Description

電阻式觸碰控制系統及感測方法Resistive touch control system and sensing method

本發明是有關於一種電阻式觸碰系統,且特別是有關於一種可分區掃描的電阻式觸碰控制系統及感測方法。The present invention relates to a resistive touch system, and more particularly to a resistive touch control system and sensing method for partitionable scanning.

電阻式觸控螢幕可以說是目前使用量最多的一種觸控技術,其驅動原理是利用電壓降的方式來計算座標,亦即,在多條X軸線和Y軸線上各施加一電壓來驅動。當電阻式觸控螢幕被觸碰到時,由於迴路被導通,而會產生電壓降,而控制器則會算出電壓降所佔的比例然後更進一步算出座標軸。Resistive touch screen can be said to be the most used touch technology at present. The driving principle is to calculate the coordinates by means of voltage drop, that is, to apply a voltage on each of the X axis and the Y axis to drive. When the resistive touch screen is touched, a voltage drop occurs because the loop is turned on, and the controller calculates the ratio of the voltage drop and then further calculates the coordinate axis.

當電阻式觸控螢幕被觸碰時,會根據產生壓降之X軸線和Y軸線的交叉來判斷觸碰點的座標。更進一步地說,當掃描所有的X軸線時,僅能得到某一條X軸線產生壓降的掃描結果;類似的,當掃描所有的Y軸線時也僅能得到某一條Y軸線產生壓降的掃描結果。因此,若想要判斷觸碰點的座標,就需要將掃描X軸線與掃描Y軸線所分別得到的兩個掃描結果組合才能得知。When the resistive touch screen is touched, the coordinates of the touch point are determined based on the intersection of the X-axis and the Y-axis that generate the pressure drop. Furthermore, when scanning all the X axes, only a scan result of the pressure drop of one X axis can be obtained; similarly, when scanning all the Y axes, only a scan of the pressure drop of the Y axis can be obtained. result. Therefore, if you want to determine the coordinates of the touch point, you need to combine the two scan results obtained by scanning the X axis and scanning the Y axis respectively.

然而,此種方式雖然在單點觸碰時不會有誤判的狀況產生,卻並不適用於多點觸碰的操作環境。以兩個觸碰點為例,當實際觸碰點之座標為(X1 ,Y2 )與(X2 ,Y1 )時,在檢視掃描X軸線所得到的掃描結果時將會發現X1 軸線與X2 軸線產生壓降,而在檢視掃描Y軸線所得到的掃描結果時則會發現Y1 軸線與Y2 軸線產生壓降。根據此二掃描結果而被計算出的觸碰座標將包括(X1 ,Y1 )、(X2 ,Y2 )、(X2 ,Y1 )與(X1 ,Y2 )。其中,只有(X1 ,Y2 )與(X2 ,Y1 )為實際觸碰點的座標,而(X1 ,Y1 )與(X2 ,Y2 )則是俗稱之鬼點,並非實際觸碰點。所以在電阻式觸碰控制系統中必須有適當的方式來排除鬼點之存在,以免在判斷觸碰點座標時產生混淆而導致座標判定失敗。However, although this method does not cause a misjudgment when a single touch is applied, it is not suitable for a multi-touch operating environment. Taking two touch points as an example, when the coordinates of the actual touch point are (X 1 , Y 2 ) and (X 2 , Y 1 ), X 1 will be found when scanning the scan result obtained by scanning the X axis. The axis and the X 2 axis produce a pressure drop, and when examining the scan results obtained by scanning the Y axis, a pressure drop is produced between the Y 1 axis and the Y 2 axis. The touch coordinates calculated based on the results of the two scans will include (X 1 , Y 1 ), (X 2 , Y 2 ), (X 2 , Y 1 ) and (X 1 , Y 2 ). Among them, only (X 1 , Y 2 ) and (X 2 , Y 1 ) are the coordinates of the actual touch point, and (X 1 , Y 1 ) and (X 2 , Y 2 ) are commonly known as ghost points, not Actual touch point. Therefore, in the resistive touch control system, there must be an appropriate way to eliminate the existence of ghost points, so as to avoid confusion when determining the coordinates of the touch point, and the coordinate determination fails.

本發明的目的就是在提供一種電阻式觸碰控制系統,其可以排除鬼點而準確的判斷實際觸碰點的座標。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a resistive touch control system that can accurately determine the coordinates of an actual touch point by eliminating ghost points.

本發明提出一種電阻式觸碰控制系統,此電阻式觸碰控制系統包括第一與第二感測模組以及處理電路。第一感測模組具有多條感測線組,而處理電路則電性耦接至此二感測模組,並在第一感測模組感測到至少兩個觸碰點時,以所感測到的觸碰點的組合為第一候選名單。在得到第一候選名單之後,處理電路會關閉部分的感測線組,並以此二感測模組在此時感測到的觸碰點為第二候選名單;最後再藉由比對第一候選名單與第二候選名單來決定當次的觸碰感測結果。應注意的是,此處所提的部分感測線組包括第一感測模組中感測到其中一個觸碰點的感測線組,以及在此感測線組附近的數條感測線組。The invention provides a resistive touch control system comprising first and second sensing modules and processing circuitry. The first sensing module has a plurality of sensing line groups, and the processing circuit is electrically coupled to the two sensing modules, and is sensed when the first sensing module senses at least two touch points. The combination of touch points is the first candidate list. After obtaining the first candidate list, the processing circuit closes part of the sensing line group, and the touch point sensed by the second sensing module at this time is the second candidate list; finally, by comparing the first candidate The list and the second candidate list determine the current touch sensing results. It should be noted that some of the sensing line groups mentioned herein include a sensing line group in which one of the first sensing modules is sensed, and a plurality of sensing line groups in the vicinity of the sensing line group.

在本發明的一個實施例中,前述的處理電路在第二候選名單中的一個觸碰點與第一候選名單中的所有觸碰點都超過某一個預定距離時,就會捨棄第一候選名單與第二候選名單,並根據前一次的觸碰感測結果來產生當次的觸碰感測結果。相反地,在第二候選名單中的一個觸碰點與第一候選名單中的一個觸碰點未超過此預定距離時,處理電路就會根據第二候選名單中的觸碰點與第一候選名單中的觸碰點計算出兩個物件之位置。In an embodiment of the present invention, the foregoing processing circuit discards the first candidate list when one touch point in the second candidate list and all touch points in the first candidate list exceed a certain predetermined distance. And the second candidate list, and the current touch sensing result is generated according to the previous touch sensing result. Conversely, when a touch point in the second candidate list does not exceed the predetermined distance in the first candidate list, the processing circuit is based on the touch point and the first candidate in the second candidate list. The touch points in the list calculate the position of the two objects.

在本發明的一個實施例中,當連續多次的觸碰感測結果顯示觸碰的兩個物件均處於滑動狀態時,處理電路即判斷這兩個物件間的直線距離是否小於一個最小距離臨界值。而當直線距離小於最小距離臨界值時,處理電路即根據掃描第一感測模組與第二感測模組所得之感測線組電壓分狀況來計算最新的兩個物件的位置。其中,計算最新的兩個物件的位置可以利用感測線組電壓分佈狀況來做比例運算而得。In an embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of touch sensing results show that the two objects touched are in a sliding state, the processing circuit determines whether the linear distance between the two objects is less than a minimum distance critical value. value. When the linear distance is less than the minimum distance threshold, the processing circuit calculates the position of the latest two objects according to the sensing line group voltage division condition obtained by scanning the first sensing module and the second sensing module. Wherein, calculating the position of the latest two objects can be obtained by performing a proportional operation using the voltage distribution state of the sensing line group.

在本發明的另一個實施例中,當連續多次的觸碰感測結果顯示觸碰的兩個物件均處於滑動狀態時,處理電路即判斷這兩個物件連線的斜率變化量是否小於一個預設變化值。而當斜率變化量小於該預設變化值的時候,處理電路會進一步判斷該兩個物件間之直線距離是否為遞增或遞減。一旦這兩個物件間之直線距離為遞增,則處理電路使電阻式觸碰控制系統進行放大操作;反過來說,若兩個物件間之直線距離為遞減,則處理電路使電阻式觸碰控制系統進行縮小操作。In another embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of touch sensing results show that the two objects touched are in a sliding state, the processing circuit determines whether the slope of the connection between the two objects is less than one. Preset change value. When the slope change amount is less than the preset change value, the processing circuit further determines whether the linear distance between the two objects is increasing or decreasing. Once the linear distance between the two objects is increasing, the processing circuit causes the resistive touch control system to perform an amplification operation; conversely, if the linear distance between the two objects is decreasing, the processing circuit makes the resistive touch control The system performs a zoom out operation.

在本發明的另一個實施例中,當連續多次的觸碰感測結果顯示觸碰的兩個物件均處於滑動狀態時,處理電路即判斷這兩個物件間的直線與某一預設軸之間的夾角是否大於一個預設角度。若此夾角大於預設角度,處理電路會使電阻式觸碰控制系統進行影像旋轉操作。In another embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of touch sensing results show that both of the touched objects are in a sliding state, the processing circuit determines a straight line between the two objects and a predetermined axis. Whether the angle between them is greater than a preset angle. If the angle is greater than the preset angle, the processing circuit causes the resistive touch control system to perform an image rotation operation.

本發明另外提出一種電阻式觸碰控制系統,此電阻式觸碰控制系統包括觸碰面板、第一感測模組與處理電路。第一感測模組包括多條感測線組,且每一個感測線組對應於觸碰面板上的一塊第一感測區域。處理電路電性耦接至第一感測模組以逐一掃描這些感測線組。其中,前後接續被掃描的兩條感測線組互不相鄰,並在掃描第X感測線組而感測到被物件觸碰後,對此第X感測線組的前後數條感測線組進行逐一掃描,以藉此確認物件位於哪一個第一感測區域中。The invention further provides a resistive touch control system, the resistive touch control system comprising a touch panel, a first sensing module and a processing circuit. The first sensing module includes a plurality of sensing line groups, and each of the sensing line groups corresponds to a first sensing area on the touch panel. The processing circuit is electrically coupled to the first sensing module to scan the sensing line groups one by one. The two sensing line groups that are scanned one after another are not adjacent to each other, and after the X-th sensing line group is scanned and the object is touched, the sensing lines of the first and second sensing line groups are performed. Scan one by one to thereby confirm which of the first sensing regions the object is located in.

本發明還提出一種電阻式觸碰感測方法,其適用於具有第一感測模組及觸碰面板的電阻式觸碰控制系統中。第一感測模組包括多條感測線組,且每一感測線組對應於觸碰面板上的一塊第一感測區域。此電阻式觸碰感測方法首先逐一掃描前述感測線組,而前後接續被掃描的兩條感測線組互不相鄰。當掃描第一感測模組中的一條第X感測線組而感測到被物件觸碰後,對第X感測線組的前後數條感測線組進行逐一掃描以確認物件所處的第一感測區域。The invention also provides a resistive touch sensing method suitable for use in a resistive touch control system having a first sensing module and a touch panel. The first sensing module includes a plurality of sensing line groups, and each sensing line group corresponds to a piece of first sensing area on the touch panel. The resistive touch sensing method first scans the aforementioned sensing line groups one by one, and the two sensing line groups that are successively scanned are not adjacent to each other. After scanning one of the X sensing line groups of the first sensing module and sensing that the object is touched, the first and second sensing line groups of the X sensing line group are scanned one by one to confirm that the object is located first. Sensing area.

本發明在掃描得到多點觸碰訊息的時候關閉與其中至少一個觸碰點相關的部分掃描線組,並在此時進行第二次掃描並比對掃描結果,所以可以在極短時段內營造出單點觸控的環境,並據此得出實際觸碰點而不受到鬼點的影響。此外,本發明部分實施例中所使用的不相鄰掃描線掃描模式還可以有機率加快偵測到觸碰點,減少整體掃描所需的時間。The invention closes a part of the scan line group associated with at least one of the touch points when scanning the multi-touch information, and performs a second scan at this time and compares the scan results, so that the scan can be created in a very short period of time. A single touch environment, and based on this, the actual touch point is not affected by ghost points. In addition, the non-adjacent scan line scan mode used in some embodiments of the present invention can also speed up the detection of touch points and reduce the time required for the overall scan.

為讓本發明之上述和其他目的、特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉較佳實施例,並配合所附圖式,作詳細說明如下。The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more <RTIgt;

請參照圖1,其為根據本發明一實施例之電阻式觸碰控制系統的電路方塊圖。此電阻式觸碰控制系統10包括觸控面板100、第一感測模組110、第二感測模組120與處理電路130。Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a circuit block diagram of a resistive touch control system according to an embodiment of the invention. The resistive touch control system 10 includes a touch panel 100 , a first sensing module 110 , a second sensing module 120 , and a processing circuit 130 .

然,觸控面板100並非為電阻式觸碰控制系統10的必要元件;換句話說,電阻式觸碰控制系統10本身可僅止於包括第一感測模組110、第二感測模組120與處理電路130等產生觸碰感測信號與處理這些感測信號的電路。The touch panel 100 is not a necessary component of the resistive touch control system 10; in other words, the resistive touch control system 10 itself may only include the first sensing module 110 and the second sensing module. The 120 and processing circuit 130 and the like generate a touch sensing signal and a circuit for processing the sensing signals.

在圖1所示的實施例中,第一感測模組110與第二感測模組120包括了多條感測線組,如感測線組112、116、122與126。每一條感測線組(如感測線組112、116、122或126)包括了一個切換器(如切換器112a、116a、122a或126a)、電容線(如電容線112c、116c、122c或126c)、接地線(如接地線112g、116g、122g或126g)與輸入電位線(如輸入電位線112v、116v、122v或126v)。電容線進一步電性耦接到一個電容,接地線進一步電性耦接到接地電位,而輸入電位線則進一步電性耦接到輸入電位VDD 。處理電路130分別透過線路112x、116x、122y與126y等與第一感測模組110及第二感測模組120相電性耦接,並根據從各線路112x、116x、122y與126y所取得的電位來判斷是否有物件觸碰到相對應的感測線組112、116、122或126。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the first sensing module 110 and the second sensing module 120 include a plurality of sensing line groups, such as sensing line groups 112 , 116 , 122 , and 126 . Each sense line group (such as sense line group 112, 116, 122 or 126) includes a switch (such as switch 112a, 116a, 122a or 126a) and a capacitor line (such as capacitor line 112c, 116c, 122c or 126c). a ground line (such as ground line 112g, 116g, 122g or 126g) and an input potential line (such as input potential line 112v, 116v, 122v or 126v). The capacitor line is further electrically coupled to a capacitor, the ground line is further electrically coupled to the ground potential, and the input potential line is further electrically coupled to the input potential V DD . The processing circuit 130 is electrically coupled to the first sensing module 110 and the second sensing module 120 through the lines 112x, 116x, 122y, and 126y, and is obtained according to the lines 112x, 116x, 122y, and 126y. The potential is used to determine if an object touches the corresponding sense line set 112, 116, 122 or 126.

一般來說,在掃描是否有物件觸碰觸控面板100之前,會將第一感測模組110中的各感測線組電性耦接到輸入電位VDD ,並將第二感測模組120中的各感測線組電性耦接到接地電位。在掃描第一感測模組110的時候,各感測線組(112、116)會逐一電性耦接到對應的電容線(112c、116c),第二感測模組120中的各感測線組則維持電性耦接到接地電位的狀態。此時處理電路130可以藉由線路112x偵測對應的感測線組112的電位變化,並根據所偵測到的電位變化來判斷物件是否觸碰到觸控面板100上對應於感測線組112的感測區域112b。類似的,處理電路130也可以藉由線路116x偵測對應的感測線組116的電位變化,並根據所偵測到的電位變化來判斷物件是否觸碰到觸控面板100上對應於感測線組116的感測區域116b。Generally, before scanning whether the object touches the touch panel 100, each sensing line group in the first sensing module 110 is electrically coupled to the input potential V DD , and the second sensing module is Each of the sensing line groups in 120 is electrically coupled to a ground potential. When the first sensing module 110 is scanned, the sensing line groups (112, 116) are electrically coupled to the corresponding capacitance lines (112c, 116c) one by one, and the sensing lines in the second sensing module 120. The group maintains a state of being electrically coupled to the ground potential. At this time, the processing circuit 130 can detect the potential change of the corresponding sensing line group 112 by the line 112x, and determine whether the object touches the touch panel 100 corresponding to the sensing line group 112 according to the detected potential change. Sensing area 112b. Similarly, the processing circuit 130 can detect the potential change of the corresponding sensing line group 116 by the line 116x, and determine whether the object touches the sensing line group on the touch panel 100 according to the detected potential change. Sensing area 116b of 116.

同樣的,在掃描第二感測模組120的時候,操作方式也如上述操作方式一樣,相關內容在此不再重述。Similarly, when the second sensing module 120 is scanned, the operation mode is the same as the above operation mode, and the related content is not repeated here.

接下來請參照圖2A與圖2B,其為根據本發明一實施例的感測線組設置示意圖。如圖2A所示,感測線組200~224沿著水平方向排列,並以垂直方向延伸至觸控面板270內;類似的,如圖2B所示,感測線組230~254沿著垂直方向排列,並以水平方向延伸至觸控面板270內。這些感測線組如圖1一樣各自對應於觸控面板270上的一塊感測區域(未繪示)。當掃描沿著某一方向排列的感測線組時,必須逐一地感測這些感測線組上的電位。然而,掃描感測線組的順序可以有所變化。舉例來說,當要掃描沿著水平方向排列的感測線組200~224的時候,一般會是以循序的方式來進行掃描,也就是先掃描感測線組200,再接著掃描感測線組202、感測線組204...感測線組210、感測線組212、感測線組214...感測線組220、感測線組222直到感測線組224。或者可以使用跳點掃描方式,例如先掃描感測線組202,接著掃描感測線組212,然後掃描感測線組222;一旦在其中一條感測線組發現有物件觸碰的可能(如感測線組212的電壓有所變化),則進一步掃描此感測線組附近的感測線組(如感測線組210與214等),以根據所偵測到的電壓峰值來確認物件所在的感測區域。類似的,當要掃描沿著垂直方向排列的感測線組230~254的時候,也可以使用上述的任一種方法來進行。2A and 2B, which are schematic diagrams of sensing line group settings according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 2A, the sensing line groups 200-224 are arranged in a horizontal direction and extend in a vertical direction into the touch panel 270; similarly, as shown in FIG. 2B, the sensing line groups 230-254 are arranged in a vertical direction. And extending into the touch panel 270 in a horizontal direction. Each of the sensing line groups corresponds to a sensing area (not shown) on the touch panel 270 as shown in FIG. 1 . When scanning a set of sense lines arranged in a certain direction, the potentials on these sense line sets must be sensed one by one. However, the order in which the sense line sets are scanned may vary. For example, when the sensing line groups 200 to 224 arranged in the horizontal direction are to be scanned, the scanning is generally performed in a sequential manner, that is, the sensing line group 200 is scanned first, and then the sensing line group 202 is scanned. The sense line set 204...the sense line set 210, the sense line set 212, the sense line set 214...the sense line set 220, the sense line set 222 to the sense line set 224. Alternatively, a jump scanning method may be used, such as scanning the sensing line group 202 first, then scanning the sensing line group 212, and then scanning the sensing line group 222; once the object sensing group is found to be in contact with one of the sensing line groups (eg, the sensing line group 212) The voltage of the change is further changed), and the sensing line group near the sensing line group (such as the sensing line groups 210 and 214, etc.) is further scanned to confirm the sensing area where the object is located according to the detected voltage peak. Similarly, when the sensing line groups 230 to 254 arranged in the vertical direction are to be scanned, any of the above methods can also be used.

請合併參照圖3,其為根據本發明一實施例的電阻式觸碰感測方法的流程圖。在此實施例中,首先以前述的任一種方法逐一地掃描感測線組200~224或230~254(步驟S300),並在掃描完畢之後判斷是否感測到至少有兩個觸碰點存在(步驟S302)。假若只有一個觸碰點存在,那麼就按照一般的操作方法進行單點觸碰的控制(步驟S320);但如果感測到至少兩個觸碰點,處理電路260就把偵測到有觸碰點的感測線組的位置加以組合,進而產生具有多個觸碰點的位置座標的第一候選名單(步驟S304)。Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flowchart of a resistive touch sensing method according to an embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, first, the sensing line groups 200 to 224 or 230 to 254 are scanned one by one by any of the foregoing methods (step S300), and it is determined whether at least two touch points are present after the scanning is completed ( Step S302). If only one touch point exists, the single touch control is performed according to a general operation method (step S320); but if at least two touch points are sensed, the processing circuit 260 detects that there is a touch. The positions of the sense line groups of points are combined to generate a first candidate list of position coordinates having a plurality of touch points (step S304).

在產生第一候選名單之後,處理電路260會將某一方向的感測模組內的一部分感測線組的感測功能關閉,並以此狀態進行再次的掃描(步驟S306)。具體來說,假若藉由圖2A所示的感測線組200~224感測到在感測線組202與感測線組222上各有一個物件觸碰點產生,那麼處理電路260可以選擇將其中一條感測線組關閉,也可以選擇將與其中一個物件觸碰點相關的多條感測線組關閉,甚或選擇將大部分的感測線組關閉,然後進行再次的掃描。換句話說,在上述的狀況中,處理電路260可以選擇僅關閉感測線組202(也就是電壓峰值所在處),或者是感測線組202附近有產生電壓變化的多條感測線組,又或者是將右半邊的感測線組200~212關閉,甚至只保留感測線組222的感測功能而關閉其他所有感測線組的感測功能。經由上述的關閉感測線組的操作之後所再次進行的掃描將可排除第一候選名單中的部分觸碰點,而經由此次掃描所得的觸碰點則被列入在第二候選名單中以便後續處理時使用(步驟S308)。After the first candidate list is generated, the processing circuit 260 turns off the sensing function of a part of the sensing line group in the sensing module in a certain direction, and performs scanning again in this state (step S306). Specifically, if it is sensed by the sensing line groups 200-224 shown in FIG. 2A that an object touch point is generated on each of the sensing line group 202 and the sensing line group 222, the processing circuit 260 can select one of them. The sensing line group is turned off, and it is also possible to select a plurality of sensing line groups associated with one of the object touch points to be turned off, or even to select most of the sensing line groups to be turned off, and then to perform a second scanning. In other words, in the above situation, the processing circuit 260 may select to turn off only the sensing line group 202 (that is, where the voltage peak is located), or a plurality of sensing line groups near the sensing line group 202 that generate voltage changes, or The sensing line groups 200-212 of the right half are turned off, and even the sensing function of the sensing line group 222 is retained, and the sensing functions of all other sensing line groups are turned off. The scanning performed again after the operation of turning off the sensing line group described above may exclude a part of the touch points in the first candidate list, and the touch points obtained through the scanning are included in the second candidate list. It is used in subsequent processing (step S308).

為了達到關閉某些感測線組的感測功能的目的,本實施例借用圖1所示的架構來進行處理。請一併參照圖1,當要關閉感測線組112的感測功能的時候,可以將切換器112a切換到與切換器122a及126a所接的電位相同的電位上。例如,一般在進行正常感測的時候會把切換器112a與116a分別接到輸入電位線112v與116v,並把切換器122a與126a分別接到接地線122g與126g;所以在要關閉感測線組112的感測功能的時候,就可以把切換器112a接到接地線112g,如此就可以達到關閉感測線組112感測功能的目的。In order to achieve the purpose of turning off the sensing function of certain sensing line groups, the present embodiment uses the architecture shown in FIG. 1 for processing. Referring to FIG. 1 together, when the sensing function of the sensing line group 112 is to be turned off, the switch 112a can be switched to the same potential as the potentials connected to the switches 122a and 126a. For example, generally, when performing normal sensing, the switches 112a and 116a are respectively connected to the input potential lines 112v and 116v, and the switches 122a and 126a are respectively connected to the ground lines 122g and 126g; therefore, the sensing line group is to be turned off. When the sensing function of 112 is enabled, the switch 112a can be connected to the ground line 112g, so that the sensing function of the sensing line group 112 can be turned off.

請繼續參照圖2A~2B與圖3,在經由步驟S308產生第二候選名單之後,處理電路260就會藉由比對第一候選名單與第二候選名單的內容來確認此二候選名單是否相符(步驟S310)。若兩者相符,則根據第一與第二候選名單來計算觸碰點座標(步驟S312);反之,若兩者不相符,則有幾種做法:一種做法就是直接捨棄第一與第二候選名單而以前一次輸出的觸碰感測結果來產生這一次的觸碰感測結果(步驟S314);另一種做法則是進行第三次掃描,並將第三次掃描所得的感測結果分別與第一及第二候選名單中的觸碰點座標進行計算,再根據計算結果比對何組畫面的座標移動量之和最小,並將座標移動量之和最小的兩個畫面定義為連續的畫面。亦即,將所決定的兩個畫面定義為合理的移動結果。2A to 2B and FIG. 3, after generating the second candidate list via step S308, the processing circuit 260 confirms whether the two candidate lists match by comparing the contents of the first candidate list and the second candidate list ( Step S310). If the two match, the touch point coordinates are calculated according to the first and second candidate lists (step S312); otherwise, if the two do not match, there are several ways: one way is to directly discard the first and second candidates The touch sensing result of the previous output is generated by the list to generate the touch sensing result (step S314); the other method is to perform the third scanning, and the sensing result obtained by the third scanning is respectively The coordinates of the touch points in the first and second candidate lists are calculated, and the sum of the coordinate movements of the group of pictures is minimized according to the calculation result, and the two pictures with the smallest sum of coordinate movements are defined as continuous pictures. . That is, the two determined pictures are defined as reasonable moving results.

在更進一步的實施例中,當在步驟S312內根據第一與第二候選名單計算得到觸碰點座標之後,還將此觸碰點座標(或稱當次的觸碰感測結果)與前一次的觸碰感測結果相比較,確認在兩次觸碰感測結果中相對應的觸碰點之間的距離是否大於某一個預定距離(步驟S315)。假若兩者間的距離不大於此預定距離,則將在步驟S312計算而得的觸碰點座標輸出為當次的觸碰感測結果(步驟S316);反之,假若兩者間的距離大於此預定距離,則以前一次的觸碰感測結果做為當次的觸碰感測結果(步驟S317)。In a still further embodiment, after the touch point coordinates are calculated according to the first and second candidate lists in step S312, the touch point coordinates (or the current touch sensing result) are also The one-time touch sensing result is compared, and it is confirmed whether the distance between the corresponding touch points in the two touch sensing results is greater than a certain predetermined distance (step S315). If the distance between the two is not greater than the predetermined distance, the touch point coordinates calculated in step S312 are output as the current touch sensing result (step S316); otherwise, if the distance between the two is greater than this The predetermined distance is used as the current touch sensing result (step S317).

應注意的是,此處的候選名單相符並非表示兩個候選名單中一定要有座標完全相同的觸碰點存在,而是要判斷在第一候選名單的觸碰點附近的預設距離內是否有觸碰點被列入在第二候選名單中。舉例來說,一般物件的滑動有其規律性,所以在物件移動的狀況下只要調整好兩次掃描間的間隔時間,就可以使大部分的物件在兩次掃描間的移動距離小於前述的預設距離。但,假設物件在第一次掃描與第二次掃描之間處於正提起、再次落下或是已經移動到感測線被關閉的部分去,那麼就會因為第一與第二候選名單之間的變化過大而無法判定正確的觸碰點座標。It should be noted that the matching of the candidate list here does not mean that there must be the same touch point in the two candidate lists, but whether it is within the preset distance near the touch point of the first candidate list. Touch points are included in the second candidate list. For example, the sliding of a general object has its regularity. Therefore, as long as the interval between scans is adjusted under the condition of moving the object, the moving distance of most objects between the two scans is smaller than the aforementioned pre-preparation. Set the distance. However, assuming that the object is being lifted, dropped again, or moved to the portion where the sense line is closed between the first scan and the second scan, then there will be a change between the first and second candidate lists. Too large to determine the correct touch point coordinates.

在另一個實施例中,在前後畫面座標之距離過大時即定義在後畫面中的觸碰點的座標權重比在前畫面中的觸碰點的座標權重為小;而在前後畫面座標之距離很小時則定義在後畫面中的觸碰點的座標權重比在前畫面中的觸碰點的座標權重為大。又或者,可針對約略成45度之軌跡曲線或沿著螢幕對角線方向移動之軌跡來改變其權重方式,亦即給予前幾次所紀錄歷史座標位置較高之權重,而給予目前座標位置較低之權重,藉此維持較為緩和之曲線並抑制波浪狀軌跡之產生。In another embodiment, when the distance between the front and rear picture coordinates is too large, the coordinate weight of the touch point defined in the rear picture is smaller than the coordinate weight of the touch point in the front picture; and the distance between the front and rear picture coordinates Very small, the coordinate weight of the touch point defined in the rear picture is larger than the coordinate weight of the touch point in the previous picture. Alternatively, the weighting manner may be changed for a trajectory curve that is approximately 45 degrees or moved along a diagonal direction of the screen, that is, a weight given to the recorded history coordinates of the previous several times is given, and the current coordinate position is given. Lower weights, thereby maintaining a more gradual curve and suppressing the generation of wavy trajectories.

請同時參照圖2A、2B與圖4。其中,圖4為根據本發明一實施例在判斷第一與第二候選名單是否相符時的施行步驟流程圖。在本實施例中,從步驟S308產生第二候選名單之後,就先從第一與第二候選名單中各選出一個觸碰點(步驟S400與S402)。接下來,前述圖2A與2B中的處理電路260會計算從第一與第二候選名單中所選出的兩個觸碰點之間的距離,並判斷這兩個觸碰點之間是否超過已經設定好的預設距離(步驟S404)。Please refer to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 4 at the same time. 4 is a flow chart showing the execution steps when determining whether the first and second candidate lists match according to an embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, after the second candidate list is generated from step S308, one touch point is selected from each of the first and second candidate lists (steps S400 and S402). Next, the processing circuit 260 in the foregoing FIGS. 2A and 2B calculates the distance between the two touch points selected from the first and second candidate lists, and determines whether the two touch points have exceeded The preset distance is set (step S404).

假若步驟S404所做的判斷結果為是,則流程進行到步驟S406。在步驟S406中,處理電路260判斷是否已經選擇了第一候選名單中的所有觸碰點與從第二候選名單中目前選出的觸碰點做了距離運算。假若步驟S406所做的判斷結果為否,那麼就從第一候選名單中選出另一個觸碰點(步驟S408),並使這另外選出的觸碰點與第二候選名單中目前選出的觸碰點進行距離運算(步驟S404)。相反的,假若步驟S406所做的判斷結果為是,則表示在第二候選名單中有某一個(任何一個)觸碰點與第一候選名單中的所有觸碰點皆超過前述的預定距離,故流程進入步驟S314以捨棄第一與第二候選名單,並根據前一次的觸碰感測結果來產生當次的觸碰感測結果。應注意的是,此處由步驟S406進入到步驟S314僅為配合圖3所示的實施例,此技術領域者當可知道,步驟S314也可以是其他做法,例如前述與步驟S314並列的另一種觸碰結果產生的做法或其他的觸碰結果產生的做法。If the result of the determination made in step S404 is YES, the flow proceeds to step S406. In step S406, the processing circuit 260 determines whether all touch points in the first candidate list have been selected and distance calculations have been performed from the currently selected touch points in the second candidate list. If the result of the determination in step S406 is no, then another touch point is selected from the first candidate list (step S408), and the additionally selected touch point and the currently selected touch in the second candidate list are selected. The point is subjected to a distance calculation (step S404). On the contrary, if the result of the determination in step S406 is YES, it means that there is one (any one) touch point in the second candidate list and all the touch points in the first candidate list exceed the aforementioned predetermined distance. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S314 to discard the first and second candidate lists, and the current touch sensing result is generated according to the previous touch sensing result. It should be noted that the step S406 proceeds to step S314 here only to cooperate with the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, and those skilled in the art may know that step S314 may also be another method, such as the foregoing another method juxtaposed with step S314. The practice of touching the resulting results or other touch results.

假若步驟S404的判斷結果為否,則流程進行到步驟S410。在步驟S410中,處理電路260判斷是否已經選擇了第二候選名單中的所有觸碰點與從第一候選名單中的觸碰點做了距離運算。假若步驟S410所做的判斷結果為否,那麼就從第二候選名單中選出另一個觸碰點(步驟S412),並使這另外選出的觸碰點與第一候選名單中的觸碰點重新進行距離運算(步驟S404)。相反的,假若步驟S410所做的判斷結果為是,則表示第二候選名單中的每一個觸碰點與第一候選名單中之任一個觸碰點之間都沒有超過前述的預定距離,因此流程進入步驟S312以根據第一與第二候選名單中該觸碰點來計算出兩個物件的位置。If the result of the determination in step S404 is NO, the flow proceeds to step S410. In step S410, the processing circuit 260 determines whether all of the touch points in the second candidate list have been selected and the distance from the touch points in the first candidate list. If the result of the determination in step S410 is no, then another touch point is selected from the second candidate list (step S412), and the additionally selected touch point is re-established with the touch point in the first candidate list. The distance calculation is performed (step S404). On the contrary, if the result of the determination in step S410 is YES, it means that there is no more than the predetermined distance between each touch point in the second candidate list and any one of the touch points in the first candidate list. The flow proceeds to step S312 to calculate the positions of the two objects based on the touch points in the first and second candidate lists.

值得注意的是,在圖4所示的步驟S400~S412中,若將第一與第二候選名單相互對調,也可以使此電阻式觸碰控制系統正常運作。It should be noted that, in steps S400 to S412 shown in FIG. 4, if the first and second candidate lists are mutually adjusted, the resistive touch control system can be operated normally.

除了上述的感測方法之外,本發明所提供的電阻式觸碰控制系統還具備了其他的定位及操作方法。請參照圖5,其為根據本發明一實施例的其他定位及操作方法的流程圖。如圖5所示,當經過連續多次的觸碰感測之後,依照前述或其他方式所產生的的觸碰感測結果顯示了觸碰電阻式觸碰控制系統的兩個物件都處於滑動狀態的時候(步驟S500),電阻式觸碰控制系統(或前述包含於電阻式觸碰控制系統中的處理電路)會進一步選擇進行分別由步驟S502、S512與S522及後續步驟所定義的各種定位或操作方法。In addition to the above sensing methods, the resistive touch control system provided by the present invention has other positioning and operation methods. Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a flow chart of another method for positioning and operating according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 5, after successive touch sensing, the touch sensing result generated according to the foregoing or other manners shows that both objects of the touch resistive touch control system are in a sliding state. At the time (step S500), the resistive touch control system (or the aforementioned processing circuit included in the resistive touch control system) further selects various positions defined by steps S502, S512 and S522 and subsequent steps, respectively. Method of operation.

在兩個物件都處於滑動狀態的時候,電阻式觸碰控制系統可以進一步判斷兩個物件之間的直線距離是否小於所設定的一個最小距離臨界值(步驟S502)。假若兩個物件之間的直線距離不小於所設定的最小距離臨界值,表示兩個物件間的間隔足夠使兩個觸碰點被清楚分辨出來,因此可以採用一般的定位方式來定位觸碰點的座標(步驟S506)。假若兩個物件之間的直線距離小於所設定的最小距離臨界值,則表示兩個物件靠得太近,可能使兩個觸控點無法被清楚的分辨出來,所以此時將根據連續幾次掃描時所得到的感測線組電壓分佈狀況來計算物件的位置(步驟S504)。When both objects are in a sliding state, the resistive touch control system can further determine whether the linear distance between the two objects is less than a set minimum distance threshold (step S502). If the linear distance between the two objects is not less than the set minimum distance threshold, it means that the interval between the two objects is enough to make the two touch points clearly distinguishable, so the general positioning method can be used to locate the touch point. The coordinates (step S506). If the linear distance between the two objects is less than the set minimum distance threshold, it means that the two objects are too close together, which may make the two touch points not clearly distinguishable, so this time will be based on several consecutive times. The position of the sensing line group voltage obtained at the time of scanning is used to calculate the position of the object (step S504).

具體來說,在兩個物件因滑行而彼此接近的時候,從所偵測到的感測線組電壓將可見到兩個峰值電壓的位置也會逐漸彼此接近而終至於混合為一個峰值電壓(也就是兩個物件的距離位置過近而導致無法分辨)。在此時,可以運用對感測線組電壓分佈狀況做比例運算以計算最新的物件位置。所謂的比例運算就是利用二個峰值電壓在結合前之資訊,根據二個峰值電壓在結合前最後一筆資料中各自的電壓峰值與面積的關係來計算二者之比例,再根據此一比例將合二為一的峰值電壓重新拆開。例如結合前左邊峰值電壓之面積與右邊峰值電壓面積為10:1,則將結合後之峰值電壓左邊10/11的部份設定為新的左邊峰值電壓,而右邊1/11的部份設定為新的右邊峰值電壓。而觸碰點的中心也可以根據上述所計算出來的比例來進行判斷,例如在以上所述的實施例中,就可以將結合後之峰值電壓左邊10/11的部份重新計算重心或中心而取得新的左邊峰值電壓位置,而結合後之峰值電壓右邊1/11的部份重新計算重心或中心而取得新的右邊峰值電壓位置,最後再以新的左邊峰值電壓位置與新的右邊峰值電壓位置為兩個觸碰點的座標。Specifically, when the two objects approach each other due to sliding, the detected line voltages will be visible, and the positions of the two peak voltages will gradually approach each other and eventually become a peak voltage (also That is, the distance between the two objects is too close to make it impossible to distinguish). At this time, a proportional operation on the voltage distribution of the sense line group can be used to calculate the latest object position. The so-called proportional operation is to use the information of the two peak voltages before the combination, according to the relationship between the peak voltage and the area of the two peak voltages in the last data before the combination, and then according to the ratio The peak voltage of two is re-opened. For example, if the area of the peak voltage on the left side and the peak voltage area on the right side are 10:1, the left side 10/11 of the combined peak voltage is set as the new left peak voltage, and the 1/11 part of the right side is set to New right peak voltage. The center of the touch point can also be judged according to the calculated ratio. For example, in the above embodiment, the 10/11 left portion of the combined peak voltage can be recalculated to the center of gravity or the center. Obtain a new left peak voltage position, and the combined 1/11 portion of the peak voltage recalculates the center of gravity or center to obtain a new right peak voltage position, and finally with the new left peak voltage position and the new right peak voltage. The position is the coordinates of the two touch points.

請繼續參考圖5,在兩個物件都處於滑動狀態的時候,電阻式觸碰控制系統可以進一步判斷兩個物件連線的直線斜率的變化量是否小於所設定的一個預設變化值(步驟S512)。若直線斜率的變化量不小於預設變化值,則電阻式觸碰控制系統進行一般的功能操作(步驟S530);但如果直線斜率的變化量小於預設變化值,則電阻式觸碰控制系統還會判斷兩個物件間的直線距離是遞增或遞減(步驟S514)。假若判斷結果顯示出兩個物件間的直線距離為遞增,那麼電阻式觸碰控制系統就會執行放大操作的功能(步驟S516);相反的,假若判斷結果顯示出兩個物件間的直線距離為遞減,那麼電阻式觸碰控制系統就會執行縮小操作的功能(步驟S518)。Referring to FIG. 5, when the two objects are in the sliding state, the resistive touch control system can further determine whether the amount of change in the linear slope of the connection of the two objects is less than the set preset change value (step S512). ). If the change amount of the linear slope is not less than the preset change value, the resistive touch control system performs a general functional operation (step S530); but if the change amount of the linear slope is less than the preset change value, the resistive touch control system It is also judged that the linear distance between the two objects is incremented or decremented (step S514). If the result of the judgment shows that the linear distance between the two objects is increasing, the resistive touch control system performs the function of the zooming operation (step S516); conversely, if the judgment result shows that the straight line distance between the two objects is Decrement, then the resistive touch control system performs the function of the zoom-out operation (step S518).

圖5還表示出在兩個物件都處於滑動狀態的時候,電阻式觸碰控制系統可以進一步判斷兩個物件連線的直線與某一個預設軸之間的夾角是否大於所設定的預設角度(步驟S522)。假若判斷結果顯示出前述的夾角不大於所設定的預設角度,那麼電阻式觸碰控制系統進行一般的功能操作(步驟S530);但如果判斷結果顯示出前述的夾角大於所設定的預設角度,那麼電阻式觸碰控制系統就會執行影像旋轉操作的功能(步驟S524)。Figure 5 also shows that when both objects are in a sliding state, the resistive touch control system can further determine whether the angle between the line connecting the two objects and a certain preset axis is greater than the set preset angle. (Step S522). If the judgment result shows that the aforementioned angle is not greater than the set preset angle, the resistive touch control system performs a general functional operation (step S530); but if the judgment result indicates that the aforementioned angle is greater than the set preset angle Then, the resistive touch control system performs a function of the image rotation operation (step S524).

需注意的是,步驟S522中所提及的預設軸可以是如圖2A與圖2B中所示的水平軸H或垂直軸V,也可以是任何預先設定好的軸向。再者,在另一個實施例中,當掃描感測線組以取得感測電壓值時,若當感測到某一峰值電壓小於最大峰值電壓的某個倍率時,則將此較小的電壓定義為干擾訊號,並忽略此較小的電壓變化。此外,當目前畫面之觸碰點數目小於前張畫面之觸碰點數目時,可以先保留前張畫面資料,並於後續多張畫面之觸碰點數目均小於前張畫面之觸碰點數目時,才捨棄前張畫面資料且輸出最新畫面資料。It should be noted that the preset axis mentioned in step S522 may be the horizontal axis H or the vertical axis V as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, or may be any predetermined axial direction. Furthermore, in another embodiment, when the sensing line group is scanned to obtain the sensing voltage value, if a certain peak voltage is sensed to be less than a certain magnification of the maximum peak voltage, then the smaller voltage is defined. To interfere with the signal and ignore this small voltage change. In addition, when the number of touch points of the current picture is smaller than the number of touch points of the previous picture, the previous picture data may be reserved first, and the number of touch points of the subsequent multiple pictures is smaller than the number of touch points of the previous picture. Only the previous picture data is discarded and the latest picture data is output.

綜上所述,在本發明所提供的電阻式觸碰控制系統與方法中,利用了確認前後掃描結果是否具有一致性而能更準確的判斷觸碰點的座標,減少座標判定失敗的機率。In summary, in the resistive touch control system and method provided by the present invention, it is possible to more accurately determine the coordinates of the touch point by confirming whether the scan results are consistent before and after, and reduce the probability of the coordinate determination failure.

雖然本發明已以較佳實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。While the present invention has been described in its preferred embodiments, the present invention is not intended to limit the invention, and the present invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
