Description

Touch control induction circuit, Apparatus and system and its method of operating
Technical field
The present invention, relevant for touch-control sensing system, is particularly to have the touch-control sensing system of Passive Mode.
Background technology
Touch-control sensing is one of important man-computer interface of electronic system, is widely used on many electronic installations.For example intelligent mobile phone, notebook computer, panel computer etc. modern can not one day or scarce consumption electronic products, and just a large amount of contact panels that use are as main man-computer interface.
As everyone knows, the electronic system with touch-control sensing function comprises Touch Zone, and the finger or the pointer that are available for users to contact.In general, current touch-control sensing system has resistance-type, condenser type, optical profile type, surface acoustic wave type etc. technology.Wherein, capacitive touch control techniques is used on the touch control screen of medium and small-sized mostly, becomes the mainstream technology of application quantity maximum on market.
Please refer to shown in Fig. 1 its intelligent mobile phone that is existing known techniques or board device 100.This device 100 includes casing 110, and on this casing, topmost man-computer interface is touch control screen 120 and at least one button 130.The function of button 130 is only limited to switchgear 100 and/or switch touch control screen 120, and user is by all functions of above-mentioned touch control screen 120 these devices 100 of operation.
