Referring to figure 4., Fig. 4 is the stream for the active stylus method for transmitting signals drawn according to one embodiment of the invention Cheng Tu, as shown in figure 4, active stylus first detects the first signal generated by touch panel in step S501.It is active The first signal strength size that stylus detects, connection is in active stylus at a distance from touch panel.When active touching Control pen is closer at a distance from touch panel, and the first signal detected by active stylus is bigger.
Then, in step S503, the active stylus compares the intensity of the first signal via the first transmission path With reference value.In one embodiment, the active stylus can further the first signal for arriving of amplification detection, then compare The intensity and reference value of first signal.In this step, the intensity and also can be considered for reference value for comparing the first signal detect master Dynamic formula stylus is at a distance from touch panel, so that active stylus sufficiently closes at a distance from touch panel, or When contact, active stylus and touch panel is just made to generate the transmission of signal.
When the intensity of the first signal is greater than reference value, it is enough at a distance from touch panel to be considered as active stylus It is close, therefore in step S505, second signal is exported to touch panel, for touch panel according to the position for receiving second signal Generate the coordinate position of contact point.However, being considered as active stylus and touching when the intensity of the first signal is not more than reference value The distance for controlling panel is not close enough, therefore in step S507, ignore the first signal detected.
After active stylus exports second signal to touch panel, in step S509, active stylus is from The switching of one transmission path is coupled to the second transmission path, to ignore the feedback signal generated when output second signal.For convenience Illustrate the purpose of the present embodiment step S509, lifts counter-example hereby to illustrate.Assuming that active not set second transmission path of stylus Come ignore output second signal generate feedback signal when, the signal amplification module or signal comparison module of active stylus Feedback signal will be will receive, and the feedback signal received is amplified again or compared as signal provided by touch panel Then feedback signal exports the once second signal as caused by feedback signal again, and obtain the another of output second signal generation A feedback signal causes the signal that can not stop to export.Therefore, the present invention, will be from the first transmission road when exporting second signal Diameter switching is coupled to the second transmission path, to achieve the effect that ignore or filter out feedback signal.
Then, in step S511, active stylus is exported again to provide the header letter for recognizing active stylus Number give touch panel.As previously mentioned, the status that header signal recognizes active stylus to provide touch panel, in this step In S511, it can be considered that active stylus and touch panel generate the communications protocol handed over and held, execute touch panel for master The mode of dynamic formula stylus operation.In other words, when active stylus exports header signal to touch panel, touch panel can To confirm that the device of contact is active stylus, rather than the finger of passive type stylus or user, it provides accordingly actively The track width value of formula stylus setting contact point coordinate position.
Next, when active stylus detects the first timing distribution from the first signal, being compiled in step S513 Code pressure difference value is the pressure signal with multiple bits.For example, the first timing distribution, which can be, meets reference number of times Multiple pulses rise.With reference number of times be three times for, when active stylus detect three subpulses rise signal when, formula The first timing distribution is detected from the first signal for active stylus, then encoding pressure difference value is the pressure with multiple bits Force signal.When pressure difference value referred to user uses active stylus with user when active stylus is not used, The pressure difference value of active stylus nib.It in other words, can be by active touch-control when active stylus is not used in user The design of pressure of pen nib is pressure base value, when user in writing on touch panel or is painted using active stylus When, it is then pressure difference value that the pressure value of active stylus nib, which subtracts pressure base value,.And pressure difference value is encoded in addition to actively Formula stylus encodes outside pressure difference value with the common coding mode of touch panel, can also simultaneously believe header signal or header The status of active stylus is encoded in pressure signal together in number.
In step S515, when active stylus detects the second timing distribution from the first signal, according to first The second timing distribution in signal, an at least bit is to touch panel in output pressure signal.For example, the second timing distribution Can with when multiple pulses signal, the active stylus will test multiple pulses in the second timing distribution, according to second The signal that each pulse rises in timing distribution distinguishes a bit in output pressure signal.In other words, work as pressure signal For seven bits signal when, the second timing distribution will be seven pulses, the active stylus will be in the second timing distribution When each pulse rises, a bit is exported.
Referring to figure 5., Fig. 5 for the touch panel method for transmitting signals drawn according to one embodiment of the invention process Figure, as shown in figure 5, touch panel exports the first signal in step S701.By taking capacitance type touch-control panel as an example, the first signal When can be touch panel and being powered, electric field caused by surface electrode, to sense active stylus, passive type stylus or Capacitance change caused by user's finger.
When active stylus responds the first signal and exports second signal, in step S703, touch panel foundation The second signal of active stylus output, generates a coordinate position.Coordinate position is correlated in active stylus and touch-control The position of plate contact point, or connection receive the position of second signal in touch panel.
Then, in step S705, touch panel detects the header signal of active stylus output, to recognize header letter Active stylus indicated by number confirms that the device contacted with touch panel is active stylus, thus with active touching Control pen generates the communications protocol handed over and held.In this embodiment, when touch panel and active stylus generate and the communication held handed over to assist After fixed, touch panel will execute cooperation to the operation mode of active stylus operation control.Touch panel can be with hardware, solid Part, application program or other feasible modes cooperate the active stylus to operate.
Then, in step S707, header signal is responded, touch panel output meets the first letter of the first timing distribution Number, to require active stylus to give pressure signal.Meet the first of the first timing distribution when active stylus detects When signal, the pressure signal that pressure difference value is multiple bits will be encoded.Then, in step S709, touch panel output meets First signal of the second timing distribution gives active stylus, to receive from active stylus in step S711 Pressure signal.For touch panel output square-wave signal, when touch panel exports a square wave, active stylus will be examined The square-wave signal of touch panel output is measured, just the signal according to the rising of each square wave, at least one in output pressure signal A bit.And touch panel receives at least one bit in pressure signal, until receiving then in one square wave of every output All bits of pressure signal.
In step S713, touch panel judges the whether correct of the pressure signal having received.With pressure signal for seven For a bit, wherein four bits can be inspection bit for the data bit element of instruction pressure difference value, the other three bit. Whether after touch panel exports seven square waves, touch panel will decode pressure signal, and check and examine bit correct, work as inspection When bit is correct, judge that the pressure signal having received is correct.
When the pressure signal having received is correct, in step S717, in touch panel and active Pointer contacts The coordinate position setting of point corresponds to the track width value of pressure signal.However, when the pressure signal having received is incorrect, In step S719, track width value is set according to the preceding pressure signal once received.
In other embodiments of the invention, touch panel is in addition to generating the communications protocol handed over and held with active stylus Afterwards, it can actively execute other than the operation mode for cooperating active stylus, user directly can also require touch panel to hold Row cooperates the operation mode of active stylus, for example, user execute drawing application program, notes application program or other can Capable application program etc., enables active stylus in drawing application program, by the pressure of user's pen, with setting On touch panel, the track width value of contact point coordinate position.
In summary, the present invention responds the first signal of touch panel by active stylus, to generate second Signal makes touch panel sensing generate a coordinate position.Then, header signal is exported by active stylus, with touch surface Plate generates communication connection, and the device for touch panel confirmation contact is active stylus.Later, touch panel is again to export symbol Close the first signal of the first timing distribution, it is desirable that active stylus output pressure signal is to touch panel, to provide touch surface Plate sets the track width value of contact position accordingly, reaches the use pressure that touch panel can be different according to user, thus aobvious Show the track of different thicknesses.
