Pressure sensing module 19 is that coding pressure difference value is pressure signal in order to according to the first timing distribution in the first signal, and according to the second timing distribution in the first signal, at least one bit in output pressure signal.For example, pressure sensing module 19 can be coupled to touch-control module 11, and in order to sense the pressure difference value that touch-control module 11 produces, and whether the first signal detecting contact panel output the first timing distribution occurs.For square wave, first timing distribution can be multiple continuous print square wave, and pressure sensing module 19 is when receiving multiple continuous print square wave, whether the number of times that can calculate square-wave pulse rising meets reference number of times, judges whether the first signal received occurs meeting the first timing distribution according to this.When the pulse rise times that pressure-sensing signal judges the first signal meets reference number of times, being considered as detecting the first timing distribution from the first signal, now, it is pressure signal that pressure sensing module 19 encodes pressure difference value.
After pressure difference value is encoded to pressure signal by pressure sensing module 19, pressure sensing module 19 is by whether the first signal of detection contact panel output the second timing distribution occurs, and according in the second timing distribution, the signal that each pulse rises, respectively at least one bit in output pressure signal.Continue for square wave, when the signal that pressure signal is 7 bits of pressure sensing module 19 coding, contact panel can export 7 square waves as the second timing distribution, pressure sensing module 19 then can when each square-wave pulse of the second timing distribution rises, and a bit of output pressure signal is to contact panel.
The header signal of active pointer 10, except coding pressure signal, can also be merged coding together with pressure signal, be transmitted further to contact panel by pressure sensing module 19.When contact panel receives the information comprising header signal and pressure signal, contact panel can according to the header signal received when handing over and holding communications protocol, it is judged that whether the pressure signal that active pointer transmits is correct.Accordingly, when having finger to be contacted with on contact panel with active pointer 10 simultaneously, contact panel may determine that the device system of contact is finger or active pointer 10, thus setting the track width value of display track on the coordinate position of active pointer 10 contact point.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, whether above-mentioned pressure sensing module 19 identification the first signal there is the first timing distribution and the action of the second timing distribution, can also be performed by controlling module 17, and exported to pressure sensing module 19 by controlling the result that will determine that of module 17, control pressure sensing module 19 according to this and encode pressure difference value and output pressure signal.
Refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, Fig. 2 is the block diagram of the active pointer drawn according to another embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 3 is the block diagram of the active pointer drawn according to yet another embodiment of the invention, as shown in the figure, active pointer 30 has touch-control module 31, handover module 33, signal comparison module 35, control module 37, signal amplification module 38, pressure sensing module 39, wherein touch-control module 31, touch-control module 11 shown in handover module 33 and signal comparison module the 35 and the 1st figure, handover module 13 and signal comparison module 15 are substantially the same, in this, it will not go into details.
Embodiment shown in Fig. 2 is discrepant with the embodiment shown in the 1st figure, and the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 more comprises signal amplification module 38.Signal amplification module 38 is coupled between touch-control module 31 and handover module 33, in order to amplify the first signal detected by touch-control module 31, and exports the first signal after amplifying to handover module 33.Signal amplifier 38 such as can receive the first signal from input Vin, and after the first signal is amplified or converted to the signal of impulse form, then from output end vo ut output to handover module.
In this embodiment, controlling module 37 and more comprise boost module 371, boost module 371 is coupled to touch-control module 31, in order to by control module 37 to transmit promoted to the signal of touch-control module 31 or voltage after export again to touch-control module 31.The mode of promotion signal can be to increase the amplitude of signal or convert a signal into pulse, and promotes the size of pulse.For example, after signal comparison module 35 compares intensity and the reference value of the first signal, output secondary signal is to controlling module 37.Control module 37 and may utilize after boost module 371 promotes secondary signal, then by secondary signal output to touch-control module 31.Signal comparison module 35 compares the intensity of the first signal and the mode of reference value, can be the magnitude of voltage in the middle of the size of the amplitude comparing the first signal, the first maximum crest of signal and minimum crest or the voltage difference of maximum crest and minimum crest, or other can compare the mode of the first signal intensity, the present invention is not any limitation as.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, pressure sensing module 39 can comprise capacitive pressure sensing module 391 and frequency counting module 393.Capacitive pressure sensing module 391 is to cooperate with producing the touch-control module 31 of capacitance variations, write because of user or draw the capacitance change caused in order to sense touch-control module 31, and the variable quantity of electric capacity per second is calculated by frequency counting module 393, calculate the pressure size of pen when user is write or draws according to this, and calculated for frequency counting module 393 pressure size is changed and is encoded to pressure signal, output is given and is controlled module 37.
Another in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, pressure sensing module 39 can also be the combination of resistive pressure sensing module 395 and analog-digital converter 397.The electric bridge that resistive pressure sensing module 395 can form for variable resistance, write because of user or draw the voltage variety caused in order to sense touch-control module 31, and by analog-digital converter 397, voltage variety is converted to pressure difference value, calculate the pressure signal used with corresponding to a pressure according to this.For example, resistive pressure sensing module 395 presets every g with a pressure corresponding to 0.05 volt of (Volt, V) voltage variety, when user uses use the pressure of 10 g, resistive pressure sensing module 395 and digital analog converter 397 will calculate the 0.5V voltage variety of correspondence.Be about 0.167 with the ratio that maximum voltage variety is 3V, 0.5V and 3V, then instruction contact panel is set track width value as 0.167 times of maximum track width by corresponding pressure signal.
Refer to the flow chart that Fig. 4, Fig. 4 are the active pointer method for transmitting signals drawn according to one embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 4, in step S501, active pointer first detects the first signal produced by contact panel.The first signal intensity size that active pointer detects, closes the distance being connected in active pointer with contact panel.When the distance of active pointer Yu contact panel is more near, the first signal detected by active pointer is more big.
Then, in step S503, described active pointer transmits path via first, compares intensity and the reference value of the first signal.In an embodiment, described active pointer can the first signal that further amplification detection arrives, then compare intensity and the reference value of the first signal.In this step, compare the intensity of the first signal and the distance that also can be considered the active pointer of detection and contact panel of reference value, the distance making active pointer and contact panel sufficiently closes to, or when contacting, just makes active pointer produce the transmission of signal with contact panel.
When the intensity of the first signal is more than reference value, it is considered as active pointer sufficiently close together with the distance of contact panel, therefore in step S505, output secondary signal, to contact panel, produces the coordinate position of contact point for contact panel according to the position receiving secondary signal.But, when the intensity of the first signal is not more than reference value, the distance being considered as active pointer and contact panel is insufficient to close, therefore in step S507, ignores the first signal detected.
After active pointer output secondary signal is to contact panel, in step S509, active pointer is transmitted path switching from first and is coupled to the second transmission path, the feedback signal produced during to ignore output secondary signal.For the convenient purpose that the present embodiment step S509 is described, hereby lift counter-example and illustrate.Assume when active pointer is not provided with the feedback signal that output secondary signal generation is ignored in the second transmission path, signal amplification module or the signal comparison module of active pointer will receive feedback signal, and the feedback signal received is used as the signal that contact panel provides, amplify again or compare feedback signal, then the secondary signal once caused by feedback signal is exported again, and obtain another feedback signal that output secondary signal produces, cause the signal output that cannot stop.Therefore, the present invention, when exporting secondary signal, will be transmitted path switching from first and be coupled to the second transmission path, to reach to ignore or filter the effect of feedback signal.
Then, in step S511, active pointer exports the header signal providing the active pointer of identification again to contact panel.As previously mentioned, header signal is in order to provide the status of the active pointer of contact panel identification, in this step S511, can be considered that active pointer and contact panel produce to hand over the communications protocol held, make contact panel perform the pattern for the operation of active pointer according to this.In other words, when active pointer exports header signal to contact panel, contact panel can confirm that the device of contact is active pointer, rather than the finger of passive type pointer or user, provides active pointer to set the track width value of contact point coordinate position according to this.
It follows that in step S513, when active pointer detects the first timing distribution from the first signal, coding pressure difference value is the pressure signal with multiple bit.For example, the first timing distribution can be consistent with multiple pulses rising of reference number of times.With reference number of times for three times, when active pointer detects the signal that three subpulses rise, formula is that active pointer detects the first timing distribution from the first signal, then coding pressure difference value is the pressure signal with multiple bit.The referred to user of pressure difference value does not use when using active pointer with user during active pointer, the pressure difference value of active pointer nib.In other words, when user does not use active pointer, can be pressure base value by the design of pressure of active pointer nib, when user uses active pointer write on contact panel or paint, the force value of active pointer nib deducts pressure base value, then be pressure difference value.And encode pressure difference value except the coded system common with active pointer and contact panel is except encoding pressure difference value, can also be encoded in the status of pointer active in header signal or header signal together in pressure signal simultaneously.
In step S515, when active pointer detects the second timing distribution from the first signal, according to the second timing distribution in the first signal, in output pressure signal, at least one bit is to contact panel.For example, the second timing distribution can time multiple pulses signal, described active pointer will detect the multiple pulses in the second timing distribution, according to the signal that each pulse in the second timing distribution rises, a bit in output pressure signal respectively.In other words, when the signal that pressure signal is seven bits, the second timing distribution will be seven pulses, and described active pointer when each pulse of the second timing distribution rises, will export a bit.
Refer to the flow chart that Fig. 5, Fig. 5 are the contact panel method for transmitting signals drawn according to one embodiment of the invention, as it is shown in figure 5, in step S701, contact panel exports the first signal.For capacitance type touch-control panel, when the first signal can be contact panel energising, electric field produced by surface electrode, in order to sense the capacitance change that active pointer, passive type pointer or user finger cause.
When active pointer is responded the first signal and exported secondary signal, in step S703, the secondary signal that contact panel exports according to active pointer, produce a coordinate position.Coordinate position closes the position being connected in active pointer with contact panel contact point, or pass is connected in contact panel and receives the position of secondary signal.
Then, in step S705, contact panel detects the header signal of active pointer output, with the active pointer indicated by identification header signal, confirm that the device contacted with contact panel is active pointer, thus producing to hand over the communications protocol held with active pointer.In this embodiment, after contact panel produces, with active pointer, the communications protocol that friendship is held, contact panel coordinates perform with the operator scheme controlled to the operation of active pointer.Contact panel hardware, firmware, application program or other feasible modes can coordinate active pointer to operate.
Then, in step S707, responding header signal, contact panel output meets the first signal of the first timing distribution, to require that active pointer gives pressure signal.When active pointer detects the first signal meeting the first timing distribution, by the pressure signal that coding pressure difference value is multiple bit.Then, in step S709, contact panel output meets the first signal of the second timing distribution to active pointer, in step S711, to receive the pressure signal coming from active pointer.Square-wave signal is exported with contact panel, when contact panel exports a square wave, the square-wave signal that active pointer will detect that contact panel exports, the signal just risen according to each square wave, at least one bit in output pressure signal.Contact panel, then when often exporting a square wave, receives at least one bit in pressure signal, until receiving all bits of pressure signal.
In step S713, contact panel judges pressure signal whether correct having been received by.With pressure signal for seven bits, wherein four bits can be the data bit element indicating pressure difference value, and the other three bit can be inspection bit.After contact panel exports seven square waves, contact panel will decode pressure signal, and check that whether inspection bit is correct, when checking bit correct, it is judged that the pressure signal having been received by is correct.
When the pressure signal having been received by is correct, in step S717, the coordinate position in contact panel with active Pointer contacts point sets the track width value corresponding to pressure signal.But, when the pressure signal having been received by is incorrect, in step S719, set track width value according to the front pressure signal once received.
In other embodiment of the present invention, contact panel is except after producing, with active pointer, the communications protocol that friendship is held, can actively perform to coordinate beyond the operator scheme of active pointer, user can also directly require that contact panel performs to coordinate the operator scheme of active pointer, such as user performs drawing application program, notes application program or other feasible application programs etc., active pointer is made to be able on drawing application program, pressure by user pen, with on setting touch panel, the track width value of contact point coordinate position.
Comprehensive the above, the present invention responds the first signal of contact panel by active pointer, makes contact panel sensing produce a coordinate position producing secondary signal.Then, active pointer export header signal, produce communication with contact panel and be connected, confirm that for contact panel the device of contact is active pointer.Afterwards, contact panel meets the first signal of the first timing distribution again with output, require that active pointer output pressure signal is to contact panel, with the track width value providing contact panel to set contact position according to this, reach the use pressure that contact panel energy foundation user is different, thus showing the track of different thicknesses.
Certainly; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; when without departing substantially from present invention spirit and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art are when can make various corresponding change and deformation according to the present invention, but these change accordingly and deformation all should belong to the scope of the claims appended by the present invention.
