In terms of touch panels, the capacitive touch input interface is usually quite sensitive. When performing touch sensing, the effects of oil collapse and other dirt on the touch object are always unavoidable. Therefore, how to make the touch sensing device properly determine whether the touch object is a target to be detected is a current important subject.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned touch value is a capacitance change value of the touch object on the touch panel. The butterfly/·, the handle is in the embodiment - the above The touch amplitude value is a peak-to-peak value of the capacitance change value generated by the touch object on the touch panel. In one embodiment of the present invention, the first frame period and the second frame period respectively include multiple Number of frames. In the embodiment of the present invention, the above The calculation unit includes a number of frames for counting the number of units of the touch panel to calculate the first 201250525 frame period and the second frame period respectively. To make the above features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable The following is a detailed description of the embodiments, and is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. [Embodiment] FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B respectively show the capacitance change values of the sensing channels of the same-touch panel under different conditions. Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B , in general, the touch panel 110 generally includes a plurality of sensing channels 112 arranged along the X direction and a plurality of sensing channels 排列 14 arranged along the Y direction. The sensing channel 112 , 114 is used to sense the change in capacitance of the touch panel 11 caused by the touch object. The user shown in FIG. 1A has not touch-touched the touch panel 11 ' The measured channel 112 or 114 does not exceed the X threshold and the Y threshold. At this time, the touch panel 110 returns the result that the touch object is not detected. 1B is shown as a touch panel 11 due to touch objects The value of the capacitance change caused by the oil smash and other contamination effects. As shown in Figure iB, in the area covered by the dirt 200, the corresponding sensing channel 112'114 on the touch panel 11A generates a capacitance value. Therefore, when the change in the capacitance value exceeds the X threshold and the γ threshold, the touch panel 11 will return the coordinate value of the dirty 200 accordingly. However, the oil of the touch object and other dirt Generally, the touch panel is not the target of the touch panel. Therefore, the exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a touch sensing method, which can determine whether the touch sensing device is suitable for the touch object. In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in comparison with the user's finger or the stylus, the oily and other contamination of the touch object is not the target to be detected by the touch panel 110. . 2 is a functional block diagram of a touch sensing system according to an embodiment of the invention. 3A and 3B respectively show capacitance changes of the sensing channel of the same touch panel in different cases. The user shown in FIG. 3A performs a touch operation on the touch panel 110. FIG. 3B shows the change in capacitance of the touch panel 110 due to the oil collapse of the touch object and other effects of dirt. Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 3B , the touch sensing system 1 of the present embodiment includes a touch panel 110 and a touch sensing device 120 ′. The touch sensing device 120 includes a computing unit 122 and a determining unit 124 . And the computing unit 122 includes a counting unit 123. In this embodiment, the counting unit 123 is configured to count the number of frames of the touch panel 11A to define the first frame period T1 and the second frame period T2, respectively. Here, the first frame period T1 includes, for example, eight frame numbers, and the second frame period T2 includes, for example, twelve frame numbers. As shown in FIG. 3A , when the touch object 300 contacts the touch panel 110 , the touch object 300 generates touch values on the touch panel 11 . In this embodiment, the touch value is a capacitance change value generated by the touch object 300 on the touch panel 110, which is disturbed with time. The disturbance situation illustrated in Fig. 3A is the capacitance change value of the sensing channel 112 arranged along the X direction. Further, in Fig. 3A, the touch object 300 is exemplified by a user's finger, for example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. 201250525 Next, the determining unit 124 determines whether the capacitance change value generated by the touch object 3〇〇 on the touch panel u〇 is greater than a predetermined threshold TH. When the capacitance change value is greater than the preset threshold TH, the calculation unit 122 calculates the average value AV1 电容 of the capacitance change value of the touch object 3〇〇 in the first frame period T1, and the calculation unit 110 is in the second frame. During the period T2, a touch amplitude value API generated by the touch object 300 on the touch panel 110 is calculated based on the average value AV1' of the electric valley change value. Here, the touch amplitude value API is, for example, a peak-to-peak value of a capacitance change value generated by the touch object 300 on the touch panel 11A. Next, the determining unit 124 determines whether the touch amplitude value API is greater than a predetermined amplitude value N to determine whether the touch object 300 is the target to be detected. On the other hand, in Fig. 3B, the touch object is, for example, dirty 200. In general, the values of capacitance changes generated by different touch objects on the touch panel 11A are not the same. Therefore, when the touch panel 110 senses the dirtyness 2〇〇, the touch average value AV2 and the touch amplitude value AP2 calculated by the calculation unit 122 are compared with the touch average value AV1 and the touch amplitude value API of FIG. 3A. Not the same. Therefore, based on different touch objects having different touch amplitude values, the designer can set the preset amplitude value N according to the design requirement, so that the touch sensing device 12 can appropriately determine whether the touch object is A target to be detected. In the present embodiment, the target of the user's finger or the stylus touch panel 110 is detected as compared with the oily and other dirty of the touch object. 4 is a flow chart of a touch sensing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The process is performed on the touch sensing device 120. For example, the touch sensing method of the present embodiment can be executed on the touch sensing device 120. . In step S400, the counting unit 123 counts the number of frames of the touch panel 11G to define the first frame period T1 and the first frame period T2, respectively. In the present embodiment, the first frame period T1 includes, for example, eight frame numbers. The second frame period T2 includes, for example, twelve frame numbers, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The count value of the counting unit 123 continues to increase as time progresses. In step S402, the calculation unit m confirms the current timing according to the count value of the counting unit 123. If the count value of the frame number is less than 8, it means that the current & frame period T T touch sensing method will perform step S404 ° in step S4 〇 4 'the calculation unit 122 continues to receive the touch panel Π 0 input Capacitance change value. Until the count value of the number of frames is equal to 8, the touch sensing is performed, and the method proceeds to step S4G6. In step S4G6, the calculating unit 122 calculates the touch average value AV1 of the touch object 3〇〇. At this time, the counting unit 123 continuously counts the frame of the touch panel u〇. In step S408, if the count value of the number of frames is less than 2, the representative timing is still in the second frame period T2, and the touch sensing method proceeds to step S41. In step S41G, the calculation unit S I22 continuously receives the capacitance change value of the person input by the touch panel 110. The count value of the logarithm is equal to, the touch sensing method starts with step (4) 2. In the step, the calculation unit 122 calculates the touch amplitude value AP of the touch object 300. In step S414, the determination unit 124 determines whether the touch amplitude value AP1 is greater than the preset amplitude value N to determine the touch. Whether the object 3 is the target of the machine detection. If the touch amplitude value API is greater than the preset amplitude value 201250525 N, it means that the touch object 300 is the target of the Russian test. For example, in FIG. 3A, the touch amplitude value Αρι of the touch object 3GG is greater than the preset amplitude value N′, then in step S416, the determination unit 124 determines that the touch object 3 is the user's finger or touch. Pen, which is the target of the desire side. Conversely, if the touch amplitude value Αρι is smaller than the preset amplitude value N, it means that the touch object 300 is not the target to be detected. For example, in FIG. 3B, the touch amplitude value Ap2 of the touch object 300 is less than the preset amplitude value N, then in step S418, the determining unit 124 determines that the touch object 3 is the oily object of the touch object or Other dirt, it is not the target to be detected. Then, in step S420, the count value of the counting unit 123 is reset to 0. The touch sensing method returns to step S400 to enter the first frame period T1' again for the next stage of touch sensing. In this embodiment, the oil collapse and other contamination of the touch object are not the objects to be detected by the touch panel 11 compared to the user's finger or the stylus, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
