適用於觸控螢幕之控制電路Control circuit for touch screen

本發明是有關於一種適用於觸控螢幕之控制電路,以電阻式觸控螢幕為例,特別是指一種控制電路對於該電阻式觸控螢幕之辨識區域能達到多點讀取的目的結果(一次取得多於一組(X軸,Y軸)座標值)。The invention relates to a control circuit suitable for a touch screen, taking a resistive touch screen as an example, in particular, a control circuit can achieve multi-point reading for the identification area of the resistive touch screen ( Get more than one set (X-axis, Y-axis) coordinate values at a time).

觸控螢幕(Touch panel)又稱為觸控面板,是個可接收觸頭(無論是手指或膠筆尖等)等輸入信號的螢幕,裝置於LCD(液晶顯示器)前,當接觸了螢幕上的圖形按鈕時,螢幕上的觸覺反饋系統可根據預先編程的程式驅動各種連結裝置,可用以取代機械式的按鈕面板,並藉由液晶顯示畫面製造出生動的影音效果。A touch panel, also known as a touch panel, is a screen that can receive input signals such as a finger or a glue tip. It is placed in front of the LCD (liquid crystal display) and touches the graphic on the screen. When the button is pressed, the on-screen tactile feedback system can drive various connection devices according to a pre-programmed program, which can replace the mechanical button panel and create a live sound and video effect through the liquid crystal display screen.

簡單地說,觸控螢幕指一種可觸控式的螢幕,通常是在LCD液晶面板上覆蓋一層壓力板,其對壓力有高敏感度,當物體施壓於其上時會有電流信號產生以定出壓力源位置,並可動態追蹤。Simply put, a touch screen refers to a touch-sensitive screen. Usually, a liquid crystal panel is covered with a pressure plate, which is highly sensitive to pressure. When an object is pressed on it, a current signal is generated. The pressure source location is determined and dynamically tracked.

就目前市場Touch Panel製作技術種類(表1.1)大致可分為五類:The current types of Touch Panel production technologies (Table 1.1) can be roughly divided into five categories:

1.電阻式(resistive)、2.電容式(capacitive)、3.聲波式(acoustic)、4.投射式電容(projected capacitive)及5.紅外線式(infrared rays)。1. resistive, 2. capacitive, 3. acoustic, 4. projected capacitive, and 5. infrared ray.

表1.1 Touch Panel製作技術種類Table 1.1 Types of Touch Panel Manufacturing Technology

而以市面上較常使用的電阻式觸控螢幕為例,請參照第1圖,其為習用電阻式觸控面板的工作原理示意圖。對於電阻式觸控面板1而言,其具有上導電層11與下導電層12,上導電層11及下導電層12中間亦以間隙物13(圖中未示出)分隔。下導電層12的四周圍分別設置了複數條分壓電極與複數條輔助電極,而位於相對邊的分壓電極與輔助電極是彼此平行,位於相鄰邊的分壓電極與輔助電極是彼此垂直。位於其中一組相互平行之對邊的分壓電極與輔助電極共同形成二條X電路121、121’,而位於另一組相互平行之對邊的分壓電極與輔助電極共同形成二條Y電路122、122’。For example, the resistive touch screen used in the market is taken as an example. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the working principle of the conventional resistive touch panel. For the resistive touch panel 1, it has an upper conductive layer 11 and a lower conductive layer 12, and the upper conductive layer 11 and the lower conductive layer 12 are also separated by a spacer 13 (not shown). A plurality of voltage dividing electrodes and a plurality of auxiliary electrodes are respectively disposed around the lower conductive layer 12, and the voltage dividing electrode and the auxiliary electrode on the opposite sides are parallel to each other, and the voltage dividing electrode and the auxiliary electrode on the adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other. . The voltage dividing electrode and the auxiliary electrode located in a pair of mutually parallel sides form two X circuits 121, 121', and the voltage dividing electrode and the auxiliary electrode located on the opposite side of the other group form two Y circuits 122, 122'.

承上,利用二條X電路121、121’之間形成一個5V的電壓降,並且利用二條Y電路122、122’之間形成另一個5V的電壓降。當觸控面板1被使用者觸碰時,便能夠藉由上導電層11來偵測出下導電層12被觸碰所在點的的電壓大小,所偵測到的電壓值傳送給控制器(圖中未示出)後取得其座標值。而較不幸地,當使用者同時針對電阻式觸控螢幕之辨識區域觸碰兩點或兩點以上時,則礙於現有技術目前尚未實現。As a result, a voltage drop of 5 V is formed between the two X circuits 121, 121', and another voltage drop of 5 V is formed between the two Y circuits 122, 122'. When the touch panel 1 is touched by the user, the upper conductive layer 11 can detect the voltage of the point where the lower conductive layer 12 is touched, and the detected voltage value is transmitted to the controller ( The coordinate value is obtained after not shown in the figure. Unfortunately, when the user touches two or more points on the identification area of the resistive touch screen at the same time, the prior art is not yet realized.

尚且,對於如電阻式觸控螢幕運用於PDA、提款機、到工業用的觸控電腦時,其觸控螢幕上的人機介面(user interface)上圖像及其與相應電性連接的內部電路運作方面也是開發人員需考慮的設計觀點。簡易地說,在電阻式觸控螢幕上的人機介面提供下列方式與使用者進行互動:Moreover, for a touch-sensitive computer such as a resistive touch screen for use in a PDA, a cash machine, or an industrial touch computer, an image on a user interface on the touch screen and its corresponding electrical connection Internal circuit operation is also a design perspective that developers need to consider. Simply put, the human interface on the resistive touch screen provides the following ways to interact with the user:

輸入訊息模式:以多個不同圖像選項或文字輸入框(統稱為辨識區域)提供使用者操作使用。Input message mode: Provides user operation with multiple different image options or text input boxes (collectively referred to as identification areas).

輸出訊息模式:觸控螢幕依照使用者所輸入訊息相應地顯示其內部電路所進行處理的結果。Output message mode: The touch screen displays the result of processing by its internal circuit according to the message input by the user.

所不期望地,在電阻式觸控螢幕之辨識區域上,因使用者在辨識區域上進行資料訊息之輸入程序時,若觸碰到其它的使用者不期望的圖像選項時,使得在建構在該電阻式觸控螢幕之輸出訊息模式會立即顯示出不被期望的結果。Undesirably, in the identification area of the resistive touch screen, when the user inputs the data message on the identification area, if the user selects an image option that is not desired by the user, the construction is made. The output message mode on the resistive touch screen immediately shows an undesired result.

是故,如有一種電路係能對於觸控螢幕(如電阻式觸控螢幕為例)之辨識區域觸碰兩點或兩點以上時同時進行信號處理及建構在該電阻式觸控螢幕之輸出訊息模式不會顯示出使用者不被期望的結果應是迫切需要的。Therefore, if a circuit system can touch two or more points in the recognition area of a touch screen (such as a resistive touch screen), the signal processing is simultaneously performed and the output of the resistive touch screen is constructed. The message mode does not show that the user's undesired results should be urgently needed.

The reading unit is configured with a type of comparison digital converter. When the user touches the identification area of the resistive touch screen multiple times (also referred to at least twice), the purpose of multi-point reading can also be achieved. (Get more than one set (X-axis, Y-axis) coordinate values at a time).

特別地,對於習知觸控螢幕顯示出不被期望的結果的缺陋,本發明亦提供一種電路及軟體設計的策略,當使用者在該電阻式觸控螢幕上多個辨識區域上進行資料輸入訊息程序,若觸碰到其它的使用者不期望的圖像選項時,在該控制電路內的該多工器依據該主機端或該多工器內設一選擇信號之指定狀態選擇性地輸出包含全部已被選取或部份已被選取多個外接信號讀取線之資訊之多個類比信號,並經該類比對數位轉換器轉換為相應地該等數位信號後,接著,經該類比對數位轉換器轉換為相應地數位信號,最後經由該主機端內的一驅動程式或應用程式依據與該等辨識區域相關聯的一預定狀態進行判別以決定是否輸出該等數位信號。In particular, the present invention also provides a circuit and software design strategy for a user to display data on a plurality of identification areas on the resistive touch screen for the lack of undesired results of the conventional touch screen. Entering a message program, if the image option that is not desired by the user is touched, the multiplexer in the control circuit selectively selects a specified state of the selection signal according to the host end or the multiplexer Outputting a plurality of analog signals including all of the selected or partially selected external signal read lines, and converting the analog signals to corresponding digital signals, and then comparing the analog signals The digital converter converts to a corresponding digital signal, and finally determines whether to output the digital signal according to a predetermined state associated with the identification areas via a driver or application in the host.

在此同時,該主機端33或由一控制偏壓電路(未顯示)來產生一控制偏壓信號CS ,而在該控制電路3內的該電壓偏壓控制器34係根據來自該主機端33之該控制偏壓信號CS 而產生包含多個偏壓值之一偏壓信號BSAt the same time, the host terminal 33 or a control bias circuit (not shown) generates a control bias signal C S , and the voltage bias controller 34 in the control circuit 3 is based on the slave host. The control bias signal C S of terminal 33 produces a bias signal B S comprising a plurality of bias values.

同樣地,在該第一電壓信號V1在該類比對數位轉換器32進行類比數位轉換之後,來自該第二外接信號讀取線N2 之該第二電壓信號V2經該多工器31之該選擇端S所依據此選擇信號SP 之指定狀態透過該多工器31之該輸出端Z而被傳送到該類比數位轉換器32以進行一類比對數位轉換程序,並被轉換出包含多個數位碼之一另一數位信號,可推及地,被轉換成數位信號之該第二電壓信號V2其後續處理過程與該第一電壓信號V1相同,故在此不必撰述。Similarly, after the first voltage signal V1 is analog-digital converted by the analog-to-digital converter 32, the second voltage signal V2 from the second external signal read line N 2 passes through the multiplexer 31. The designated state of the selection signal S P is transmitted to the analog-to-digital converter 32 through the output terminal Z of the multiplexer 31 for performing a class of analog-to-digital conversion process, and is converted into a plurality of The other digital signal of one of the digit codes can be pushed, and the subsequent processing of the second voltage signal V2 converted into a digital signal is the same as the first voltage signal V1, so it is not necessary to write it here.

特別地,對於習知該電阻式觸控螢幕4顯示出不被期望的結果的缺陋,配置在該電阻式觸控螢幕4與該類比對數位轉換器32之間的該多工器31所依據前述該等語言程式碼所預先規劃含多個判別式之程式碼進行讀取。In particular, for the conventional display that the resistive touch screen 4 exhibits an undesired result, the multiplexer 31 is disposed between the resistive touch screen 4 and the analog-to-digital converter 32. According to the foregoing language code, a program code containing a plurality of discriminant codes is pre-planned for reading.

舉例來說,在該電阻式觸控螢幕4之辨識區域之兩預選區塊A1及A2中,使用者所期望地欲對預選區塊A1進行文字輸入訊息時,不小心觸碰到預選區塊A2,瞬時,該多工器31之該第一輸入端M1 及該第二輸入端M2 分別地接收來自該第一外接信號讀取線N1 之該第一電壓信號V1及來自該第二外接信號讀取線N2 之該第二電壓信號V2,此時,該多工器31會透過其具有該選擇端S來接收含多個判別式程式碼之該選擇信號SP 進行判別程序,在該多工器31之該輸出端Z會依續地輸出來自該第一外接信號讀取線N1 之該第一電壓信號V1及來自該第二外接信號讀取線N2 之該第二電壓信號V2之一者。相同於先前說明,此等電壓信號V1及V2依續地經該類比對數位轉換器32轉換為包含多個數位碼之一第一數位信號及一第二數位信號,此時,該主機端33分別地接收該等數位信號,及在該主機端33內的一驅動程式或應用程式依據與該等辨識區域(以預選區塊A1及A2例)相關聯的一預定狀態進行判別以決定是否輸出該等數位信號。所知悉地,不期望的該第二數位信號經由該驅動程式或應用程式所依據該預定狀態而決定為不輸出,使得在該電阻式觸控螢幕4之輸出訊息模式只顯示出使用者所期望的訊息結果(亦指預選區塊A1)。For example, in the two preselected blocks A1 and A2 of the identification area of the resistive touch screen 4, when the user desires to input a text input message to the preselected block A1, the preselected block is accidentally touched. A2, instantaneous, the first input terminal of the multiplexer M 31 of the second input terminal 1 and M 2 respectively received from the first external signal reading line N 1 of the first voltage Vl and the signal from the second The second external signal reads the second voltage signal V2 of the line N 2 . At this time, the multiplexer 31 receives the selection signal S P including the plurality of discriminant codes through the selection terminal S to perform the discriminating process. The first voltage signal V1 from the first external signal reading line N 1 and the second external signal reading line N 2 are continuously outputted from the output terminal Z of the multiplexer 31. One of the two voltage signals V2. Similarly to the previous description, the voltage signals V1 and V2 are successively converted by the analog-to-digital converter 32 to include a first digital signal and a second digital signal of a plurality of digital codes. At this time, the host terminal 33 Receiving the digital signals separately, and a driver or application in the host terminal 33 determines whether to output according to a predetermined state associated with the identification regions (in the preselected blocks A1 and A2). These digital signals. It is known that the undesired second digit signal is determined not to be output according to the predetermined state via the driver or the application, so that the output message mode of the resistive touch screen 4 only displays the user's expectation. The result of the message (also referred to as pre-selected block A1).

而對於使用者在該電阻式觸控螢幕4之多個辨識區上碰觸一不期望的圖像選項時,在該主機端33依據與該等辨識區域相關聯的一預定狀態進行判別的情況下,使得在建構在該電阻式觸控螢幕4之輸出訊息模式不會顯示出不被期望的結果。When the user touches an undesired image option on the plurality of identification areas of the resistive touch screen 4, the host side 33 determines the predetermined state according to the identification area associated with the identification areas. Underneath, the output message mode constructed on the resistive touch screen 4 does not show an undesired result.

令人理解地,當同時地觸碰A1及A2該兩預選區塊時,在該電阻式觸控螢幕8內的上下層電極會導通並同時地產生一第一電壓信號V1及一第二電壓信號V2(其中,該等電壓信號V1及V2皆視為一種類比信號)。而對於在於該電阻式觸控螢幕8內已被產生的該第一電壓信號V1及該第二電壓信號V2則透過其所相應連接的該等外接信號讀取線之一第一外接信號讀取線N1 及一第二外接信號讀取線N2 一併地被傳送其所相應地相連接的一第一獨立讀取單元U1及一第二獨立讀取單元U2。It is understood that when the two pre-selected blocks of A1 and A2 are simultaneously touched, the upper and lower electrodes in the resistive touch screen 8 are turned on and simultaneously generate a first voltage signal V1 and a second voltage.

The first voltage signal V1 and the second voltage signal V2 that have been generated in the resistive touch screen 8 are read by the first external signal through one of the external signal reading lines connected thereto. The line N 1 and the second external signal reading line N 2 are collectively transmitted with a first independent reading unit U1 and a second independent reading unit U2 which are connected thereto.

同步地,該第一獨立讀取單元U1將所接收來自該第一外接信號讀取線N1 之該第一電壓信號V1轉換為一第一類比信號P1及該第二獨立讀取單元U2將所接收來自該第二外接信號讀取線N2 之該第二電壓信號V2轉換為一第二類比信號P2,接著,來自該第一獨立讀取單元U1之該第一類比信號P1及來自該第二獨立讀取單元U2之該第二類比信號P2分別地經由一第一類比對數位轉換器C1及一第二類比對數位轉換器進行類比數位轉換,以將該第一類比信號P1及該第二類比信號P2轉換為一第一數位信號D1及一第二數位信號D2,接著,來自該第一類比對數位轉換器C1之該第一數位信號D1與該第二類比對數位轉換器C2之該第二數位信號D2被傳送到該主機端53內,與每一類比對數位轉換器電性連接的該主機端53依據該等數位信號D1及D2進行一特定處理程序,需解釋,在於該主機端53所進行的特定處理程序,如計算施壓介質的多個座標位置,或每點與另一點相隔的距離等等。Synchronization, the first unit U1 is independently reading the received signal read from the first external line N converts the first voltage signal V1 of an analog signal to a first P1 and the second unit U2 to read independently The second voltage signal V2 received from the second external signal reading line N 2 is converted into a second analog signal P2, and then the first analog signal P1 from the first independent reading unit U1 and from the The second analog signal P2 of the second independent reading unit U2 is analog-digital converted by a first analog-to-digital converter C1 and a second analog-to-digital converter, respectively, to the first analog signal P1 and the The second analog signal P2 is converted into a first digital signal D1 and a second digital signal D2, and then the first digital signal D1 from the first analog-to-digital converter C1 and the second analog-to-digital converter C2 The second digit signal D2 is transmitted to the host terminal 53. The host terminal 53 electrically connected to each type of analog-to-digital converter performs a specific processing procedure according to the digit signals D1 and D2. The host side 53 performs Handler, a plurality of computing the coordinate position of the pressure medium, or the distance of each point and another point spaced like.

在此同時,該主機端53或由一控制偏壓電路(未顯示)來產生一控制偏壓信號CS ,而在該控制電路5內的該電壓偏壓控制器54係根據來自該主機端53之該控制偏壓信號CS 而產生包含多個偏壓值之一偏壓信號BSAt the same time, the host terminal 53 or a control bias circuit (not shown) generates a control bias signal C S , and the voltage bias controller 54 in the control circuit 5 is based on the slave host. The control of the bias signal C S of the terminal 53 produces a bias signal B S comprising a plurality of bias values.

於前述第二實施例中以多個獨立讀取單元(亦指至少二個獨立讀取單元以上)實現多點讀取的目的結果(一次取得多於一組(X軸,Y軸)座標值),於克服習知該電阻式觸控螢幕顯示出不被期望的結果的缺陋,該等獨立讀取單元之電路可設計為:每一獨立讀取單元依各自一預設狀態(如以布林值1為進行信號轉換,布林值為0不進行信號轉換)而相應地轉換或不轉換類比信號及該主機端53內的一驅動程式或應用程式依據與該等辨識區域相關聯的一預定狀態進行判別以決定是否輸出該等數位信號。In the foregoing second embodiment, the result of multi-point reading is realized by a plurality of independent reading units (also referred to as at least two independent reading units) (more than one set (X-axis, Y-axis) coordinate values are obtained at a time. ), in order to overcome the drawback that the resistive touch screen exhibits an undesired result, the circuits of the independent read units can be designed such that each individual read unit is in a predetermined state (eg, The Boolean value 1 is for signal conversion, the Boolean value is 0 for no signal conversion) and the analog signal is converted or not converted accordingly, and a driver or application in the host terminal 53 is associated with the identification region. A predetermined state is discriminated to determine whether to output the digital signals.

舉例來說,在該電阻式觸控螢幕8之辨識區域之兩預選區塊A1及A2中,使用者所期望地欲對預選區塊A1進行文字輸入訊息時,不小心觸碰到預選區塊A2,瞬時,在於該電阻式觸控螢幕8內已被產生的該第一電壓信號V1及該第二電壓信號V2則透過其所相應連接的該等外接信號讀取線之一第一外接信號讀取線N1 及一第二外接信號讀取線N2 一併地被傳送其所相應地相連接的一第一獨立讀取單元U1及一第二獨立讀取單元U2。For example, in the two pre-selected blocks A1 and A2 of the identification area of the resistive touch screen 8, when the user desires to input a text message to the pre-selected block A1, the pre-selected block is accidentally touched. A2, instantaneously, the first voltage signal V1 and the second voltage signal V2 that have been generated in the resistive touch screen 8 are transmitted through the first external signal of one of the external signal reading lines connected thereto. The read line N 1 and the second external signal read line N 2 are collectively transmitted with a first independent read unit U1 and a second independent read unit U2 connected thereto.

同步地,該第一獨立讀取單元U1將所接收來自該第一外接信號讀取線N1 之該第一電壓信號V1且依自身的一預設狀態(布林值為1)將該第一電壓信號V1轉換為該第一類比信號P1,及該第二獨立讀取單元U2將所接收來自該第二外接信號讀取線N2 之該第二電壓信號V2且依自身的一預設狀態(布林值為1)將該第二電壓信號V2轉換為該第二類比信號P2。Synchronization, the first unit U1 is independently reading the received external signal to read the first line of the first voltage signal V1 from N 1 and of itself by a predetermined state (a Boolean value) of the A voltage signal V1 is converted into the first analog signal P1, and the second independent reading unit U2 receives the second voltage signal V2 from the second external signal reading line N 2 and is preset by itself.

At this time, the host terminal 53 Receiving the digital signals D1 and D2, respectively, and determining a driver or application in the host terminal 53 according to a predetermined state associated with the identification regions (in the preselected blocks A1 and A2) It is determined whether or not to output the digital signals D1 and D2. It is known that the undesired second digit signal D2 is determined not to be output based on the predetermined state via the driver or application. The output message mode of the resistive touch screen 8 also displays only the result of the message desired by the user (also referred to as pre-selected block A1).

而對於使用者在該電阻式觸控螢幕8之多個辨識區上碰觸一不期望的圖像選項時,在該主機端53依據與該等辨識區域相關聯的一預定狀態進行判別的情況下,使得在建構在該電阻式觸控螢幕8之輸出訊息模式不會顯示出不被期望的結果。When the user touches an undesired image option on the plurality of recognition areas of the resistive touch screen 8, the host side 53 determines the predetermined state according to the identification area associated with the identification areas. Underneath, the output message mode constructed on the resistive touch screen 8 does not show undesired results.
