Description

The interpretation method of touch control induction device
Technical field
The present invention is meant a kind of interpretation method of touch control induction device, refers to a kind of interpretation method of capacitance touching control induction installation especially.
Background technology
General touch control induction device can be divided into two kinds of resistance-type and condenser types in system design, with capacitance touching control induction installation commonly used, in order to want which button on the judgment means that touched arriving arranged, usually can be when device starts, note down at the current potential energy that some buttons filled earlier, the numerical value that utilizes this current potential numerical value and other to have the current potential energy that keyswitch filled of equivalent capacity afterwards again compares; If be lower than this numerical value, system judges that promptly this button is pressed; If be greater than or equal to this numerical value, system will ignore.
Start with the circuit component of reality, at first, this induction installation can be sent the Trackpad (Pad) that a continuous pulse wave is given the capacity cell of some buttons or had an equivalent electric capacity, the other end of this capacity cell and this equivalence electric capacity then is to be connected in an integrator to carry out energy storage at this continuous pulse wave, after treating that this continuous pulse wave transmission finishes, the waveform of institute's integration promptly can be exaggerated and be converted to digital signal, this digital signal can be deposited in the storer at last, the numerical value that is deposited in is the accurate position of bias voltage (bias level), then, touch-control sensing district that need only this induction installation of continuous sweep, with the integration current potential of each point on the induction zone via amplify and convert digital signal to after carrying out numeric ratio with accurate of the previous bias voltage of noting down; And when the numerical value of each point in the touch-control sensing district was lower than the accurate position of original bias voltage, this induction installation can have been judged touched the arriving of which point.
