Consult shown in Fig. 1, cover testing circuit 100 and comprise control module 110, light signal producing component 120, light signal receiving element 130 and a discriminating element 140.
Control module 110 can be microcontroller, embedded controller (EmbeddedController).In the present invention one preferred embodiment, control module 110 is an embedded controller, in order to the keyboard controller (Keyboardcontroller, KBC) as cover-lifting type electronic device 900; Through the design of firmware, control module 110, except possessing the original function of keyboard controller, further possesses the function covering the control module 110 of testing circuit 100 of the present invention.Control module 110 is in order to produce enable signal; And setting one recognition coding in control module 110, and producing enable signal according to recognition coding, the optical coding signals that light signal producing component 120 is produced can carry recognition coding.
Light signal producing component 120 can be the small light emitting source launching invisible light, such as infrared light-emitting diode; But light signal producing component 120 also can be the small light emitting source launching visible ray, as visible light emitting diode.In order to avoid the running of light signal producing component 120 affects the vision of user in practice, if when using visible ray, by code rate modulation to the speed that human eye vision can be allowed to persist, reach outward appearance and beautify with the function of decoration and have the identical object of this case.Light signal producing component 120 is to launch invisible light person for the best.Light signal producing component 120 is electrically coupled to control module 110, receives enable signal and produces an optical coding signals.Control module 110 produces enable signal according to recognition coding, the optical coding signals that light signal producing component 120 is produced is in modes such as flicker, peak change, carry aforesaid recognition coding, make optical coding signals and arround there is otherness between the light signal that produces of light source.
Light signal receiving element 130 is in order to receive external optical signals and to be converted to measured signal.Wherein, the spectrum of the optical coding signals that light signal producing component 120 sends, drop in spectral range that light signal receiving element 130 can receive, so as to distinguish further through spectral range optical coding signals and arround difference between the light signal that produces of light source.
Discriminating element 140 is in order to obtain the measured signal of light signal receiving element 130, and the difference of foundation measured signal and optical coding signals, differentiate whether measured signal drops in the error tolerance of optical coding signals, and after differentiation measured signal is in the error tolerance of optical coding signals, sends one and cover the host electronic circuit 800 of signal to cover-lifting type electronic device 900.
Discriminating element 140 differentiates that the mode of the difference of measured signal and optical coding signals is: discriminating element 140 receives measured signal, according to the change (flicker, peak change etc.) of measured signal, changes measured signal into a feedback and encodes; The difference of the discriminating element 140 then recognition coding of comparison feedback coding and optical coding signals, to differentiate whether measured signal drops in the error tolerance of optical coding signals.
Due to the transmission of light signal, arround being easily subject to, light source disturbed; Even if light signal receiving element 130 directly receives optical coding signals and is converted to measured signal, feedback encoding and identification coding between still may exist part fragment delivery mistake or or transmits unsuccessfully, and make feedback encoding and identification coding between there is difference.Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention sets error tolerance for optical coding signals; As long as the difference between feedback encoding and identification coding is not too large, measured signal is still dropped in error tolerance, just assert that light signal receiving element 130 directly receives optical coding signals and is converted to measured signal.
Discriminating element 140 can be a microcontroller, an embedded controller or a keyboard controller, through the setting of firmware, makes it reach and differentiates whether measured signal drops on the function in the error tolerance of optical coding signals.Control module 110 and discriminating element 140 can pass through single element (microcontroller, an embedded controller or a keyboard controller) simultaneously or sequentially perform different procedure code fragments and reached, that is in specific embodiments of the invention, control module 110 and discriminating element 140 can be combined into single element.In cover-lifting type electronic device 900, discriminating element 140 more can be central processing unit, is electrically connected on control module 110 by bus; Central processing unit, after Storage Media is loaded into a procedure code and performs, can realize the function of discriminating element 140.
