Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A touch screen of an electronic device is usually provided with two layers of channels, horizontal and vertical, for example, they may be referred to as RX channels and TX channels, respectively, for touch detection. Touch detection usually includes self-capacitance detection and mutual capacitance detection. Specifically, when performing self-capacitance detection, the touch-control chip scans the variation of the self-capacitance to ground of each horizontal channel and vertical channel. When a finger approaches or touches, the self-capacitance of the channel near the finger becomes larger. When performing mutual capacitance detection, one layer of the channel is used as the driving channel (such as the TX channel), and the other layer of the channel is used as the sensing channel (such as the RX channel). The touch chip detects the mutual capacitance between the TX channel and the RX channel. Changes.

During touch detection, if a finger approaches or touches the touch screen, the finger and its nearby horizontal channel RX will generate capacitance Cs, and the finger and its nearby vertical channel TX will generate capacitance Cd. Since the human body is a conductor and is connected to the ground, the self-capacitance and mutual capacitance of the channel touched or approached by the finger will change. The touch chip can calculate the touch position of the finger according to the detected change of the self-capacitance or mutual capacitance.

Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a traditional multi-channel touch detection system. As shown in Figure 1, in the process of self-capacitance or mutual-capacitance detection, the output signal of each RX channel can be detected to determine whether the channel is touched. Specifically, the multi-channel touch detection system may include a driving circuit (not shown in the figure) for generating a driving signal. The driving signal may also be called a coding signal, and the coding signal may be input to the touch panel TX channel in . The multi-channel touch detection system may further include a capacitance detection circuit, for example, the capacitance detection circuit may include a charge amplifier (Charge amplifier, CA) and a programmable gain amplifier (Programmable Gain Amplifier, PGA), for example, may also include a Low-pass characteristics of the analog anti-aliasing filter (Analog Antialiasing Filter, AAF) and analog-to-digital conversion circuit (Analog to Digital Conversion Circuit, ADC) and so on. Among them, the PGA circuit can be used to receive the signals transmitted from each RX channel in the touch panel, and after amplifying it, output signals CH ₁ to CH _n ; in addition, the AAF circuit can be connected to the PGA circuit for filtering out The interference signal carried in the received electrical signal; the ADC circuit can be connected with the AAF circuit to convert the analog signal into a digital signal, and the digital signal can be used for touch detection.

However, with the widespread application of organic light-emitting diode (Organic Light-Emitting Diode, OLED) screens, traditional detection solutions are becoming more and more difficult. As shown in Figure 1, due to the large capacitance (Cg1-Cgn) of the display panel of the OLED screen, the display noise (display noise) coupled to the input terminal of the RX channel by the cathode of the touch screen when the screen is bright is even larger than the signal of the Rx channel , which greatly limits the signal-to-noise ratio of the touch detection system.

To solve the problem of screen noise interference, an improved touch detection system can be used. For example, FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of any channel in an improved touch detection system. After testing, it is found that the amplitude of the display noise is related to the display refresh cycle of the screen. Therefore, the system shown in Figure 2 utilizes the time-domain characteristics of the screen noise. Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of periodic changes of different signals, wherein the synchronization (Hsync) signal in Fig. 3 represents the indication signal of the display refresh of the touch screen, and the display noise has a larger amplitude near the high level of the Hsync signal , and the display noise amplitude of the remaining time periods is small, so the Hsync signal can be used for isolation control of the RX input. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, a switch S1 is added to the RX input end, and when the Hsync signal is at a high level, S1 is disconnected to disconnect the analog front end (Active Front End, AFE) and the RX connection, So that the display noise with a large amplitude does not enter the AFE part, and when the level of the Hsync signal is pulled down, the control switch S1 remains off for a period of time, and then the switch S1 is turned on, so as to ensure that when it is connected to RX, the display The noise is small in magnitude. This improved solution can indeed optimize the signal-to-noise ratio of the touch detection system, but there are two problems in this solution. One is that the Hsync signal must be used, and the main control part of the touch screen of the electronic device needs to output the Hsync signal to the touch screen. Second, the refresh rate of touch detection is limited by the refresh rate of the screen, which cannot meet the needs of arbitrary detection refresh rates.

Therefore, an embodiment of the present application proposes a method for touch detection of multiple channels in a touch screen, which can solve the above problems based on the similarity of display noise.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic flowchart of a method 100 for touch detection of multiple channels in a touch screen according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 5 shows a multi-channel touch detection system according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that all or part of the steps included in the method 100 in this embodiment of the present application may be performed by an apparatus for touch detection of multiple channels in a touch screen. For example, the apparatus may include a processing unit, and the processing unit is configured to execute the method 100; for another example, the apparatus may include a processor, and the processor may call and run a computer program from a memory to implement the method in the embodiments of the present application 100, wherein the memory may be a separate device independent of the processor, or may be integrated in the processor.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the method can be applied to the touch detection system shown in FIG. 5 . Specifically, it can be executed by the device 200 in the system. For example, the touch detection system can include a touch chip, the The touch chip includes the device 200 . Specifically, the apparatus 200 may include a processor or a processing unit to perform the method 100 . In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 , the digital signal output by the ADC of each channel will undergo demodulation processing, and the output in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) demodulated data is input to the device 200 , to perform the method 100 .

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 4 , the method 100 may include: S110 , acquiring the display noise figure of each channel in the multiple channels, wherein the display noise figure of each channel indicates that the display noise signal of each channel is relative to the display noise signal of each channel. The reference shows the ratio of the noise signal. Specifically, taking determining the display noise coefficient of the target channel as an example, and the target channel is any one of the multiple channels, the S110 may specifically include: when the touch screen is not touched, according to multiple frames of display images, determining The display noise figure of the target channel among the multiple channels, wherein the display noise figure of the target channel represents the ratio of the display noise signal of the target channel to the reference display noise signal. Generated when the screen is on.

Specifically, the method 100 in the embodiment of the present application is mainly based on the similarity of the displayed noise. FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of a simplified model of the displayed noise coupled to the RX terminal in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 6 , in the embodiment of the present application, the The display noise is approximately considered to be common mode noise, but due to the difference in the trace resistance and coupling capacitance from the cathode to the touch screen at different positions, the amplitude and phase of the display pixels coupled to each RX terminal are different. Therefore, Figure 1 or The output signal of the system shown in Figure 5 is represented by the following equation (1):

Wherein, in the embodiment of the present application, the multiple channels are n channels as an example for description, and n is a positive integer greater than 1; CH ₁ to CH _n represent the output signals of each channel, and S ₁ to _Sn represent the output signals of each channel except for Signal components other than various noise signals, N ₁ to N _n represent the random noise of each channel, for example, N ₁ represents the random noise of the first channel, the random noise is mainly caused by the AFE itself; N _c is the source display noise amount , k ₁ to k _n are the proportional coefficients of the display noise coupled to each channel, for example, k ₁ represents the display noise figure of the first channel, or k ₁ represents the relative display noise signal of the first channel In reference to the ratio of the display noise signal, and k ₁ to k _n are vectors, k ₁ to k _n indicate that the amplitude and phase of the display noise coupled to different RX channels are different. For example, taking the display noise figure k ₁ of the first channel as an example, if the amplitude of the display noise signal of the first channel is half of the amplitude of the reference display noise signal, and the phase of the display noise signal of the first channel is the same as the reference display noise signal If the phase difference of the display noise signal is 30°, then the display noise figure k ₁ of the first channel can be expressed as 0.5*e^(j30°).

Therefore, according to this formula (1), the display noise figures k ₁ to k _n of the plurality of channels can be determined. Specifically, S110 in the method 100 may specifically include: when the touch screen is not touched and the touch screen is in an off-screen state, according to the output signal of each channel in the plurality of channels, determining the output signal of each channel in the plurality of channels. Basic output signal; when the touch screen is not touched and the touch screen is on, determine the sampling output signal of each channel corresponding to each frame of the display image in the multi-frame display image; according to the sampling output signal of each channel and the The difference between the underlying output signals for each channel determines the displayed noise figure for each channel.

It should be understood that when the touch screen is not touched and the touch screen is in the screen-off state, it can be considered that there is no display noise in the touch detection system, that is, N _c in formula (1) is equal to zero, wherein the touch screen is in the screen-off state. No image is displayed during the preset time; and, within the preset time, taking the target channel among the multiple channels as an example, the average value of the multiple output signals of the target channel is measured, and the average value can be determined as the basic output signal of the target channel , that is, the basic output signal of each channel can be obtained. For example, the basic output signals of 1 to n channels are represented as CH _1,b , CH _2,b , CH _3,b , . . . , CH _n,b respectively here.

The duration of the preset time may be set according to actual applications. For example, the preset time may be set as a relatively long time, and for the basic output signal of each signal obtained within the preset time, it may be considered that the amount of random noise is not included therein.

Therefore, when the touch screen is in the bright state and each channel is not touched, the output signal of each channel can be rewritten from the formula (1) to the following formula (2):

In order to facilitate the calculation, a second reference channel may be determined from multiple channels, and the noise figure of the second reference channel is determined to be 1, that is, the noise signal of the second reference channel is determined as the reference display noise signal, wherein the second reference channel The reference channel can be any one of multiple channels. For example, k _n =1 is used as an example for description in the embodiments of the present application. In addition, considering N _n <<N _c , the following formula (3) can be obtained according to formula (2):

N _c ≈CH _n -CH _n,b (3)

Combining formula (2) and formula (3), for the target channel in multiple channels, if the target channel is represented as the mth channel, and m can be any positive integer from 1 to n in turn, the following can be obtained. Formula (4):

CH _m -CH _{m ,b} =km *N _c = _km *(CH _n -CH _n,b ) (4)

Therefore, according to the formula (4), when the touch screen is not touched and the touch screen is in the bright screen state, the output signal of each RX channel corresponding to the multi-frame image is collected to obtain the display of each frame in the multi-frame display image. The sampling output signals CH ₁ to CH _n of the multiple channels corresponding to the image, that is, to obtain multiple sets of the output signals CH ₁ to CH _n corresponding to the multiple frames of images. For example, the multiple frames of images may be 200 frames of images in the same environment, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

Substitute the multiple channels corresponding to the obtained multi-frame images into formula (4) using the output signals CH ₁ to CH _n respectively, and use the least square method to obtain the display noise coefficient k corresponding to each channel. ₁ to k _n . Wherein, in formula (4), CH _m is the sampling output signal of the target channel corresponding to each frame of image; CH _m,b is the basic output signal of the target channel; CH _n is the sampling of the second reference channel corresponding to each frame of image Output signal; CHn _,b is the base output signal of the second reference channel, and the reference display noise signal is _CHn- CHn _,b .

In the above process, due to the large number of acquisition frames, the influence of random noise can be ignored. The process of determining the display noise figure of each channel can be carried out in the mass production test stage of the touch chip, and the test is carried out according to the actual mounted touch screen, and stored in the touch chip. Since the display noise figure of each channel is only related to the characteristics of the touch screen itself, it basically does not change with the change of the used screen and the use time, so it can be used in the subsequent noise removal process.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the method 100 includes: S120 , determining a noise signal of the first reference channel according to the output signals of the first reference channel when the touch screen is in the bright screen state and the screen off state, respectively, wherein the first reference channel is A reference channel is any one of the channels that is not touched.

Specifically, the method 100 may further include: determining a first reference channel in an untouched channel among the multiple channels, that is, the first reference channel may be any untouched channel among the multiple channels. For example, the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the selection of the 1 th channel among the multiple channels as the first reference channel as an example. According to formula (2), formula (5) satisfied by the lth channel can be obtained:

CH _l =CH _l,b +N _l +k _l *N _c (5)

According to the above formula (5), the difference between the output signal CH1 of the first reference channel when the touch screen is in the bright screen state and the basic output signals _{CH1 ,b} of the first reference channel can be determined as the first The noise signal ΔCH _l of the reference channel, that is, the noise signal ΔCH _l of the first reference channel, satisfies formula (6):

ΔCH _l =CH _l -CH _l,b =N _l +k _l *N _c (6)

As shown in FIG. 4 , the method 100 further includes: S130, determining the noise signal of the target channel according to the displayed noise figure of the target channel and the noise signal of the first reference channel; S140, removing the target channel from the original output signal of the target channel The noise signal of the target channel can be obtained to obtain the target output signal of the target channel. The target output signal of the target channel is used for touch detection of the target channel. The original output signal of the target channel is that the target channel does not remove noise when the touch screen is in the bright state. signal output signal.

It should be understood that the noise signal N _m of the target channel can be determined according to the following formula (7):

N _m =km *ΔCH _l / _{k l} (7)

Wherein, k _m is the displayed noise figure of the target channel, k _l is the displayed noise figure of the first reference channel, and ΔCH _l is the noise signal of the first reference channel. Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the target channel may be each channel in the plurality of channels, or the target channel may also be another channel in the plurality of channels except the first reference channel.

According to the determined noise signal N m of the target channel, remove the noise signal N _m of the target channel from the original output signal CH _m of the target channel, then the target output signal CH _{m ,ca} of the target channel can be obtained. The output signal CH _m,ca can be used for touch detection of the target channel.

According to the above formula (6), the following formula (8) can be obtained:

N _c '=(CH _l -CH _l,b )/k _l =N _c +N _l /k _l (8)

Combining formulas (7) and (8), if the target channel determined in the embodiment of the present application is not touched, then the target output signal CH _m,ca of the target channel can satisfy the following formula (9):

According to the formula (9), after the noise signal removal process, only random noise remains in the target output signal CH _m,ca in the embodiment of the present application, that is, the target channel noise signal N _m and the first reference channel noise signal N _l . In the embodiment of the present application, the random noise amount of each channel is the same as an example, the root mean square value is σ, and the residual noise is σ*(1+km ² / _{k l} ² ) ^1/2 . It can be seen that, in order to make The residual noise is the smallest, and the first reference channel in this embodiment of the present application can select the channel showing the largest noise figure.

For example, in 1 to n channels, if the display noise figure of each channel satisfies |k ₁ |<|k ₂ |<|k ₃ |<…<|k _n-1 |<|k _n |, and k _n =1, then the nth channel can be selected as the first reference channel, then the residual noise is σ*(1+ _km ² ) ^1/2 , which is greatly reduced compared to the display noise, which can significantly improve the The signal-to-noise ratio of the touch detection system.

Therefore, in the method for touch detection of multiple channels in a touch screen according to the embodiment of the present application, the display noise coefficient of each channel in the multiple channels relative to the reference display noise is determined by using the similarity of display noise. It can be completed in the mass production test stage, so that the multi-channel touch detection chip can flexibly adapt to different mounted screens; further, the touch detection chip can be based on the display noise figure of each channel obtained in the mass production test stage. The I/Q demodulation data performs noise removal operation to remove the display noise in the AFE output signal, thereby greatly improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the touch detection system. Compared with the traditional detection system, it solves the problem of touch under the bright screen. In addition to the problem of poor signal-to-noise ratio in detection, a synchronization signal for display refresh of the touch screen is not required, so that the data refresh rate of touch detection is not limited by the display refresh rate, and is more flexible and accurate.

It should be understood that, in the above method 100, the case where each channel is not touched is used as an example for description. For example, the first reference channel in the method 100 is an untouched channel among the multiple channels, and the above formula (9) is: A formula that is satisfied when the target channel is not touched. On the contrary, if considering the situation that the target channel may be touched, but the first reference channel still selects the untouched channel, referring to formula (9), the target output signal CH _m,ca of the target channel can satisfy the following formula (10 ):

Wherein, taking any one of the multiple channels as the target channel as an example, the m can be a positive integer from 1 to n in turn; ΔS _m represents the touch volume of the target channel m, and the touch volume in this embodiment of the present application refers to the The variation of the output signal of the channel caused by the user touching the corresponding channel. For example, if the target channel m is not touched, then ΔS _m is 0, that is, when ΔS _m = 0 in formula (10), formula (9) can be obtained. ).

For the obtained target output signal CH _m,ca of the target channel, during touch detection, the following formula (11) can be used to determine whether the target channel is touched:

where CH _m,ca -CH _m,b is a complex number, sign(real(CH _m,ca -CH _m,b )) represents the sign of the real part of the complex number; VTH1 and VTH2 are two preset thresholds, and According to practical applications, VTH1 can be set to any positive number, and VTH2 can be set to any negative number. For example, VTH1 and VTH2 can be opposite numbers to each other.

For brevity, sign(real(CH _m,ca -CH _m,b ))*|CH _m,ca -CH _m,b in Equation (11) is denoted by (CH _m,ca -CH _m,b ) hereinafter |. FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of (CH _m,ca -CH _m,b ) of n channels in the embodiment of the present application, where m=1, 2, . . . n. As shown in FIG. 7 , if the target output signal CH _m,ca of the target channel satisfies any one of the two inequalities included in the above formula (11), it can be determined that the target channel is touched. If m channels satisfy the first inequality in the above formula (11), the channel is touched; on the contrary, if the target output signal CH _m,ca of the target channel does not satisfy the above formula (11), the target channel can be determined Not touched, for example, the other channels except the mth channel in FIG. 7 do not satisfy the two formulas in the formula (11), therefore, the other channels are not touched.

It should be understood that the premise of the above-mentioned touch detection of the target channel is that the first reference channel is not touched, but on the contrary, if the first reference channel is the touched channel, it may cause a misjudgment of touch detection. For the convenience of analysis, take |k ₁ |<|k ₂ |<|k ₃ |<…<|k _n-1 |<|k _n |, k _n =1 as an example, and use the nth channel as the first reference channel. If the nth channel is used as the first reference channel in the above-mentioned noise removal process under the condition of being touched, for example, the touch amount of the nth channel is expressed as ΔS _n , then with reference to formula (5), the The nth channel satisfies the following formula (12):

CH _n =CH _n,b +ΔS _n +N _n +N _c (12)

Similarly, referring to the above formula (8), the following formula (13) can be obtained:

N _c '=CH _n -CH _n,b =ΔS _n +N _c +N _n (13)

Then, referring to formula (10), the target output signal CH _m,ca of the target channel satisfies the following formula (14):

It can be seen that an additional item is added to the target output signal CH _m,ca of the target channel, that is, the touch amount of the first reference channel is increased. At this time, if the judgment method of the above formula (11) is still used, there will be Misjudgment of touch state. FIG. 8 shows a schematic diagram of possible misjudgments in multi-channel touch detection according to an embodiment of the present application. In the case shown in FIG. 8, combined with formula (14), the two dots in the dotted circle represent the mth The channel and the nth channel, the mth channel and the nth channel are actually the touched channel, but since the touched nth channel is selected as the first reference channel, according to formula (14), the target output signal CH An additional touch amount of the first reference channel is added to _m,ca . If the calculation is still performed by formula (11), the mth channel will be misjudged as an untouched channel, and the others are not actually touched. channel, but it will be misjudged as a touch channel.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, an embodiment of the present application proposes a method for touch detection of multiple channels in a touch screen, which can solve this problem.

Specifically, FIG. 9 shows a schematic flowchart of a method 300 for touch detection of multiple channels in a touch screen according to an embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that the method 100 is similar, and all or part of the steps included in the method 300 in this embodiment of the present application may be performed by an apparatus for touch detection of multiple channels in a touch screen. For example, the apparatus may include a processing unit, and the processing unit is configured to execute the method 300; for another example, the apparatus may include a processor, and the processor may call and run a computer program from a memory to implement the method in the embodiments of the present application 300, wherein the memory may be a separate device independent of the processor, or may be integrated in the processor.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the method can be applied to the touch detection system shown in FIG. 5 . Specifically, it can be executed by the device 200 in the system. For example, the touch detection system can include a touch chip, the The touch chip includes the device 200 . Specifically, the apparatus 200 may include a processor or a processing unit to perform the method 300 . In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 , the digital signals output by the ADCs of each channel are subjected to demodulation processing, and the output I/Q demodulated data is input to the device 200 to execute the method 300 .

As shown in FIG. 9 , the method 300 includes: S310 , acquiring the display noise figure of each channel in the multiple channels. Specifically, taking at least two target channels among the plurality of channels as an example, the S310 may specifically include: when the touch screen is not touched, according to the multi-frame display images, determine the target channel of each of the at least two target channels. The noise figure is displayed, wherein the at least two target channels are any adjacent at least two channels among the plurality of channels, that is, the at least two target channels are at least two adjacent or consecutive channels in the plurality of channels in position, The display noise figure of each target channel represents the ratio of the display noise signal of each target channel to the reference display noise signal, and the display noise signal is generated when the touch screen is in a bright screen state. It should be understood that S310 may correspond to S110 in the foregoing method 100, and is applicable to the relevant descriptions in S110, and for brevity, details are not repeated here.

As shown in FIG. 9 , the method 300 further includes: S320 : Determine the noise signal of the first reference channel according to the output signals of the first reference channel when the touch screen is in the bright screen state and the screen off state, respectively, and the first reference channel The channel is the first channel of the plurality of channels. It should be understood that this S320 may correspond to S120 in the foregoing method 100, and is applicable to the relevant descriptions in S120, and for the sake of brevity, details are not repeated here. However, the difference between S320 and S120 is that the first reference channel in S320 can be any one of the plurality of channels. Here, the first reference channel is the first channel of the plurality of channels as an example, that is, The first reference channel in S320 is the first channel, the first channel may be the touched channel, or may also be the untouched channel, and the first reference channel in S120 is the untouched channel.

As shown in FIG. 9 , the method 300 further includes: S330 , determining the noise signal of each target channel according to the displayed noise figure of each target channel and the noise signal of the first reference channel. It should be understood that this S330 may correspond to S130 in the foregoing method 100, and is applicable to the relevant description in S130, and for the sake of brevity, details are not repeated here.

As shown in FIG. 9 , the method 300 further includes: S340 , remove the noise signal of each target channel from the original output signal of each target channel, so as to obtain the target output signal of each target channel, the original output signal of each target channel The output signal is the output signal when the noise signal is not removed from each target channel when the touch screen is in the bright state. It should be understood that the process of determining the target output signal of the target channel in S340 may correspond to S140 in the above-mentioned method 100, and is applicable to the relevant description in S140, which is not repeated here for brevity.

However, the difference between S340 and S140 is that since the first reference channel determined in the method 300 may be touched, the target output signal of the target channel determined in S340 may not be directly used for touch detection, but continue to execute Other steps in the method 300, such as S350 or other steps.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the method 300 further includes: S350, according to the target output signals of the at least two target channels, the basic output signals of the at least two target channels, and the display noise figures of the at least two target channels, determine the first Whether a reference channel is touched, the basic output signal of each target channel is the output signal of each target channel when the touch screen is in an off-screen state and not touched. Specifically, for the convenience of description, here we take any two adjacent channels among the at least two target channels as an example, and these two channels are respectively referred to as the first target channel and the second target channel, then if the first target channel Satisfying the following formula (15), it can be determined that the first target channel satisfies the preset condition,

Among them, CH _m,ca is the target output signal of the first target channel, that is, the output signal after noise removal based on the first reference channel; CH _m,b is the basic output signal of the first target channel; CH _m-1,ca is the target output signal of the second target channel adjacent to the first target channel, that is, the output signal of the second target channel after removing noise based on the first reference channel; CH _m-1,b is the basis of the second target channel Output signal; km is the displayed noise figure of the first target channel; km _-1 is the displayed noise figure of the second target channel; Slope_th1 and _{Slope_th2} are two preset thresholds, and these two preset thresholds can be applied according to actual applications It is set to any value, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

In addition, considering that the Slope _m calculated in the formula (15) is a complex number, in order to facilitate the calculation, the value of sign(real(Slope _m )*|Slope _m | can be further determined, correspondingly, Slope_th2<Slope in the formula (15) _m <Slope_th1 can be used to indicate whether the value of sign(real(Slope _m )*|Slope _m | belongs to the value range between the two preset thresholds Slope_th1 and Slope_th2. At this time, the two preset thresholds can be based on actual The application is set to a real number, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

It should be understood that, taking the first reference channel as the nth channel as an example for illustration, then the target output signal CH _m,ca of the determined target channel satisfies the formula (14), and substituting the above formula (15), the following formula can be obtained. (16):

Slope _m =-ΔS _n +(ΔS _m -ΔS _m-1 )/(km -k _{m -1} )+(N _m -N _m-1 )/(km -k _{m -1} )-N _n ≈ -ΔS _n +(ΔS _m -ΔS _m-1 )/(k _m -k _m-1 ) (16)

In formula (16), m can be sequentially taken as a positive integer from 1 to n, and because the random noise N is much smaller than the touch amount ΔS of each channel, where ΔS _m-1 represents the touch amount of the m-1th channel , so the random noise term can be ignored first. According to the value of Slope _m of the mth channel, it can be determined whether the channel is touched. Specifically, FIG. 10 shows a schematic diagram of whether multiple channels meet the preset conditions in the embodiment of the present application, wherein “S” on the ordinate in FIG. 10 represents the sign(real(Slope _m )*| of the mth channel The value of Slope _m |, m takes a positive integer from 2 to n in turn. As shown in Figure 10, if any one of the multiple channels satisfies the above formula (15), it can be determined that the channel is not touched, for example, Figure 10 Channel RX ₁ in 10; on the contrary, if any channel does not satisfy the above formula (15), it can be determined that the channel is touched, such as RX _m in FIG. 10 .

Touch detection can be performed by using the above formula (15) to determine whether each channel in the multiple channels is touched, and the process may not be limited by whether the first reference channel is touched. However, considering that there may be accidental interference, some channels still satisfy the above formula (15) when they are touched, or some channels do not satisfy the above formula (15) when they are not touched, so this formula ( 15) Determine whether the channel is touched, but further determine whether the selected first reference channel is touched.

Specifically, according to formula (16), when neither the mth nor the m-1th RX channel is touched, Slope _m ≈ -ΔS _n , and this characteristic can be used as a basis for judging whether the first reference channel is touched. Specifically, according to the above formula (15), it can be determined whether any one of the multiple channels satisfies the formula (15), and the channel that satisfies the formula (15) is determined as the channel that satisfies the preset condition. Among the channels other than the first reference channel, the number of channels that satisfy the preset condition. If the ratio of the number of channels that meet the preset conditions in the other channels to the total number of multiple channels is greater than or equal to the preset value, it is determined that the first reference channel is touched; on the contrary, if the channels that meet the preset conditions in the other channels are touched The ratio of the number to the total number of multiple channels is less than the preset value, and it is determined that the first reference channel is not touched.

It should be understood that, considering the actual touch application, the ratio of the touched channel to the total number of channels is relatively small, so the ratio of 1/2 or 1/3 can be used to determine whether the first reference channel is touched, that is, the preset value. It may be 1/2 or 2/3; or, the preset value may also be determined as other values according to practical applications, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

As shown in FIG. 9 , the method 300 further includes: S360, if it is determined that the first reference channel is not touched, perform touch detection on at least two target channels according to the target output signals of the at least two target channels; on the contrary, if It is determined that the first reference channel is touched, and the first reference channel is updated to a second channel among the plurality of channels, and the first channel is different from the second channel.

Specifically, in the above process, the first channel among the multiple channels is selected as the first reference channel, for example, the first channel may be the nth channel TX _n , if it is determined that the first reference channel is not touched, Then, the target output signal of the determined target channel can be subjected to touch detection. For example, touch detection can be performed according to the above formula (11), and the target output signal of the target channel has been removed from the noise signal. On the contrary, if it is determined that the first reference channel is touched, the first reference channel may be re-determined among the multiple channels, for example, the second channel among the multiple channels is determined as the new first reference channel, and the above method is used. 300 Redetermines whether the new first reference channel is touched. By analogy, until the determined first reference channel is not touched, the target output signal of the target channel determined according to the untouched first reference channel can be used for touch detection.

It should be understood that, according to the description of S320 in the above method 300 or S120 in the method 100, in order to minimize the residual noise in the target output signal of the target channel after noise removal, the first reference channel in this embodiment of the present application should be selected to display the noise figure The largest channel, that is, the displayed noise coefficient of each channel can be arranged from large to small, and the channel corresponding to the largest value can be selected as the first reference channel. For example, the displayed noise coefficient of each channel can be determined when the chip is mass-produced. At the same time, the displayed noise figure of each channel is also sorted. For example, taking |k ₁ |<|k ₂ |<|k ₃ |<…<|k _n-1 |<|k _n | as an example, you can first select the nth channel corresponding to the maximum value k _n as the first reference channel; but if it is determined that the nth channel is touched, then among the remaining channels except the nth channel, the n-1th channel corresponding to the maximum value k _n-1 is selected as the first reference channel, and the sequence analogy.

Therefore, in the method for touch detection of multiple channels in a touch screen according to the embodiment of the present application, the display noise coefficient of each channel in the multiple channels relative to the reference display noise is determined by using the similarity of display noise. It can be completed in the mass production test stage, so that the multi-channel touch detection chip can be flexibly adapted to different mounted screens; further, one channel is selected as the first reference channel among the multiple channels, and the display noise figure based on the first reference channel is displayed. , to remove noise from the output signals of other channels. When the selected first reference channel is touched, if touch detection is performed on the output signals of the other determined channels, misjudgment will occur, so the selection can be determined according to the noise-removed output signals of the other channels. Whether the first reference channel is touched, if not, touch detection can be performed based on the noise-removed output signals of other channels; but if the selected first reference channel is touched, then a new By means of a reference channel, the output signals of other channels after noise removal are re-determined until it is determined that the selected new first reference channel is not touched, and noise can be removed from the remaining channels based on the untouched first reference channel. , to perform touch detection on the output signal after noise removal. The above calculation process is relatively simple, and can avoid the misjudgment of touch detection when the selected first reference channel is touched, and greatly improves the feasibility of practical use on the premise of improving the accuracy of touch detection.
