 本发明的实施方式
为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白，以下结合附图及实施例，对本发明进行进一步详细说明。应当理解，此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明，并不用于限定本发明。
本发明基于目前广为应用的电容触控检测技术，利用现有的电容触控屏加上一颗可支持人体通讯的电容触摸屏IC即可作为主控部分，触摸屏的传感器部分同时作为发射/接收极板，从机部分采用与主控类似的IC结构系统，但硬件上的信号发射/接收极板更加简单。由此，不需要复杂的传感器与硬件设计即可完成人体通信传输。与主流人体通信不同的是，本发明使用的载波频率低于1MHz。
图1和图2为构成TP/人体通信系统的基本模型示意图。如图1所示，Mobile Phone（移动电话）作为主控设备，其TP模块在与人体接触时与人体间存在耦合电容（这也是电容TP模块能够正常工作的原因之一），TP的另一个极板与大地（GND）也存在耦合电容（TP同时通过与Mobile Phone共地，间接地增大了与GND的耦合），由于人体与地面也存在耦合电容，由此大地（GND）可以作为一个公共回路使得从设备与主设备之间完成一个电场信号回路：
“主控←→人体←→ 从设备←→ GND←→ 主控”。
人体通信正是建立在此通路的基础上完成信号的发送和接收。特殊地如图1所示，当主/从设备或其中之一位于脚底时，由于设备与地面耦合增强，通路的信噪比(S/N)有很大的提高。
图3示出了本发明提供的触摸屏终端的结构原理，其中除电极单元1之外的其他部分都可内置于现有的触摸屏IC中，部分可以复用触摸屏IC内部的功能电路。参照图3，包括电极单元1、工作模式切换单元2、主控制单元3和通信信息处理单元4。其中电极单元1用于人体通信时信号的收发，在进行人体通信时其可与人体、外部人体通信设备、地构成一人体电场信号回路；工作模式切换单元2用于设置触摸屏终端工作在触摸操作模式或人体通信模式；而主控制单元3连接工作模式切换单元2和电极单元1，用于在人体通信模式时，通过上述人体电场信号回路收发通信信息；通信信息处理单元4与主控制单元3连接，用于处理主控制单元3通过人体电场信号回路接收到的通信信息，以及将待发送的信息处理后由主控制单元3通过人体电场信号回路发送。
上述电极单元1可作为收发信号的通道，可以分为用于发射信号的发射电极和用于接收信号的接收电极，也可以使用同一个电极兼具发射和接收功能，并且可以复用触摸传感器本身的电极，也可以另行设置电极使用。因此，电极单元1可以有以下四种情形：
情形一，电极单元1包括发射电极和接收电极。触摸传感器包括布设在基板上的多个用于构成电容结构的驱动电极和感应电极，驱动电极和感应电极中的至少一个作为发射电极，驱动电极和感应电极中的至少一个作为接收电极。
情形二，电极单元1为一同时具备收发功能的多功能电极单元。触摸屏终端还包括一与多功能电极单元连接的电极工作状态切换单元，用于通过切换多功能电极单元的工作状态，使多功能电极单元作为发射电极使用或作为接收电极使用；触摸传感器包括布设在基板上的多个用于构成电容结构的驱动电极和感应电极，驱动电极和感应电极中的至少一个作为多功能电极单元。
情形三，电极单元1包括发射电极和接收电极。当工作模式切换单元设置触摸屏终端工作在人体通信模式时，控制发射电极与接收电极与主控制单元连接，当工作模式切换单元设置触摸屏终端工作在触摸操作模式时，控制发射电极与接收电极与主控制单元断开连接。
情形四，电极单元1为一同时具备收发功能的多功能电极单元。触摸屏终端还包括一与多功能电极单元连接的电极工作状态切换单元，用于通过切换多功能电极单元的工作状态，使多功能电极单元作为发射电极使用或作为接收电极使用；当工作模式切换单元设置触摸屏终端工作在人体通信模式时，控制多功能电极单元与主控制单元连接，当工作模式切换单元设置触摸屏终端工作在触摸操作模式时，控制多功能电极单元与主控制单元断开连接。
上述工作模式切换单元与电极工作状态切换单元也可以内置于主控制单元3中。
图4A和图4B主要描述两种电极结构，其中4A为独立的发射电极和接收电极，二者在信号处理前均增加的放大电路：发射电极前通过升压电路可以提高发射信号强度；接收电极后（ADC前）增加放大电路可以起到增强原始信号以利于ADC等后端电路处理。图4B即上述的情形二和情形四可以用于在电极面积有限而需要在发射和接收时分时切换的系统中，二者也可根据需要在开关前增加放大电路或升压电路。
通过以上结构，我们可以完成主/从设备通过人体进行无线通信，同时对TP（触摸）检测/数据中继处理影响较小，更好的利用IC本身的处理能力，降低了设备成本。通过使用TP驱动方式完成人体通信，避免了使用高频信号造成的能量损耗；电极结构的复用和控制使得发射/接收模块的设计更为简单，易于推广使用。
图5为典型的电容触摸屏结构，触摸屏IC被放置在FPC（Flexible Printed Circuit ，柔性线路板）或PCB（Printed Circuit Board，印刷线路板）主板上，通过排线与即触摸屏电极相连；触摸屏IC和主控制设备之间通过较少的通信线连接（如I2C总线）；如上文所述，触摸传感器可被复用为人体通信模块的电极部分，不过为提高信号强度，这里还可以另行增加一些可控的电极（在TP检测时将这些可选电极断开以避免干扰）；同时，FPC或PCB上可适当增加信号放大电路来提高发射电路电压或将接收信号输入ADC前进行放大，具体如上文所述。
图6表示从电极单元1到原始Bit流数据的获取，这部分为接收端的物理层任务。当电极上接收到调制后的信号时，该信号一般均较为微弱，需要对其进行放大处理；放大后的信号可以硬件或软件（组合）完成解调工作；针对FSK（Frequency-shift keying，频移键控），两个比较典型的解调方法有正交解调、FFT（快速傅里叶）变换。得到原始的基带信号后，根据不同的调制方法对其进行解调处理后即可得到未分帧的原始Bit流数据。
进一步地，上述触摸屏终端还包括解调单元5和调制单元6，其中解调单元5连接于主控制单元3和电极单元1之间，在主控制单元3的控制下，对电极单元1接收到的信号进行滤波放大、解调、裁决，如图7A所示。调制单元6连接于主控制单元3和电极单元1之间，在主控制单元3的控制下，对待发送的信息进行加密、数据帧处理、校验码计算，如图7B所示。
本发明提供的基于人体电场传导的通信系统如图8所示，包括一主设备和至少一个从设备，主设备和从设备以人体为媒介进行通信，并且主设备和从设备中的一个或全部为如上的触摸屏终端，上述主设备也可以替换为由多个互联的主设备构成的主设备网络系统，其中的每个主设备均可以与从设备进行人体通信，并且各个主设备之间也可进行人体通信，当主设备与主设备之间通信时，二者在逻辑原理上也相当于主设备与从设备的关系。本通信系统适用于只需要为主设备收集传感器数据等示例下的情况，在这里，主设备负责从设备的运行、控制。实际情况中可根据需要采用更复杂的拓扑结构（如网型等）。
图9为以帧为单位的示例通信格式。人体通信系统间使用异步通信方式，通过Pilot Frame（导频帧）我们可以让RX（接收端）确认TX（发送端）的存在，同时做好同步准备；在Pilot Frame结束、Sync Frame（同步帧）开始时为TX/RX同步起始信号，约定一定的延时后数据通信开始。在这里，TX每个Byte后检测确认信息，由此确定RX的接收情况。
图10示出了上述基于人体电场传导的通信系统的信息发送方法，适用于主设备和从设备，包括下述步骤：步骤A1，发送端将待发送信号进行加密后再进行数据帧处理，经过处理的数据帧包括导频帧、同步帧、数据位、校验码、帧定界符；发送端为主设备或从设备。步骤A2，将处理后的数据帧进行调制，并开始发送当前数据帧。步骤A3，若当前数据帧发送过程中检测到确认信息且数据发送完毕则结束发送过程，若检测到确认信息但数据未发送完毕，则发送下一数据帧。步骤A4，若当前数据帧发送过程中在检测到确认信息之前、且重发次数已经超过预设的最大重发次数阈值，则结束发送过程，若检测到确认信息之前、但重发次数未超过预设的最大重发次数阈值，则重新发送当前数据帧。
图11示出了基于人体电场传导的通信系统的信息接收方法，同样可适用于主设备和从设备，包括下述步骤：步骤B1，接收端若接收到导频帧，则开始与发送端同步并接收数据；接收端为主设备和从设备中的一个，发送端为另一个。步骤B2，接收端接收到当前数据帧数据信息字段时则发送确认信息信号至发送端，并在接收到当前数据帧的帧定界符时从当前数据帧中提取原始数据并校验，若校验成功则再次发送确认信息信号至发送端，结束当前帧数据的接收；若校验不成功则不发送确认信息至发送端而等待导频帧信号，若等待超时则结束当前数据帧的接收，若接收到导频帧则再次与发送端同步并重现接收数据。
本发明中，确认信息用于发送端确定TX的接收情况（确认信息中也可携带校验码用于数据校验），而校验码用于帮助RX确保接收数据与TX发送数据的一致性。适当的重发机制为通信成功和确认提供了一定的纠错能力。
图12为主/从通信的数据帧格式，其中数据帧的头部包括一设备地址信息，通过设备地址信息我们可以让主机识别不同的从机设备。
本发明基于电容触摸屏技术，不需要复杂的传感器与硬件设计即可完成人体通信传输，不需要额外的导线，只需要人体某些部分触摸或靠近信号接收/发射端即可完成通信，即人体作为通信上的通路。本发明可以复用触摸屏终端的电极结构，易于推广使用，并且作为人体通信中的主设备和从设备均可。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已，并不用以限制本发明，凡在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、等同替换和改进等，均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
