That is, the capacitive touch screen detects the touch position of the conductor on the capacitive screen by the change of the electric field formed by the conductive film when the conductor is touched, thereby realizing the human-computer interaction function.
然而, 如果采用导电材料制成的细笔尖操作电容屏, 虽然笔尖也会从接触点吸 收部分电流, 但由于笔尖很细, 吸收电流对接收电极的影响很小, 难以检测, 使得电 容式触摸屏无法确定触摸位置。 为了对接收电极产生较大影响, 电容笔的笔尖除导电 特性外, 还必须很粗, 这使得笔存在书写流畅性差、 精确点击难、 更无压感特性等问 题, 也就无法达到写画的效果。 发明内容  However, if a thin tip is used to operate the capacitive screen, the tip of the pen will absorb some of the current from the contact point. However, since the tip of the pen is very thin, the absorption current has little effect on the receiving electrode and is difficult to detect, making the capacitive touch screen impossible. Determine the touch location. In order to have a large influence on the receiving electrode, the tip of the capacitive pen must be thick in addition to the conductive characteristics, which makes the pen have problems such as poor writing fluency, accurate clicking, and no pressure-sensitive characteristics, so that the writing cannot be achieved. effect.

The capacitive touch panel 200 transmits the measurement signal, and the capacitive pen 100 receives the measurement signal, and sends a high voltage signal synchronized with the measurement signal to the capacitive touch panel 200. The capacitive touch panel 200 acquires the information of the capacitive pen 100 according to the high voltage signal. The information includes the tip pressure and/or button information of the capacitive pen.
图 2为电容笔 100和电容触控面板 200的结构示意图。  2 is a schematic structural view of a capacitive pen 100 and a capacitive touch panel 200.
如图 2示, 电容触控面板 200中包括多个相互交叉配置的电极 101和 102, 图中 为了简洁, 仅示出一对相互垂直的电极。  As shown in FIG. 2, the capacitive touch panel 200 includes a plurality of electrodes 101 and 102 arranged to intersect each other. For the sake of brevity, only a pair of mutually perpendicular electrodes are shown.
电容笔 100包括接收单元 1、 发送单元 2、 屏蔽罩 3以及壳体 4, 在壳体 4内设 置有信号处理单元 5 (见图 3 )。 当电容笔 100位于电容触控面板 200的触控区域时, 接收单元 1接收发送电极(比如电极 101 )发送的测量信号, 设置在壳体 4内的信号处 理单元 5根据接收单元 1接收的信号生成与测量信号同步的高压信号, 该高压信号通 过发送单元 2发送至电容触控面板 200, 电容触控面板 200根据接收电极 (比如电极 102)接收的信号确定电容笔 100的位置。 需要说明的是, 电极 101或电极 102可以既 为发送电极又为接收电极。  The capacitive pen 100 includes a receiving unit 1, a transmitting unit 2, a shield case 3, and a housing 4, and a signal processing unit 5 (see Fig. 3) is disposed in the housing 4. When the capacitive pen 100 is located in the touch area of the capacitive touch panel 200, the receiving unit 1 receives the measurement signal sent by the transmitting electrode (such as the electrode 101), and the signal processed by the signal processing unit 5 disposed in the housing 4 according to the receiving unit 1 A high voltage signal synchronized with the measurement signal is generated, and the high voltage signal is sent to the capacitive touch panel 200 through the transmitting unit 2, and the capacitive touch panel 200 determines the position of the capacitive pen 100 according to the signal received by the receiving electrode (such as the electrode 102). It should be noted that the electrode 101 or the electrode 102 may be both a transmitting electrode and a receiving electrode.
在本实施方式中, 接收单元 1为环状导电性笔头, 发送单元 2为直径较小的导 电性笔尖, 环状导电性笔头位于导电性笔尖周围。 当电容笔 100位于电容触控面板 200 的触控区域时, 环状导电性笔头可与发送电极 101 形成耦合电容, 从而接收发送电极 101发送的测量信号。环状导电性笔头的面积足以保证和发送电极 101形成较大耦合电 容, 从而有效接收测量信号。 导电性笔头的形状也可以根据具体情形确定, 例如可为 扁平状、 锥状或半球状等。 In the present embodiment, the receiving unit 1 is a ring-shaped conductive pen tip, the transmitting unit 2 is a conductive pen tip having a small diameter, and the ring-shaped conductive pen tip is located around the conductive pen tip. When the capacitive pen 100 is located in the touch area of the capacitive touch panel 200, the annular conductive tip can form a coupling capacitance with the transmitting electrode 101 to receive the measurement signal sent by the transmitting electrode 101. The area of the annular conductive tip is sufficient to ensure a large coupling capacitance with the transmitting electrode 101, thereby effectively receiving the measurement signal. The shape of the conductive tip can also be determined according to the specific situation, for example, Flat, tapered or hemispherical.
当电容笔 100位于电容触控面板 200的触控区域时,发送单元 1与接收电极 102 形成耦合电容, 从而发送与发送电极 101 发送的测量信号同步的高压信号。 在本实施 方式中, 作为发送单元 2的笔尖的直径小于 3mm, 其顶端可以包裹较柔软的材料 (如 橡胶) 以提高书写的舒适度。  When the capacitive pen 100 is located in the touch area of the capacitive touch panel 200, the transmitting unit 1 and the receiving electrode 102 form a coupling capacitance, thereby transmitting a high voltage signal synchronized with the measurement signal sent by the transmitting electrode 101. In the present embodiment, as the tip of the transmitting unit 2 has a diameter of less than 3 mm, the tip end can be wrapped with a softer material such as rubber to improve writing comfort.
屏蔽罩 3设置在接收单元 1和发送单元 2之间, 呈环状, 用于隔离接收单元 1 和发送单元 2, 以防止接收单元 1和发送单元 2之间形成耦合电容, 使得信号形成反馈 通路引起自激振荡。 接收单元 1、 发送单元 2和屏蔽罩 3彼此之间均绝缘。  The shielding cover 3 is disposed between the receiving unit 1 and the transmitting unit 2 in a ring shape for isolating the receiving unit 1 and the transmitting unit 2 to prevent a coupling capacitance between the receiving unit 1 and the transmitting unit 2, so that the signal forms a feedback path. Causes self-oscillation. The receiving unit 1, the transmitting unit 2 and the shield 3 are insulated from each other.
壳体 4用于固定接收单元 1、 发送单元 2和屏蔽罩 3, 以及笔内电路。 壳体 4的 端部设置有开口, 以便作为发送单元 2的笔尖与电容触控面板 200接触的端部可以从 中伸出。 开口的大小与笔尖的粗细相对应。 壳体 4与手接触的部分为导体, 由于人体 本身是个较大的电容, 比电容笔 100的稳定性强, 通过使电容笔 100与人体连接, 可 以增强接收信号的稳定性。  The housing 4 is used to fix the receiving unit 1, the transmitting unit 2 and the shield 3, and the circuit inside the pen. The end of the casing 4 is provided with an opening so that the end of the tip of the transmitting unit 2 in contact with the capacitive touch panel 200 can protrude therefrom. The size of the opening corresponds to the thickness of the nib. The portion of the casing 4 that is in contact with the hand is a conductor. Since the human body itself is a large capacitance, it is more stable than the capacitive pen 100. By connecting the capacitive pen 100 to the human body, the stability of the received signal can be enhanced.
图 3为电容笔 100的电路原理图。 如图 3示, 信号处理单元 5包括信号放大单 元 50、 脉冲生成单元 51、 切换单元 52、 命令解析单元 53、 控制单元 54、 笔信息获取 单元 55、 升压单元 56。  FIG. 3 is a circuit schematic diagram of the capacitive pen 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the signal processing unit 5 includes a signal amplifying unit 50, a pulse generating unit 51, a switching unit 52, a command analyzing unit 53, a control unit 54, a pen information acquiring unit 55, and a boosting unit 56.
信号放大单元 50比如为放大器, 用于放大接收单元 1接收的信号。 如果接收的 信号足够强, 也可省略信号放大单元 50。  The signal amplifying unit 50 is, for example, an amplifier for amplifying the signal received by the receiving unit 1. The signal amplifying unit 50 can also be omitted if the received signal is sufficiently strong.
脉冲生成单元 51用于根据接收单元 1接收的信号生成与测量信号同步的脉冲信 号。 该脉冲信号一路通向切换单元 52, 另一路通向命令解析单元 53。  The pulse generating unit 51 is operative to generate a pulse signal synchronized with the measurement signal based on the signal received by the receiving unit 1. The pulse signal leads all the way to the switching unit 52, and the other path leads to the command parsing unit 53.
切换单元 52包括切换电路和反相器, 用于使脉冲生成单元 51生成的脉冲信号 在同相和反相之间切换。 当需要发送与测量信号同相的高压信号时, 则将切换开关接 通上方电路, 让脉冲信号直接通过; 当需要发送与测量信号反相的高压信号时, 则将 切换开关接通反相器, 通过反相器使脉冲信号反相。  The switching unit 52 includes a switching circuit and an inverter for switching the pulse signal generated by the pulse generating unit 51 between in-phase and in-phase. When it is necessary to send a high voltage signal in phase with the measurement signal, the switch is turned on to the upper circuit to allow the pulse signal to pass directly; when a high voltage signal inverted from the measurement signal needs to be transmitted, the switch is turned on, and the inverter is turned on. The pulse signal is inverted by an inverter.
命令解析单元 53 比如为硬件电路, 用于解析脉冲生成单元 51生成的脉冲信号 所包含的命令信息。  The command parsing unit 53 is, for example, a hardware circuit for parsing command information included in the pulse signal generated by the pulse generating unit 51.
控制单元 54根据命令解析单元 53所解析的命令控制脉冲生成单元 51、 切换单 元 52和笔信息获取单元 55中的至少一个对所述命令进行响应。  The control unit 54 responds to the command by at least one of the command control pulse generating unit 51, the switching unit 52, and the pen information acquiring unit 55 parsed by the command parsing unit 53.
笔信息获取单元 55用于获取电容笔 100的笔尖压力以及按键信息。  The pen information acquisition unit 55 is for acquiring the pen tip pressure of the capacitive pen 100 and the button information.
升压单元 56用于将输入的脉冲信号转换为高压信号, 该高压信号通过发送单元 2发送至电容触控面板 200。 The boosting unit 56 is configured to convert the input pulse signal into a high voltage signal, and the high voltage signal passes through the transmitting unit 2 is sent to the capacitive touch panel 200.
需要说明的是, 信号放大单元 50、 脉冲生成单元 51、 切换单元 52的位置可以 相互调换。 比如, 切换单元 52可以位于信号放大单元 50和脉冲生成单元 51前面; 或 者切换单元 52可以位于信号放大单元 50和脉冲生成单元 51之间。 信号放大单元 50、 脉冲生成单元 51、 切换单元 52的位置可根据实际情况的需要进行调整。  It should be noted that the positions of the signal amplifying unit 50, the pulse generating unit 51, and the switching unit 52 can be interchanged. For example, the switching unit 52 may be located in front of the signal amplifying unit 50 and the pulse generating unit 51; or the switching unit 52 may be located between the signal amplifying unit 50 and the pulse generating unit 51. The positions of the signal amplifying unit 50, the pulse generating unit 51, and the switching unit 52 can be adjusted as needed.
图 4为脉冲生成单元 51的电路原理图。 如图 4所示, 该脉冲生成电路 51 由电 阻 Rl、 R2和 R3, 电容 C1以及比较器构成。 由于输出电压在参考电压 Vref和 0之间 切换, 比较器的正相输入端的电压由电阻 R1和 R2分压决定, 在参考电压 Vref附近变 化。 而接收单元 1接收到的信号如图 4中输入端波形所示, 为围绕参考电压 Vref上下 波动的尖峰, 只要调整好电阻 R1和 R2的比例, 就可以刚好让输入尖峰超过比较器的 正相输入电压并且滤除噪声, 得到很好的方形脉冲信号。  4 is a circuit schematic diagram of the pulse generating unit 51. As shown in Fig. 4, the pulse generating circuit 51 is composed of resistors R1, R2 and R3, a capacitor C1 and a comparator. Since the output voltage is switched between the reference voltages Vref and 0, the voltage at the non-inverting input of the comparator is determined by the voltage division of resistors R1 and R2, which varies around the reference voltage Vref. The signal received by the receiving unit 1 is a peak which fluctuates around the reference voltage Vref as shown by the waveform of the input terminal in FIG. 4. As long as the ratio of the resistors R1 and R2 is adjusted, the input peak can be just exceeded the positive phase of the comparator. Input the voltage and filter out the noise to get a good square pulse signal.
需要说明的是图 4 只是本公开的脉冲生成单元的一个具体例子, 本公开并不局 限于该电路, 本领域技术人员可根据需要选择合适的脉冲生成电路, 只要其可产生符 合要求的同步脉冲信号即可。  It should be noted that FIG. 4 is only a specific example of the pulse generating unit of the present disclosure, and the disclosure is not limited to the circuit, and those skilled in the art can select a suitable pulse generating circuit as needed, as long as it can generate a matching synchronous pulse. The signal can be.
图 5为电容触控面板 200的结构示意图。 如图 5所示, 电容触控面板 200包括 第一电极组 201和第二电极 202组以及控制处理单元 203组成。 第一电极组 201和第 二电极 202组相互交叉, 共同构成触控区域, 触控区域上覆盖有绝缘层, 防止手指或 其它导体与第一电极组 201和第二电极 202组接触。第一电极组 201和第二电极组 202 之间相互绝缘, 在交叉处会形成耦合电容。  FIG. 5 is a schematic structural view of the capacitive touch panel 200. As shown in FIG. 5, the capacitive touch panel 200 includes a first electrode group 201 and a second electrode 202 group and a control processing unit 203. The first electrode group 201 and the second electrode 202 are mutually intersected to form a touch area, and the touch area is covered with an insulating layer to prevent the finger or other conductor from contacting the first electrode group 201 and the second electrode 202. The first electrode group 201 and the second electrode group 202 are insulated from each other, and a coupling capacitance is formed at the intersection.
第一电极组 201和第二电极组 202其中一组为发送电极, 另一组为接收电极。 若第一电极组 201为发送电极, 则第二电极组 202为接收电极。 若第一电极组 201为 接收电极, 则第二电极组 202为发送电极。 两者可在控制处理单元 203的控制下进行 切换。 或者, 控制处理单元 203控制第一电极组 201或第二电极组 202作为发送电极 发送包含命令信息的测量信号并作为接收电极接收电容笔 100发送的响应信号。 也就 是说, 控制处理单元 203控制第一电极组 201和第二电极组 202)之一作为发送电极发 送测量信号, 控制处理单元 203控制第一电极组 201和第二电极组 202之一作为接收 电极接收电容笔 100发送的信号。  One of the first electrode group 201 and the second electrode group 202 is a transmitting electrode, and the other group is a receiving electrode. If the first electrode group 201 is a transmitting electrode, the second electrode group 202 is a receiving electrode. If the first electrode group 201 is a receiving electrode, the second electrode group 202 is a transmitting electrode. Both can be switched under the control of the control processing unit 203. Alternatively, the control processing unit 203 controls the first electrode group 201 or the second electrode group 202 as a transmitting electrode to transmit a measurement signal containing command information and as a receiving electrode to receive a response signal transmitted from the capacitive pen 100. That is, the control processing unit 203 controls one of the first electrode group 201 and the second electrode group 202) to transmit a measurement signal as a transmission electrode, and the control processing unit 203 controls one of the first electrode group 201 and the second electrode group 202 as reception. The electrode receives the signal sent by the capacitive pen 100.
控制处理单元 203 控制发送电极发送测量信号, 处理接收电极接收到的信号, 并根据处理结果确定触摸位置。  The control processing unit 203 controls the transmitting electrode to transmit a measurement signal, processes the signal received by the receiving electrode, and determines the touch position based on the processing result.
当电容笔 100位于电容触控面板 200的触控区域时, 接收单元 1与发送电极形 成耦合电容, 发送单元 2与接收电极形成耦合电容, 因而电容笔 100可以通过接收单 元 1接收发送电极发送的测量信号, 并通过发送单元 2向接收电极发送同步信号。 When the capacitive pen 100 is located in the touch area of the capacitive touch panel 200, the receiving unit 1 and the transmitting electrode are shaped As a coupling capacitor, the transmitting unit 2 forms a coupling capacitance with the receiving electrode, so that the capacitive pen 100 can receive the measurement signal transmitted by the transmitting electrode through the receiving unit 1 and transmit the synchronization signal to the receiving electrode through the transmitting unit 2.
由于电容笔 100的发送单元 2的面积很小, 所以和电容触控面板 200的接收电 极之间的耦合电容很小。 如果不发送高压信号, 接收电极接收到的信号会很小, 信噪 比很低, 难以定位。 为此, 本公开的电容笔 100发送与测量信号同步的高压信号来增 强接收信号强度, 提高信噪比和定位精度。 具体地, 电容笔 100可从测量信号中提取 命令信息; 同时根据提取的命令信息作出响应, 并将响应结果通过发送单元 2发送至 接收电极, 控制处理单元 203根据接收电极接收的信号确定电容笔 100的触控信息, 例如触摸位置、 笔尖压力、 按键信息等。  Since the area of the transmitting unit 2 of the capacitive pen 100 is small, the coupling capacitance with the receiving electrode of the capacitive touch panel 200 is small. If the high voltage signal is not transmitted, the signal received by the receiving electrode will be small, the signal to noise ratio is low, and it is difficult to locate. To this end, the capacitive pen 100 of the present disclosure transmits a high voltage signal synchronized with the measurement signal to enhance the received signal strength, improving the signal to noise ratio and positioning accuracy. Specifically, the capacitive pen 100 can extract command information from the measurement signal; at the same time, respond according to the extracted command information, and send the response result to the receiving electrode through the transmitting unit 2, and the control processing unit 203 determines the capacitive pen according to the signal received by the receiving electrode. 100 touch information, such as touch position, tip pressure, button information, and the like.
电容笔 100还包括供电单元 (图中未示出), 供电单元为电池或超级电容, 由电 池或超级电容配合 DC-DC为电容笔供电。  The capacitive pen 100 further includes a power supply unit (not shown), and the power supply unit is a battery or a super capacitor, and the battery or the super capacitor is used to supply the capacitor pen with the DC-DC.
图 6为触控装置 300的定位原理图。 如图 6所示, 当电容笔 100位于电容触控 面板 200的触控区域时, 控制处理单元 203选择 X轴电极作为接收电极, 每 2个相邻 的 X轴电极作为一组, 测量其接收信号的差分值。 比如, 电极 和 2—组, 电极 X2 和 ¾组, 电极 ¾和 X4—组, 依此类推。 通过各组电极接收信号的差分值, 即可算出 电容笔 100位于 X轴方向的坐标。 同理, 可以将 Y轴电极作为接收电极, 测量得到电 容笔 100位于 Y轴的坐标。 FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of positioning of the touch device 300. As shown in FIG. 6, when the capacitive pen 100 is located in the touch area of the capacitive touch panel 200, the control processing unit 203 selects the X-axis electrode as the receiving electrode, and measures the reception of each of the two adjacent X-axis electrodes as a group. The differential value of the signal. For example, electrodes and 2 -groups, electrodes X 2 and 3⁄4 groups, electrodes 3⁄4 and X 4 - groups, and so on. The coordinates of the capacitive pen 100 in the X-axis direction can be calculated by receiving the difference value of the signals by the respective sets of electrodes. Similarly, the Y-axis electrode can be used as the receiving electrode, and the coordinates of the capacitive pen 100 on the Y-axis can be measured.
还可对 X轴的单个接收电极进行逐个扫描, 分别测得各个接收电极的接收信号 的强度, 通过各个接收电极接收信号的强度得到电容笔 100位于 X轴方向的坐标。 通 过同样的方式得到电容笔 100位于 Y轴的坐标。  A single receiving electrode of the X-axis can also be scanned one by one, and the intensity of the received signal of each receiving electrode is measured, and the coordinates of the capacitive pen 100 in the X-axis direction are obtained by the intensity of the received signal of each receiving electrode. The coordinates of the capacitive pen 100 on the Y-axis are obtained in the same manner.
当然, 触控装置 300 的定位方式除上述两种外还有多种, 可根据实际要求进行 具体设置。  Of course, the positioning method of the touch device 300 is different from the above two types, and can be specifically set according to actual requirements.
本公开提供的触控装置 300,为了使电容笔 100同电容触控面板 200可以协调工 作, 制定了命令信息及数据传输的协议。 命令信息由电容触控面板 200 的控制处理单 元 203控制发送电极发送, 电容笔 100通过接收单元 1接收携带有命令信息的测量信 号, 并通过信号处理单元 5解析命令信息, 并做出相应的响应, 响应信号通过发送单 元 2发送至电容触控面板 200。  In the touch device 300 provided by the present disclosure, in order to coordinate the capacitive pen 100 with the capacitive touch panel 200, a protocol for command information and data transmission is established. The command information is transmitted by the control processing unit 203 of the capacitive touch panel 200, and the capacitive pen 100 receives the measurement signal carrying the command information through the receiving unit 1, and parses the command information through the signal processing unit 5, and responds accordingly. The response signal is sent to the capacitive touch panel 200 through the transmitting unit 2.
在本实施方式中, 命令信息主要包括以下 3种:  In this embodiment, the command information mainly includes the following three types:
1、 反相信号生成命令, 其指示电容笔 100向电容触控面板 200发送与测量信号 同步且反相的信号。 2、 电容笔信息获取命令, 其指示电容笔 100测量笔尖压力及笔上按键信息, 测 量完后存储起来。 1. An inverted signal generation command instructing the capacitive pen 100 to transmit a signal synchronized with the measurement signal and inverted to the capacitive touch panel 200. 2. The capacitive pen information acquisition command indicates that the capacitive pen 100 measures the pen tip pressure and the button information on the pen, and stores it after the measurement.
3、 电容笔信息发送命令, 其指示电容笔 100将存储的笔尖压力、 按键或者其他 信息, 转化成脉冲波形反馈给电容触控面板 200。  3. The capacitive pen information sending command indicates that the capacitive pen 100 converts the stored pen tip pressure, button or other information into a pulse waveform and feeds back to the capacitive touch panel 200.
比如可以对测量信号进行调制, 以一定时长的不发送测量波的空闲状态作为命 令。 当发送电极空闲一段时间不发送测量信号, 并保持在低电平状态, 电容笔 100可 以探测到这段时间没有波形发出。 因此, 可根据这段低电平的时间长度来定义不同的 命令, 并通过电容笔 100的命令解析单元 53或控制单元 54进行识别。  For example, the measurement signal can be modulated, and the idle state of the measurement wave is not sent as a command for a certain period of time. When the transmitting electrode is idle for a period of time without transmitting the measurement signal and remains in the low state, the capacitive pen 100 can detect that no waveform is emitted during this time. Therefore, different commands can be defined according to the length of time of the low level, and are identified by the command parsing unit 53 or the control unit 54 of the capacitive pen 100.
如图 7所示, 发送电极停止发送脉冲并保持低电平 (如图 7中虚线所示), 经过 一段时间, 发送电极重新开始发送测量波。 电容笔 100探测到发送停止, 其既可以通 过命令解析单元 53根据不同时间长度解析出各种命令; 也可以用控制单元 54计时, 根据计时长短来对命令进行解析。 根据这个时间长短, 电容笔 100判断出命令类型, 然后作出相应的反应。  As shown in Figure 7, the transmitting electrode stops transmitting pulses and remains low (as indicated by the dashed line in Figure 7). After a period of time, the transmitting electrode restarts transmitting the measuring wave. The capacitive pen 100 detects the transmission stop, and can parse various commands according to different lengths of time by the command parsing unit 53. It can also be timed by the control unit 54 to parse the command according to the length of the timer. Based on the length of time, the capacitive pen 100 determines the type of command and then reacts accordingly.
图 7的波形 A表示电容笔 100接收到电容笔信息发送命令后的响应波形, 本实 施方式中所定义的数据传输协议如下: 在测量信号高脉冲期间, 若发送单元 2发送的 信号为上升沿, 则表示发送数据为 1 ; 若发送单元 2发送的信号为下降沿, 则表示发送 数据为 0。 在测量信号高脉冲期间发送单元信号只允许有一个上升或下降沿。  The waveform A of FIG. 7 represents the response waveform of the capacitive pen 100 after receiving the capacitive pen information transmission command. The data transmission protocol defined in the present embodiment is as follows: During the measurement signal high pulse, if the signal sent by the transmitting unit 2 is a rising edge , the transmission data is 1; if the signal sent by the transmission unit 2 is a falling edge, it indicates that the transmission data is 0. The transmit unit signal is only allowed to have one rising or falling edge during the measurement signal high pulse.
图 7的波形 B表示电容笔 100接收到发送反相信号波的命令后发送的反相信号 波。  The waveform B of Fig. 7 indicates the inverted signal wave transmitted after the capacitive pen 100 receives the command to transmit the inverted signal wave.
图 7的波形 C表示电容笔 100接收到电容笔信息获取命令,笔尖不用发送信号, 在此期间进行笔尖压力和按键的测量。  The waveform C of Fig. 7 indicates that the capacitive pen 100 receives the capacitive pen information acquisition command, and the pen tip does not need to transmit a signal, during which the measurement of the tip pressure and the button is performed.
需要说明的是, 图 7中 A、 B、 C各段波形所对应的命令时长是不同的, 此处为 了便于理解, 将各段波形命令终止位对齐。  It should be noted that the command durations corresponding to the waveforms of the segments A, B, and C in Fig. 7 are different. Here, for the sake of understanding, the waveform command termination bits are aligned.
还需要说明的是, 本公开中, 命令的编排方法不限于一定长度的低电平。 也可 以采用一定长度的高电平; 或者具有一定时序组合关系的高低电平; 或者具有一定时 序组合的脉冲波形; 或者连续发送的具有包络结构的脉冲波形等具有一定辨识度可解 析的波形均可作为命令。 图 8列举了命令编排的多种方式的一些实例, 例如采用一定 长度的高电平; 或者具有一定时序组合关系高低电平; 或者具有一定时序组合的脉冲 波形; 或者连续发送的具有包络结构的脉冲波形, 但不局限于已列举的编排方式。  It should also be noted that, in the present disclosure, the method of programming the commands is not limited to a low level of a certain length. It is also possible to use a high level of a certain length; or a high level and a low level with a certain timing combination relationship; or a pulse waveform having a certain timing combination; or a waveform waveform having a certain degree of recognizability, such as a pulse waveform having an envelope structure continuously transmitted; Can be used as an order. Figure 8 illustrates some examples of various ways of command programming, such as using a certain level of high level; or having a certain timing combination of high and low levels; or a pulse waveform with a certain timing combination; or an envelope structure with continuous transmission The pulse waveform, but not limited to the listed arrangement.
如图 8所示, 图 8中的波形 A表示用一定时长空闲低电平编码命令信息, 图 8 中的波形 B表示用一定时长的空闲高电平编码命令信息; 图 8中的波形 C表示用一定 时长的空闲低电平接一定时长的空闲高电平编码命令信息; 图 8中的波形 D表示用一 个中等长度的脉冲后面跟随一个较长长度的脉冲编码命令信息, 图 8中的波形 E表示 用一个单一的长脉冲编码命令信息; 图 8中的波形 F表示用连续多个很短的脉冲构成 一个一定长度的包络波形编码命令信息。 As shown in FIG. 8, the waveform A in FIG. 8 indicates that the idle low-level encoding command information is used for a certain period of time, FIG. The waveform B in the middle indicates the idle high level encoding command information for a certain period of time; the waveform C in Fig. 8 indicates the idle high level encoding command information for a certain period of time with an idle low level for a certain period of time; waveform D in Fig. 8 Indicates that a medium length pulse is followed by a longer length of pulse coded command information. Waveform E in Fig. 8 indicates that command information is encoded with a single long pulse; waveform F in Fig. 8 indicates that a plurality of consecutive bits are short. The pulses form a certain length of envelope waveform encoding command information.
图 9为命令解析单元 53的一种具体实施方式。 该实施方式主要针对一定时长不 发送测量波的空闲状态的编码方式。 利用对电容的充放电时间的长短, 配合二极管的 单向特性进行滤波, 提取出命令信号。 命令解析单元 53还可以采用其它电路结构提取 命令信号。  FIG. 9 shows a specific embodiment of the command parsing unit 53. This embodiment is mainly directed to an encoding method in which the idle state of the measurement wave is not transmitted for a certain period of time. The length of the charge and discharge time of the capacitor is matched with the unidirectional characteristic of the diode to extract the command signal. The command parsing unit 53 can also extract command signals using other circuit configurations.
在使用本公开提供的触控装置 300时, 人手很容易与电容触控面板 200接触, 从而影响电容触控面板 200对电容笔 100的定位。 为此本公开提供一种消除人手对电 容笔 100定位影响的方法。 下面结合图 10和图 11对该方法进行描述。  When the touch device 300 provided by the present disclosure is used, the human hand can easily contact the capacitive touch panel 200, thereby affecting the positioning of the capacitive touch pen 100 by the capacitive touch panel 200. To this end, the present disclosure provides a method of eliminating the influence of a human hand on the positioning of the capacitive pen 100. The method will be described below with reference to Figs. 10 and 11.
本公开中, 电容触控面板 200 的发送电极发出包含发送反相信号命令信息的测 量信号, 电容笔 100接收到该包含发送反相信号命令信息的测量信号后, 发送单元 2 (笔尖) 发送与上述测量信号同相和反相的两种高压信号, 电容触控面板 200根据该 两种高压信号获得两个接收信号强度随接收电极切换而变化的波形 (见图 10中 c曲线 左侧和中间的波形), 并将该两个波形相减即可去除人手对电容笔 100的干扰。  In the present disclosure, the transmitting electrode of the capacitive touch panel 200 sends a measurement signal including the command information for transmitting the inverted signal, and after the capacitive pen 100 receives the measurement signal including the command information for transmitting the inverted signal, the transmitting unit 2 (pen tip) transmits and The high-voltage signals of the above-mentioned measurement signals are in phase and inversion. The capacitive touch panel 200 obtains waveforms of two received signal strengths that change with the receiving electrodes according to the two high-voltage signals (see the left and middle of the c-curve in FIG. 10). Waveform), and subtracting the two waveforms can remove the interference of the human hand on the capacitive pen 100.
如图 10所示, 触控面板 200发出携带发送反相信号命令的测量信号后, 电容笔 100发送与上述测量信号同相和反相的两种高压信号。因此电容触控面板 200接收电极 的接收信号强度呈现为两个相反的波形 (见图 10中 c曲线左侧和中间的波形)。 如果 换成手指, 如图 11所示, 由于手指不会主动发送信号, 所以电容触控面板 200接收电 极的接收信号强度呈现为两个相同的波形。 将所测得的两个波形相减, 就可以很容易 地去掉手指对笔的干扰, 同时也增强了接收信号的强度, 这样有利于提高定位精度, 增强用户体验。  As shown in FIG. 10, after the touch panel 200 sends a measurement signal carrying a command to transmit an inverted signal, the capacitive pen 100 transmits two high-voltage signals that are in phase and in phase with the measurement signal. Therefore, the received signal strength of the receiving electrode of the capacitive touch panel 200 appears as two opposite waveforms (see the waveforms on the left and the middle of the c-curve in Fig. 10). If the finger is replaced, as shown in FIG. 11, since the finger does not actively send a signal, the received signal strength of the capacitive touch panel 200 receiving electrode appears as two identical waveforms. By subtracting the measured two waveforms, it is easy to remove the interference of the finger on the pen, and also enhance the strength of the received signal, which is beneficial to improve the positioning accuracy and enhance the user experience.
以上实施方式仅仅是为了说明本公开的原理而采用的示例性实施方式, 然而本 公开并不局限于此。 对于本领域内的普通技术人员而言, 在不脱离本公开的精神和实 质的情况下, 可以做出各种变型和改进。 这些变型和改进也视为本公开的保护区间。  The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments employed to explain the principles of the present disclosure, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. Various modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. These variations and modifications are also considered to be the protection intervals of the present disclosure.
