The infrared touch screen system needs the output amplitude of the infrared receiving unit of each infrared transmitting-receiving pair to be consistent, but the distance, angle and the like from the infrared transmitting tube of different infrared transmitting-receiving pairs to the infrared photosensitive diode are different, so the photocurrent obtained on the infrared photosensitive diode is also different, and the gain of the amplifying circuit of the infrared receiving unit needs to be adjusted; meanwhile, the distance, angle and the like between the infrared transmitting tube and the infrared photosensitive diode in each infrared transmitting-receiving pair are fixed, namely the infrared photosensitive diode receives an optical signal with preset light intensity, so that a required gain value of a set amplitude value output by an amplifying circuit of each infrared transmitting-receiving pair can be measured in advance and stored, the gain value stored in advance is called to set the gain of the amplifying circuit when the infrared transmitting-receiving pair works, the output of the amplifying circuit can reach the set amplitude value, and the response speed of each infrared transmitting-receiving pair is greatly accelerated.

The upper computer MCU pre-measures the gain value needed by the output of the amplifying circuit of a certain infrared transmitting-receiving pair to be the set amplitude value, and stores the gain value in the memory, when the voltage amplifier works normally, the pre-stored gain value is called to set the high-speed digital potentiometer serving as the feedback resistance of the voltage amplifier to complete the gain setting of the voltage amplifier, and the output of the amplifying circuit can reach the set amplitude value.
The existing scheme has more components and parts and higher control complexity and cost; the trans-impedance amplifier composed of the infrared photosensitive diode and the triode has the advantages that the amplitude of an output voltage signal is small, and the voltage amplifier is provided with longer wiring, so that the problem of low signal-to-noise ratio is caused.

Although the gain can be adjusted according to the input infrared signal, the gain value can not be measured in advance, and the problem of calling in use exists, so that the whole response is slow, and great limitation is brought to application.

W1 to Wn are n infrared receiving modules formed by connecting the photodiode 51 and the infrared receiving dedicated circuit according to the embodiment of fig. 8; LEDs 1 to LEDm are m infrared emitting tubes; the control pins of each infrared receiving module are connected together and respectively connected to the micro control unit 80; the timing pins of each infrared receiving module are connected together and respectively connected to the micro control unit 80; the EN pin of each infrared receiving module is respectively connected to the second decoder 82, and the second decoder 82 is connected to the micro control unit 80; LEDs 1 to LEDm are m infrared emitting tubes; whether each infrared emission tube emits light or not is controlled by a first decoder 81.
When the micro control unit 80 sets the control line to be at a low level, and the micro control unit 80 controls the infrared receiving module W1 to be in the enabling mode through the second decoder 82, and meanwhile, the other infrared receiving modules are in the high impedance mode; the micro control unit 80 controls the corresponding infrared transmitting tubes to sequentially transmit optical signals through the first decoder 81; the infrared receiving module W1 generates a gain setting value for each corresponding infrared transmitting tube in turn and stores the gain in turn; the micro control unit 80 controls the infrared receiving module to be in the high impedance mode through the second decoder 82, and enables the next infrared receiving module to be in the enabling mode; repeating the process, each infrared receiving module enters and exits the enabling mode in sequence, and setting and storing the gain setting value for each corresponding infrared emitting source in sequence.
The micro control unit 80 sets the control line to be at a high level, and after the micro control unit 80 controls the infrared receiving module W1 to be in the enabling mode through the second decoder 82, the other infrared receiving modules are in the high impedance mode at the same time; the micro control unit 80 controls the corresponding infrared emission tubes to emit light signals in sequence through the first decoder 81, and the emission sequence is the same as that of the infrared emission tubes in the gain setting mode; while the infrared transmitting tube transmits the optical signal, the micro control unit 80 generates a pulse on the timing line, wherein the width of the pulse is the same as the time of the infrared transmitting tube transmitting the optical signal; under the control of the timing line, the infrared receiving module W1 sequentially reads the gain setting value stored in the storage module for each transmitting unit, sets the gain for the variable gain amplifier in the module, receives the current signal generated by the photodiode, amplifies the current signal, and outputs the amplified current signal to the micro control unit 80 for signal processing;
at any one time, under the control of the second decoder 82, at most one infrared receiving module is in the enabling mode, while other infrared receiving modules are in the high-impedance mode, and the output pins are in the high-impedance state, so that although all the output pins of the infrared receiving modules are connected together and connected to the micro control unit 80, the output signals of the infrared receiving modules are not influenced to be read by the micro control unit 80; meanwhile, in the high-impedance mode, the infrared receiving module does not generate correspondence to signals of the control line and the time sequence line, so that the storage and the calling of the gain setting value of the storage module of the infrared receiving module are not influenced.
