遞路徑320對稱配置,可用以產生相同的雜訊干擾,因此驅動電路400接收的參考訊號FS將包括相同於訊號傳遞路徑320的雜訊干擾的訊號波形。During the transmission of the signal, the signal transmission path 330 itself or the unsensed sensor 310_2~310_N may have a parasitic capacitance, or may be caused by the capacitance values C2~CN contributed by the switching elements 340_2~340_N themselves. News. Therefore, the signal waveform of the sensing signal SS received by the driving circuit 400 will include the capacitance value change of the touch area SR1 and other noise interference. However, the signal transmission path 330 is symmetrically disposed with the signal transmission path 320 and can be used to generate the same noise interference. Therefore, the reference signal FS received by the driving circuit 400 will include the same signal waveform as the noise interference of the signal transmission path 320.

也就是說,在本實施例中,驅動電路400可依據感測訊號SS以及參考訊號FS所形成的差動訊號對進行差值運算,以消除感測訊號SS當中的雜訊干擾。因此,驅動電路400可輸出指紋辨識訊號FIS以提供驅動電路400的下一級電路(圖上未示)進行下一階段的指紋辨識,其中指紋辨識訊號FIS可相較於感測訊號SS具有較少的雜訊干擾,甚至是無雜訊干擾。In other words, in the embodiment, the driving circuit 400 can perform a difference operation according to the differential signal pair formed by the sensing signal SS and the reference signal FS to eliminate noise interference in the sensing signal SS. Therefore, the driving circuit 400 can output the fingerprint identification signal FIS to provide the next stage of the driving circuit 400 (not shown) for the next stage of fingerprint identification, wherein the fingerprint identification signal FIS can be less than the sensing signal SS. Noise interference, even no noise interference.

需注意的是,圖4為訊號示意圖,圖4的電容值C1為代表感測器310_1感測感測區域SR1的電容值,而電容值C2~CN僅用以表示訊號傳遞路徑320、330上以及開關元件340_1~340_N、350_1~350_N的可能存在的等效電容值。It should be noted that FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the signal. The capacitance value C1 of FIG. 4 represents the capacitance value of the sensing area SR1 of the sensor 310_1, and the capacitance values C2~CN are only used to indicate the signal transmission path 320, 330. And possible equivalent capacitance values of the switching elements 340_1 340 340_N, 350_1 ~ 350_N.

No longer.

綜上所述,在本發明的實施例中,指紋辨識系統利用配置在感測面板當中的兩訊號傳遞路徑分別傳遞感測訊號以及參考訊號,其中指紋辨識系統藉由兩訊號傳遞路徑對稱配置以使兩訊號傳遞路徑具有相同的負載以及雜訊干擾,因此感測訊號以及參考訊號包括有相同的雜訊。藉此,驅動電路利用感測訊號以及參考訊號形成差動訊號對以進行差值運算,可有效的消除解決訊號在訊號傳遞路徑上的雜訊干擾,並進一步取得指紋辨識訊號。In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fingerprint identification system transmits the sensing signal and the reference signal respectively by using two signal transmission paths disposed in the sensing panel, wherein the fingerprint identification system is symmetrically configured by the two signal transmission paths. The two signal transmission paths have the same load and noise interference, so the sensing signal and the reference signal include the same noise.
