Abstract

An acoustic wave touch panel system comprises an acoustic wave touch panel, an input/output control unit, a detection unit and a signal processing unit. The touch panel comprises a flat panel wherein at least a first transmitter and a second transmitter are disposed at the two adjacent edges, and at least a first, a second and a third receiver are disposed at the opposite corners opposing the edges installed with the first transmitter and a second transmitter, which can receive the signals sending from the first transmitter and a second transmitter. The relationship of numbers between the receivers and the transmitters is: many to many, many to one and one to many. The input/output control unit uses a time-division multiplexing scanning method to control the transmitters sending surface acoustic wave signal and control the detection unit picking up the electrical signals generated from the receivers which receive the surface acoustic waves. The degradation characteristics of the electrical signals are determined by the processing unit using a subtractor to confirm the touch position on the touch panel by users, so that the resolution and processing speed of the touch panel are increased.

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an acoustic wave touch panel system, and more particularly to an acoustic wave touch panel system of a transmitter and a receiver made of a piezoelectric film. [Prior Art] With the popularity of computers, keyboards and mice have become the most accepted information input devices in the general public, but because of their large size, they are not portable and have a slightly complicated and complicated procedure. Another type of input device that is superimposed with the screen-body molding_control panel. The touch panel is a humanized input device that can directly select a specific area on the panel with a finger or a stylus. With the development trend of light, thin, short, small and complicated functions of electronic products, the space for products to be placed into the input device is very limited, and the touch panel can be completely completed; In addition, it can provide a humanized operation mode such as handwriting input, and thus becomes the β optimal _ of the human-machine interface. Difficult to red touch can be divided into miscellaneous, electric slave, optical and surface acoustic wave type, wherein the resistive touch panel has the disadvantage of poor light transmittance, thus reducing the degree of freedom and contrast; The capacitance of the capacitive _ control panel is different from the temperature, humidity or grounding conditions, and the stability is poor. Moreover, the resolution of the optical touch panel is determined by the number of infrared transmitting and receiving pairs. Easy to be restricted. Xin ^The disadvantages of the above touch panel, therefore, the appearance of the surface of the surface acoustic wave touch panel of the surface acoustic wave touch panel can be divided into two 5 201005608 and the other type is array type Hair type: One type is single-transmit-transfer energy-receiving transducer transponder and array receiving transducer. The upper surface is excited by a surface acoustic wave control panel composed of a semi-emission transducer and a single-receiving transducer, and the surface wave is obliquely emitted through a multi-reflector or a specific angle to the edge of the panel. The surface waves passing through different positions of the panel are received at different receiving and receiving transducers, and the position of the panel can be touched by receiving the relationship between the intensity of the signal and the time. U.S. Patent No. 4,644,100, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, the disclosure of the disclosure of the entire disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of Figure. As shown in the figure, the system includes a substrate having a pair of transmitting transducers T1 and Τ2 and a pair of receiving transducers and R2' - a control system u electrically connected to the pair of transducers, Each of the transducers (7), τ2, R1, and R2) has reflection grids gi, G2, G3, and G4 composed of a plurality of reflection units ^ to en) along the paths η, ρ2, ρ3, and ρ4, respectively. The control system 11 generates a transmitting signal illusion, S2, © through the -transmitting transducer switch ila, so that the transmitting signal Sb is transmitted to the corresponding transmitting riddle, T2, respectively, so that the transmitting ΤΙ, Τ2 The transmitted surface waves are generated along the paths P1, Ρ2, respectively. Taking the surface acoustic wave generated along the path P1 as an example, the surface wave transmitted by the surface wave through the reflection grating G1 is emitted at an angle of 45 degrees with the path pi, and is divided into 11 parts and at an angle of 90 degrees with the path P1. Passing down to the reflective gate (2) opposite to the reflective gate G1 causes the reflective elements ei to en in the reflective grating G2 to change the surface wave direction of the n portions reflected from the reflective gate gi and change The surface wave of the direction is transmitted along the path ρ3 and reaches the receiving transducer R1'. The receiving transducer R1 converts the received surface wave energy into 6 201005608 signal S3 and rotates to the amplitude of the electrical connection with the control system (4). Detector fairy. On the other hand, the transmitting transducer T2 receives the transmission signal S2 from the transmitting transducer switch 11& and causes the transmitting transducer T2 to generate a transmitted surface wave along the path p2 respectively. The surface wave transmitted by the surface wave through the reflection grating G3 is at a milk angle angle with the path p2 = is divided into n portions after the shot and is transmitted downward at a 9Q angle with the path P2 to the reflection grating G4 opposite to the reflection grating, Leading the reflection grating G4 to change the surface wave direction of the n portions reflected from the inverse _(2), and causing the surface wave changing direction to pass along the path (4) to the R2, and the surface R2 will be connected to the surface wave energy The signal is converted into (4) S4 and output to an amplitude detector core electrically connected to the control system (4). The amplitude detector 11b analyzes the signals (4) and S4. Since the distance of the surface wave reaching the receiving transduction energy (4) is different, the time of arrival is also different, and the received signal S3 is as reflected by the second unit, and the surface reflected by the reflecting unit el of the material reflection grating G2 The leg of the leg 1 is reflected by the 元 面 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Assume that the position of the touch panel is as shown in the first figure, then the surface wave along the reflection grating G1 is along the side of the hybrid, and the passage is (4), and the absorption is caused by the absorption. The output signal is secondly shown, and the output signal is generated by the daily scale t, and the time t that is generated can be pushed on the horizontal coordinate _ touch position χ, and the depth of the input 与 is touched by the user. _power money. According to this method, the user can also transfer the touch position on the vertical coordinate, and the position of (4) can be determined by the coordinate position (χ, γ). However, in this embodiment, the surface wave emitted by the transmitting transducers Τ1, Τ2 is via the reverse 7 201005608

At the same time, in order to make the n partial partial surface acoustic skins reflected by the reflective gratings G1 and G3 have a phase 3 θ, the design of the reflective grating and the process of the substrate 10 become complicated. In addition, since the surface acoustic wave velocity is fast and the time interval between time t〇 and time cut is also short, a relatively fast signal processing speed is required, so that a higher efficiency (four) converter is required. The A/D conversion price is expensive, so the cost of the control panel is greatly increased. On the other hand, if the cost of the touch panel is increased, only the resolution is sacrificed. In addition, as shown in the third figure, U.S. Patent No. 3,673,327, which discloses another system architecture for a surface acoustic wave touch panel using an arrayed emission transducer and an array receiving transducer. . Please refer to the touch panel of the third riding system. The two adjacent sides are provided with a plurality of side-by-side transmitters 2ΐ and Μ, and the flat plate is applied to the other two adjacent sides and respectively - a plurality of side-by-side receivers 23, 24 are also provided on the opposite sides of the row of emitters 321 and 22. The plurality of emitters 相对 correspond to the time-dependent reception & 23 on the opposite side respectively. The emitters 22 correspond to the opposite receivers 24 on opposite sides, respectively. The launch is crying? 〖, 、, 2 are generated across the X, Y axis across the touch panel = squaring waves 25, 26 to form a detection matrix on the plate. u read the _' is a cross-sectional view of the surface wave applied to the touch. As shown in the figure, the emission test is composed of a piezoelectric crystal 21a and a synthetic transparent resin 21b'. The receiver 23 is composed of a "Huodian crystal" and a synthetic transparent resin. 8 201005608 ψ In operation, the driver 27 transmits an electrical signal to the piezoelectric crystal 21a to generate a vibration, so that the synthetic transparent resin 21b generates a surface acoustic wave 28 and passes along the flat plate 2〇3 to the synthetic transparent resin 23b at the other end. The vibration is generated, and the piezoelectric crystal 23a converts the vibration into an electric signal to the receiver 23, and then passes through the signal detector 29. The control system 3 performs signal analysis processing. When the user touches the plate, the surface waves 25, 26 transmitted on the plate are blocked, i.e., the energy of the surface wave is absorbed, thereby causing the control system 3 to calculate the user's point of contact. © However, the touch panel composed of the arrayed emission transducer and the array receiving transducer will make the structure of the touch panel more complicated, and the resolution and signal processing of the touch panel The method is closely related. Moreover, the resolution of the touch panel is the same as the pitch of the transducer, so that a high-resolution product cannot be obtained under the limitation of the process technology cost. Therefore, how to provide a surface acoustic wave touch panel system which can improve the resolution and processing speed, and avoid the lack of the prior art, has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry. ,
