A specific embodiment of the power saving device will be described below with reference to Fig. 1. Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a power saving device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electrical device 100 is suitable for a capacitive touch screen (not shown). The capacitive touch screen includes a plurality of scan lines, such as scan lines 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 ° In FIG. 1, the scan lines 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 can be divided into first traces 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and second scan lines. 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, wherein the first scan lines 11, 12, 13 14, 15 and the second scan line 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 are vertically insulated and intersected. It should be understood that although the first scan line of Fig. 1 is only 5; and the second scan line is only 5, However, this does not limit the present invention. In practice, the skilled person should flexibly select the number of the first scan line and the second scan line as needed. In the first figure, the power saving device 100 includes touch detection. The module 110, the switch module 120 and the power-saving scanning module 130. The touch detection module 110 is configured to periodically scan the scan lines 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 〇 24, 25, according to whether the capacitive touch screen is touched. When the capacitive touch screen is not touched, the switch module 120 is used to close the touch detection module 110. Thus, the touch detection module 110 stops scanning the scan lines 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 °. On the other hand, after the touch detection module 110 is turned off, The power-saving scanning module 130 is configured to select at least one set of scan lines from the scan lines 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and periodically scan the set of scan lines simultaneously. The set of scan lines that are synchronously scanned is sufficient to sense whether the capacitive touch screen is touched. For example, the power-saving scanning module 130 selects all the scanning lines 11, 5, 201039223 12, 13, -15, 2! Scans the scanning lines U 22 23, 24, 25 ' and periodically synchronizes the t-scan lines 21, 22, Um; 130 select all of the scan lines 21, 22, 23, 24 weeks to synchronously scan the second sweep line U, 12, 13, 14, ' △ select J electric scan module 130 ο The line f periodically scans the set of the first-group-scan-throw lines 11, 13, 15 or lines, for example, the odd-numbered f-th sweep modules 130 on the second scan H lines 12, 14; or Selecting at least a group of second broadcasts Z green 22, 23, 24, 25 of the selected lines, for example, an odd number of rows: sweep = sexually synchronously scan the set of second scan lines 22, 24. Real mm1 j, Μ or even second scan = touch on the capacitive touch screen 2: The scan line is enough for the artist to view the need to flexibly choose at the time to be familiar with this technique as a capacitor The touch screen is available for scanning scan lines. The module 110 is configured to periodically detect one by one touch operation, the touch detection detections 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, the known lines 11, U, 13, 14 and the fast response speed, and can be used according to Detect better control resolution and user touch. The user touches, touches, and idles the capacitive touch screen. The operation of the t panel can be divided into three parts: the screen is not touched by the user. The touch is used for the capacitive touch screen; while the touch and wait for the touch time to be touched, the touch test mode is ^, the touch period. The touch detection lines η, 12, 13, 14 ί 2lU 〇 are used to periodically scan the touch detection module 110 for setting the electric machines 22, 23, 24, 25. In practice, after the waiting time, after the waiting time, the screen after the touch screen is touched is not touched by the user, then Christine;; tapping 'that is, the capacitive touch fluorescent state, and Simultaneously entering the power-saving mode touch screen is in an idle state, and the opening module 120 is used for 6 201039223: stopping the action of the touch detection module 110, synchronously scanning the scan lines; Electricity, module 130 weeks - if 4 touch at least one set of sweep lines. At 21, 22, the detection result means that t is not used for touch operation; J' only needs to detect the accuracy of the operation at this time. Therefore, the switch module 120 periodically scans the scan lines of the scan group for the sub-capacitive touch lines 11, 12, 13, 14 / 15, and 13G. For example, at least 22, 23, 24, 25, at least _ step scan of the first sweep line 5U, 12', ^ scan module 13 〇 for periodically with the drawing module 130 for the same, 14, 15; In other words, power-saving sweep 11, U, 13, 14, 15 ^: signal to all the first scan line, the number of charge and discharge is reduced, the number of times. The fewer the number of scans, the other side, the fine build to save power. During the period, the scan-by-scan U〇 can be used in the first scan of the segment, and the synchronous scan can be used to scan at least one of the second sweeps 22, 23, 24, 25 each time: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, the drawing period can be approximately equal to the second drawing line. As for the first sweeping invention described above, in practice, the first work is merely an illustration, and there is no limitation period. The library period of the skilled person can be greater or less than the second scan week. Please continue to refer to the first elastic adjustment. It. The capacitive touch screen is electrically connected to the device 100 including the switching module 14A. The detection module 110 is turned off: the switching module 140 is used to activate the touch operation, and if the scanning module 120 is saved. In the case of a capacitive touch screen, the 枳 group 130 detects the precise position of the user's re-touching, and the 'j, 、, σ fruit may need to detect the action of using the tracing module 130. The switching module 140 is configured to stop the power saving scan of the first scan lines 11 , 12 , 1 into the touch detection module 11 , periodically sweep, 3, w, 15 and the second scan lines 21 , 22 , 7 201039223 Control resolution and faster response speed in this control. 120, power-saving scanning module 130 disk testing module 110, switching module touch screen driving circuit = for integration in the capacitive medium driving circuit can be used to handle the pinch = power saving for the driving circuit, which is internal The information that can be read and controlled is externally input to the signal conversion switch module 120, the power-saving scanning on the touch-sensitive debt testing module 110, and the implementation manner can be a software program or a hard one. The specific mode of the replacement module I40 needs to be flexibly selected at that time. In fact, expansion. Those skilled in the art should be Ο Ο all hardware circuits, part of the teaching f 2, do not need to be all software programs or continue to refer to the i-th diagram, should be the hardware T screen also includes backlight 030, back 1 inch capacitive touch group 160. When the capacitive touch screen is not U =0 and the backlight start mode is used to turn off the backlight 030. Thus, when the backlight switch module 150 touch screen is touched, the backlight is activated == no light two J capacitor 030. Thus, the backlight 〇3〇 is used to emit light. 〇 used to activate the backlight. In practice, if the touch detection module u 〇 touch operation, the m switch module ΐ 5 〇ϊΜ ^ user does not achieve power saving purposes. On the other hand, if the FF light source 030 is saved, the user can touch the capacitive touch screen again; the two groups 130 detect the active backlight 030 to provide sufficient light. In the present embodiment, the backlight switch finger module 160 can also be integrated into the flip-flop of the capacitive touch screen and the backlight start-up, and the backlight switch module 150 is the same: == two The format can be a software program or a hardware circuit. The implementation of this item 2 needs to be flexible in the implementation of the implementation, the artist should be based on the current circuit, part of the software program or part of the presentation or all hard to another aspect of the invention is a province Electric capacitive touch screen, or widely used & 彳,, /, P... used in the next will be accompanied by the second picture to the first description of the heart / body two ▲ 8 201039223: kind of province ί two f 2 figure is One of the other embodiments in accordance with the present invention includes the following steps 210-25.庑# The steps of the method of correcting electricity 200, except for the hardware devices mentioned in the example, are specifically described as follows. It’s a slap in the face, so it’s no longer important. In step 210, it periodically scans = ί 萤 == degrees and can detect the capacitance of the sensor when it touches the touch. Oh. Therefore, in step 220, the power-saving mode touch screen is used to select the plurality of scan lines one by one, that is, to stop periodically selecting at least one set of scan lines, and to cycle whether the same line is selected to be touched. In other words, Step 220: Sense = type; control the scan line of the screen group, to reduce the number of scans, the number of charge and discharge is reduced, thereby achieving power saving (four) - the fewer the number of people's example, in step 220, the pendulum, the seedling line 'and Periodically synchronizing the sweeps = all of the first scan lines of the screen; or, in steps: f2〇f, periodically synchronizing the scan scan lines' and periodically scanning the scans: Women 2Π^ 9 201039223 Step 220 And scanning the first at least one first scan line, - the trace line or the even number of first scan lines, and selecting at least one of the first scan lines of the odd line, for example In step 220, the second scan line of the second group, for example, an odd number of J lines, and periodically scans the traces. In practice, as long as the sync sweeps, the patch or the even strips of the second scan capacitive touch The touch of the screen can be sensed and cut. It is enough for the user to flexibly choose to use the + 'can be used at the time. It is familiar with the skill of the skilled person. 'Step 220 Scanning of the synchronized sweeping ο If the screen is detected in step 220, the detection is detected. The result means that the user touches the capacitive touch screen. Therefore, the step 2 ° can be stopped = whether the capacitive touch-sensitive capacitive touch screen is touched or not, and return to step 210 to continue detecting Step 230 is used in the capacitive hybrid back-to-back J source side. The backlight does not emit light. The borrowing is controlled by the control: 'On the other hand, if the purpose is measured in step 210. The detection result means that when touched, the detection result means It may be necessary to first: the control screen is subjected to the precise position. Therefore, in step 240, the operation of the 〇 line is scanned for the position of _ electric 2:=2 control. More specifically, ^, in the step fist touch , the scan line 'to achieve a better control resolution, the η capacitive touch screen is touched when the starter source. So, the light source can be illuminated, so as to provide sufficient light. For step 220 Further comparison with step 240, & ^ according to Figure 3 Figure 3 is a sequence diagram of the steps and steps of Figure 2, as shown in the figure, when the operation is in the normal mode in step 24, the scanning lines S1, S2, S3 can be described one by one. ...Sn, in order to achieve better resolution and faster response speed. During the scanning process, the scan line = the pulse width of the scan signal is lt. For example, the scan at step 24〇 201039223 frequency It can be between hundreds of kHz and several MHz. In contrast, when operating in the power saving mode in step 220, since it is only necessary to detect whether the capacitive touch screen is touched, the scanning can be periodically synchronized. a plurality of scan lines S1, S2, S3...Sn for power saving purposes. Alternatively, if the scan lines S1, S2, S3 to Sn can be divided into a first scan line and a second scan line, wherein the first scan The first scanning line or the second scanning line is periodically synchronously scanned to achieve power saving. In FIG. 3, the scan period T2 of step 220 is approximately equal to the scan period T1 of step 240. However, this is merely an example and does not limit the present invention. In practice, the scan period T2 of step 220 may be greater or smaller than the scan of step 240. The cycle 〇T1, those skilled in the art should be flexible at the time. It can be seen from the above embodiments of the present invention that when the capacitive touch screen is not touched, a part of the specific scan lines can be scanned synchronously to reduce the number of scans. When the number of scans is less, the number of charge and discharge times is reduced, so the application of the present invention has the advantage of saving power for the capacitive touch screen. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention can be modified and retouched without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope shall be subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached. ® [Simple Description of the Drawings] Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a power saving device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
