Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a dermatoglyph identification apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention, please refer to fig. 1. The dermatoglyph identification apparatus includes a plurality of sensors 102, a switching circuit 104, a signal source 106 and a processing circuit 110, wherein the switching circuit 104 is coupled to each of the sensors 102 and the processing circuit 110, the signal source 106 is coupled to the switching circuit 104 and the processing circuit 110 through an impedance element 108, wherein the impedance element 108 may be, for example, a resistance element or an equivalent resistance of a circuit wire, but not limited thereto.
The sensor 102 is used to detect a sensing object 112, such as a fingerprint of a finger, but not limited thereto, and may also detect other portions of a skin pattern, for example, the sensor 102 may include sensing electrodes, and the sensing electrodes of the sensor 102 may form a sensing array to define a sensing region for performing sensing identification of the skin pattern. The signal source 106 may generate a reference signal such that the sensor 102 generates a sensing signal in response to the reference signal. When the sensing object 112 touches the sensors 102 for identifying the dermatoglyph, the switching circuit 104 can switch at least one of the sensors 102 to be connected to the impedance element 108 and switch the remaining sensors to be connected to the ground of the signal source 106, wherein the ground is connected to the ground. In this case, the reference signal provided by the signal source 106 can be transmitted to the sensor 102 connected to the impedance element 108 through the impedance element 108, so that the sensor 102 connected to the impedance element 108 can generate the sensing signal in response to the reference signal, so that the dermatoglyph identification apparatus can identify the dermatoglyph according to the sensing signal. For example, the processing circuit 110 may convert the sensing signal into sensing information for dermatoglyph identification.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an equivalent circuit of a dermatoglyph identification apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention, please refer to fig. 2. Further, when the sensing object 112 (e.g., a finger) touches the sensor 102 for identifying the dermatoglyph, a sensing capacitance Cf is generated between each sensor 102 and the sensing object 112. In the present embodiment, only one sensor 102 is switched by the switching circuit 104 to be connected to the impedance element 108, and the other sensors 102 are switched to be connected to the ground terminal of the signal source 106, wherein the sensing capacitances Cf corresponding to the sensors 102 switched to be connected to the ground terminal of the signal source 106 are connected in parallel, which can be equivalent to the sensing capacitance Cf0 shown in fig. 2, that is, the capacitance value of the sensing capacitance Cf0 is equal to the sum of the sensing capacitances Cf corresponding to the sensors 102 switched to be connected to the ground terminal of the signal source 106.
As shown in fig. 2, the sensing capacitor Cf corresponding to the sensor 102 switched to be connected to the impedance element 108 is connected in series between the impedance element 108 and the ground through the sensing object 112 and the sensing capacitor Cf0 corresponding to the sensor 102 switched to be connected to the ground of the signal source 106, and since the capacitance value of the sensing capacitor Cf0 is much larger than that of the sensing capacitor Cf, the capacitance value of the sensing capacitor Cf0 and the sensing capacitor Cf connected in series is almost equal to that of the sensing capacitor Cf. In this way, the sensing signal outputted at the common junction of the impedance element 108 and the sensing capacitor Cf only reflects the capacitance value sensed by the sensor 102 switched to be connected to the impedance element 108, and since the sensing capacitor Cf0 and the sensing capacitor Cf of fig. 2 are connected in series between the impedance element 108 and the ground, there is no problem of floating of one end of the capacitor, so that the capacitance value sensed by the sensor 102 switched to be connected to the impedance element 108 can be accurately reflected. In addition, the processing circuit 110 in this embodiment may include, for example, an amplifier 202 and an analog-to-digital conversion circuit 204, wherein the amplifier 202 is coupled to the impedance element 108 and the analog-to-digital conversion circuit 204. The amplifier 202 amplifies the sensing signal, and the analog-to-digital conversion circuit 204 converts the amplified sensing signal into sensing information for identifying the dermatoglyph.
The switching circuit 104 can alternately switch and connect each sensor 102 to the impedance element 108, and simultaneously switch and connect the other sensors 102 that are not switched and connected to the impedance element 108 to the ground, so as to sequentially obtain the sensing signals generated by each sensor 102, and further obtain the capacitance value change of each position on the sensing array, thereby accurately obtaining the dermatoglyph characteristics of the sensing object.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an identification method of a dermatoglyph identification apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention, please refer to fig. 3. As can be seen from the above embodiments, the identification method of the dermatoglyph identification device may include the following steps. First, at least one sensor is switched to be connected to an impedance element to connect a signal source through the impedance element (step S302). Then, the remaining sensors are switched to be connected to the ground of the signal source (step S304). Then, the dermatoglyph is identified according to the sensing signal generated by the sensor connected to the impedance element responding to the reference signal (step S306). When the sensing object touches the sensor, the sensing capacitance corresponding to the sensor connected to the impedance element is connected in series between the impedance element and the ground terminal through the sensing object and the sensing capacitances corresponding to the other sensors, so that the sensing signal only reflects the capacitance value sensed by the sensor switched to be connected to the impedance element, and the problem of floating of one end of the capacitance is avoided, thereby accurately reflecting the capacitance value sensed by the sensor switched to be connected to the impedance element. By alternately switching and connecting the sensors to the impedance elements and simultaneously switching and connecting the other sensors which are not switched and connected to the impedance elements to the grounding end, the sensing signals generated by the sensors can be sequentially obtained, and the dermatoglyph characteristics of the sensing object can be accurately obtained.
In summary, in the dermatoglyph identification apparatus according to the embodiment of the invention, at least one sensor is switched to be connected to the impedance element, and the other sensors are switched to be connected to the ground terminal of the signal source, so that the sensor connected to the impedance element can generate the sensing signal on the impedance element in response to the reference signal provided by the signal source. Therefore, the effect of common grounding of the sensing capacitor and the signal source can be achieved without the copper ring, and the problem of floating connection of one end of the capacitor is solved, so that the fingerprint identification can be accurately carried out.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, and various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
