Embodiment
The present invention is further illustrated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.
The scanning configuration of two-dimentional capacitive transducer involved in the present invention, it has the single-layer electrodes group that is laid in a side is single-layer electrodes, please refer to the wire structures of electrode layer shown in Figure 11, described electrode layer 1 is made up of a plurality of electrode groups 10, described each electrode group 10 all has two touch-control electrodes, is respectively positive touch-control electrode 11 and negative touch-control electrode 12.Described positive touch-control electrode 11 is arranged in opposite directions with described negative touch-control electrode 12, and the electrode on direction is laid in the void area between another direction electrode respectively.
The present invention adopts in the above-mentioned electrode layer 1 during line by line or by column scan, scans two rows or two columns simultaneously at every turn, obtains the electric capacity difference of two rows or two columns then, and above-mentioned capacitance difference Value Data is handled the particular location that finally draws touch object.Specifically: if described electrode layer 1 total n electrode group 10, the described electrode group of sequential scanning one by one then, when scanning for the first time, positive touch-control electrode 11 in first group of electrode 10 is held as scanning S, with the negative touch-control electrode 12 in first group of electrode 10 as holding with reference to R, the all unsettled or equal ground connection of other group electrode 10 this moment, detecting scanning for the first time obtains first group of data X1; When scanning for the second time, positive touch-control electrode 11 in second group of electrode 10 is held as scanning S, as holding with reference to R, this moment, other organized all unsettled or equal ground connection of electrode 10 with the negative touch-control electrode 12 in second group of electrode 10, and detecting scans for the second time and obtains first group of data X2; When scanning for the N time, as scanning S end, as holding with reference to R, all unsettled or equal ground connection of other group electrode 10 this moment is detected the N time scanning and is obtained first group of data Xn with the negative touch-control electrode 12 in the N group electrode 10 with the positive touch-control electrode 11 in the N group electrode 10; The first group of data X1 that calculates above-mentioned acquisition to Xn's and, be formulated as follows:
Figure 872585DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
When touch object is touched above-mentioned capacitive transducer from left to right, with an electrode group is example, as described in Figure 2 the induction amount of will detecting is with the oscillogram of directions X change in location, touch object is when the left side, the induction amount of this moment detecting on the occasion of maximum, with constantly moving to right of touch object, induction measures and has showed negative maximal value.Because the electric capacity that is calculated as scanning S termination electrode of induction poor with reference to the electric capacity of R termination electrode, so touch object is when the leftmost side, scan the contact area maximum of S termination electrode this moment, with reference to the contact area minimum of R termination electrode, so the induction maximum of detecting; With touch object constantly move to right to the centre position time, scanning S termination electrode and equate that with reference to the contact area of R termination electrode the induction that detect this moment is zero; When touch object slid into low order end, scanned the contact area minimum of S termination electrode this moment, and with reference to the contact area maximum of R termination electrode, the induction of detecting this moment is maximum, and is negative value.
Because in the present invention, if calculate the data that produce when the position coordinates of directions X need utilize Y direction detecting position coordinates, so the particular location coordinate after the touch object touching on the Y direction is specifically discussed by following elder generation: the difference measurement electric capacity of principle need introduce to(for) the location point coordinate on the Y direction, so-called difference measurement is meant: after capacitive transducer powers on, sweep trace begins scanning, when touching without any input media, the variation of the capacitance of whole capacitor sensor is tending towards a steady state value, and this steady state value is zero under perfect condition.And when any input equipment such as this capacitive transducer of finger touches, this capacitance will change, after scanning for the first time, when scanning again for the second time, two capacitances of same position have just formed a difference, so just having formed is just having, is having negative capacitance, has promptly finally formed to have minimum and maximum capacitance, finally judges the particular location of touch object in view of the above.
First group of electrode 10 in the above-mentioned electrode layer 1 all held as scanning S, be about to positive touch-control electrode 11 in first group of electrode 10 and negative touch-control electrode 12 and be arranged to conducting at chip internal, this moment, each electrode group 10 was all regarded a rectangle as, die tactic second group of touch-control electrode 10 as holding with reference to R, when scanning for the first time, with all unsettled or equal ground connection of tactic other group electrode; When scanning for the second time, with second group of electrode 10 in the above-mentioned electrode layer 1 all as scanning S end, with tactic the 3rd group of electrode 10 all as holding with reference to R, all unsettled or equal ground connection of other touch-control electrode 10 at this moment; According to above-mentioned scan method, order is finished the scan setting on the Y direction and is obtained data.
Please refer to shown in Figure 3, in the data that above-mentioned scanning Y-axis obtains, form a para-curve, at first detect the data that described electrode group scanning back produces, find out the maximum in the data, the minimum influence value of producing on the sweep trace that described electrode group connected respectively, do further to judge and handle according to the maximum that is obtained, minimum influence value then.Be located on the sweep trace that the electrode group 10 on the described electrode layer 1 connected and all detected data, and maximum influence value M and minimum influence value N have occurred, wherein, maximum influence value M be on the occasion of, minimum influence value N is a negative value; Then judge then with sweep trace that the electrode group is connected on the maximum influence value M that produced whether greater than the positive threshold influence value M0 of preset in advance, whether the minimum influence value N that is produced is less than the negative threshold influence value N0 of preset in advance, whether promptly judge maximum influence value M greater than positive threshold influence value M0, whether minimum influence value N is less than negative threshold influence value N0 simultaneously; If satisfy above-mentioned two conditions, then continue again to check whether pass through zero influence value between above-mentioned maximum, minimum influence value M, the N; If passed through zero influence value between adjacent arbitrarily maximum, minimum influence value M, the N, then show the touch object touching is arranged, and the point that passes through zero influence value is exactly the touch points position coordinates, as can be seen from Figure 3, having only influence value is to have satisfied the condition of passing through zero influence value between the maximum of M and N, the minimum influence value, illustrate that then there is the touch object touching this position, and this position of passing through zero influence value promptly is the position coordinates that touch object is touched described capacitive transducer.
After obtaining the position coordinates on the above-mentioned Y direction, just can determine the position coordinates on the directions X.Concrete grammar is as follows: carry out numerical value behind the integration with first group of data X1 of above-mentioned acquisition to Xn's with divided by the para-curve that the data that position point coordinate on the above-mentioned Y direction produces form, multiply by a constant C again and get final product.Wherein constant C is the constant relevant with resolution, can adjust according to the result.
We have drawn the location point coordinate of touch object on directions X and Y direction by said method, have finally determined the particular location coordinate of touch object.Scanning collocation method of the present invention has not only improved interference free performance, and judges the particular location of touch object fast and accurately.
The present invention is at the coordinate time of judging on the Y direction, adopt and scan two electrode groups simultaneously and obtain the particular location that corresponding data are finally determined sensor, therefore use same principle, scan two particular locations that also should determine sensor with the top electrode group simultaneously, but need an even numbers electrode group this moment, wherein half individual electrode group of even numbers is used for reference electrode, and second half adjacent successively electrode group is as the reference end.So even extraneous the existence under the situation about disturbing also can reduce to the full extent to disturb, so antijamming capability strengthens; And in whole scan setting, above-mentioned introducing with reference to the R end not only is provided with more convenient, and change flexibly, disturbs under the consistent situation with the S end at R, even can get rid of interference; Moreover, localization method of the present invention, not only simple, and can judge the particular location of touch point fast and accurately.
