前述的相迭的导电条间由复数个绝缘粒子相隔，未被压触时彼此电性 绝缘， 并且在被压触时构成被压触相迭区。
在上述位置侦测装置中，位置侦测的方法是通过侦测出被压触的相迭 区， 再依据被压触相迭区分别侦测出位于被压触相迭区上的接触点。 被 压触相迭区的侦测可以是先侦测被压触的导电条，依据被压触的导电条 判断出可能被压触相迭区，再由可能^ £触相迭区侦测出¾ ^触相迭区。
通过侦测被压触导电条， 可以缩小搜寻被压触相迭区的范围，并且通 过侦测被压触相迭区， 可以缩小搜寻接触点的范围。 因此，本发明的位置 侦测的装置与方法可以快速地侦测出所有的接触点 , 各接触点的位置可 以用二维坐标来表示。
由于本发明采用较宽的导电条， 导电条涵盖的侦测范围大于习知技 术， 因此得到优于先前技术的分辨率。
此外，本发明能同时侦测出多个不同压触物压触的接触点，可用以追 踪后续压触， 并判断出不同的手势。
本发明的第二目的在提供一种判断压触的总 Ρϋ^的装置与方法，在 前述的本发明的位置侦测装置中， 更包括： 判断压触在该些相迭区上的 每一个压触， 以及每一个压触的一总接触阻抗， 其中跨相迭区的压触的 该总接触阻抗为复数个相迭区的一接触阻抗的并联阻抗。
前述的控制器更包括依据每一压触的该总接触阻抗追踪每一压触的 后续压触， 其中每一压触与每一后续压触的该总接触阻抗的差在一预设 范围内， 并且相应于相同压触的该被压触相迭区为相邻的相迭区。
依据总接触阻抗， 可判断出笔、 手指或手掌的压触。
在总接触阻抗小于一门坎限值时，可判断为多压触于一群相 的被压 触相迭区， 反之， 为单压触相迭区。
本发明的第三目的在提供^ 位置判断接触阻抗的装置与方法，在 前述的本发明的位置侦测装置中， 接触阻抗是依据被压触相迭区的一对 导电条之一与另一在接触点的电位与接触点或相迭区的位置来判断。
本发明的接触阻抗可以是依据接触点位置或相迭区位置来判断，前者 可以得到较精确的接触阻抗， 后者可以在不知道接触点前就判断出大致 的接触阻抗， 省去侦测将被忽视的接触点位置， 可大幅度提升效能。 此 外， 在接触点或相迭区位置为已知的前提下， 仅需判断被压触导电条之 一与另一位于接触点上的电位， 即能判断出接触阻抗， 省去其它的讯号 侦测。
本发明的目的及解决其技术问题是采用以下技术方案来实现的。依据 前述的本发明提出的一种判断接触阻抗的装置与方法， 该控制器对于该 接触阻抗的判断包括： 判断接触点 /或相迭区的一第一维度位置与一第二 维度位置， 并且依据第一维度位置与第二维度位置判断出一第一维度阻 抗与一第二维度阻抗； 在一对导电条之一与另一分别被提供高电位与低 电位时侦测接触点或相迭区在该对导电条上之一与另一的一第一接触电 位与一第二接触电位； 以及判断出接触阻抗， 其中接触阻抗为
(R1+R2) / ( ( (VH-VL) / (P1-P2) ) -1) , 其中 Rl、 R2、 VH、 VL、 Pl、 P2分别 为第一维度阻抗、 第二维度阻抗、 高电位、 低电位、 第一接触电位与第 二接触电位。
本发明的第四目的在提供 具手掌忽视的位置侦测的装置与方法，在 前述的本发明的位置侦测装置中， 控制器更包括判断该些压触中被排除 的压触， 其中被排除的压触的总接触阻抗小于一门坎限值。
本发明能依据总接触阻将各压触区分为笔、手指或手掌的压触， 因此 能据此将手掌的压触忽视， 在书写过程中手掌不需要悬空， 手掌可置放 在感应器上书写。
本发明的第五目的在提供一种校正位置误差的装置与方法，在前述的 本发明的位置侦测装置中， 当导电条存在因跨同层导电条的压触的并联 阻抗时， 侦测到的接触点位置会偏向跨同层导电条的压触，造成误差。 本 发明的接触点误差校正能校正误差， 校正出正确的压触的位置。
本发明的目的及解决其技术问题是采用以下技术方案来实现的。依据 前述的本发明的位置侦测装置，控制器对于被压触相迭区的接触点的判 断包括： 轮流选择对导电条之一与另一分别作为一被驱动导电条与一被 侦测导电条；在提供一高电位与一低电位于被驱动导电条两端时侦测被 侦测导电条的电位作为一位置电位；电性耦合一延伸电阻与被驱动导电 条以构成一延伸导电条；在延伸导电条未被压触时提供高电位与低电位 于延伸导电条以侦测延伸电阻与被驱动导电条间的电位作为一未压触电 位；在延伸导电条被压触时提供高电位与低电位于延伸导电条以侦测延 伸电阻与被驱动导电条间的电位作为一被压触电位；以及依据位置电位、 被 驱动导电条的未压触电位与被压触电位判断接触点在被驱动导电条的位 置。
当跨导电条的压触较接近低电位时， 正确的侦测电位 C " P " l P " ' (Va-VL)(VH-Vd),亦即在高电位与低电位的电位差为已知 时， 依据未被压触电位 Vu、被压触电位 Vd、侦测电位 Vp, 便可以校正侦 测电位 Vp的误差， 侦测出正确的侦测电位 Vc。
当跨导电条的压触较接近高电位时，
C " P _ i P— 《一《一 ，亦即在高电位 VH与低电位 V的电位差 为已知时， 依据未被压触电位 Vu、被压触电位 Vd、侦测电位 Vp， 便可以 校正侦测电位 Vp的误差， 侦测出正确的侦测电位 Vc。
因此，依据导电条上一位置（如第一端或第二端）上电位的变化判断出 具跨相迭区接触阻抗的导电条上的位置误差比例。
本发明的第六目的在提供一种侦测位置误判的装置与方法，在前述的 本发明的位置侦测装置中，被压触相迭区的侦测会因为三个压触位于一 矩形区域的三顶点位置，误判第四个顶点位置亦是被压触相迭区， 即错误 的被压触相迭区。本发明藉由接触点位置与被压触相迭区位置的比对，来 忽视或排除错误的被压触相迭区， 亦可以进一步忽视或排除错误的被压 触相迭区的接触点。
本发明的目的及解决其技术问题是采用以下技术方案来实现的。依据 前述的本发明的位置侦测装置，控制器判断该些压触中被排除的压触，被 排除的压触相应的所有接触点中存在至少一接触点的位置落在相应的相 迭区的一误差范围之外。
前述控制器更包括：判断该些压触中被排除的压触，其中任一被排除 的压触至少满足下列条件之一： 总接触阻抗小于一门坎限值； 以及相应 于相同压触的接触点中存在至少一接触点的位置落在相应的该相迭区的 一误差范围之外； 以及判断该些压触中每一未被排除的压触的位置， 其 中每一压触的位置系依据相应于相同压触的该被压触相迭区的该接触点 的位置来判断。
前述的相应于相同压触的接触点中存在至少一接触点的位置落在相 应的该相迭区的一误差范围之外的判断可以是先于前述校正接触点误差 的判断。
本发明的第七目的在提供一种利用多位置侦测方式忽视手掌的装置 与方法。 本发明以第一种碰触或压触的侦测方式在第二种碰触或压触的 侦测方式上定义一被忽视范围，其中该被忽视范围可包括复数个独立的 被忽视区域。 利用第一种侦测方式定义出手掌或大面积压触或碰触的范 围， 即被忽视范围，因此在第二种位置侦测时可忽视在被忽视范围中的压 触或碰触。第一种侦测方式可以是较粗略的多压触或多碰触侦测方式，再 以第二种侦测方式精确地侦测被忽视范围外的压触或碰触 , 同时兼具效 能快与精确度高的优点。
前述第一种碰触或压触的侦测方式在第二种碰触或压触可以是利用 相同的感应器来达成， 例如前述的第一导电条与第二导电条间是以一压 阻层相隔， 侦测第一导电条与第二导电条间的电荷耦合来作为第一种侦 测方式， 并且以上述侦测被压触相迭区及接触点的方式来作为第二种侦 测方式。
依据本发明提出的位置侦测装置与方法中 ,可判断出每一个压触的接 触阻抗， 能被用来判断每一压触的接触面积大小或比例， 亦能被用来追 踪后续的连续压触， 提供习知技术中没有具备的额外信息。

为更进一步阐述^^明为达成预定发明目的所采取的技术手段及功效， 以下结合附图及较佳实施例，对依据本发明提出的位置侦测的装置及方 法，其具体实施方式、 结构、 步骤、 特征及其功效， 详细说明如后。
请参照图 2A所示， 本发明提供一种位置侦测的装置 20， 包括感应器 (Sensor) 21、 选择器（Selecting Device) 22、 驱动器（Driving Device) 23、 侦测器（Sens ing) 24、 控制器（Control 1 ing Device) 25、 主机（Host) 26。
再参照图 2B所示， 本发明提供一种多点位置侦测的方法。 首先， 如 步骤 210 所示， 侦测一位置侦测的装置 20 上至少一被压触相迭区 (depressed intersect ing region) , 接下来如步骤 220 所示， 依据各被 压触相迭区侦测至少一接触点（contact point)。
上述的侦测器 21 包括多数条导电条 212，这些导电条包括多数条第一、 第二导电条， 第一、 第二导电条相迭于多数个相迭区（intersect ing regions) 214， 当至少一压触物（object)压压触触时， 部份第一、 第二导 电条相接触形成相应于各压触物压触的至少一接触点， 其中相迭于被压 触相迭区的导电条为一对被压触导电条。
第一、 第二导电条在未被压触时保持不接触，在本发明的一范例中， 第一、 第二导电条间可以用多数个绝缘粒子（spacer)散布在其间， 藉以 隔开第一、 第二导电条。 此外， 本发明不限制第一、 第二导电条彼此上 下之间的位置， 可以是第一导电条在上， 亦可以是第二导电条在上。 在 本发明之一范例中， 第一、 第二导电条不同轴向排列， 以构成由多数个 相迭区排列而成的一相迭区数组（intersect ing matrix)。 例如第一导电 条以水平方向排列， 而第二导电条以垂直方向排列， 反之亦然。 换言之， 该些第一、 第二导电条分别位于不同层。
第一、 第二导电条可分别具有预定的宽度， 因此第一、 第二导电条相 迭处形成相迭区。 熟知相关技艺者可推知， 上述导电条的宽度并不需要 一致， 可以各导电条是不同的宽度， 因此相迭区的面积也可能不同， 本 发明包括但不加以限制。
此外， 熟知相关技艺者可推知， 依据压触物的不同， 第一、 第二导电 条间接触的相迭区的数量与面积亦可能不同。在本发明的一较佳范例中， 各相迭区上的接触点为单一， 亦即不论在一相迭区上压触的面积大小， 此相迭区上压触的范围视为单一接触点。 熟知相关技艺者亦可以推知， 如果相迭区较大时， 亦有可能有两个以上的接触点， 在此情况下， 可以 依据压触的先后顺序， 分辨出两个不同接触点的， 本发明对于单一相迭 区中接触点的数量包括但不限于一个以上。
控制器 25电性耦合于选择器 22、 驱动器 23、侦测器 24，用以控制选 择器 22、 驱动器 23、 侦测器 24。 选择器 22依据控制器 25命令将驱动器 23与侦测器 24操作性耦合于侦测器 21。 在本发明的一范例中，驱动器 23 与侦测器 24依据控制器 22的命令通过选择器 22操作性耦合于侦测器 21。例如，选择器 24依据控制器 22的命令选择至少一导电条的一端或两 端， 并且提供被选择的导电条的一端或两端成为耦合端， 以电性耦合于 驱动器 23与侦测器 24之一或两者。
在本发明的一范例中， 耦合端是藉由选择器 22直接电性耦合于驱动 器 23或侦测器 24。在本发明的另一范例中，耦合端是藉由选择器 22结合 一延伸电阻间接电性耦合于驱动器 23或侦测器 24。 例如，用延伸电阻电 性耦合于被选择的导电条构成一延伸导电条， 由延伸电阻电性耦合于驱 动器 23或侦测器 24， 亦即耦合端藉由延伸电阻电性耦合于驱动器 23或 侦测器 24。
在本发明的一范例中，驱动器 23提供一高电位与一低电位于两耦合端， 高电位与 /或低电位可以是依上述直接或通过一延伸电阻间接分别提供 给两耦合端， 该两耦合端可以是位于相同或不同导电条。 例如位于一第 一导电条的一第一端与一第二导电条的一第二端。
在本发明的另一范例中， 侦测器 24侦测耦合端的讯号， 所侦测的讯 号可以是电位、 电流、 电容、 电荷转移（charge transferr ing)或其它电 性讯号。 侦测器 24操作性耦合的耦合端可以是上述的第一端、 或在导电 条上相对于第一端的一第二端。 例如， 第一端为上述导电条耦合于延伸 电阻的耦合端。
据此， 控制器 25对于选择器 22、 驱动器 23、 侦测器 24的控制包括 但不限于： 直接或通过一延伸电阻间接分别提供高电位与低电位于同一 导电条的第一端与第二端； 直接或通过一延伸电阻间接分别提供高电位 与低电位于至少一第一导电条的第一端与至少一第二导电条的第一端； 侦测导电条与延伸电阻间的讯号； 在一对被压触导电条之一被提供高电 位与低电位时， 侦测该对被压触导电条的另一的一端或两端的电位； 以 及分别侦测该些第一导电条之一与该些第二导电条之一的第二端的电 位。
在本发明的一范例中，控制器 25可以是整合成为主机 26的一部份， 包括但不限于由主机的处理器、 协同处理器、 数字讯号处理器（DSP)或其 它可程序电路构成。在本发明的另一范例中，控制器 25不为主机 26的一 部份。 控制器 25依据侦测器 24侦测到的讯号判断出各压触，其中一对象可 能造成一处或多处的压触，例如手掌压触时可能会造成一处整片的压触， 亦可能造成多处独立的压触。此外，控制器 25更可以依据侦测器 24侦测 到的讯号忽视 (排除或过滤）部份的压触，例如在手写时忽视手掌的压触， 或忽视误判造成的不存在的压触。 另外， 控制器 25还提供压触的位置给 主机 26。
本发明更包括追踪各压触的后续压触，并依据各压触及后续压触判断 出至少一手势， 并且手势对应成为一命令， 其中手势可以是由控制器 25 或主机 26来判断。 当控制器 25没有整合成为主机 26的一部份时， 可以 是由控制器 25提供压触的位置， 由主机 26进行上述压触忽视及手势判 断，亦可以是由控制器 25进行压触忽视后提供压触的位置， 再由主机 26 进行手势判断。 或者是， 由控制器 25进行压触忽视及手势判断后， 提供 主机 26压触的位置或手势之一或两者。 当控制器 25整合于主机 26之中 时，压触忽视及手势可是为控制器 25处理， 亦可视为主机 26处理。
图 3是本发明的被压触相迭区的侦测方法。如步骤 310所示，分别提 供一高电位与一低电位于相迭于各相迭区的第一、 第二导电条， 并且如 步骤 320所示， 藉由判断相迭于各相迭区的第一导电条与第二导电条间 是否为通路判断出各压触相迭区。
例如，循序地提供高电位给第一导电条，在每一条第一导电条被提供 高电位的期间， 循序地提供低电位给每一条第二导电条， 如此， 便可以 逐一侦测被驱动的第一导电条上各相迭区是否被压触。
据此，在本发明的一较佳范例中，位置侦测的装置在侦测被压触相迭 区如图 4A所示， 包括一侦测单元 VI与一驱动单元 D1 , 驱动单元提供一 高电位 VH1 与一低电位 VL1 , 其中高电位 VH1 是提供给第一导电条 (XI, X2,…， X8)之一，另外低电位 VL1是提供给第二导电条 (Yl, Y2, Y8) 之一， 侦测单元 VI 侦测被提供高电位 VH1 的导电条。 上述第一导电条 (XI, X2,…， X8)与第二导电条 (Yl, Y2， . · ·, Υ8)的数量是为方便举例说明 , 本发明包括但不限于该数量。
被提供高电位 VH1的第一导电条的侦测可以是包括但不限于侦测电位、 电流或是逻辑准位，并且可以是在被提供高电位 VH1的第一导电条的一端 或两端来侦测。 例如，在本发明的一范例中，高电位 VH1可以是通过一延 伸电阻 Re提供给第一导电条第一导电条^1^2，... 8)之一， 藉由侦测 延伸电阻 Re—侧（如延伸电阻 Re与导电条之间）上的电位、 电流或是逻 辑准位来侦测出各个被压触的相迭区。
例如， 当高电位 VH1与低电位 VL1分别提供给导电条 XI、 Y1时，侦测 单元 VI便可以侦测出导电条 XI、 Y1相迭的相迭区是否被压触。 例如，当 轮到导电条 XI、 Y1相迭的相迭区被侦测时， 驱动单元 D1分别提供高电 位 VH1与低电位 VL1给导电条 XI、 Y1 , 如图 4B所示，若导电条 XI、 Y1 相迭的相迭区未被压触，电流未由导电条 XI流经导电条 Π， 因此延伸电 阻 Re的讯号不会有明显变化，侦测单元 VI可藉此判断导电条 XI、 Y1相 迭的相迭区未被压触。 同样地，当轮到导电条 X8、 Y7相迭的相迭区被侦 测时， 驱动单元 D1分别提供高电位 VH1、 低电位 VL1给导电条 X8、 Y7。 当导电条 Χ8、Υ7相迭的相迭区被压触时，电流由导电条 Χ8流向导电条 Υ7， 侦测单元 VI通过侦测延伸电阻 Re的电位改变，可侦测出导电条 X8、 Y7 相迭的相迭区被压触。熟知相关技艺者可推知，驱动单元亦可以是分别提 供低电位 VL1与高电位 VH1给第一导电条（X1，X2， ...，X8)之一与第二导电 条（Yl， Y2, ...， Y8)之一，如图 4C所示。 上述的驱动单元 D1与侦测单元 VI 包括但不限于分别整合于前述的驱动器 23与侦测器 24中，并且驱动单元 D1的与侦测单元 VI的侦测包括但不限于由前述的控制器 25控制。 控制 器 25对于选择器 22、 驱动器 23、 侦测器 24的控制包括但不限于： 间接 分别提供高电位与低电位于至少一第一导电条的第一端与至少一第二导 电条的第一端； 以及侦测导电条与延伸电阻间的讯号。
图 5是依据各被压触相迭区侦测至少一接触点的流程示意图。如步骤 510所示，分别驱动相迭于各被压触相迭区的各导电条， 被驱动的导电条 的两端分别被提供一高电位与一低电位。 又如步骤 520所示， 当相迭于 '任一被压触相迭区的一对导电条之一被驱动时， 侦测这对导电条中未被 驱动的导电条， 以侦测出各接触点位置。 对于未被驱动的导电条的侦测， 可以同时侦测未被驱动的导电条的一端或两端。
换言之，针对每一个被压触的相迭区中， 轮替地将相迭于这相迭区的 这对导电条之一驱动， 并侦测这对导电条中未被驱动的另一导电条， 以 侦测出接触点的二维坐标。 例如， 先驱动这对导电条中的第一导电条， 并侦测第二导电条，以侦测出接触点在第一导电条轴向上的位置，作为二 维坐标中的一第一一维坐标 Ρχ。 接下来， 驱动这对导电条中的第二导电 条， 并侦测第一导电条， 以侦测出接触点在第二导电条轴向上的位置， 作为二维坐标中的一第二一维坐标 Py。 驱动第一、 第二导电条的先后顺 序并不限定， 待笫一、 第二导电条都侦测后， 可得到接触点分别在第一、 第二导电条轴向上的位置， 此位置可用二维坐标（Px，Py)来表示。
在本发明的一较佳范例中， 位置侦测的装置 20对于接触点的侦测如 图 6A所示。 位置侦测装置包括多数条导电条、 一侦测单元 V2与一驱动 单元 D2。 多数条导电条为上述第一导电条（X1 , X2，...，X8)与第二导电条 (Yl, Y2, ...， Y8)。驱动单元提供一高电位 VH2与一低电位 VL2以驱动多数 条导电条之一，并且侦测单元 V2侦测与被驱动导电条相迭的导电条之一。 因此当被驱动导电条与被侦测导电条相迭于一被压触相迭区时， 侦测单 元 V2可以侦测出接触点 P在被驱动导电条轴向上的位置。
例如，当压触相迭区为导电条 X8、 Y7相迭的相迭区时，如图 6B所示， 驱动单元先提供高电位 VH2、 低电位 VL2于导电条 X8两端， 并且侦测导 电条 Y7， 以侦测接触点 Ρ位于导电条 Χ8轴向（第一导电条轴向）的位置 Ρχ。 同样地， 如图 6C所示， 驱动单元再提供高电位 VH2、 低电位 VL2于 导电条 Y7两端， 并且侦测导电条 X8， 以侦测接触点 P位于导电条 Y7轴 向（第二导电条轴向）的位置 Px。 上述的驱动单元 D2与侦测单元 V2包括 但不限于分别整合于前述的驱动器 23与侦测器 24中 , 并且驱动单元 D2 的与侦测单元 V2的侦测包括但不限于由前述的控制器 25控制。 控制器 25对于选择器 22、 驱动器 23、 侦测器 24的控制包括但不限于： 直接或 通过一延伸电阻间接分别提供高电位与低电位于同一导电条的第一端与 第二端； 以及在一对被压触导电条之一被提供高电位与低电位时， 侦测 该对被压触导电条的另一的一端或两端的电位。
在本发明之一范例中，驱动单元 D1与侦测单元 VI依序分别侦测各相 迭区， 以侦测出所有被压触相迭区，并且驱动单元 D2与侦测单元 V2依序 分别侦测各相迭区，以侦测出各相迭区的在一第一导电条轴向二维影像 与一第二导电条轴向二维影像,再依据各被压触相迭区由第一、第二导电 条轴向二维影像中判断出 触点的位置。显然地,相较于上述先挑出被 压触相迭区，再只针对被压触相迭区侦测出各接触点位置，本范例效能较 差。
在上述说明中， 侦测单元 VI的侦测可以是包括但不限于侦测电位、 电流或是逻辑准位， 而侦测单元 V2侦测的是讯号的实际值， 如电压值、 电流值， 并且每一相迭区必须进行两个维度的侦测， 因此被压触相迭区 的侦测远快于接触点的侦测。
上述第一导电条 (XI, X2,…， X8)与第二导电条（Yl, Y2,…， Y8)的数量 仅为了举例的用，并非用以限制本发明，第一导电条与第二导电条的数量 可分别依设计上的需要而改变。 因此当第一、 第二导电条分别具有 m、 n 将会有 m*n个相迭区需要侦测，第一、 第二导电条的数量越多，侦测 所有相迭区的时间就会越久。 因此,加速所有相迭区的侦测， 才能提升整 体的效能。
据此， 本发明的一范例如图 7所示。如步骤 710所示，侦测位置侦测 的装置上多数条被压触导电条。 又如步骤 720所示， 依据这些被压触导 电条判断出被压触导电条相迭上可能被压触相迭区。再如步骤 730所示， 依据可能被压触相迭区侦测位置侦测的装置上至少一被压触相迭区。 更 如步骤 740所示， 依据各被压触相迭区侦测出至少一接触点。 换言之，可以是先判断哪些第一导电条与第二导电条被压触，依据被 压触的第一、 第二导电条可判断出可能被压触相迭区。 相较于上述图 3、 图 4A至图 4C针对所有的相迭区来侦测出被压触相迭区， 本范例只需针 对可能被压触相迭区来侦测出被压触相迭区。
在本发明的一较佳范例中，位置侦测的装置对于被压触导电条的侦测 如图 8A所示。 位置侦测的装置包括多数条导电条、 一侦测单元 V3与一 驱动单元 D3。多数条导电条为上述第一导电条 (XI, X2, X8)与第二导电 条 (Yl, Y2,…， Y8)。 驱动单元 D3分别提供一高电位 VH3给这些导电条之 一，并且提供与一低电位 VL3给与被提供高电位 VH3导电条相迭的所有导 电条，以分别侦测出被压触的导电条。
例如，如图 8B所示，驱动单元 D3依序提供高电位 VH3给第一导电条 (XI, X2, ...，X8)之一，'并且提供低电位 VL3给与被提供高电位 VH3的第一 导电条相迭的所有第二导电条 1，丫2，...，丫8) , 侦测单元 V3侦测被提供 高电位 VH3的第一侦测奈。例如，第一导电条 1^2，...，或 7未被压触， 因此电流未由被侦测的第一导电条 X1，X2，...，或 X7 流向任何第二导电 条， 因此侦测单元 V3未侦测到第一导电条 XI， X2,…，或 X7被压触。 当第 一导电条 X8被提供高电位 VH3时， 电流由第一导电条 X8流向第二导电 条 Y7， 因此侦测单元 V3可以侦测出第一导电条 Χ8被压触。
同样地，驱动单元 D3依序提供高电位 VH3给第二导电条 (Yl， Υ2， ..., Υ8) 之一， 并且提 氏电位 VL3给与被提供高电位 VH3的第二导电条相迭的 所有第一导电条 (Xl， Χ2, ..., Χ8)， 侦测单元 V3藉此侦测出被压触的第二 导电奈， 如第二导电条 Υ7。
被提供高电位 VH2的导电条的侦测相似于上述被提供高电位 VH1的第 一导电条的侦测，可以是包括但不限于侦测电位、 电流或是逻辑准位，并 且可以是在被提供高电位 VH3的第一导电条的一端或两端来侦测。例如， 在本发明的一范例中，高电位 VH3可以是通过一延伸电阻 Re提供给上述 导电条之一， 藉由侦测延伸电阻 Re—侧（如延伸电阻 Re与导电条之间）上的 电位、 电流或是逻辑准位来侦测出各被压触的导电条。
因此， 通过被压触的多数条导电条 (如导电条 X8、 Y7)可判断出这些 被压触导电条相迭的至少一可能被压触相迭区。 当被可能被压触相迭区 不大于三个时， 可能被压触相迭区即为被压触相迭区。
此外， 驱动单元 D3可同时分别提供高电位 VH3给多数奈导电条， 并 且侦测单元 V3可同时分别侦测被提供高电位 VH3的部份或全部导电条， 然而被提供高电位 VH3的导电条须同时为第一导电条或同时为第二导电 条。
上述的导电条是选择性地被挑选来驱动或侦测，现有相关技艺者可推 知， 导电条的挑选可包括但不限于通过开关、 多功器、 总线等切换装置， 本发明并不加以限制。 此外，上述的高电位 VH1、 VH2、 VH3可以是相同， 亦可以不同， 同样地，上述的低电位 VL1、 VL2、 VL3可以是相同，亦可以 不同，本发明并不加以限制。再者，上述的延伸电阻可以是相同，亦可以不 同，本发明并不加以限制。
上述的驱动单元 D3与侦测单元 V3包括但不限于分别整合于前述的驱 动器 23与侦测器 24中， 并且驱动单元 D3的与侦测单元 V3的侦测包括 但不限于由前述的控制器 25控制。控制器 25对于选择器 22、驱动器 23、 侦测器 24的控制包括但不限于： 间接分别提供高电位与低电位于至少一 第一导电条的第一端与至少一第二导电条的第一端； 以及侦测导电条与 延伸电阻间的讯号。
根据上述，所有接触点经过侦测后可以呈现出如图 9的相迭区影像。 当压触物具有尖端时， 压触物的接触会使得相迭区影像呈现出相应的接 触点讯号。 当手指或接触面积较大的压触物压触时， 相迭区影像会呈现 相应的多数个接触点讯号， 如图 10A所示。
相应于相同压触物的接触点会群聚在一起，如图 10B所示， 因此可以 分析出各压触物相应的接触点。 在本发明另一范例中， 亦可以利用各接 触点产生的时间来分析出各压触物相应的接触点。
通过对相迭区影像的分析，可依据各压触物的接触点数量判断出压触 物的形态， 例如可以依据压触物相应的接触点数量的多寡判断压触物是 笔还是手指。 此外， 还可以依据压触物相应的接触点数量来模拟压触物 压触时的压力。
此外， 藉由连续不同时间的相迭区影像的差异分析，更可以追踪压触 物压触时的移动轨迹，以判断出特定的手势。 例如， 可依据一对压触物的 压触位置轨迹判断出一手势，该对压触物的压触位置轨迹包括： 相互远 离、 一压触物朝另一压触物远离、 相互靠近、 一压触物朝另一压触物靠 近、 相互旋转、 一压触物绕另一压触物旋转。
在本发明之一范例中，可依据相应于各压触物的接触点数量判断各压 触物为一笔或一手指， 亦可分别依据相应于各压触物的接触点数量或分 布范围模拟出各压触物压触的压力。 当一压触物相应的接触点为多数个 时，可依据相应于各压触物的接触点的质心位置作为该压触物的压触位 置。

本范例的相关细节已揭示前述说明中， 在此不再赘述。
相较于上述先前技术，冬发明的驱动与侦测方式不会因为在前的接触 点过多而造成在后侦测的接触点讯号变得微弱， 亦不需针对不同的侦测 区给予不同的判断标准。 此外， 本发明不仅能侦测出哪些相迭区被压触， 更可判断出接触点位于相迭区内的位置， 亦即本发明可以用较少的导电 条得到更高的分辨率。
此外， 本发明更包括书写时的手掌忽视功能， 亦即当书写模式下， 可 辨识笔尖的压触与手掌的压触， 藉以追踪笔尖的压触轨迹。 据此， 本发 明的一范例为一种位置侦测的装置， 可包括上述多数条导电条、 一第一、 第二、 第三、 第四驱动单元、一第一、 第二、 第三侦测单元，以及一第四、 第五侦测单元。 这些导电条包括多数条第一、 第二导电条， 这些第一、 第二导电条相迭于多数个相迭区， 当至少一压触物压触时， 第一、 第二 导电条相接触形成相应于各压触物的至少一接触点。 依据上述的说明， 可在至少一压触物压触时， 分别侦测出各被压触相迭区以及各压触相迭 区内的接触点。
在本发明之一范例中 ,提供一种依据接触点位置判断接触阻抗的方法 与装置， 在各接触点被侦测出后进行各接触点的接触阻抗判断。 第四驱 动单元与第四、 第五侦测单元分别如图 1 OA的提供一高电位 VH4与一低 电位 VL4的驱动单元 D4及侦测单元 V4、 V5所示。 第四驱动单元选择性 地分别提供一高电位 VH4与一低电位 VL4于各被压触相迭区， 并且侦测 单元 V4、 V5分别侦测被提供高电位 VH4与低电位 VL4导电条位于接触点 的电位。 例如当高电位 VH4被提供于被压触相迭区的第一导电条的一端 时，侦测单元 V4是侦测位于第一导电条的另一端的一第一电位 P1 ,并且 低电位 VL4被提供于被压触相迭区的第二导电条的一端时， 侦测单元 V5 是侦测位于第二导电条的另一端的一第二电位 P2。 由于在材质均匀分布 的导电条上， 阻值与位置大致呈正比， 据此， 由接触点在第一、 第二导 电条的位置可分别推测出阻值 Rl、 R2 , 才艮据高电位 VH4、 低电位 VL4、 第 一、 第二电位 Pl、 P2与阻值 Rl、 R2， 可计算出接触点触第一、 第二导电 条间的接触阻抗11。
据此， 依据本发明的一范例， 包括一接触阻抗判断程序， 此接触阻抗 判断程序可以是由前述控制器来作业， 包括但不限于判断每一个被压触 相迭区的接触阻抗， 此接触阻抗是依据被压触相迭区的一对导电条之一 与另一在该接触点的电位与该接触点的位置来判断。
上述该接触阻抗的判断包括：判断该接触点的一第一维度位置与一第 二维度位置， 并且依据第一维度位置与第二维度位置判断出一第一维度 阻抗与一第二维度阻抗;. 在该对导电条之一与另一分别被提供高电位与 低电位时侦测接触点在该对导电条上之一与另一的一第一接触电位与一 第二接触电位； 依据第一维度阻抗、 第二维度阻抗、 高电位、 低电位、 第一接触电位与第二接触电位判断出接触阻抗。
上述的驱动单元 D4与侦测单元 V4、V5包括但不限于分别整合于前述 的驱动器 23与侦测器 24中， 并且驱动单元 D4与侦测单元 V4、 V5包括 但不限于由前述的控制器 25控制。控制器 25对于选择器 22、驱动器 23、 侦测器 24的控制包括但不限于： 直接或通过一延伸电阻间接分别提供高 电位与低电位于至少一第一导电奈的第一端与至少一第二导电条的第一 端； 以及分别侦测该些第一导电条之一与该些第二导电条之一的第二端 的电位。
在本发明的另一范例中，为一种依据相迭区位置判断接触阻抗的方法 与装置， 可以是依据被压触相迭区的位置推估出阻值 Rl、 R2, 如图 11B 所示。 例如， 可以是依据被压触相迭区分别在第一、 第二导电条上距被 提供高电位与低电位之一端间的相迭区数来推估出阻值 Rl、 R2。 例如， 当被压触相迭区与被提供高电位 VH4的一端间有 m个相迭区， 则阻值 R1 为 m个单位， 亦可以是包括被压触相迭区的 m+1个单位。 同理， 当被压 触相迭区与被提供高电位 VH4的一端间有 n个相迭区，则阻值 R1为 n个 单位， 亦可以是包括被压触相迭区的 n+1个单位。 因此阻值 Rl、 R2的推 估可以是介于判断出被压触侦测区后及在接触点被侦测出前。
据此，依据本发明的一范例，为依据位置判断接触阻抗的方法与装置， 包括一接触阻抗判断程序， itb^ J^判断程序可以是由前述控制器来作 业，包括但不限于判断每一个被压触相迭区的接触阻抗，此接触阻抗是依 据被压触相迭区的一对导电条之一与另一在接触点的电位与被压触相迭 区的位置来判断。
上述该接触阻抗的判断包括:依据该被压触相迭区的位置判断出一第 一维度阻抗与一第二维度阻抗；在该对导电条之一与另一分别被提供高 电位与低电位时侦测接触点在该对导电条上之一与另一的一第一接触电 位与一第二接触电位;依据第一维度阻抗、 第二维度阻抗、 高电位、 低电 位、 第一接触电位与第二接触电位判断出接触阻抗。
依据上述描述，可得出公式 1,为 (P1-P2) I (VH4-VL4) =R/ (R1+R+R2)， 据此可推导出公式 2 , ^ R= (R1+R2) / ( ( (VH4-VL4) / (P1-P2) ) -1) , 亦即可 根据高电位 VH4、低电位 VL4、 第一、 第二电位 Pl、 P2 (如第一接触电位、 第二接触电位）与阻值 Rl、 R2 (如第一维度阻抗、 第二维度阻抗）， 可计算 出接触点在第一、 第二导电条间的接触阻抗 R。换言之，依据导被压触相 迭区的位置或接触点的位置、 被压触导电条间被提供的电位差、 第一导 电条与第二导电条在接触点上被侦测出的电位差可判断出第一导电条与 第二导电条在接触点上的接触阻抗。
此外，如图 11A及图 1 1B所示， 上述各被压触相迭区的侦测可以是依 据第四侦测单元 V4侦测的第一电位 P1或第五侦测单元 V5侦测的第二电 位 P2来判断。 例如，当第一电位 P1不为高电位 VH4时或第二电位 P2不 为低电位 VL4时，判断出被提供高、 低电位的相迭区为被压触相迭区。 又 例如，第一电位 P1与第二电位 P2间的电位差不为高电位与低电位间的电 位差时判断出被提供高、 低电位的相迭区为被压触相迭区。 熟知相关技 术者可推知，第一电位 P1是否为高电位 VH4的判断及第二电位 P2是否为 低电位 VL4的判断容许在一误差范围内。
因此，如图 11B所示，利用驱动单元 D4对各相迭区提供高电位 VH4与 低电位 VL4时，可分别判断出被压触的相迭区，及¾ ^触的相迭区中电一、 第二导电条间的接触阻抗 R。换言之，被压触相迭区的侦测可以是依据第 一电位与第二电位之一或两者来判断（如判断第一导电条与第二导电条 间是否为通路），并且在侦测被压触相迭区的同时可以判断出被压触相迭 区中第一导电条与第二导电条在接触点上的接触阻抗。
如同前述图 3至图 4C与图 7至图 8C所示，图 11A或图 11B描述的被 压触相迭区的判断方式亦可以是先判断出被压触导电条， 再依据被压触 导电条判断出可能被压触相迭区， 再由可能被压触相迭区判断出被压触 相迭区。在本发明的一范例中，高电位 VH4与低电位 VL4之一操作性耦合 于一导电条，并且高电位 VH4与低电位 VL4的另一操作性耦合于多数条导 电条，以判断出被压触导电条。
例如， 高电位 VH4依序操作性耦合每一条第一导电条，在任一条第一 导电条被操作性耦合时， 低电位 VL4 同时耦合所有第二导电条， 依据第 一导电条与第二导电条间是否为通路来判断出被压触的第一导电条。 例 如依据侦测单元 V4侦测的第一电位 P1是否相等或相近于高电位 VL4来 判断出被操作性耦合的第一导电条是否为被压触导电条。 同理， 高电位 VH4耦合所有第一导电条，低电位 VL4依序操作性耦合于每一条第二导电 条， 依据第一导电条与第二导电条间是否为通路来判断出被压触的第二 导电条。 接下来， 依据所有被压触导电条判断出可能被压触相迭区， 例 如以所有被压触的第一导电条与被压触的第二导电条相迭的相迭区作为 可能被压触相迭区。 再接下来， 依据上述被压触相迭区的判断辨别出各 被压触相迭区， 也可以同时判断出每一个被压触相迭区上的接触阻抗。 在本范例中， 可不通过延伸电阻即可判断出各被压触相迭区， 亦可判断 出各被压触相迭区的接触点与接触阻抗， 其中接触阻抗的判断可以是先 于接触点的判断。 另外在本发明的一范例中，位置侦测的装置对于被压触相迭区的侦测 如图 11C所示， 包括侦测单元 VI、 V6、 V7与一驱动单元 Dl， 驱动单元 D1提供一高电位 VH1与一低电位 VL1 , 其中高电位 VH1是提供给第一导 电条（X1，X2，...，X8)之一， 另外低电位 VL1 是提供给第二导电条 (Yl, Y2,…， Y8)之一， 侦测单元 VI侦测被提供高电位 VH1的导电条。
如先前所述，被提供高电位 VH1的第一导电条的侦测可以是包括但不 限于侦测电位、 电流或是逻辑准位。 例如， 在本发明的一范例中， 高电 位 VH1可以是通过一延伸电阻 Re提供给第一导电条 (XI, X2, ..., X8)之一， 藉由侦测延伸电阻 Re—侧（如延伸电阻 Re与导电条之间）上的电位、 电 流或是逻辑准位来侦测出各个被压触的相迭区。 其中， 高电位 VH1与低 电位 VL1分别被提供于第一导电条与第二导电条的一第一端。
通过 VI侦测出的电位 P3判断出一被压触相迭区时，可再利用侦测单 元 V6与 V7分别侦测相迭于被压触相迭区的第一导电条与第二导电条的 第二端， 其中侦测单元 VI、 V6与 V7分别侦测出一第一电位 Pl、 一第二 电位 P2与一第三电位 P3。 依据延伸电阻 Re的阻抗、 第一电位 Pl、 第二 电位 P2与第三电位 P3，可判断出被压触的相迭区中电一、第二导电条间 的接触阻抗 R。因此，由于串联电路中电流相等， (VH1-P3) /Rl= (P1-P2) /R, R= Rl (P1-P2) I (VH1-P3)。
依据图 11C所示， 利用驱动单元 Dl对各相迭区提供高电位 VH1与低 电位 VL1时， 可分别判断出被压触的相迭区， 及 触的相迭区中电一、 第二导电条间的阻值 R。
上述的驱动单元 D1与侦测单元 VI、 V6、 V7包括但不限于分别整合于前 述的驱动器 23与侦测器 24中，并且驱动单元 D4与侦测单元 V4、 V5包括 但不限于由前述的控制器 25控制。控制器 25对于选择器 22、驱动器 23、 侦测器 24的控制包括但不限于： 直接或通过一延伸电阻间接分别提供高 电位与低电位于至少一第一导电条的第一端与至少一第二导电条的第一 端； 侦测导电条与延伸电阻间的讯号； 以及分别侦测该些第一导电条之 一与该些第二导电条之一的第二端的电位。 单一对象的压触可能同时压 触到相邻的多数个相迭区， 如图 12C所示， 因此相邻的相迭区的接触点 间的距离可用来判断是否为同一对象的压触， 例如在同一轴向上两相邻 的相迭区的接触点间的距离未超过一个相迭区的宽度， 可视为相同对象 的压触。 同理， 位于对角位置两相迭区间的接触点间的距离未超过单相 迭区对角宽度， 亦可视为相同对象的压触， 本发明包括但不受限于以上 述接触点间的距离的判断是否为同对象的压触。
另夕卜， 亦可以将同对象压触的相邻相迭区处第一、第二导电条间的接 触阻抗 R视为并联的接触阻抗， 作为同对象压触的总接触阻抗。 例如， 两相邻相迭区为同对象的压触， 视为同压触下的两相邻相迭区， 该两相 邻相迭区中接触点在第一、第二导电条间的接触阻抗分别为 Ra与 Rb,则 压触的总接触阻抗为 l / (RaRb/Ra+Rb)。 据此， 更可以藉由相邻相迭区的 并联接触阻抗， 追踪一对象的压触轨迹。 例如， 以单一手指压触时， 压 触在单一相迭区与压触在多个相邻相迭区的总接触阻抗差异不大， 因此 可用来判断相邻的被压触相迭区是否为同手指的压触处。 例如， 当两手 指较接近时， 可依据两手指先前压触处的阻值来区分出彼此的压触处。
例如，相应于第一压触的一第一后续压触与第二压触的一第二后续压 触的被压触相迭区相邻时，可分别依据第一压触的总接触阻抗与第二压 触的该总接触阻抗判断出这些相邻的被压触相迭区为第一后续压触与第 二后续压触的两个不同压触，而非同一压触，并且可进一步判断出两个不 同压触。 例如，由第一后续压触与第二后续压触的移动方向及总接触阻抗 判断，亦可以依据各被压触相迭区的接触阻抗以分水岭算法判断。例如依 据各接触点的接触阻抗产生权重来进行分水岭算法，其中权重与接触阻 抗成反比。 熟知相关技艺者可推知其它在相邻相迭区判断出不同压触的 方式， 本发明包括但不限于上述方式。
在本发明的一范例中，可以是依据相邻的被压触相迭区的总接触阻抗 来判断为单压触或多压触。 另外， 在判断为两压触时， 可以是相距最远 的两接触点分别作为两压触的位置。
如图 12A所示， 当手拿笔书写时， 笔尖压触处 122的面积很小， 因此 接触点处在第一、 第二导电条间的接触阻抗 R很大， 相反地， 手掌可能 有一个或多个手掌压触处 124，且每个手掌压触处 124的面积都较大， 亦 即手掌压触处 124在第一、 第二导电条间的接触阻抗 R很小， 因此可以 明显地区隔出手掌的压触处 124。
同样地， 如图 12B所示， 若是手指压触的同时， 手掌亦压触到感应器 21， 手指压触处 126面积亦会小于各手掌压触处 124的压触面积， 因此 也可以区隔出手掌压触处 124。据此，可用不同的门坎限值依压触处第一、 第二导电条间的阻值 R大小区分出笔、 手指、 手掌的压触。
此外，接触阻抗 R的计算可以是在接触点被侦测出来之前或之后。 由 于电位值的侦测需要较长的时间， 若是接触阻抗 R的判断在接触点被侦 测出来之前， 则可以只侦测非手掌压触的接触点， 省去手掌压触的接触 点的电位侦测， 具有提升效能的优点。 此外， 可由压触处下各接触点的 质心坐标计算出压触处的坐标。
依据图 11A与图 11C相关说明，在本发明的一范例中， 是在判断每个 相迭区是否被压触的阶段，同时对被压触的相迭区进行接触阻抗的判断， 并且针对各对象压触的相迭区分别判断各对象压触的总接触阻抗。例如， 可以是以相迭区是否相邻判断是否为相同对象的压触， 将同对象压触的 相迭区的并联接触阻抗作为总接触阻抗， 并且依据同对象压触的相迭区 的接触点判断出该对象压触的位置。 此外， 还可以依据相邻相迭区的总 接触阻抗追踪同一对象的连续压触， 亦即同对象在持续移动中的总接触 阻抗相近， 在前后不同时点侦测到总接触阻抗相近且接触位置在一预设 范围内， 可被判断为同对象的连续压触， 藉由同物件连续压触中每一个 压触的总接触阻抗来追踪该对象的压触轨迹。
在本发明的另一范例中，可以依据各对象的总接触阻抗判断被忽视的 被压触相迭区或压触，各被忽视的被压触相迭区上的接触点不需被侦测。 例如， 当手掌上至少一部位压触时， 可依每一个部位压触造成的总接触 阻抗判断为手掌的压触， 并加以忽视， 因此当拿笔手写或用手指手写时， 可明显地分辨出笔或手指的压触与手掌各部位的压触， 并只侦测笔或手 指压触的位置， 亦可以藉由笔或手指的连续压触中每一个压触的总接触 阻抗， 来追踪笔或手指的压触轨迹。 在此， 本发明是以导电条是否会因 受压而接触来区分压触与碰触。
在本发明的另一范例中，如图 13所示,为具压阻层的位置侦测的装置， 可包括一第一绝缘层 131、 一第一导电条层 132、 一压阻层 133、 一第二 导电条层 134及一第二绝缘层 135。 第一、 第二导电条层 132、 134分别 包括上述第一、 第二导电条。 压阻层 133在未受到压力时为绝缘，亦即阻 值极大，并且在受压时阻值会降低， 甚至成为导体。 因此压阻层 133可取 代上述的绝缘粒子（spacer) , 在受压时一样能在第一、 第二导电条间因 压阻层 133受压处阻值降低而产生另类的接触点。
此外， 在压阻层未成为导体前为绝缘， 可进行电容式压触侦测， 在本 发明的一较佳范例中， 是采互电容式的碰触侦测， 因此在压阻层绝缘时 便可以侦测出多点碰触。 例如， 可以侦测出哪些相迭区被碰触。 另外， 在压阻层因压触成为导体时， 可进行上述的压触式的压触侦测， 因此可 侦测出有哪些相迭区被碰触及哪些相迭区被压触。 因此， 比对电容式碰 触的被碰触相迭区与压触式压触的被压触相迭区， 可应用于位置侦测的 确认， 或应用于上述的手掌忽视。 例如， 仅对同时被电容式碰触的被碰 触相迭区与被压触式压触的被压触相迭区进行接触点判断。 又例如， 当 用绝缘的笔书写时， 在压触式压触的被压触相迭区中排除同时也被电容 式碰触的被碰触相迭区后， 再进行接触点侦测。
据此，可结合两种以上不同的多点压触侦测，藉由两种以上不同的多 点压触侦测的侦测结果，忽视或排除手掌的压触位置， 以辨识出笔的压 触。 例如结合一电容式侦测与一红外线式侦测， 进行上述具手掌忽视功 能的压触侦测。 因此， 本发明包括并不受限以同一感应器 21进行两种以 上的碰触或压触侦测， 亦可用多数种感应器 21进行多数种碰触或压触侦 测， 更可以藉由不同的碰触或压触侦测结果来进行手掌忽视或排除手掌 压触的区域。 其中， 上述的多数种压触感应器可包括但不限于红外线式 (IR type)、 电容式 (Capaci t ive Type)、 压触式 (res i s t ive type)、 光 学式（Camera type or Opt ical Type)、 表面声波式（SAW type)感应器 (sensor)。
换言之，本发明提供一种利用多位置侦测方式忽视手掌的装置与方法， 包括但不限于以第一种碰触或压触的侦测方式在第二种碰触或压触的侦 测方式上定义一被忽视范围， 其中该被忽视范围可包括多数个独立的被 忽视区域。 例如， 以电容式侦测到的被碰触相迭区定义一被忽视范围， 另外再用光学式侦测（如红外线式）时将被忽视范围内侦测到的碰触视为 不存在。
在本发明的一较佳范例中，第一种侦测方式为能侦测到多碰触或多压 触的侦测方式。例如在投射式电容感应器上进行互电容式侦测，侦测出多 数个被碰触相迭区，依据被碰触相迭区定义出被忽视范围，如以每一个被 碰触相迭区向外扩大一范围作为被忽视范围。 例如， 依据每一个相迭区 中第一导电条与第二导电条间的电容变化量判断出被碰触相迭区。 亦可 以是例用上述感应器 21进行互电容式侦测， 以所有被碰触相迭区为被忽 视范围。 上述互电容式侦测是在每一奈第一轴向的导电条被提供驱动讯 号时， 由每一条第二轴向导电条侦测讯号的变化来判断出被碰触相迭区。
又例如在上述压触式感应器上进行压触侦测，再依被压触相迭区或接 触点定义出 围 ,其中被忽视范围更可以依据被压触相迭区的接触 阻抗向外扩大到包括与被压触相迭区相邻的未被压触相迭区。 例如定义 所有被压触相迭区为被忽视范围，并且判断每一个被压触相迭区的接触 阻抗，任何被压触相迭区的接触阻抗落于一范围（如小于一门坎限 时，与 接触阻抗落于该范围的被压触相迭区相邻的相迭区亦被定义为被忽视范 围。 另夕卜，本发明更包括依据被压触相迭区的接触阻抗， 由被压触相迭区 中排除笔或手指压触的被压触相迭区或由接触点中排除笔或手指压触的 接触点， 再依上述方式定义被忽«目迭区。
请参照图 4Α与图 14， 相迭区 A、 B、 C同时被压触， 当相迭区 D的第 一导电条与第二导电条被分别提供高电位 VH1与低电位 VL1时， 虽然相 迭区没有被压触， 电流会分别由相迭区 D上的第一导电条流经相迭区 A、 B、 C至相迭区 D上的第二导电条， 形成通路， 造成相迭区 D被误判为被 压触相迭区。
此外， 依据图 6A所述的接触点侦测方法， 当相迭区 D的一导电条两 端被分别提供高电位 VH2与低电位 VL2时，相迭区 A、 B、 C为等电位， 因 此接触点位置可能被误判位于相迭区 B。 据此，本发明提出一种侦测位置 误判的装置与方法， 可以是在侦测被压触相迭区接触点时， 忽视或排除 接触点位置落于被侦测相迭区外的接触点。 在本发明的一范例中， 控制 器不输出落于被侦测相迭区外的接触点的位置。熟知相关技术者可推知， 接触点位置落于被侦测的被压触相迭区的判断容许在一误差范围内 , 例 如接触点位置落于被侦测的被压触相迭区向外扩大的一范围外时才被排 除或忽视。 在本发明的一范例中， 被忽视或排除的压触可能包括多数个 接触点， 其中至少一接触点落在上述误差范围之外。 在本发明另一范例 中， 被忽视或排除的压触可能包括多数个接触点， 其中全部接触点落在 上述误差范围之外。 在本发明的一例子中， 相迭区 A与 B可能是由手掌 的压触所造成， 因此造成相迭区 D的误判， 因此上述对误判接触点或误 判被压触相迭区的忽视或排持， 亦是一种手掌忽视的应用， 即忽视手掌 的压触。
在本发明的一范例中，上述落于被侦测的被压触相迭区的接触点的判 断， 可以是在一轴向位置的判断上判断出来。 亦即在侦测上述第——维 坐标 Px时判断出来， 因此不需要再进行上述第二一维坐标 Py的侦测。
据此，在本发明的一范例中，更包括一过滤程序（Π 1 ter procedure)， 此过滤程序可以是由前述控制器来作业。 过滤程序包括判断该些压触中 被排除的压触。 任一被排除的压触至少满足下列条件之一： 该总接触阻 抗小于前述门坎限值； 以及相应于相同压触的该接触点中存在至少一接 触点的位置落在相应的该相迭区的前述误差范围之外。 另外， 过滤程序 更包括判断该些压触中每一未被排除的压触的位置， 其中每一压触的位 置是依据相应于相同压触的该被压触相迭区的该接触点的位置来判断。
在前述说明中，接触阻抗的判断可以是在侦测被压触相迭区的同时， 即先于接触点的侦测。 因此藉由上述过滤程序，可大幅度地减少接触点的 侦测。因此，在本发明的一范例中，接触阻抗的侦测是先于接触点的侦测， 并且过滤程序中，总接触阻抗小于前述门坎限值的判断是先于接触点的侦 测。 换言之， 在过滤程序中， 可以是先进行总接触阻抗是否小于前述门 坎限值的判断后， 再判断相应于相同压触的该接触点中是否存在至少一 接触点的位置落在相应的该相迭区的前述误差范围之外。
在本发明的另一范例中，在过滤程序中，可以是先判断相应于相同压 触的该接触点中是否存在至少一接触点的位置落在相应的该相迭区的前 述误差范围之夕卜，再判断总接触阻抗是否小于前述门坎限值的判断。 亦即, 先进行接触点的判断， 排除误判的压触后， 再进行排除总接触阻抗是否 小于前述门坎限值的压触， 例如手掌忽视。
请参照图 15A, 当一笔压触时， 依据上述图 6A相关说明所述侦测单 元 V2侦测到的电位 Vp， 该笔被侦测到的压触位置位于压触位置 P, 压触 位置 P与笔实际压触的位置相同。再参照图 15B, 当一手掌压触到多数个 相邻导电条时， 手掌压触范围可能形成跨多数个导电条（同层导电条）的 总接触阻抗 Rpalm,在侦测笔的压触位置 P时，总接触阻抗 Rpalm可能造 成压触位置 P产生误差。
请参照图 16A、 图 16B与上述图 6A相关说明， 本发明提出一种校正 位置侦测误差的装置与方法。 首先， 如步骤 1610所示， 提供一延伸电阻 Re来电性耦合一导电条以形成一被驱动导电条， 并且分别提供一第一高 电位 VH5与一第一低电位 VL5于该被驱动导电条之两端。 此外， 如步骤 1620所示，在被驱动导电条未被压触时侦测延伸电阻 Re与导电条间的一 未被压触电位。 另外， 如步骤 1630所示， 在被驱动导电条被压触时侦测 延伸电阻与导电条间的一被压触电位。 之后， 如步骤 1640所示， 选择一 导电条作为一被侦测导电奈， 并且如步骤 1650、 1660所示， 分别提供一 第二高电位 VH2与一第二低电位 VL2于该被侦测导电条， 经由被压触于 该被侦测导电条的一导电条侦测一侦测电位。接下来，如步骤 1670所示， 依据该未被压触电位、 该被压触电位、 该侦测电位判断一被压触相迭区 上的接触点的位置，如上述第——维坐标 Px或第二一维坐标 Py。
上述第一高电位 VH5与第一低电位 VL5分别是由一驱动单元 D5所提 供， 在本发明的一范例中， 驱动单元 D2与驱动单元 D5可以是相同的驱 动单元。 此外， 上述侦测电位可以是由前述侦测单元 V2所侦测。 再者， 上述未被压触电位与被压触电位可以是由一侦测单元 V8所侦测。
上述的驱动单元 D2、 D 5与侦测单元 V2、 V8包括但不限于分别整合 于前述的驱动器 23与侦测器 24中，并且驱动单元 D2、 D 5与侦测单元 V2、 V8包括但不限于由前述的控制器 25控制。 控制器 25对于选择器 22、 驱 动器 23、侦测器 24的控制包括但不限于： 直接或通过一延伸电阻间接分 别提供高电位与低电位于同一导电条的第一端与第二端； 直接或通过一 延伸电阻间接分别提供高电位与低电位于至少一第一导电条的第一端与 至少一第二导电条的第一端； 侦测导电条与延伸电阻间的讯号； 以及在 一对被压触导电条之一被提供高电位与低电位时， 侦测该对被压触导电 条的另一的一端或两端的电位， 其中通过延伸电阻间接提供高电位与低 电位于同一导电条的第一端与第二端时， 通过侦测导电条与延伸电阻间 的讯号， 以判断一未被压触电位与一被压触电位。
请参照图 17A与图 17B所示，在本发明的一范例中，延伸电阻与被侦 测导电条的阻抗分别为 Re与 R,第一高电位与第一低电位分别以 Vdd与接 地电位来表示， 其中接地电位预设为 0。 当只有笔压触于位置 P时， 笔压 触处与延伸电极间的阻抗为 Rc。由于笔的压触对于整体阻抗的影响不大， 整体阻抗相当于未被压触的状态，亦即侦测延伸电阻与导电条间的被压 触电位相当于未 ^触电位 Vu。当被侦测导电条存在跨导电条 (跨同层导 电条)压触（如手掌的压触）的阻抗 Rpalm时，被侦测出来的正确位置位于 位置 C， 导电条的阻抗为 Rp， 被压触电位为 Vd。 另外， 位置 P的侦测是 通过侦测单元 V2侦测到的电位 Vp来侦测。
依据上述， 可得出下列算式。
参照图 17A,

依据上述说明，相较于接触点 C，当跨导电条的压触较接近高电位时，

在本发明的一最佳模式中，是先侦测被压触导电条，再侦测被压触相 迭区， 如前述图 4A至图 4C、 图. 7至图 8C、 图 1 1A与图 11B及相关说明 所示。 此外，更包含依据前述总接触阻抗进行手掌忽视，并且在进行前述 位置误差校正后，进行位置误判的侦测，以忽视或滤除误判的压触，最后 再进行接触点的侦测， 判断各压触的接触点的质心坐标， 以作为各压触 的位置。
