Description

觸控裝置及應用在觸控裝置的物件判斷方法 Touch device and object determining method for touch device

本發明是關於一種觸控裝置,尤指一種在觸控面板上執行物件判斷及具有該觸控面板的觸控裝置。 The present invention relates to a touch device, and more particularly to a touch device for performing object determination on a touch panel and having the touch panel.

目前許多可攜式電子裝置都採用觸控介面,在運用方式、對象更為多元廣泛的狀況下,觸控介面由傳統的單點觸控、雙點觸控,逐漸發展為多點觸控,更進一步提供物件辨識的功能。以智慧型手機為例,在選擇接聽來電後,其觸控介面會與使用者的耳朵接觸,在此狀況下,智慧型手機被要求可以判斷和觸控介面接觸的是使用者的耳朵(接聽通話中)或是執行其他的功能手指。 At present, many portable electronic devices use a touch interface. The touch interface is gradually developed into a multi-touch by the traditional single-touch and dual-touch functions in a wider variety of applications and objects. Further providing the function of object recognition. Taking a smart phone as an example, after selecting an incoming call, the touch interface will be in contact with the user's ear. In this case, the smart phone is required to judge that the touch interface is in contact with the user's ear (answering During a call) or perform other function fingers.

上述物件判斷功能目前多實現在二維的觸控面板上,而投射式電容觸控面板是二維觸控面板的一種,此種投射式電容觸控面板主要是在一基板上以多道製程分別形成X軸感應層、絕緣層、架橋、Y軸感應層等,利用X軸、Y軸感應層上交錯且相鄰設置的X軸、Y軸感應電極間分別形成共生電容,當有手指或物件觸摸將改變其電容值,而利用控制器持續掃描各個成串X軸、Y軸感應電 極,以偵測電容值的變化,進而判斷出觸摸座標所在;基於上述的工作原理,物件判斷在二維觸控面板上被認為較容易實現。 The object judgment function is currently implemented on a two-dimensional touch panel, and the projected capacitive touch panel is a type of a two-dimensional touch panel. The projected capacitive touch panel is mainly a multi-channel process on a substrate. Forming an X-axis sensing layer, an insulating layer, a bridge, a Y-axis sensing layer, etc., respectively, forming a symbiotic capacitance between the X-axis and the Y-axis sensing electrodes staggered and adjacently disposed on the X-axis and Y-axis sensing layers, when there is a finger or The object touch will change its capacitance value, and the controller will continuously scan each string of X-axis and Y-axis induction In order to detect the change of the capacitance value, the touch coordinates are determined; based on the above working principle, the object judgment is considered to be easier to implement on the two-dimensional touch panel.

但在一維觸控面板實現物件判斷,技術上確實存在困難,一種已知的一維觸控面板係如圖8所示,主要係在一基板80上以水平方向併排形成有多數的條狀感應電極81,每一感應電極81分別由以互補方向排列的兩三角形的左電極部811和右電極部812所組成;其利用偵測各個感應電極81的感應量來判斷使用者觸摸的位置,進而執行對應的功能。 However, it is technically difficult to determine the object in the one-dimensional touch panel. A known one-dimensional touch panel is as shown in FIG. 8 , and is mainly formed on a substrate 80 in a horizontal direction and formed with a plurality of strips. Each of the sensing electrodes 81 is composed of two triangular left electrode portions 811 and right electrode portions 812 arranged in a complementary direction; and the sensing amount of each sensing electrode 81 is used to determine the position touched by the user. Then perform the corresponding function.

由於一維觸控面板最多只支援兩點觸控,且兩點觸控位置不能位在同一感應電極81上,否則將無法辨識。由於支援的多點觸控功能已極其有限,更遑論在一維觸控面板實現物件的判斷。 Since the one-dimensional touch panel supports only two touches at most, and the two touch positions cannot be located on the same sensing electrode 81, it will not be recognized. Since the supported multi-touch function has been extremely limited, let alone the judgment of the object in the one-dimensional touch panel.

已知美國公開第20080158168號「遠場圖像辨識方法」(FAR-FIELD INPUT IDENTIFICATION)發明專利案,主要是鑒於現有的接觸式(touch)或接近式(proximity)感測器,以及其支援的軟硬體皆無法提供辨識接觸或接近物件的形狀,因此提供一種在多點式觸控表面(multi-touch touch-surface)上接近但未接觸物件的辨識方法,用以在觸控板上偵測非接觸(hover)的物件(如耳朵、臉頰);具體方法是在取得接近影像(proximity image)後,由接近影像產生遠場圖像(far-field image)。藉由結合對應於接近影像的背景畫素之遠場圖像畫素產生遠場圖像圖像值,當遠場圖像值高出門檻值時,判斷物件位於觸控板上方(hovering),若 是則啟動電子裝置的功能,具體的應用可以在智慧型手機上判斷趨近手機上聽筒的耳朵、臉頰,以便控制智慧型手機上的特定功能項目。 The invention patent of the "FAR-FIELD INPUT IDENTIFICATION" is disclosed in the prior art, mainly in view of the existing touch or proximity sensor, and its support. Soft and hard objects are not able to provide the shape of the identification contact or proximity object, thus providing a method for identifying but not touching objects on a multi-touch touch-surface for detecting on the touch panel. A non-hover object (such as an ear or a cheek) is measured; a specific method is to generate a far-field image from the proximity image after obtaining a proximity image. The far-field image image value is generated by combining the far-field image pixels corresponding to the background pixels close to the image, and when the far-field image value is higher than the threshold value, the object is determined to be hovering on the touch panel. If It is the function of starting the electronic device. The specific application can judge the ear and cheek of the handset on the mobile phone on the smart phone to control the specific function items on the smart phone.

前述美國公開專利案對於物件的辨識,主要是基於接近圖像大致上為橢圓形,因此遠場圖像值可以使用橢圓長軸與短軸(major/minor radii)中之短軸作為參數判斷是否高出門檻值。換言之,前述美國公開專利案對於遠場圖像的辨識依然是在二維的基礎下實現,且運算方式較為複雜。而如前揭所述,一維觸控面板就兩點觸控的支援猶諸多限制,更遑論物件的辨識;而如前述美國公開專利案所提出非接觸(hover)物件的辨識,對於一維觸控面板而言,技術上更待突破。 The identification of the object in the aforementioned U.S. Patent is mainly based on the proximity image being substantially elliptical. Therefore, the far-field image value can be determined by using the short axis of the major axis and the minor axis (major/minor radii) as a parameter. Above the threshold. In other words, the identification of the far-field image by the aforementioned US Patent Publication is still implemented on a two-dimensional basis, and the calculation method is complicated. As mentioned above, the one-dimensional touch panel has many limitations on the support of two-point touch, let alone the identification of objects; and the identification of non-contact objects proposed by the aforementioned US Patent Publication for one-dimensional In terms of touch panels, the technology needs to be broken.

由上述可知,物件判斷對於觸控介面逐漸成為必要的功能,二維觸控面板就物件判斷雖較易實現,但通常涉及複雜的運算法;而一維觸控面板就現有技術最多只支援兩點觸控,更遑論是判斷物件。 It can be seen from the above that the object judgment gradually becomes a necessary function for the touch interface. The two-dimensional touch panel is easy to implement for object judgment, but usually involves a complicated algorithm; and the one-dimensional touch panel supports only two at most in the prior art. Point touch, let alone judge the object.

因此本發明主要目的在提供一種應用在觸控裝置的物件判斷方法,其可適用在一維和二維的觸控面板上,以突破既有一維觸控面板無法有效辨識物件的瓶頸,亦可解決二維觸控面板判斷物件演算複雜的問題。 Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for determining an object applied to a touch device, which can be applied to a one-dimensional and two-dimensional touch panel, so as to break through the bottleneck of the one-dimensional touch panel that cannot effectively identify the object, and can also solve the problem. The two-dimensional touch panel judges the complexity of the object calculation.

The electrode defines a detection area, and the detection area includes one or more sensing electrodes adjacent to the sensing electrode having the largest sensing amount; comparing the maximum sensing amount with the sensing amount of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area, if the maximum When the ratio of the sensing amount to the sensing amount of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area is less than a first set value, it is regarded as a first object being recognized.

前述方法係利用觸控裝置上相鄰感應電極間的感應量變化作為一物件的辨識依據,藉以達成在觸控面板上辨識物件的目的。 In the foregoing method, the sensing quantity change between adjacent sensing electrodes on the touch device is used as the identification basis of an object, thereby achieving the purpose of identifying the object on the touch panel.

關於本發明應用觸控裝置的物件判斷方法的一較佳實施例,首先請參閱圖1所示,所稱的觸控裝置包含一觸控面板,該觸控面板主要是在一基板10的一表面上設有一第一感應層20,該第一感應層20主要是由多數在前述基板10表面上沿著一第一方向併排的感應電極21所 組成,並藉以構成一個一維的觸控介面。所稱的感應層20可以由各種不同形狀的感應電極構成,如圖1所示,構成第一感應層20的各個感應電極21分別由一左電極部L01~L12和一右電極部R01~R12所組成,該左、右電極部L01~L12、R01~R12係呈相對的三角形,其以斜邊相對的互補方向交錯排列。又請參閱圖2所示,揭示有另一種一維感應層的感應電極形狀,該等感應電極21分別由單一矩形條狀的電極所構成。以上兩種感應層形狀僅為舉例而已,意即本發明所稱的第一感應層20包含但不限於前述兩種形式。為方便說明,以下謹就圖1所示的第一感應層20說明本發明物件判斷方法的工作原理,前述第一感應層20中各個感應電極21的左、右電極部L01~L12、R01~R12將分別和一控制器(圖中未示)連接,由控制器判斷各個感應電極21的感應量(dS),進而根據感應量的變化進行物件判斷。 For a preferred embodiment of the method for determining the object of the touch device of the present invention, first, referring to FIG. 1 , the touch device includes a touch panel, and the touch panel is mainly a substrate 10 . A first sensing layer 20 is disposed on the surface, and the first sensing layer 20 is mainly composed of a plurality of sensing electrodes 21 arranged along a first direction on the surface of the substrate 10. Formed and used to form a one-dimensional touch interface. The sensing layer 20 can be composed of sensing electrodes of various shapes. As shown in FIG. 1 , the sensing electrodes 21 constituting the first sensing layer 20 are respectively composed of a left electrode portion L01 L12 and a right electrode portion R01 R12. In the composition, the left and right electrode portions L01 to L12 and R01 to R12 are opposite triangles, which are staggered in a complementary direction in which the oblique sides face each other. Referring to FIG. 2, another shape of the sensing electrode of the one-dimensional sensing layer is disclosed. The sensing electrodes 21 are respectively formed by electrodes of a single rectangular strip shape. The above two sensing layer shapes are merely examples, that is, the first sensing layer 20 referred to in the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the foregoing two forms. For convenience of description, the working principle of the object determining method of the present invention will be described below with respect to the first sensing layer 20 shown in FIG. 1. The left and right electrode portions L01~L12 and R01~ of the sensing electrodes 21 in the first sensing layer 20 are described. R12 will be respectively connected to a controller (not shown), and the controller determines the sensing amount (dS) of each sensing electrode 21, and then determines the object according to the change of the sensing amount.

關於各個感應電極21的感應量偵測是透過下式取得:dSn=dVLn+dVRn其中dVLn為一感應電極的左電極部的電容感應值,dVRn為同一感應電極的右電極部的電容感應值,該感應電極的感應量即為左、右電極部的電容感應值的相加。 The sensing amount of each sensing electrode 21 is obtained by: dS n =dV Ln +dV Rn where dV Ln is the capacitance sensing value of the left electrode portion of a sensing electrode, and dV Rn is the right electrode portion of the same sensing electrode The capacitance sensing value, the sensing amount of the sensing electrode is the sum of the capacitance sensing values of the left and right electrode portions.

The electrode 21 is respectively L01+R01, L02+R02, L03+R03, L04+R04, L05+R05, L06+R06, L07+R07, L08+R08, L09+R09, L10+R10, L11+R11, L12+R12 is shown; the vertical axis indicates the amount of inductance dS of each of the aforementioned sensing electrodes 21.

由已測得具有感應量的感應電極中判斷出具有一最大感應量的感應電極(402),並定義為一目標感應電極;根據圖3所示,第二個感應電極(L02+R02)具有最大的感應量dS2,因此第二個感應電極(L02+R02)為目標感應電極。 The sensing electrode (402) having a maximum sensing amount is determined from the measured sensing electrode, and is defined as a target sensing electrode; according to FIG. 3, the second sensing electrode (L02+R02) has The maximum sensing amount dS2, so the second sensing electrode (L02+R02) is the target sensing electrode.

接著定義一偵測區(403),主要是將鄰近該具有最大感應量dS2之感應電極(L02+R02)的一個以上感應電極定義為一偵測區22,請配合參閱圖1、圖3所示,該偵測區22理論上包含了第三個感應電極(L03+R03)以後的一個以上感應電極(如L04+R04、L05+R05或L06+R06等),由於物件接近或觸摸觸控面板時,除了使預定觸摸位置的感應電極感應外,也有非常大的可能同時使相鄰的另一感應電極產生很大的感應量,為排除誤動作,將忽略與最大感應量dS2感應電極(L02+R02)相鄰的感應電極(L03+R03),意即偵測區22不包含與最大感應量dS2感應電極(L02+R02)相鄰的感應電極(L03+R03);根據最大感應量dS2和偵測區22內一個以上感應電極的感應量的變化量(例如差值、比值)以辨識一第一物件;在本實施例中,係比較該最大感應量dS2與該偵測區22內一個以上感應電極的感應量(404),並判斷該最大感應量dS2與該偵測區22內一個以上感應電極的感應量 之間的變化量小於一第一限定值時,視為一第一物件被辨識;假設前述第一限定值是800,當最大感應量dS2與該偵測區22內一個以上感應電極的感應量之間的變化量小於800時,即辨識出一第一物件。若其變化量大於800,則視為一第二物件被辨識(405)。 Then, a detection area (403) is defined, which is mainly defined as one detection area 22 adjacent to the sensing electrode (L02+R02) having the maximum sensing quantity dS2. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 together. The detection area 22 theoretically includes more than one sensing electrode after the third sensing electrode (L03+R03) (such as L04+R04, L05+R05 or L06+R06, etc.), due to object proximity or touch touch. In the panel, in addition to sensing the sensing electrode at the predetermined touch position, there is a very large possibility that the adjacent sensing electrode will generate a large amount of inductance at the same time. To eliminate the malfunction, the sensing electrode with the maximum sensing amount dS2 will be ignored (L02). +R02) the adjacent sensing electrode (L03+R03), that is, the detecting area 22 does not include the sensing electrode (L03+R03) adjacent to the maximum sensing amount dS2 sensing electrode (L02+R02); according to the maximum sensing amount dS2 Comparing the amount of change (eg, difference, ratio) of the sensing quantity of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area 22 to identify a first object; in this embodiment, comparing the maximum sensing quantity dS2 with the detecting area 22 The sensing amount of one or more sensing electrodes (404), and determining the maximum sensing amount dS2 The detection area 22 a quantity of more sensing sensing electrodes When the amount of change is less than a first limit value, it is regarded as a first object is recognized; assuming that the first limit value is 800, when the maximum sensed amount dS2 and the sensing amount of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area 22 When the amount of change between them is less than 800, a first object is recognized. If the amount of change is greater than 800, then a second object is considered to be recognized (405).

為確保第一物件辨識的準確性,本實施例在前述變化量小於第一限定值時,將進一步判斷變化量是否更小於一第二限定值(例如500)(406),若是,才判斷第一物件被辨識出(407)。 In order to ensure the accuracy of the first object identification, in the embodiment, when the change amount is less than the first limit value, it is further determined whether the change amount is smaller than a second limit value (for example, 500) (406), and if so, the first judgment is made. An object is identified (407).

前述偵測區22的感應量可以是單一感應電極的感應量,也可以是二個以上感應電極的感應量總和或感應量的平均值。 The sensing amount of the detecting area 22 may be an induction amount of a single sensing electrode, or may be an average of the sensing amount or the sensing amount of two or more sensing electrodes.

關於本發明物件判斷方法的又一較佳實施例,請參閱圖5所示,其包括:偵測各感應電極21的感應量(501);由已測得具有感應量的感應電極中判斷出具有一最大感應量的感應電極(502);定義一偵測區(503),主要是將鄰近該具有最大感應量dS2之感應電極(L02+R02)的一個以上感應電極定義為一偵測區22;比較該最大感應量dS2與該偵測區22內一個以上感應電極的感應量(504),並判斷該最大感應量dS2與該偵測區22內一個以上感應電極的感應量之間的比值Q小於一第一設定值時(例如8),視為一第一物件被辨識;當比值Q不小於第一設定值,則視為一第二物 件被辨識(505)。 A further preferred embodiment of the method for determining the object of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, includes: detecting the amount of induction of each of the sensing electrodes 21 (501); determining from the sensing electrodes that have been measured to have an amount of sensing The sensing electrode (502) having a maximum sensing amount; defining a detecting area (503), mainly defining one or more sensing electrodes adjacent to the sensing electrode (L02+R02) having the maximum sensing amount dS2 as a detecting area 22: Comparing the maximum sensing amount dS2 with the sensing amount of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area 22 (504), and determining the maximum sensing amount dS2 and the sensing amount of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area 22 When the ratio Q is less than a first set value (for example, 8), it is regarded as a first object is recognized; when the ratio Q is not less than the first set value, it is regarded as a second object The piece is identified (505).

為確保第一物件辨識的準確性,本實施例在前述比值Q小於第一設定值時,將進一步判斷比值Q是否更小於一第二設定值(例如3)(506),若是,才判斷第一物件被辨識出(507)。 In order to ensure the accuracy of the first object identification, in the embodiment, when the ratio Q is smaller than the first set value, it is further determined whether the ratio Q is smaller than a second set value (for example, 3) (506), and if so, the first judgment is made. An object is identified (507).

在前述實施例中,是取一較大的第一設定值及一較小的第二設定值,經依序判斷比值Q是否小於第一設定值又小於第二設定值,以確定第一物件的辨識。惟除上述方式外,本發明亦可取一較大的第二設定值(例如8以上)及一較小的第一設定值(例如3)。而在判斷方法也略有差異,主要是在判斷比值Q小於第一設定值時,辨識為第一物件;當比值Q大於第一設定值,則進一步判斷比值Q是否大於第二設定值,若是,則辨識為第二物件;利用上述方法可進一步提升第二物件的辨識準確性。 In the foregoing embodiment, a larger first set value and a smaller second set value are taken, and it is sequentially determined whether the ratio Q is smaller than the first set value and smaller than the second set value to determine the first object. Identification. However, in addition to the above, the present invention may take a larger second set value (e.g., 8 or more) and a smaller first set value (e.g., 3). The judgment method is also slightly different, mainly when the judgment ratio Q is smaller than the first set value, and is recognized as the first object; when the ratio Q is greater than the first set value, it is further determined whether the ratio Q is greater than the second set value, and if , the second object is identified; the above method can further improve the identification accuracy of the second object.

至於偵測區22內的感應電極數量及其感應量,本實施例係令偵測區22含有三個感應電極L04+R04、L05+R05和L06+R06,而前述比值Q是由最大感應量dS2和偵測區22內三個感應電極L04+R04、L05+R05、L06+R06的感應量總和所運算取得,其算式如下: As for the number of sensing electrodes in the detecting area 22 and the amount of sensing thereof, the detecting unit 22 has three sensing electrodes L04+R04, L05+R05 and L06+R06, and the ratio Q is the maximum sensing amount. The sum of the sensing quantities of the three sensing electrodes L04+R04, L05+R05, L06+R06 in the dS2 and the detecting area 22 is calculated and calculated as follows:

必須說明的是:前述比值Q的運算基礎之一(分母)可以是偵測區22中的單個感應電極,也可以是偵測區22內中二個以上的感應電極,例如前述的三個感應電極,並以其感應量的總和作為運算比值Q的基礎。 It should be noted that one of the operational bases (denominator) of the foregoing ratio Q may be a single sensing electrode in the detecting area 22, or may be two or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area 22, for example, the foregoing three sensings. The electrode, and the sum of its inductive quantities, is used as the basis for the operational ratio Q.

前述比值Q的大小將反應出一個物件特徵的 強弱,具體而言,前述方法可以辨識出一個橫跨數個感應電極而略呈長條狀的物件,當此類物件靠近或接觸第一感應層20時,會在一個感應電極上出現最大的感應量,在忽略與最大感應量感應電極相鄰的一感應電極,而取得下一個感應電極的感應量或以下兩個以上感應電極的感應量時,將呈現緩和減少的趨勢,在此狀況下,前述比值Q將會偏低,而物件特徵相對較強,則設定當比值Q小於第一設定值(例如Q值在8以下)時,辨識出第一物件,若比值Q大於第一設定值,則視為一第二物件。 The magnitude of the aforementioned ratio Q will reflect the characteristics of an object Strength and weakness, in particular, the foregoing method can identify an object that is slightly elongated across a plurality of sensing electrodes. When such objects approach or contact the first sensing layer 20, the largest one appears on one sensing electrode. The amount of induction, when ignoring a sensing electrode adjacent to the maximum sensing amount sensing electrode, and obtaining the sensing amount of the next sensing electrode or the sensing amount of the following two or more sensing electrodes, will exhibit a tendency to reduce and decrease, in this case If the ratio Q is relatively low and the object feature is relatively strong, the first object is identified when the ratio Q is smaller than the first set value (for example, the Q value is 8 or less), and if the ratio Q is greater than the first set value. , is considered a second object.

為確保辨識的正確性,可在比值Q小於第一設定值的基礎下,進一步判斷比值Q是否更小於一第二設定值(例如比值Q為3以下),則可更確認感應量的緩和減少趨勢,而相對提高辨識準確性。 In order to ensure the correctness of the identification, if the ratio Q is smaller than the first set value, it is further determined whether the ratio Q is smaller than a second set value (for example, the ratio Q is 3 or less), and the mitigation reduction of the sensing amount can be further confirmed. Trends, while relatively improving recognition accuracy.

當本發明採用較小的第一設定值(例如3)和較大的第二設定值進行物件判斷時,在最大感應量和偵測區22內的感應電極感應量呈驟降趨勢時,則前述比值Q定大於第一設定值,當其進一步大於一第二設定值(例如超過8),則視為一第二物件,其表示使用者觸摸位置明確具體,因此使除觸摸位置外的感應量驟減,可視為是一般的手指觸摸或筆尖觸摸。 When the present invention uses the smaller first set value (for example, 3) and the larger second set value for object determination, when the maximum sensed amount and the sensed electrode sensing amount in the detection area 22 are suddenly decreasing, then The ratio Q is greater than the first set value, and when it is further greater than a second set value (for example, more than 8), it is regarded as a second object, which indicates that the user touch position is specific, thus making the touch other than the touch position. The amount of sudden decrease can be regarded as a general finger touch or a pen tip touch.

前述各實施例對於比值Q的計算方式是以最大感應量為分子,偵測區22內一個以上感應電極的感應量作為分母,例如下式: In the foregoing embodiments, the ratio Q is calculated by using the maximum amount of inductance as a numerator, and the sensing amount of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area 22 is used as a denominator, for example, the following formula:

惟當前述比值的分子、分母倒置,例如下式: Only when the numerator and denominator of the aforementioned ratio are inverted, for example:

則比值Q大小所反應的辨識結果,即與前述實施例的辨識結果相反;亦即:當最大感應量與該偵測區22內一個以上感應電極的感應量之間的比值Q大於一第一設定值時(例如0.125),視為一第一物件被辨識;若比值Q小於第一設定值,則視為一第二物件。 Then, the identification result reflected by the ratio Q is opposite to the identification result of the foregoing embodiment; that is, the ratio Q between the maximum sensing amount and the sensing amount of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area 22 is greater than a first When the value is set (for example, 0.125), it is regarded as a first object is recognized; if the ratio Q is smaller than the first set value, it is regarded as a second object.

為確保第一物件的辨識準確性,在比值Q大於第一設定值時,將進一步判斷其是否更大於一第二設定值(0.25),若是,方判斷第一物件被辨識。 In order to ensure the identification accuracy of the first object, when the ratio Q is greater than the first set value, it is further determined whether it is greater than a second set value (0.25), and if so, the first object is determined to be recognized.

當本發明採用較大的第一設定值(例如0.25)和較小的第二設定值(0.125)進行物件判斷時,在最大感應量和偵測區22內的感應電極感應量呈驟降趨勢時,則前述比值Q定小於第一設定值,當其進一步小於一第二設定值(例如在0.125以下),則視為一第二物件,其表示使用者觸摸位置明確具體,因此使除觸摸位置外的感應量驟減,可視為是一般的手指觸摸或筆尖觸摸。 When the present invention uses a larger first set value (for example, 0.25) and a smaller second set value (0.125) for object determination, the sensing amount of the sensing electrode in the maximum sensing amount and the detecting area 22 is abruptly decreased. When the ratio Q is smaller than the first set value, and when it is further less than a second set value (for example, below 0.125), it is regarded as a second object, which indicates that the user touch position is specific, thus making the touch-free A sudden decrease in the amount of sensing outside the position can be regarded as a general finger touch or a pen tip touch.

至於應用前述物件判斷方法的觸控裝置,其一較佳實施例請參閱圖6所示,該觸控裝置為一手機,該手機具有一外殼30,外殼30上設有前述觸控面板,且在上、下端分別設有一聽筒31及一話筒32;而觸控面板上的感應層20將由靠近聽筒31的數個感應電極21構成一物件感應區33,由控制器在該物件感應區23內執行前述的物件判斷方法。 As shown in FIG. 6 , the touch device is a mobile phone having a housing 30 on which the foregoing touch panel is disposed, and An earpiece 31 and a microphone 32 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends; and the sensing layer 20 on the touch panel constitutes an object sensing area 33 by a plurality of sensing electrodes 21 adjacent to the earpiece 31, and the controller is in the object sensing area 23 Perform the aforementioned object determination method.

在本應用實施例中,第一感應層20上靠近外 殼30上所設聽筒的物件感應區23可用以取代傳統智慧型手機在其聽筒週邊處所設的光感測器,該光感測器用來在使用者接聽電話而以耳朵或臉頰貼近手機,並遮蓋該光感測器時,將會關閉手機的觸控及/或背光功能。而本發明以前述物件感應區23取代該光感測器後,當控制器由物件感應區23中已測得的感應量中判斷出具有一最大感應量的感應電極,並據以定義出與該最大感應量感應電極鄰近的偵測區後,進一步判斷出最大感應量與該偵測區內一個以上感應電極的感應量的變化量小於一第一限定值(例如800)時而辨識出第一物件時,可視為耳朵貼近,故執行第一功能項目以關閉背光及/或觸控功能。當使用者在通話中有輸入需求時,則在手指觸摸觸控面板時,由控制器判斷出最大感應量與該偵測區內一個以上感應電極的感應量的變化量進一步大於第一限定值時,則辨識出第二物件,隨即解除第一功能項目,恢復手機的背光功能。 In the application embodiment, the first sensing layer 20 is close to the outside. The object sensing area 23 of the earpiece provided on the casing 30 can be used to replace the light sensor provided by the traditional smart phone at the periphery of the earpiece, and the light sensor is used to answer the phone with the ear or cheek close to the mobile phone, and When the photo sensor is covered, the touch and/or backlight function of the mobile phone will be turned off. After the present invention replaces the photo sensor with the object sensing area 23, the controller determines the sensing electrode having a maximum sensing amount from the measured sensing quantity in the object sensing area 23, and defines the After the detection area adjacent to the maximum sensing quantity sensing electrode is further determined that the maximum sensing amount and the amount of change of the sensing quantity of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area are less than a first limit value (for example, 800), the first identification value is recognized. When an object is seen as being close to the ear, the first function item is executed to turn off the backlight and/or touch function. When the user has an input demand during the call, when the finger touches the touch panel, the controller determines that the maximum amount of sensing and the amount of change of the sensing amount of one or more sensing electrodes in the detecting area are further greater than the first limit value. When the second object is identified, the first function item is released and the backlight function of the mobile phone is restored.

當本發明在手機上實現時,可進一步在一維觸控面板上實現未接觸(hover)物件的辨識,而提供一接近式(proximity)感測器。 When the invention is implemented on a mobile phone, the identification of the hover object can be further realized on the one-dimensional touch panel, and a proximity sensor is provided.

為實現上述功能,本發明進一步令觸控裝置的控制器以一第一訊號強度偵測物件感應區23內各個感應電極的感應量,當控制器辨識出第二物件時,則以小於第一訊號強度的第二訊號強度掃描物件感應區23內的各個感應電極。由於控制器先以較強的第一訊號強度偵測物件感應區23的感應量,因此當使用者耳朵貼近而未接觸到觸控面板時,即能使物件感應區23內的感應電極出現感應 量,據以實現未接觸(hover)物件的辨識。若控制器辨識出第二物件(手指),則只須以一般訊號強度偵測其感應量,即可正常執行觸控功能。 In order to achieve the above functions, the controller further causes the controller of the touch device to detect the sensing amount of each sensing electrode in the sensing area 23 of the object by a first signal intensity, and when the controller recognizes the second object, it is smaller than the first The second signal intensity of the signal intensity scans the respective sensing electrodes within the object sensing area 23. Since the controller first detects the sensing amount of the object sensing area 23 with a strong first signal intensity, when the user's ear is close to the touch panel, the sensing electrode in the object sensing area 23 is induced. Amount, according to which the identification of the unhooked object is achieved. If the controller recognizes the second object (finger), the touch function can be performed normally only by detecting the amount of the sensor with the normal signal intensity.
