Embodiment
About the active capacitive touch pen of the present invention, one preferred embodiment refers to shown in Fig. 1, in a body 10, be mainly provided with more than one control module 20 and a power module 30, this control module 20 is electrically connected with power module 30, by its supply working power.This body 10 has a front end, and its front end is provided with more than one induction pieces 11, and in the present embodiment, this body 10 front end is provided with an induction pieces 11, and this induction pieces 11 and control module 20 are electrically connected, and receives to respond to or transmits drive singal.
Refer to shown in Fig. 2, aforementioned control module 20 comprises more than one signal detection circuit 21, more than one signal strength detection circuit 22, controller 23 and more than one driving signal generator 24; In the present embodiment, be mainly made up of signal detection circuit 21, signal strength detection circuit 22, controller 23 and a driving signal generator 24; Wherein: this signal detection circuit 21 has an input end and an output terminal, its output terminal is connected with the input end of signal strength detection circuit 22, the output terminal of this signal strength detection circuit 22 is connected with controller 23, this controller 23 has more than one input end and multiple output terminal, its input end is connected with signal strength detection circuit 22, and wherein an output terminal is then connected with driving signal generator 24; In the present embodiment, the output terminal of this driving signal generator 24 is switchably be connected with induction pieces 11 under controller 23 controls with the input end of signal detection circuit 21.
The active capacitive touch pen utilizing foregoing circuit to form can apply to mutual tolerance formula contact panel, and is run by following mode:
When active capacitive touch pen to contact with the induction pieces 11 of a body 10 front end or near mutual tolerance formula contact panel time, one first drive singal receiving a wherein axle line of induction transmission on mutual tolerance formula contact panel will be responded to by signal detection circuit 21, and judge its signal intensity by signal strength detection circuit 22, control this driving signal generator 24 by controller 23 again to produce one and correspond to this first drive signal strength and the second anti-phase drive singal, and transmit via induction pieces 11, then the line of induction of another axle of mutual tolerance formula contact panel will receive the first drive singal and the second drive singal respectively, and an influence value is produced via Analog-digital Converter, due to the second drive singal and the first drive singal anti-phase, therefore the influence value caused on another axle line of induction is declined, simulate the state of finger touch by this.
Because mutual tolerance formula contact panel forms a coupling capacitance Cp respectively between an axle line of induction and another axle sense line, its type of drive then sends drive singal by an axle line of induction, another axle line of induction receives analogue inductive signal, produces influence value through Analog-digital Converter; If when touching the somewhere of mutual tolerance formula contact panel with finger, by electric capacity Cf new for generation one, this electric capacity Cf connects with the coupling capacitance Cp of touch place, thus will the influence value of touch place be declined, therefore controller 23 can determine whether report a little via the influence value change judged on another axle line of induction.And active capacitive touch pen of the present invention, the phenomenon namely when simulating above-mentioned finger touch, the influence value on another axle line of induction being declined, it is when the first drive singal that the reception one axle line of induction is sent, intensity according to the first drive singal is sent a second anti-phase drive singal accordingly, thus another axle line of induction is except reception first drive singal, also the second drive singal is received, due to the second drive singal and the first drive singal anti-phase, and the first drive singal generation is reduced, the influence value of another axle line of induction is caused to decline, just as the result produced after finger touch.
As described in aforementioned, output terminal and the input end of signal detection circuit 21 of this driving signal generator 24 are switchably connected with induction pieces 11 under controller 23 controls.When controller 23 makes the input end of signal detection circuit 21 be connected with induction pieces 11, be receive the first drive singal under a receiving mode; When the input end of signal detection circuit 21 is cut off induction pieces 11 by controller 23, and when the output terminal of driving signal generator 24 and induction pieces 11 are electrically connected, be then a drive pattern, and in order to transmit the second drive singal.
Due on mutual tolerance formula contact panel wherein each line of induction of an axle be that alternately transmits the first drive singal, even if the position of active electric capacity Pointer contacts is not on the line of induction transmitting drive singal, or the drive singal that this line of induction transmits can be received, difference is intensity difference, for simulating the situation of finger touch, controller 23 will adjust the characteristic of the second drive singal according to the intensity of the first drive singal, such as based on the varying strength of the first drive singal, equal proportion ground changes the amplitude size of the second drive singal, voltage conversioning rate (slew rate) or sequential (delay), change the influence value distribution situation of touch location periphery by this, to be modeled to the profile of finger, and peak value is formed centrally in profile, and determine report point position by peak value.
Refer to shown in Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B, when the induction pieces 11 of a body 10 front end is positioned at above the line of induction Tx of transmission first drive singal, the second drive singal original amplitude that induction pieces 11 transmits to mutual tolerance formula contact panel is as shown in waveform on the right side of Fig. 3 A.If the induction pieces 11 of a body 10 front end is not positioned at above the line of induction Tx of transmission first drive singal, and when there is a distance, delta D (as shown in Figure 3 B), the first drive signal strength that now this first drive signal strength received by signal detection circuit 21 is received under being less than Fig. 3 A situation, therefore the second drive singal of transmitting to mutual tolerance formula contact panel of induction pieces 11 by corresponding first drive signal strength amplitude contraction (on the right side of Fig. 3 B shown in waveform), the size geometric ratio of amplitude is in induction pieces 11 and the distance, delta D transmitting the first drive singal line of induction Tx, namely distance, delta D is larger, amplitude is less.Because the second drive signal amplitude diminishes, for another axle line of induction receive the first drive singal the degree that reduces diminish, its influence value fall also diminishes.
Another embodiment discloses, if during according to the first drive singal of varying strength to adjust the sequential of the second drive singal, refer to shown in Fig. 4 A, Fig. 4 B, when the induction pieces 11 of a body 10 front end is positioned at above the line of induction Tx of transmission first drive singal, induction pieces 11 to mutual tolerance formula contact panel transmit the second drive singal pulse wave sequential be as shown in waveform on the right side of Fig. 4 A.If the induction pieces 11 of a body 10 front end is not positioned at above the line of induction Tx of transmission first drive singal, and when there is a distance, delta D (as shown in Figure 4 B), then control module 20 will be delayed and transmit the second drive singal to mutual tolerance formula contact panel (on the right side of Fig. 4 B shown in waveform) by induction pieces 11, when the second drive singal is more early sent, the time first drive singal generation being reduced to impact is longer, that is the influence value on another axle line of induction can decline more; Otherwise the second drive singal is more sent evening, the time affecting the first drive singal is shorter, and the influence value on another axle line of induction declines less.As for the time length geometric ratio delayed in induction pieces 11 and the distance, delta D transmitting the first drive singal line of induction Tx, distance, delta D is less, and the first drive signal strength is stronger, more early sends the second drive singal; Distance, delta D is larger, and the first drive signal strength is more weak, more sends the second drive singal evening.
Moreover alleged voltage conversioning rate (slew rate) refers to that pulse wave electric voltage is raised to the time needed for crest by trough, is also dv/dt.When voltage conversioning rate height, energy is comparatively strong, and when voltage conversioning rate is low, then energy is relatively weak.Therefore, if during according to the first drive singal of varying strength to adjust the voltage conversioning rate of the second drive singal, refer to shown in Fig. 5 A, Fig. 5 B, when the induction pieces 11 of a body 10 front end is positioned at above the line of induction Tx of transmission first drive singal, induction pieces 11 has larger voltage conversioning rate (as shown in waveform on the right side of Fig. 5 A) to the second drive signal waveform that mutual tolerance formula contact panel transmits.If above the line of induction Tx that the induction pieces 11 of a body 10 front end is not positioned at transmission first drive singal and when there is a distance, delta D (as shown in Figure 5 B), induction pieces 11 will reduce its voltage conversioning rate (on the right side of Fig. 5 B shown in waveform) to the second drive singal that mutual tolerance formula contact panel transmits, and the amplitude geometric ratio that voltage conversioning rate reduces is in induction pieces 11 and the distance transmitting the first drive singal line of induction Tx.Namely this first drive signal strength is stronger, makes the voltage conversioning rate of this second drive singal higher, to improve the energy of the second drive singal; When this first drive signal strength is more weak, then reduce the voltage conversioning rate of this second drive singal, to provide more low-energy second drive singal.
