Embodiment
Fig. 5 is the synoptic diagram of the contact panel that comprises control circuit 501 500 realized according to one embodiment of the present of invention.Control circuit 501 is for the touching detection mode that determines contact panel 500, and testing circuit 502 is generations of the touch event (touch event) for detection of contact panel 500.In present embodiment, control circuit 501 includes but is not limited to treatment circuit 510 and decision-making circuit 520, and wherein decision-making circuit 520 comprises computing unit 521 and determines unit 522; And Fig. 6 is for being applied to the schematic flow sheet of the control method of contact panel according to one embodiment of the present of invention.If can reach identical result substantially, the step order that does not need necessarily to shine in the flow process shown in Figure 6 is carried out, and step shown in Figure 6 not necessarily will carry out continuously, that is other step also can be inserted wherein; The detail operations step is as described below:
Step 601: with the first sweep frequency F ADetection is to obtain capacitance C A
Step 603: with the second sweep frequency F BDetection is to obtain capacitance C B
Step 605: detect capacitance C AWith capacitance C BRatio C A/ C BWhether drop on outside the preset range.If then execution in step 607, otherwise, get back to step 601.
Step 607: the touching detection mode of adjusting contact panel.
Please in the lump with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.In one embodiment of the present of invention, flow process shown in Figure 6 is carried out by control circuit shown in Figure 5 501.At first, treatment circuit 510 can be used the first sweep frequency F earlier A Detect contact panel 500 corresponding capacitance C A, to produce the first testing result R A, then use the second sweep frequency F again BDetect contact panel 500 corresponding capacitance C B, to produce the second testing result R B, the second sweep frequency F wherein BBe different from the first sweep frequency F AIn the middle of present embodiment, the second sweep frequency F BBe to be higher than the first sweep frequency F AA frequency (that is F A<F B).Referring again to Fig. 7, it is the control method detected correlation parameter table in test according to one embodiment of the present of invention.As shown in Figure 7, with the first lower sweep frequency F AWhen detecting, when user and contact panel 500 have common earthing potential (commonground), its detected capacitance C A1Be 39, and be total to earthing potential, its detected capacitance C when 500 of user and contact panels A2Be 37, capacitance does not have obvious variation, and this is that the difference of capacitance can be more not obvious because when scanning with low frequency, thereby reduces for the influence of earthing potential altogether.Yet lower sweep frequency is also representing the minimizing of touching induction sensitivity simultaneously, therefore, only reduces sweep frequency and can't solve substantive issue effectively.
Referring again to Fig. 7, with the second higher sweep frequency F BDuring detection, when the user operates in the mode of the body of handheld touch panel 500, that is user and contact panel 500 be when having common earthing potential, its detected capacitance C B1Be 35, and be total to earthing potential, its detected capacitance C when 500 of user and contact panels B2Be 24, compared to using the first lower sweep frequency F AThe time resulting capacitance C A, the second sweep frequency F BDetected capacitance C BCan have or not common earthing potential that bigger capacitance variation is arranged because of user and 500 of contact panels.Thereby spirit of the present invention just is to use the variation of the capacitance of different frequency scanning gained and confirms that user and 500 of contact panels have or not common earthing potential, further to adjust the touching detection mode of contact panel 500.
In this embodiment, treatment circuit 510 is at first used the first sweep frequency F ADetect the first capacitance C A1(that is first testing result), then, treatment circuit 510 is used the second sweep frequency F again BSimilarly detect the second capacitance C B1(that is second testing result).In the embodiment of Fig. 7, suppose that 500 of user and contact panels have common earthing potential, the first capacitance C A1=39, and the second capacitance C B1=35.Computing unit 521 can then calculate the first capacitance C A1With the second capacitance C B1Ratio C A1/ C B1(in this example, ratio C A1/ C B1Be about 1.11).Then, determine unit 522 can determine ratio C A1/ C B1Whether fall into preset range, and judge ratio C A1/ C B1Whether surpass this preset range, to determine whether to adjust the touching detection mode of contact panel 500.For instance, in this embodiment, this preset range is 0.75~1.25, every ratio that drops in this preset range, it is little namely to represent contact panel 500 detected capacitance variation amount in two different sweep frequencies, therefore user and 500 of contact panels have common earthing potential as can be known, so determine unit 522 just contact panel 500 can be adjusted to suitable touching detection mode.
Suppose that after a period of time the user no longer operates in the mode of the body of handheld touch panel 500, that is as 500 of user and contact panels altogether during earthing potential, the first capacitance C A2=37, and the second capacitance C B2=24.Computing unit 521 can then calculate the first capacitance C A2With the second capacitance C B2Ratio C A2/ C B2(in this example, ratio C A2/ C B2Be about 1.54).In this example, determine unit 522 can judge ratio C A1/ C B1Surpass this preset range (that is 0.75~1.25), thereby determined to adjust its touching detection mode.For instance, the gain that contact panel 500 can be selected temporarily to downgrade its sweep frequency, strengthen testing circuit 502 in the contact panel 500, or the accurate position of the judgement that downgrades testing circuit 502, to improve when the user is total to earthing potential with 500 of contact panels testing circuit 502 detected signal intensities.
Yet above-described embodiment only is the usefulness of explanation, is not to be used as to limit the scope of the invention, and for instance, computing unit 521 also can change into and calculate the first capacitance C AWith the second capacitance C BDifference C A-C B, and determine unit 522 also can judge difference C A-C BWhether fall into and decide touching detection mode how to adjust contact panel 500 in the preset range, shown in the step 805 of Fig. 8, it, and the variation in this design also falls within the scope of the present invention if being the synoptic diagram of another embodiment of step 605 among Fig. 6.
In sum, the invention provides a kind of simple and easy and accurate control method decides the touching detection mode of contact panel, no matter it can be when user and contact panel have or not common earthing potential, all contact panel can be adjusted to best touching detection mode, and then promote accuracy and degree of stability that touching detects.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all equivalent variations and modifications of doing according to claim of the present invention all should belong to covering scope of the present invention.
