Embodiment
Below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing thereof the present invention is illustrated further.
Now see also Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention.As shown in the figure, described passive type (Passive) IC framework 10 is in order to scan contact panel 16.Described contact panel 16 has the stitching TR0 to TRm as the line of induction, and passive type IC framework 10 comprises that a main IC 12 and a secondary IC 14 connect contact panel 16, for example, connect stitching TR0 to TRm.Main IC 12 scans the action of contact panel 16 and the required parameter that scans is provided by universal transport interface 13 control secondary IC 14.In one embodiment, main IC 12 produces instruction and sends secondary IC 14 to set the parameter that scans that it scans contact panel 16 by universal transport interface 13, and secondary IC 14 scans contact panel 16 in response to described instruction with the described parameter that scans.For example, main IC12 sets secondary IC 14 via described instruction and scans stitching TR0 to TRm, and secondary IC 14 scans stitching TR0 to TRm in response to described instruction.The scan data that secondary IC 14 will obtain after will scanning sends main IC 12 to by universal transport interface 13,12 pairs of scan datas from secondary IC 14 of main IC are judged, to determine whether to reset the parameter that scans of secondary IC 14, make secondary IC 14 scan contact panel 16 once more.For example, when the data that scans from secondary IC 14 is judged through main IC 12, during the point phenomenon of thinking that there's something fishy, main IC 12 produces new instruction and sets the subregion that secondary IC 14 scans contact panel 16, the zone of ghost point phenomenon for example may take place, therefore secondary IC 14 scans stitching TRk, TRi, TRh and TRj on the possible ghost point position 18 and 20 in response to described new instruction, judges the actual position of object on contact panel 16 by main IC 12 according to scan data again, solves ghost and puts phenomenon.In one embodiment, when main IC 12 thinks that scan data from secondary IC 14 occurs when unusual, analog digital conversion (Analogy DigitalConvert for example; ADC) be worth when too high or too low, main IC 12 will reset the parameter that scans of secondary IC 14, and make secondary IC 14 scan contact panel 16 once more.
In the present embodiment, secondary IC 14 adopts existing touch-control (TouchPad) IC, and for example therefore array condenser type (Projected Capacitance) touch-control IC must not change hardware, can not increase manufacturing cost.Universal transport interface 13 comprises internal integration circuit (Inter-Integrated Circuit; I 2C) or Serial Peripheral Interface (SerialPeripheral Interface; SPI).The parameter that scans that secondary IC 14 scans contact panel 16 comprises the stitching that scans, scans pattern and scan analog parameter etc., and main IC 12 can scan parameter to described grade and adjust and set.As shown in Figure 2, main IC 12 sets scanning stitching and scanning analog parameter of secondary IC 14 by universal transport interface 13, for example, the scope that scans that main IC 12 sets secondary IC 14 is stitching TR0 to TR7, and the analog parameter that scans that scans stitching TR0TR7 use, as gaining, scan the accurate position of time and displacement etc., secondary IC 14 scans stitching TR0 to TR7 with the analog parameter of setting that scans.As shown in Figure 3, main IC 12 sets the combination of the stitching that secondary IC 14 scan by universal transport interface 13, for example, the stitching (TR0, TR1, TR2, TR3) that main IC 12 will be as shown in Figure 4 under the condition that the internal memory of secondary IC 14 is allowed is set among the secondary IC 14 with the combination of stitching (TR4, TR5, TR6, TR7).When ghost point phenomenon took place, main IC 12 assigned the instruction that combination scans, and secondary IC 14 scans according to the stitching combination of described instruction to possible ghost point position, with the position of correct judgement object on contact panel 16.As shown in Figure 5, the pattern that scans that main IC 12 sets secondary IC 14 by universal transport interface 13 is for scanning in proper order, and secondary IC 14 scans stitching TR0, TR1, TR2 in regular turn ...As shown in Figure 6, main IC 12 sets secondary IC 14 by universal transport interface 13 the pattern that scans scans for specifying, and 14 of secondary IC scan the stitching of main IC 12 appointments, for example stitching TR1 and TR6.
Fig. 7 shows the second embodiment of the present invention, and passive type IC framework 22 is in order to scan contact panel 16.Contact panel 16 has the stitching TR0 to TRm as the line of induction, and passive type IC framework 22 comprises main IC 12 and secondary IC 24 and 26, and secondary IC 24 and 26 connects stitching TR0 to TRn and stitching TRn+I to TRm respectively.Main IC 12 by universal transport interface 13 control respectively secondary IC 24 and 26 scan the action of stitching TR0 to TRn and stitching TRn+1 to TRm and provide must scan parameter.In the present embodiment, secondary IC 24 and 26 adopts existing touch-control IC, and for example therefore array capacitance touching control IC must not change hardware, can not increase manufacturing cost.Universal transport interface 13 comprises I 2C or SPI.Main IC 12 control secondary IC 24 and 26 operation be embodiment as the aforementioned, no longer repeats.Because secondary IC 24 and 26 can scan simultaneously and each only is responsible for scanning the part stitching, suppose m=40 and n=20, therefore as long as cost scans the time of 20 stitchings just can be scanned the contact panel 16 with 40 stitchings one time, improve capture speed effectively.
Fig. 8 shows the third embodiment of the present invention, contact panel 16 is divided into four zones 38,40,42 and 44, passive type IC framework comprises a main IC 12 and four secondary IC 30,32,34 and 36, and secondary IC 30,32,34 and 36 is join domain 38,40,42 and 44 respectively.Main IC 12 controls the parameter that scans that secondary IC 30,32,34 and 36 scans zone 38,40,42 and 44 action and institute's palpus is provided respectively by universal transport interface 13.In the present embodiment, secondary IC 30,32,34 and 36 adopts existing touch-control IC, and for example therefore array capacitance touching control IC must not change hardware, can not increase manufacturing cost.Universal transport interface 13 comprises I 2C or SPI.Main IC 12 control secondary IC 30,32,34 and 36 operation be embodiment as the aforementioned, no longer repeats.Because secondary IC 30,32,34 and 36 can scan simultaneously and each only is responsible for scanning the subregion of contact panel 16, so can improve capture speed effectively.
In addition, can change the quantity of secondary IC, by the secondary IC of a main IC control varying number according to the requirement of time.
The present invention adopts the design concept of entirely passive type, the motion flow of secondary IC is controlled by a main IC, secondary IC only just does corresponding action when main IC assigns instruction, for example the parameter that scans with correspondence scans contact panel, secondary IC do not obtain main IC instruction during, for example do not obtain scan parameter during, be idle armed state.Because secondary IC scans the parameter that scans of contact panel and is provided by main IC, secondary IC must not write different firmwares in advance and set different analog parameters with correspondence different scan stitching, can use identical firmware, the motion flow of described firmware is controlled by main IC, therefore the secondary IC that scans the contact panel zones of different can exchange each other, also can set the new parameter that scans via main IC once more the subregion of contact panel is scanned according to the result that scans of reality, secondary IC can be by standardization, thereby can reuse, significantly increase application elasticity and the effective utilization of secondary IC.
Above embodiment is only for the usefulness that the present invention is described, but not limitation of the present invention, person skilled in the relevant technique under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can also be made various conversion or variation.Therefore, all technical schemes that are equal to also should belong to category of the present invention, should be limited by each claim.
