It include transport interface between controller 160 and host 170 in another example of the present invention, control unit passes through transmission Interface transfers data to host, those skilled in the art can deduce transport interface include but is not limited to UART, The various wired or wireless transport interfaces such as USB, I2C, Bluetooth, WiFi, IR.In example of the present invention, the data of transmission It is available to can be position (such as coordinate), identification result (such as gesture code), order, sensitive information or other controllers 160 Information.
In example of the present invention, sensitive information, which can be, controls generated initial sensitive information by processor 161 (initial sensing information), transfer to host 170 carry out position analysis, such as position analysis, gesture judgement, Order identification etc..In another example of the present invention, sensitive information can be first to be analyzed by processor 161, then will judgement Position out, gesture, order etc. are submitted to host 170.The present invention includes but is not limited to aforementioned example, the art Those of ordinary skill can deduce interacting between other controllers 160 and host 170.
In the crossover region of each conductive bar, the two poles of the earth are constituted with conductive bar under upper.Each crossover region can be considered Pixel (pixel) in image (image), when having one or more external conductive objects close or touching, the image It can be considered the image for taking touching (such as finger is touched in the aspect (pattern) of sensing device).
When being provided driving signal by driving conductive bar, self-capacitance (self is constituted by driving conductive bar itself Capacitance), and by each crossover region on driving conductive bar mutual capacitance (mutual capacitance) is constituted.Before The self-capacitance detecting stated is the self-capacitance for detecting all conductive bars, especially suitable for judging the close of single external conductive object Or contact.
Mutual capacitance type above-mentioned detecting, be when being provided driving signal by driving conductive bar, by with by driving conductive bar The capacitance or capacitance change of all crossover regions on all sensed conductive bar detecting driving conductive bars of different dimensions arrangement, With the column pixel being considered as in image.Accordingly, the pixel for collecting all column constitutes the image.When having outside one or more When conductive object is close or touches, the image can be considered the image for taking touching, especially suitable for judging that multiple outsides are led Electric object near to or in contact with.
These conductive bars (the first conductive bar and the second conductive bar) can be to be made of transparent or opaque material, such as It can be and be made of transparent tin indium oxide (ITO).It can be divided into single layer structure (SITO in structure;Single ITO) and it is double-deck Structure (DITO;Double ITO).The ordinary person of the art can deduce the material of other conductive bars, no longer describe.

It is using laterally as first direction, and using longitudinal as second direction, therefore transverse direction in example of the invention Conductive bar is the first conductive bar, and longitudinal conductive bar is the second conductive bar.Those skilled in the art can push away Know that above description is one of the example of invention, is not intended to limit the invention.For example, it may be using longitudinal direction as first direction, And laterally as second direction.In addition, the number of the first conductive bar and the second conductive bar can be identical, it is also possible to not Together, for example, the first conductive bar has N item, the second conductive bar has M item.
When carrying out the detecting of two-dimensions mutual capacitance type, it is conductive that the driving signal of exchange is sequentially provided to each first Item, and the dimension that the conductive bar of driving signal is provided corresponding to each is obtained via the signal of second conductive bar Sensitive information, set then constitute a two-dimensions sensitive information corresponding to the sensitive information of all first conductive bars.Described one Dimension sensitive information can be the signal generation according to second conductive bar, be also possible to according to second conductive bar Signal and the measures of dispersion of benchmark generate.In addition, sensitive information can be the electric current, voltage, capacitive couplings of basis signal Amount, the quantity of electric charge or other characteristic electrons generate, and can be and exist in the form of analog or digital.
When actually approaching without external conductive object or cover touch screen or system does not judge external conductive pair When as close or covering touch screen, position detecting apparatus can generate benchmark by the signal of second conductive bar, and benchmark is in Existing is the stray capacitance on touch screen.Sensitive information can be to be generated according to the signal of the second conductive bar, or according to second The signal of conductive bar subtracts produced by benchmark.
Fig. 1 C is please referred to, for the schematic diagram of above-mentioned two-dimensions mutual capacitance type detecting.Pulse is sent out by the first end conductive bar Tx Width adjustment (PWM) signal can be in the second conductive bar through the capacitive couplings between the first conductive bar Tx and the second conductive bar Rx Rx terminates the signal for receiving frequency identical with the end Tx and gap fixed phase difference.
The present invention proposes a kind of method and apparatus of measurement signal, is the base that signal processing is done using the mode of signal in orthogonal Plinth.
For example, the signal received that Rx termination receives is S (t)=Asin (ω t), wherein A is amplitude.
Only in m=n, just there is integrated value.
But the circuit of general signal multiplication is not easy to implement on circuit, so existing known techniques all adopt the mode of square wave Implement, become be
I=∫ (PWM) sgn (PWM) dt.
But the Fourier series of square wave expansion itself can be expressed as
There can be many odd harmonics, therefore will become.
Wherein S (t)=square wave or sine wave+n (t), wherein n (t) be noise or interference,
It can be found that can there are the components of odd harmonic.
Therefore, when the interference for having narrow frequency occurs near odd harmonic, meeting can not eliminate the influence of the interference, such as Fig. 2 institute Show.Especially when the data for taking same phase in each half period using analog-to-digital circuit ADC, it is then added ∑ (positive half cycle again Phase-negative half-cycle) after, the influence for high order odd harmonic is bigger.
It therefore, is to be driven using string wave, and establish one according to multiple predetermined phases under optimal mode of the invention Coefficient table, wherein each predetermined phase is designated a coefficient.In preferable example of the invention, coefficient is predetermined phase The multiple of sine value, as shown in the table.
Phase Coefficient
