觸控裝置及其觸控感測方法Touch device and touch sensing method thereof

本發明是有關於一種觸控裝置及其觸控感測方法,且特別是有關於一種可消除低頻雜訊的觸控裝置及其觸控感測方法。The present invention relates to a touch device and a touch sensing method thereof, and more particularly to a touch device capable of eliminating low frequency noise and a touch sensing method thereof.

為使可攜式的資訊產品具有更人性化的使用介面,整合觸控式面板(Touch panel)或觸控墊(Touch pad)已經蔚為潮流。相關的面板大廠、IC設計公司都已經將觸控式面板的技術列為主要的研發項目,相關的技術與產品也已經應用於日常生活的電子產品中,例如行動電話、電腦及個人行動助理等資訊產品。In order to make the portable information product have a more user-friendly interface, integrating a touch panel or a touch pad has become a trend. Relevant panel manufacturers and IC design companies have already listed the technology of touch panel as the main R&D project. Relevant technologies and products have also been applied to electronic products in daily life, such as mobile phones, computers and personal mobile assistants. And other information products.

目前最常使用的觸控裝置主要分為電阻式(resistive)與電容式(capacitive),其中電容式觸控裝置主要工作原理是感應一種稱為電容的電性特性。當兩層電性傳導物體不觸碰而互相靠近時,它們的電場就會互相作用形成電容。觸控板結構中的上下層表面分別是由交錯方向的電極線路所形成之導電層。手指也是一個電性導體,當手指放置在觸控板上,在觸控板的電極線路和手指之間就會形成一個極小的電容。藉由電容值改變由微處理器來偵測使用者所觸碰之位置。At present, the most commonly used touch devices are mainly divided into resistive and capacitive. The main working principle of the capacitive touch device is to induce an electrical characteristic called a capacitor. When two layers of electrically conductive objects approach each other without touching, their electric fields interact to form a capacitance. The upper and lower surface of the touch panel structure are respectively conductive layers formed by electrode lines in a staggered direction. The finger is also an electrical conductor. When the finger is placed on the touchpad, a very small capacitance is formed between the electrode line of the touchpad and the finger. The position of the touched by the user is detected by the microprocessor by the change of the capacitance value.

由於電容式觸控裝置容易受到環境變化的影響,例如手指或其它物件觸碰時所產生的低頻雜訊,進而使電子裝置產生誤判並造成電源的浪費。Since the capacitive touch device is susceptible to environmental changes, such as low-frequency noise generated when a finger or other object touches, the electronic device is misjudged and wastes power.

為讓本發明之上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description.

圖1繪示為本發明一實施例之觸控裝置的示意圖。請參照圖1,觸控裝置100包括n條掃描線P1~Pn、m條感測線S1~Sm、多個觸控單元T(x,y)、一驅動模組101、一感測模組102以及一控制單元104,其中掃描線P1~Pn與感測線S1~Sm設置於一觸控面板106上,觸控單元T(x,y)代表位於第x條掃描線與第y條感測線交叉處的觸控單元,n、m、x、y為正整數,且1≦x≦n、1≦y≦m。另外,感測模組102耦接感測線S1~Sm以及控制單元104。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a touch device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , the touch device 100 includes n scan lines P1 P Pn, m sense lines S1 S Sm, multiple touch units T (x, y), a driving module 101, and a sensing module 102. And a control unit 104, wherein the scan lines P1~Pn and the sensing lines S1~Sm are disposed on a touch panel 106, and the touch unit T(x, y) represents the intersection of the xth scan line and the yth sense line At the touch unit, n, m, x, and y are positive integers, and 1≦x≦n, 1≦y≦m. In addition, the sensing module 102 is coupled to the sensing lines S1 S Sm and the control unit 104 .

感測線S1上的觸控單元T(x,1)可分別接收驅動訊號D1~Dn而在不同的線掃描期間被驅動。舉例來說,圖2繪示為本發明一實施例之各掃描線P1~Pn的驅動訊號的波形示意圖。請參照圖2,其中各個驅動訊號D1~Dn的低準位期間即為對應的各條掃描線P1~Pn的線掃描期間,例如驅動訊號D1的低準位期間即為掃描線P1的線掃描期間LS1,驅動訊號D2的低準位期間即為掃描線P2的線掃描期間LS2,其餘依此類推。在掃描線P1上的所有觸控單元T(1,1)~T(1,m)於線掃描期間LS1(亦即驅動訊號D1為低電壓準位的期間)被驅動(或開啟,turn on),而在掃描線P2上的所有觸控單元T(2,1)~T(2,m)則於線掃描期間LS2(亦即驅動訊號D2為低電壓準位的期間)被驅動(或開啟,turn on)。類似地,其它掃描線P3~Pn上的觸控單元T(3,1)~T(n,1)亦分別受控於驅動訊號D3~Dn而被驅動。感測模組102偵測感測線S1~Sm,以在各條掃描線P1~Pn的線掃描期間LS1~LSn分別輸出多個原始訊號ST(x,1)~ST(x,m)。The touch unit T(x, 1) on the sensing line S1 can receive the driving signals D1 D Dn and be driven during different line scans, respectively. For example, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing waveforms of driving signals of scanning lines P1 to Pn according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the low-level period of each of the driving signals D1~Dn is the line scanning period of the corresponding scanning lines P1~Pn. For example, the low-level period of the driving signal D1 is the line scanning of the scanning line P1. During the period LS1, the low-level period of the driving signal D2 is the line scanning period LS2 of the scanning line P2, and so on. All touch units T(1,1)~T(1,m) on the scan line P1 are driven during the line scan period LS1 (that is, the period during which the drive signal D1 is at a low voltage level) (or turned on, turn on And all the touch units T(2,1)~T(2,m) on the scan line P2 are driven during the line scan period LS2 (that is, the period during which the drive signal D2 is at the low voltage level) (or Open, turn on). Similarly, the touch units T(3, 1)~T(n, 1) on the other scan lines P3~Pn are also driven by the drive signals D3~Dn, respectively. The sensing module 102 detects the sensing lines S1 to Sm to output a plurality of original signals ST(x, 1) to ST(x, m) in the line scanning periods LS1 to LSn of the respective scanning lines P1 to Pn.

為簡化說明,現將以感測線S1為例說明本實施例的實施細節。其他感測線S2~Sm可以參照感測線S1的相關說明。感測模組102在各條掃描線P1~Pn的線掃描期間透過感測線S1分別感測掃描線P1~Pn上的觸控單元T(1,1)、T(2,1)、...、T(n-2,1)、T(n-1,1)、T(n,1),以輸出多個原始訊號ST(x,1)。例如,感測模組102在掃描線P1的線掃描期間LS1透過感測線S1偵測觸控單元T(1,1)而輸出一第一原始訊號ST(1,1),而在掃描線P2的線掃描期間LS2透過感測線S1偵測觸控單元T(2,1)而輸出一第二原始訊號ST(2,1)。類似地,在其它掃描線P3~Pn的線掃描期間LS3~LSn感測模組102亦分別偵測感測線S1上對應的觸控單元T(3,1)~T(n,1)而輸出對應的原始訊號ST(3,1)~ST(n,1)。To simplify the description, the implementation details of this embodiment will now be described taking the sensing line S1 as an example. The other sensing lines S2 to Sm can refer to the relevant description of the sensing line S1. The sensing module 102 senses the touch units T(1, 1), T(2, 1), . . . on the scan lines P1 P Pn through the sensing line S1 during the line scan period of each of the scan lines P1 P Pn, respectively. ., T(n-2, 1), T(n-1, 1), T(n, 1), to output a plurality of original signals ST(x, 1). For example, the sensing module 102 detects the touch unit T(1, 1) through the sensing line S1 during the line scan period LS1 of the scan line P1 to output a first original signal ST(1, 1), and on the scan line P2. During the line scan, the LS2 detects the touch unit T (2, 1) through the sensing line S1 and outputs a second original signal ST (2, 1). Similarly, during the line scan of the other scan lines P3 to Pn, the LS3~LSn sensing module 102 also detects the corresponding touch units T(3,1)~T(n,1) on the sensing line S1 and outputs the same. Corresponding original signals ST(3,1)~ST(n,1).

控制單元104在接收到感測模組102的原始訊號ST(1,1)~ST(n,1)後,便依據此些原始訊號求出一參考訊號。例如,於此些原始訊號ST(1,1)~ST(n,1)中選擇一個原始訊號做為參考訊號,在此可選擇將上述的第二原始訊號ST(2,1)做為參考訊號。在擇定參考訊號後,控制單元104另外更將第一原始訊號ST(1,1)減去參考訊號(亦即第二原始訊號ST(2,1)),以去除第一原始訊號ST(1,1)中所包含的低頻雜訊而獲得觸控單元T(1,1)的感測訊號。類似地其它觸控單元T(2,1)~T(n,1)的感測訊號亦可以利用相同的方式獲得,在此不再贅述。After receiving the original signals ST(1,1)~ST(n,1) of the sensing module 102, the control unit 104 obtains a reference signal according to the original signals. For example, an original signal is selected as the reference signal in the original signals ST(1,1)~ST(n,1), and the second original signal ST(2,1) can be selected as a reference here. Signal. After selecting the reference signal, the control unit 104 further subtracts the reference signal (that is, the second original signal ST(2, 1)) from the first original signal ST(1, 1) to remove the first original signal ST ( The low frequency noise included in 1,1) obtains the sensing signal of the touch unit T(1,1). Similarly, the sensing signals of the other touch units T (2, 1) to T (n, 1) can also be obtained in the same manner, and are not described herein again.

於本實施例中,控制單元104可以利用在時間上相鄰接的兩個原始訊號彼此相減,以進行雜訊消除(noise cancellation)。例如,線掃描期間LS1與LS2在時間上相鄰接,因此線掃描期間LS2的原始訊號ST(2,1)可以作為線掃描期間LS1的原始訊號ST(1,1)的參考訊號。控制單元104可以將線掃描期間LS1的第一原始訊號ST(1,1)減去參考訊號(亦即ST(1,1)-ST(2,1)),以獲得觸控單元T(1,1)的感測訊號。以此類推,例如觸控單元T(2,1)的感測訊號為ST(2,1)-ST(3,1),而觸控單元T(n-2,1)的感測訊號為ST(n-2,1)-ST(n-1,1)。於其他實施例中,第一原始訊號ST(1,1)可以作為第二原始訊號ST(2,1)的參考訊號。控制單元104可以將第二原始訊號ST(2,1)減去參考訊號(亦即ST(2,1)-ST(1,1)),以獲得觸控單元T(2,1)的感測訊號。以此類推,例如觸控單元T(n-1,1)的感測訊號為ST(n-1,1)-ST(n-2,1),而觸控單元T(n,1)的感測訊號為ST(n,1)-ST(n-1,1)。In this embodiment, the control unit 104 can use the two original signals adjacent in time to subtract each other for noise cancellation. For example, during the line scan period, LS1 and LS2 are adjacent in time, so the original signal ST(2, 1) of the LS2 during the line scan period can be used as the reference signal of the original signal ST(1, 1) of the line scan period LS1. The control unit 104 can subtract the reference signal (that is, ST(1,1)-ST(2,1)) from the first original signal ST(1,1) of the line scanning period LS1 to obtain the touch unit T(1). , 1) the sensing signal. By analogy, for example, the sensing signal of the touch unit T (2, 1) is ST (2, 1)-ST (3, 1), and the sensing signal of the touch unit T (n-2, 1) is ST(n-2,1)-ST(n-1,1). In other embodiments, the first original signal ST(1, 1) can be used as the reference signal of the second original signal ST(2, 1). The control unit 104 can subtract the reference signal (that is, ST(2,1)-ST(1,1)) from the second original signal ST(2,1) to obtain the sense of the touch unit T(2,1). Test signal. By analogy, for example, the sensing signal of the touch unit T(n-1, 1) is ST(n-1, 1)-ST(n-2, 1), and the touch unit T(n, 1) The sensing signal is ST(n, 1)-ST(n-1, 1).

又或者,控制單元104可以利用在空間上相鄰接的兩個觸控單元的原始訊號彼此相減,以進行雜訊消除。例如,觸控單元T(1,1)與T(2,1)在空間上相鄰接,因此觸控單元T(2,1)的原始訊號ST(2,1)可以作為觸控單元T(1,1)的參考訊號。控制單元104可以將觸控單元T(1,1)的第一原始訊號ST(1,1)減去參考訊號(亦即ST(1,1)-ST(2,1)),以獲得觸控單元T(1,1)的感測訊號。以此類推,例如觸控單元T(2,1)的感測訊號為ST(2,1)-ST(3,1),而觸控單元T(n-2,1)的感測訊號為ST(n-2,1)-ST(n-1,1)。於其他實施例中,觸控單元T(1,1)的原始訊號ST(1,1)可以作為觸控單元T(2,1)的參考訊號。控制單元104可以將觸控單元T(2,1)的原始訊號減去參考訊號(亦即ST(2,1)-ST(1,1)),以獲得觸控單元T(2,1)的感測訊號。以此類推,例如觸控單元T(n-1,1)的感測訊號為ST(n-1,1)-ST(n-2,1),而觸控單元T(n,1)的感測訊號為ST(n,1)-ST(n-1,1)。Alternatively, the control unit 104 can subtract the original signals of the two touch units adjacent in space to cancel the noise cancellation. For example, the touch unit T (1, 1) is spatially adjacent to the T (2, 1), so the original signal ST (2, 1) of the touch unit T (2, 1) can be used as the touch unit T. Reference signal for (1,1). The control unit 104 can subtract the reference signal (that is, ST(1,1)-ST(2,1)) from the first original signal ST(1,1) of the touch unit T(1,1) to obtain the touch. The sensing signal of the control unit T (1, 1). By analogy, for example, the sensing signal of the touch unit T (2, 1) is ST (2, 1)-ST (3, 1), and the sensing signal of the touch unit T (n-2, 1) is ST(n-2,1)-ST(n-1,1). In other embodiments, the original signal ST(1,1) of the touch unit T(1,1) can be used as a reference signal of the touch unit T(2,1). The control unit 104 can subtract the reference signal (that is, ST(2,1)-ST(1,1)) from the original signal of the touch unit T(2,1) to obtain the touch unit T(2,1). Sensing signal. By analogy, for example, the sensing signal of the touch unit T(n-1, 1) is ST(n-1, 1)-ST(n-2, 1), and the touch unit T(n, 1) The sensing signal is ST(n, 1)-ST(n-1, 1).

另外,感測線S1上觸控單元T(x,1)的感測訊號求得方式亦可類推至其它感測線S2~Sm上觸控單元T(x,2)~T(x,m),例如感測模組102可偵測各條感測線S2~Sm上的觸控單元T(x,2)~T(x,m)而輸出多個原始訊號ST(x,2)~ST(x,m),進而求出對應的參考訊號與感測訊號,其細節在此亦不再贅述。In addition, the sensing signal obtaining manner of the touch unit T(x, 1) on the sensing line S1 can also be analogized to the touch units T(x, 2)~T(x, m) on the other sensing lines S2~Sm. For example, the sensing module 102 can detect the touch units T(x, 2)~T(x, m) on the sensing lines S2~Sm and output a plurality of original signals ST(x, 2)~ST(x). , m), and then find the corresponding reference signal and sensing signal, the details of which are not repeated here.

藉由去除各個觸控單元原始訊號的低頻雜訊而獲得對應的感測訊號後,感測訊號中剩下的高頻雜訊則可利用低通濾波器、數位訊號處理器(Digital Signal Processor,DSP)濾波器(未繪示)來濾除。如此,控制單元104便可依據去除高頻雜訊與低頻雜訊後的感測訊號求出正確的觸控位置。After the corresponding sensing signal is obtained by removing the low frequency noise of the original signals of the respective touch units, the remaining high frequency noise in the sensing signal can utilize a low pass filter and a digital signal processor (Digital Signal Processor, A DSP) filter (not shown) is used to filter out. In this way, the control unit 104 can determine the correct touch position according to the sensing signal after removing the high frequency noise and the low frequency noise.

值得注意的是,驅動訊號D1~Dn的波形亦不限定為如圖2的驅動波形,亦即掃描線P1~Pn並不限定要依照P1、P2、...、Pn-2、Pn-1、Pn的順序而被致能。舉例來說,亦可先驅動/致能奇數條的掃描線(例如P1、P3、...),再驅動/致能偶數條的掃描線(例如P2、...)。於此例中,觸控單元T(1,1)的原始訊號ST(1,1)與觸控單元T(3,1)的原始訊號ST(3,1)在時間上相鄰接,因此原始訊號ST(3,1)可以作為原始訊號ST(1,1)的參考訊號。控制單元104可以將觸控單元T(1,1)的原始訊號減去參考訊號(亦即ST(1,1)-ST(3,1)),以獲得觸控單元T(1,1)的感測訊號。以此類推可以求得其餘觸控單元的感測訊號。於其他實施例中,第一原始訊號ST(1,1)可以作為第三原始訊號ST(3,1)的參考訊號。控制單元104可以將第三原始訊號ST(3,1)減去參考訊號(亦即ST(3,1)-ST(1,1)),以獲得觸控單元T(2,1)的感測訊號。It should be noted that the waveforms of the driving signals D1~Dn are not limited to the driving waveforms as shown in FIG. 2, that is, the scanning lines P1~Pn are not limited to be in accordance with P1, P2, ..., Pn-2, Pn-1. , the order of Pn is enabled. For example, it is also possible to drive/enable odd-numbered scan lines (eg, P1, P3, ...) and then drive/enable even-numbered scan lines (eg, P2, ...). In this example, the original signal ST(1,1) of the touch unit T(1,1) is temporally adjacent to the original signal ST(3,1) of the touch unit T(3,1), so The original signal ST(3,1) can be used as the reference signal of the original signal ST(1,1). The control unit 104 can subtract the reference signal (that is, ST(1,1)-ST(3,1)) from the original signal of the touch unit T(1,1) to obtain the touch unit T(1,1). Sensing signal. By analogy, the sensing signals of the remaining touch units can be obtained. In other embodiments, the first original signal ST(1, 1) can be used as the reference signal of the third original signal ST(3, 1). The control unit 104 can subtract the reference signal (that is, ST(3,1)-ST(1,1)) from the third original signal ST(3,1) to obtain the sense of the touch unit T(2,1). Test signal.

又或者是,參考訊號可依據二個或更多個線掃描期間所產生的原始訊號求出。舉例來說,控制單元104可將觸控單元T(2,1)~T(3,1)對應的原始訊號ST(2,1)~ST(3,1)的平均值或加權平均值做為觸控單元T(1,1)的參考訊號,而求得觸控單元T(1,1)的感測訊號,例如為ST(1,1)-[ST(2,1)+ST(3,1)]/2,而觸控單元T(n-2,1)的感測訊號為ST(n-2,1)-[ST(n-1,1)+ST(n,1)]/2。或是,控制單元104將觸控單元T(1,1)~T(2,1)的原始訊號ST(1,1)~ST(2,1)的平均值或加權平均值做為觸控單元T(3,1)的參考訊號,而求得觸控單元T(3,1)的感測訊號,例如為ST(3,1)-[ST(1,1)+ST(2,1)]/2,而觸控單元T(n,1)的感測訊號為ST(n,1)-[ST(n-2,1)+ST(n-1,1)]/2。Alternatively, the reference signal can be derived from the original signal generated during two or more line scans. For example, the control unit 104 may perform an average value or a weighted average of the original signals ST(2, 1) to ST(3, 1) corresponding to the touch units T(2, 1) to T(3, 1). For the reference signal of the touch unit T (1, 1), the sensing signal of the touch unit T (1, 1) is obtained, for example, ST (1, 1) - [ST (2, 1) + ST ( 3,1)]/2, and the sensing signal of the touch unit T(n-2,1) is ST(n-2,1)-[ST(n-1,1)+ST(n,1) ]/2. Alternatively, the control unit 104 uses the average or weighted average of the original signals ST(1,1)~ST(2,1) of the touch units T(1,1)~T(2,1) as the touch. The reference signal of the unit T (3, 1) is obtained, and the sensing signal of the touch unit T (3, 1) is obtained, for example, ST (3, 1) - [ST (1, 1) + ST (2, 1) )]/2, and the sensing signal of the touch unit T(n, 1) is ST(n, 1)-[ST(n-2, 1)+ST(n-1, 1)]/2.

在其他實施例中,控制單元104將同一條感測線的所有觸控單元的原始訊號進行平均運算或加權平均訊算,以求得參考訊號。例如,控制單元104將觸控單元T(2,1)~T(n,1)的原始訊號ST(2,1)~ST(n,1)的平均值或加權平均值做為觸控單元T(1,1)的參考訊號。又或者,控制單元104將原始訊號ST(1,1)~ST(n,1)的平均值或加權平均值做為感測線S1的所有觸控單元T(1,1)~T(n,1)的參考訊號。In other embodiments, the control unit 104 performs an average operation or a weighted average calculation on the original signals of all the touch units of the same sensing line to obtain a reference signal. For example, the control unit 104 uses the average or weighted average of the original signals ST(2, 1)~ST(n, 1) of the touch units T(2, 1)~T(n, 1) as the touch unit. Reference signal of T(1,1). Alternatively, the control unit 104 uses the average or weighted average of the original signals ST(1,1)~ST(n,1) as all the touch units T(1,1)~T(n, of the sensing line S1. 1) Reference signal.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the touch position of the user's finger on the touch panel 106 is the intersection of the scan line Pn-2 and the sensing line Sm, that is, the touch unit T(n-2, m). The difference in capacitance caused by the user's finger on the sensing capacitance Cs(n-2, m) of the touch unit T(n-2, m) is ΔC.

運算放大器A1~Am分別於不同的線掃瞄期間偵測對應的掃描線上的觸控單元以輸出多個原始訊號。在此假設所有感測電容的電容值是Cs。舉例來說,當掃描線Pn-2被致能時,運算放大器A1~Am輸出觸控單元T(n-2,1)~T(n-2,m)的原始訊號ST(n-2,1)~ST(n-2,m)至控制單元104,其電壓值分別為V(n-2,1)~V(n-2,m)。其中,原始訊號ST(n-2,m-1)的電壓值V(n-2,m-1)可以下列式子表示:The operational amplifiers A1~Am detect the touch units on the corresponding scan lines during different line scans to output a plurality of original signals. It is assumed here that the capacitance value of all the sensing capacitors is Cs. For example, when the scan line Pn-2 is enabled, the operational amplifiers A1~Am output the original signal ST(n-2, of the touch unit T(n-2,1)~T(n-2,m), 1) ~ ST (n-2, m) to the control unit 104, the voltage values are V (n-2, 1) ~ V (n-2, m).

在本實施例中,可設定位於同一個感測線Sm的原始訊號ST(n-1,m)做為原始訊號ST(n-2,m)的參考訊號。控制單元104可藉由將原始訊號ST(n-2,m)與對應的參考訊號ST(n-1,m)相減以去除原始訊號ST(n-2,m)中的低頻雜訊。以此類推,控制單元104可藉由將原始訊號ST(n-2,1)~ST(n-2,m-1)分別與對應的參考訊號ST(n-1,1)~ST(n-1,m-1)相減,以去除原始訊號ST(n-2,1)~ST(n-2,m-1)中的低頻雜訊。舉例來說,在本實施例中去除低頻雜訊後的感測訊號ST’(n-2,m-1)的電壓值ΔV(n-2,m-1)可如下列式子所示:In this embodiment, the original signal ST(n-1, m) located on the same sensing line Sm can be set as the reference signal of the original signal ST(n-2, m). The control unit 104 can remove the low frequency noise in the original signal ST(n-2, m) by subtracting the original signal ST(n-2, m) from the corresponding reference signal ST(n-1, m). By analogy, the control unit 104 can respectively use the original signals ST(n-2, 1)~ST(n-2, m-1) and the corresponding reference signals ST(n-1, 1)~ST(n -1, m-1) subtracts to remove low frequency noise in the original signal ST(n-2,1)~ST(n-2,m-1). For example, the voltage value ΔV(n-2, m-1) of the sensing signal ST'(n-2, m-1) after removing the low frequency noise in the embodiment may be as follows:

類似地,其他觸控單元的感測訊號亦可以類似的方式求得,因此不再贅述。Similarly, the sensing signals of other touch units can be obtained in a similar manner, and therefore will not be described again.

經由控制單元104將各個原始訊號與對應的參考訊號相減後,所獲得的感測訊號中僅剩下高頻雜訊電壓以及手指觸碰觸控面板106時所造成的感測電壓差。其中高頻雜訊電壓可藉由習知技術的低通濾波器或DSP濾波器(未繪示)輕易地濾除,而使感測訊號僅留下手指觸碰觸控面板106時所造成的感測電壓差,如此便可避免感測結果受到雜訊電壓的影響而造成觸控位置的誤判。After the original signal is subtracted from the corresponding reference signal by the control unit 104, only the high frequency noise voltage and the sensing voltage difference caused by the finger touching the touch panel 106 are left in the obtained sensing signal. The high-frequency noise voltage can be easily filtered by a low-pass filter or a DSP filter (not shown) of the prior art, so that the sensing signal is only caused by the finger touching the touch panel 106. Sensing the voltage difference, this can avoid the misjudgment of the touch position caused by the influence of the noise voltage.

值得注意的是,上述之觸控單元T1並不限定為感測電容Cs,也就是說,觸控面板106並不限定為電容式觸控面板,其亦可為其它類型的觸控面板,例如電阻式觸控面板。It should be noted that the touch unit T1 is not limited to the sensing capacitor Cs. That is, the touch panel 106 is not limited to a capacitive touch panel, and may be other types of touch panels, for example. Resistive touch panel.

圖4繪示為本發明一實施例之觸控裝置的觸控感測方法的流程圖。請參照圖4,歸納上述觸控裝置100的觸控感測方法可包括下列步驟:首先,於一第一線線掃描期間(例如驅動訊號D1的線掃描期間)驅動第一觸控單元(例如觸控單元T(1,1))(步驟S402)。接著,於第一線掃描期間透過感測線(例如感測線S1)偵測第一觸控單元以獲得一第一原始訊號(例如原始訊號ST(1,1))(步驟S404),其中觸控單元可例如為感測電容。之後,於一第二線掃描期間(例如驅動訊號D2的線掃描期間)驅動第二觸控單元(例如觸控單元T(2,1))(步驟S406),其中參考訊號可例如為某一線掃描期間內感測模組102所輸出的原始訊號,或者是相鄰上一個或下一個線掃描期間感測模組102所輸出的原始訊號,又或者是不同線掃描期間所產生的原始訊號的平均值或加權平均值。接著,於第二線掃描期間透過感測線偵測第二觸控單元以獲得一第二原始訊號(例如原始訊號ST(2,1))(步驟S408)。之後,依據第二原始訊號求出一參考訊號(步驟S410)。最後,將第一原始訊號減去參考訊號,以獲得第一觸控單元的感測訊號(步驟S412)。FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a touch sensing method of a touch device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 4 , the touch sensing method of the touch device 100 may include the following steps: first, driving a first touch unit during a first line scan (eg, during a line scan of the drive signal D1) (eg, Touch unit T (1, 1)) (step S402). Then, the first touch unit is detected by the sensing line (for example, the sensing line S1) to obtain a first original signal (for example, the original signal ST(1, 1)) during the first line scanning (step S404). The unit can be, for example, a sensing capacitor. Then, the second touch unit (for example, the touch unit T(2, 1)) is driven during a second line scan period (for example, during the line scan of the drive signal D2) (step S406), wherein the reference signal can be, for example, a certain line. The original signal output by the sensing module 102 during the scanning period, or the original signal output by the sensing module 102 during the previous previous or next line scanning period, or the original signal generated during the different line scanning period. Average or weighted average. Then, during the second line scan, the second touch unit is detected through the sensing line to obtain a second original signal (for example, the original signal ST(2, 1)) (step S408). Then, a reference signal is obtained according to the second original signal (step S410). Finally, the reference signal is subtracted from the first original signal to obtain a sensing signal of the first touch unit (step S412).

綜上所述,本實施例將不同線掃描期間所得到的原始訊號求出參考訊號,並將各個原始訊號分別減去對應的參考訊號,以去除原始訊號中所包含的低頻雜訊而得到對應的感測訊號,使感測訊號中僅剩下高頻雜訊電壓以及手指觸碰觸控面板時所造成的感測電壓差。其中高頻雜訊電壓可藉由習知技術的低通濾波器或DSP濾波器輕易地濾除,而使感測訊號中僅剩下手指觸碰觸控面板時所造成的感測電壓差,如此便可避免感測結果受到雜訊電壓的影響而提高判斷觸控位置的正確性。In summary, in this embodiment, the original signal obtained during different line scans is used to obtain a reference signal, and each original signal is respectively subtracted from the corresponding reference signal to remove the low frequency noise included in the original signal to obtain a corresponding signal. The sensing signal is such that only the high frequency noise voltage is left in the sensing signal and the sensing voltage difference caused by the finger touching the touch panel. The high-frequency noise voltage can be easily filtered by a low-pass filter or a DSP filter of the prior art, so that only the sensing voltage difference caused by the finger touching the touch panel remains in the sensing signal. In this way, the sensing result is prevented from being affected by the noise voltage, and the correctness of determining the touch position is improved.
