Based on the touch display device, an embodiment of the invention provides a touch identification method, and fig. 3 is a flowchart of the touch identification method provided by the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 3, the touch identification method includes:

and S50, determining the position of the touch point according to the positions of the effective target area and the touch area formed in the other scanning directions except the reference direction.
The touch area is an area where the blocked light path is located in the same scanning direction.
According to the touch identification method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first side edge of the display panel and the reference direction of the first side edge are selected, the touch area in the reference direction is expanded towards two sides, the touch point is ensured to be positioned in the expanded touch area, so that the initial target areas are divided according to the expanded touch area, the effective target areas are firstly screened out from the initial target areas, and the position of the touch point is determined. In the embodiment of the invention, the initial target area is determined by selecting the reference direction, the calculation quantity of the touch areas can be greatly reduced, and the effective target area is screened out in the initial target area before the position of the touch point is determined, so that the touch area where the interference touch point is located can be eliminated, the operation speed of the touch point can be increased, and the response speed and the operation experience of the touch display device can be improved.
The following describes an implementation of the touch recognition method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first side s1 and the second side s2 respectively have two scanning directions as an example, and the touch recognition method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is exemplified.
Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a touch scene provided in an embodiment of the invention, and as shown in fig. 4, the infrared emitting elements are located on the first side s1 and the second side s2 of the display panel, the infrared emitting element on the first side s1 can emit infrared rays in two scanning directions, and the infrared emitting element on the second side s2 can emit infrared rays in two scanning directions. Wherein the scanning light lines are indicated by arrowed lines in fig. 4. When two touch objects are touched, infrared light rays in the infrared optical network can be shielded, wherein the light rays shielded by the touch objects are represented by dotted lines, and the light rays not shielded by the touch objects are represented by solid lines.
Fig. 5 and fig. 6 are schematic diagrams illustrating the shielding of the infrared light in the two scanning directions a1 and a2 of the first side s1 in fig. 4, respectively, as shown in fig. 5, the touch object can shield part of the infrared light in the scanning direction a1, and the infrared light shielded by the touch object can be divided into two regions by taking the unshielded infrared light as a limit. In the embodiment of the invention, the area where continuous light rays shielded in the same scanning direction are located is divided into one touch area. Then, there are two touch areas in the scanning direction a 1. As shown in fig. 6, a touching object also produces two touch areas in the scan direction a 2.
Fig. 7 and 8 are schematic diagrams illustrating the blocking of infrared light rays in two scanning directions b1 and b2 of the second side edge s2 in fig. 4, respectively, and as shown in fig. 7, a touch object generates two touch regions in the scanning direction b 1. As shown in fig. 8, a touching object produces only one touch area in the scan direction b 2.
In practical implementation, the first side s1 and the second side s2 respectively perform the infrared scanning operation, and the infrared emitting elements each perform the emission of infrared light in the same scanning direction in one scanning cycle. When the first side s1 has performed the scanning in all the scanning directions, the second side s2 starts to perform the scanning operation again. One scanning cycle is completed when the first side s1 and the second side s2 perform scanning in all scanning directions.
In step S20, determining the reference directions of the first side and the second side according to the number of touch areas formed by the first side and the second side in each scanning direction may include:
taking the scanning direction with the largest number of touch areas formed on the first side edge as the reference direction of the first side edge;
and taking the scanning direction with the largest touch control area formed on the second side edge as the reference direction of the second side edge.
In the prior art, after touch areas generated by a touch object in each scanning direction are determined, the position of a touch point is determined according to the intersection of the touch areas, and obviously, calculation for all the touch areas is huge, and the calculation efficiency is low. According to the touch identification method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the reference direction is determined firstly, and the position of the touch point is determined by processing the touch area generated in the reference direction, so that the calculation amount can be greatly reduced, and the calculation efficiency is improved.
According to the embodiment of the invention, only one scanning direction acting reference direction is selected on each side edge of the two side edges where the infrared emission elements are located. Specifically, for the first side s1, the scanning direction in which the touch area formed on the first side s1 is the largest may be taken as the reference direction of the first side s 1; for the second side edge s2, the scanning direction in which the touch area formed on the second side edge s2 is the largest may be taken as the reference direction of the second side edge s 2.
Still taking the touch scenario shown in fig. 4 as an example, two touch regions are formed in the scanning direction a1 of the first side s1, and two touch regions are also formed in the scanning direction a2 of the first side s1, and then either one of the two scanning directions can be taken as the scanning direction of the first side s 1. Two touch areas are formed in the scanning direction b1 of the second side edge s2, and only one touch area is formed in the scanning direction b2 of the second side edge s2, then the scanning direction b1 is taken as the scanning direction of the second side edge s 2.
The more touch areas formed in the same scanning direction, the higher the resolution of the scanning direction, and the scanning direction with the highest resolution is taken as the reference direction in the embodiment of the invention, so that the condition of missing touch points can be avoided.
Further, in step S30, enlarging the boundary of the touch area in the reference direction of the first side and the second side to form an expanded touch area includes:
and respectively expanding the distance of one infrared ray to two sides of the touch area generated in the reference direction of the first side edge and the second side edge to form an expanded touch area.
As shown in fig. 5 and 7, in the touch region formed in the reference direction a1 of the first side edge s1 and the touch region formed in the reference direction b1 of the second side edge s2, the boundary of the touch object is larger than the boundary of the touch region, because the touch object is not large enough to block the infrared rays on both sides of the touch region, so that the touch regions as shown in fig. 5 and 7 are formed, but the formed touch regions cannot completely enclose the touch object therein, so that the embodiment of the present invention expands the touch regions formed in the reference direction by the distance of one infrared ray to both sides, respectively, to form an expanded touch region, to ensure that the touch object can be completely located in the expanded touch region, thereby avoiding operation errors due to incomplete positioning.
Still taking the touch scene shown in fig. 4 as an example, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of the outward-extended touch regions formed in the reference direction in fig. 4, and as shown in fig. 9, the two touch regions are respectively extended to both sides by the distance of one infrared ray in the reference direction a1 of the first side s1 to form two outward-extended touch regions shown in fig. 9; the two touch regions are respectively expanded to both sides by the distance of one infrared ray in the reference direction b1 of the second side edge s2 to form two expanded touch regions as shown in fig. 9.
Further, in the above step S30, the intersection of the extended touch areas defines an initial target area, which includes:
intersecting every two of the external extended touch areas;
and taking an overlapped area generated by the intersection of the two outward-extending touch areas as an initial target area.
And touch points may exist in the intersection of every two external touch areas outside the determined external touch areas. Therefore, the overlapping area generated by the intersection of the extended touch areas is used as the initial target area.
Still taking the touch scene shown in fig. 4 as an example, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of an initial target area formed by the extra touch areas in fig. 9, and as shown in fig. 10, intersecting the four extra touch areas formed in the two reference directions a1 and b1 formed in fig. 9 will form four initial target areas X1-X4 shown in fig. 10, and the touch points generated by the touch operation are located in the initial target areas X1-X4.
Further, in the step S40, the step of screening out the effective target area from the initial target area includes:
sequentially intersecting the initial target area with touch areas formed in other scanning directions except the reference direction;
and if the intersection of the initial target area and the touch area has a part which is not overlapped with the intersections of other initial target areas and the touch area, determining the initial target area as an effective target area.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the initial target area is firstly screened, and the touch points are certainly present in the screened effective target area, so that the interference touch points can be removed, and the redundant calculation caused by the interference touch points is avoided.
The interference touch points are all caused by shielding of infrared light rays by the real touch points, but the set of infrared light rays shielded by the interference touch points is completely contained in the set of infrared light rays shielded by the real touch points, and the set of infrared light rays shielded by the real touch points is not necessarily completely contained in the set of infrared light rays shielded by the interference touch points.
The embodiment of the invention uses the above characteristics to sequentially intersect each initial target region with other touch regions except the reference direction to obtain the set of infrared rays blocked by each initial target region. Some infrared light is only blocked by one initial target area but not other initial target areas, so that the initial target area is a valid target area.
Illustrated as an initial target area in fig. 10. Fig. 11 is a schematic view of the initial target region and the other touch regions except the reference direction in fig. 10, and as shown in fig. 11, the scanning direction except the reference direction on the first side s1 is a2, and the scanning direction except the reference direction on the second side s2 is b 2. The initial target region X1-X4 has an optical path a blocked in the scanning direction a2 of the first side s1 21 -a 27 (ii) a The initial target region X1-X4 has a broken optical path b in the scanning direction b2 of the second side s2 21 -b 24
Fig. 12 to 15 are schematic views of the initial target areas X1 to X4 and other touch areas other than the reference direction, respectively. As shown in FIG. 12, the initial target area X1 has an optical path a in the scanning direction a2 21 -a 22 The initial target region X1 has a broken optical path b in the scanning direction b2 21 -b 23 (ii) a As shown in FIG. 13, the initial target area X2 has an optical path a in the scanning direction a2 26 The initial target region X2 has a broken optical path b in the scanning direction b2 21 -b 23 (ii) a As shown in FIG. 14, the initial target area X3 has an optical path a in the scanning direction a2 22 The initial target region X3 has a broken optical path b in the scanning direction b2 24 (ii) a As shown in FIG. 15, the initial target area X4 is being scannedThe optical path blocked in the direction a2 is a 26 -a 27 The initial target region X4 has a broken optical path b in the scanning direction b2 23 -b 24
It can be seen that the optical path a in the scanning direction a2 21 Is only shielded by the initial target region X1, the optical path a in the scanning direction a2 27 Only by the initial target area X4, except that the other optical paths in the scanning directions a2 and b2 are each blocked by at least two initial target areas. That is, the optical path a exists in the intersection of the initial target area X1 and the other touch areas other than the reference direction 21 Light path elements that do not belong in the intersection of the initial target area X2-X4 with other touch areas other than the reference direction; there is an optical path a in the intersection of the initial target area X4 with the other touch areas other than the reference direction 27 Light path elements that do not belong in the intersection of the initial target area X1-X3 with other touch areas other than the reference direction. It can thus be determined that the initial target areas X1 and X4 are valid target areas, and the touch points in the other initial target areas are interfering touch points.
Further, in the above step S50, determining the position of the touch point based on the positions of the effective target area and the touch area formed in the other scanning direction than the reference direction includes:
intersecting the effective target region with a touch region formed in a scanning direction other than the reference direction;
