具体实施方式
图1为本申请实施例适用的一种场景示意图。参照图1,该场景中包括触控笔(stylus)100、电子设备200和无线键盘300。图1中以电子设备200为平板电脑(tablet)为例进行说明。触控笔100和无线键盘300可以向电子设备200提供输入,电子设备200基于触控笔100或无线键盘300的输入,执行响应于该输入的操作。无线键盘300上可以设置触控区域,触控笔100可以操作无线键盘300的触控区域,向无线键盘300提供输入,无线键盘300可以基于触控笔100的输入执行响应于该输入的操作。在一种实施例中,触控笔100和电子设备200之间、触控笔100和无线键盘300之间,以及电子设备200和无线键盘300之间,可以通过通信网络进行互联,以实现无线信号的交互。该通信网络可以但不限于为:WI-FI热点网络、WI-FI点对点(peer-to-peer,P2P)网络、蓝牙网络、zigbee网络或近场通信(near field communication,NFC)网络等近距离通信网络。
触控笔100可以但不限于为:电感笔和电容笔。电子设备200具有触控屏201,触控笔100为电感笔时,与触控笔100交互的电子设备200的触控屏201上需要集成电磁感应板。电磁感应板上的分布有线圈,电感笔中也集成有线圈。基于电磁感应原理,在电磁感应板所产生的磁场范围内,随着电感笔的移动,电感笔能够积蓄电能。电感笔可以将积蓄的电能通过自由震荡,经电感笔中的线圈传输至电磁感应板。电磁感应板可以基于来自电感笔的电能,对电磁感应板上的线圈进行扫描,计算出电感笔在触控屏201上的位置。电子设备200中的触控屏201也可以称为触摸屏201,触控笔201可以称为手写笔。
电容笔可以包括:无源电容笔和有源电容笔。无源电容笔可以称为被动式电容笔,有源电容笔可以称为主动式电容笔。
主动式电容笔中(例如笔尖内)可以设置一个或多个电极,主动式电容笔可以通过电极发射信号。触控笔100为主动式电容笔时,与触控笔100交互的电子设备200的触控屏201上需要集成电极阵列。在一种实施例中,电极阵列可以为电容式电极阵列。电子设备200通过电极阵列可以接收来自主动式电容笔的信号,进而在接收到该信号时,基于触控屏201上的电容值的变化识别主动式电容笔在触控屏上的位置,以及主动式电容笔的倾角。
图2A为本申请实施例提供的触控笔的结构示意图。参照图2A所示,触控笔100可以包括笔尖10、笔杆20和后盖30。笔杆20的内部为中空结构,笔尖10和后盖30分别位于笔杆20的两端,后盖30与笔杆20之间可以通过插接或者卡合方式,笔尖10与笔杆20之间的配合关系详见图2B的描述。
图2B为本申请实施例提供的触控笔的部分拆分结构示意图。参照图2B所示,触控笔100还包括主轴组件50,主轴组件50位于笔杆20内,且主轴组件50在笔杆20内可滑动设置。主轴组件50上具有外螺纹51,笔尖10包括书写端11和连接端12,其中,笔尖10的连接端12具有与外螺纹51配合的内螺纹(未示出)。
当主轴组件50装配到笔杆20内时,笔尖10的连接端12伸入笔杆20内且与主轴组件50的外螺纹51螺纹连接。在一些其他示例中,笔尖10的连接端12与主轴组件50之间还可以通过卡合等可拆卸方式实现连接。通过笔尖10的连接端12与主轴组件50之间可拆卸相连,这样实现了对笔尖10的更换。
其中,为了对笔尖10的书写端11受到的压力进行检测,参照图2A所示,笔尖10与笔杆20之间具有间隙10a,这样可以确保笔尖10的书写端11受到外力时,笔尖10可以朝向笔杆20移动,笔尖10的移动会带动主轴组件50在笔杆20内移动。而对外力的检测,参照图2B所示,在主轴组件50上设有压感组件60,压感组件60的部分与笔杆20内的固定结构固定相连,压感组件60的部分与主轴组件50固定相连。这样,主轴组件50随着笔尖10移动时,由于压感组件60的部分与笔杆20内的固定结构固定相连,所以主轴组件50的移动会驱动压感组件60形变,压感组件60的形变传递给电路板70(例如,压感组件60与电路板70之间可以通过导线或者柔性电路板实现电连接),电路板70根据压感组件60形变检测出笔尖10的书写端11的压力,从而根据笔尖10书写端11的压力控制书写端11的线条粗细。
需要说明的是,笔尖10的压力检测包括但不限于上述方法。例如,还可以通过在笔尖10的书写端11内设置压力传感器,由压力传感器检测笔尖10的压力。
本实施例中,参照图2B所示,触控笔100还包括多个电极,多个电极例如可以为第一发射电极41、接地电极43和第二发射电极42。第一发射电极41、接地电极43和第二发射电极42均与电路板70电连接。第一发射电极41可以位于笔尖10内且靠近书写端11,电路板70可以被配置为可以分别向第一发射电极41和第二发射电极42提供信号的控制板,第一发射电极41用于发射第一信号,当第一发射电极41靠近电子设备200的触控屏201时,第一发射电极41与电子设备200的触控屏201之间可以形成耦合电容,这样电子设备200可以接收到第一信号。其中,第二发射电极42用于发射第二信号,电子设备200根据接收到的第二信号可以判断触控笔100的倾斜角度。本申请实施例中,第二发射电极42可以位于笔杆20的内壁上。在一种示例中,第二发射电极42也可以位于主轴组件50上。
接地电极43可以位于第一发射电极41和第二发射电极42之间,或者,接地电极43可以位于第一发射电极41和第二发射电极42的外周围,接地电极43用于降低第一发射电极41和第二 发射电极42相互之间的耦合。
当电子设备200接收来自触控笔100的第一信号时,触控屏201对应位置处的电容值会发生变化。据此,电子设备200可以基于触控屏201上的电容值的变化,确定触控笔100(或触控笔100的笔尖)在触控屏201上的位置。另外,电子设备200可以采用倾角检测算法中的双笔尖投影方法获取触控笔100的倾斜角度。其中,第一发射电极41和第二发射电极42在触控笔100中的位置不同,因此当电子设备200接收来自触控笔100的第一信号和第二信号时,触控屏201上两个位置处的电容值会发生变化。电子设备200可以根据第一发射电极41和第二发射电极42之间的距离,以及触控屏201上电容值发生变化的两个位置处之间的距离,获取触控笔100的倾斜角度,更为详细的获取触控笔100的倾斜角度可以参照现有技术中双笔尖投影方法的相关描述。
本申请实施例中,参照图2B所示,触控笔100还包括:电池组件80,电池组件80用于向电路板70提供电源。其中,电池组件80可以包括锂离子电池,或者,电池组件80可以包括镍铬电池、碱性电池或镍氢电池等。在一种实施例中,电池组件80包括的电池可以为可充电电池或一次性电池,其中,当电池组件80包括的电池为可充电电池时,触控笔100可以通过无线充电方式对电池组件80中的电池进行充电。
其中,触控笔100为主动式电容笔时,参照图3,电子设备200和触控笔100无线连接后,电子设备200可以通过触控屏201上集成的电极阵列向触控笔100发送上行信号。触控笔100可以通过接收电极接收该上行信号,且触控笔100通过发射电极(例如第一发射电极41和第二发射电极42)发射下行信号。下行信号包括上述的第一信号和第二信号。当触控笔100的笔尖10接触触控屏201时,触控屏201对应位置处的电容值会发生变化,电子设备200可以基于触控屏201上的电容值,确定触控笔100的笔尖10在触控屏201上的位置。在一种实施例中,上行信号和下行信号可以为方波信号。
在一种实施例中,参照图4所示,无线键盘300可以包括第一部分301和第二部分302。示例性的,如无线键盘300可以包括:键盘主体和键盘套。第一部分301可以为键盘套,第二部分302为键盘主体。第一部分301用于放置电子设备200,第二部分302上可以设置有用于用户操作的按键、触控板等。
其中,无线键盘300使用时,需要将无线键盘300的第一部分301和第二部分302打开,而无线键盘300不使用时,无线键盘300的第一部分301和第二部分302能够合上。在一种实施例中,无线键盘300的第一部分301与第二部分302之间可以转动相连。例如,第一部分301与第二部分302之间可以通过转轴或者铰链相连,或者,在一些示例中,第一部分301与第二部分302之间通过柔性材料(例如皮质材料或布材料)实现转动相连。或者,在一些示例中,第一部分301与第二部分302可以一体成型,且第一部分301与第二部分302之间的连接处通过减薄处理,使得第一部分301与第二部分302之间的连接处可以弯折。其中,第一部分301和第二部分302之间的连接方式可以包括但不限于上述的几种转动连接方式。
其中,第一部分301可以包括至少两个转动相连的支架。例如,参照图4所示,第一部分301包括第一支架301a和第二支架301b,第一支架301a和第二支架301b之间转动相连,在使用时,可以采用第一支架301a和第二支架301b共同对电子设备200进行支撑(参照图1)。或者,第一支架301a对第二支架301b提供支撑,第二支架301b对电子设备200进行支撑。参照图4所示,第二支架301b与第二部分302之间转动相连。
其中,参照图4所示,为了便于对触控笔100进行收纳,无线键盘300上可以设置有收纳触控笔100的收纳部303。参照图4所示,收纳部303为筒状的腔体,收纳时,触控笔100沿着图4 中的箭头方向插入收纳腔体中。本实施例中,参照图4所示,第二部分302和第二支架301b之间通过连接部304转动连接,连接部304中设置有收纳部303。其中,连接部304可以为转轴。

其中,为了避免触控笔100放置于收纳部303中掉落,在一种实施例中,收纳部303的内壁上可以设置有磁性材料,触控笔100中可以设置磁性材料。触控笔100通过磁性材料之间的磁性吸附作用吸附在收纳部303内。当然,在一些示例中,触控笔100与收纳部303之间固定时,包括但不限于采用磁力吸附实现固定,例如,触控笔100与收纳部303之间还可以通过卡合方式实现固定。
其中,为了方便触控笔100从收纳部303中取出,收纳部303内可以设置弹出结构,例如,按压触控笔100的一端,弹出机构可以驱动触控笔100的一端从收纳部303向外弹出。

可以理解的是,根据实际需求,在触控笔100可以包括麦克风、扬声器、音频发生器、 振动器、相机、数据端口以及其它设备。用户可以通过利用这些设备提供命令来控制触控笔100和与触控笔100交互的电子设备200的操作,并且接收状态信息和其它输出。

例如,电子设备200的协调引擎230的传感器层是布置为列和行的电容感测节点网格。更具体地说,列迹线阵列被设置成垂直于行迹线阵列。传感器层可以与电子设备的其他层分开,或者传感器层可以直接设置在另一个层上,其他层诸如但不限于:显示器叠堆层、力传感器层、数字转换器层、偏光器层、电池层、结构性或装饰性外壳层等。
传感器层能够以多种模式操作。如果以互电容模式操作,则列迹线和行迹线在每个重叠 点(例如,“垂直”互电容)处形成单个电容感测节点。如果以自电容模式操作,则列迹线和行迹线在每个重叠点处形成两个(垂直对齐的)电容感测节点。在另一个实施方案中,如果以互电容模式操作,则相邻的列迹线和/或相邻的行迹线可各自形成单个电容感测节点(例如,“水平”互电容)。如上所述,传感器层可以通过监测在每个电容感测节点处呈现的电容(例如,互电容或自电容)变化来检测触控笔100的笔尖10的存在和/或用户手指的触摸。在许多情况下,协调引擎230可被配置为经由电容耦合来检测通过传感器层从触控笔100接收的尖端信号及环信号。

发送模块中包括:第一电极、第二电极和发送驱动电路。第一电极、第二电极均与发送驱动电路连接,发送驱动电路与MCU连接。MCU,用于生成第一脉冲宽度调制(pulse width modulation,PWM)信号和第二PWM信号,且向发送驱动电路发送第一PWM信号和第二PWM信号。发送驱动电路可以基于第一PWM信号,驱动第一电极发送第一信号,以及,基于第二PWM信号,驱动第二电极发送第二信号。第一电极和第二电极均可以发送信号,第一电极可以称为TX1,第二电极可以称为TX2。在一种实施例中,第一信号和第二信号可以称为下行信号或者打码信号。在一种实施例中,下行信号可以为方波信号。应理解,本申请实施例中的上行信号和下行信号是基于触控笔来说的,可以想到的是,基于电子设备来说,电子设备可以向触控笔发送下行信号,触控笔可以基于下行信号向电子设备发送上行信号。下述实施例中,以触控笔发送下行信号,以及电子设备发送上行信号为例进行说明。
参照图9,在一种实施例中,发送驱动电路中可以包括:高压驱动信号模块和开关管。MCU分别与高压驱动信号模块,以及开关管连接。开关管与第二电极连接,高压驱动信号分别与第一电极,以及第二电极连接。高压驱动信号模块,用于提供高压驱动信号,并基于来自MCU的第一PWM信号驱动第一电极发送第一信号,基于来自MCU的第二PWM信号驱动第二电极发送第二信号。
在一种实施例中,MCU,还用于控制开关管,实现第二电极在发送信号和接收信号之间的切换,即实现第二电极在TX2和RX之间的切换。本申请实施例中对开关管的具体电路,以及MCU的控制方式不做赘述。也就是说,MCU可以控制开关管,使得第二电极可以作为TX2,作为TX2的第二电极与发送驱动电路连接,进而使得第二电极可以发送第二信号。MCU也可以控制开关管,使得第二电极作为RX,作为RX的第二电极与接收模块连接,进而使得第二电极可以接收来自电子设备的上行信号。换句话说,第二电极可以在MCU的控制下,在TX2和RX之间进行切换。

在一种实施例中,当电子设备与触控笔蓝牙连接成功时,触摸处理模块可以控制触摸传感器通过电路通路发送上行信号。在一种实施例中,当电子设备与触控笔蓝牙连接成功,且电子设备检测到触控笔未充电时,触摸处理模块可以控制触摸传感器通过电路通路发送上行信号。在一种实施例中,当电子设备与触控笔蓝牙连接成功,且电子设备检测到触控笔处于 移动状态时,触摸处理模块可以控制触摸传感器通过电路通路发送上行信号。应理解,不同的电子设备发送上行信号的触发条件可以不同,下述实施例中以“当电子设备与触控笔蓝牙连接成功时,触摸处理模块控制触摸传感器通过电路通路发送上行信号”为例进行说明。

为了便于说明本申请提供的信号同步方法,先对本申请实施例涉及到的术语进行解释:
电子设备的刷新率:每秒内电子设备显示的画面的刷新次数。电子设备的刷新率也可以称为显示频率或显示帧率。电子设备的刷新率可以但不限于为:60Hz、90Hz和120HZ。示例性的,电子设备的刷新率为60Hz,表征电子设备每隔16.6ms(1000ms/60)刷新一次触摸屏显示的画面。
电子设备以60Hz的刷新率发送上行信号:表征电子设备每隔16.6ms,向触控笔发送一次上行信号。
上行信号的周期:表征电子设备发送两个上行信号之间的时长。如电子设备的刷新率为60Hz,则上行信号的周期为16.6ms。
电子设备基于刷新率采样下行信号:电子设备基于电子设备的刷新率,在一个上行信号的周期内,采样N个下行信号。示例性的,电子设备的刷新率为60Hz,电子设备基于60Hz采样下行信号表征:电子设备在向触控笔发送上行信号后的16.6ms内,采样N个来自触控笔的下行信号。N为大于或等于1的整数,N可以为预先约定的,如N为3。
触控笔基于刷新率发送下行信号:电子设备基于电子设备的刷新率,在一个上行信号的周期内,发送N个下行信号。示例性的,电子设备的刷新率为60Hz,触控笔基于60Hz发送下行信号表征:触控笔在接收到来自电子设备的上行信号后的16.6ms内,向电子设备发送N个下行信号。
电子设备和触控笔信号同步:电子设备能够采样来自触控笔的每个下行信号,基于每个下行信号能够获取一次触控笔的位置和夹角。
图12为本申请实施例提供的一种信号时序图。图12所示的为电子设备和触控笔的信号同 步的时序图。图12中示出了电子设备发送上行信号,以及采样来自触控笔的下行信号的时序,也示出了触控笔发送下行信号的时序、触控笔中TX1发送第一信号、TX2发送第二信号的时序,以及RX接收(或采样或监听)上行信号的时序。参照图12,示例性的,电子设备的刷新率为60Hz,电子设备基于60Hz采样下行信号,触控笔基于60Hz发送下行信号。电子设备与触控笔蓝牙连接后,电子设备每隔16.6ms可以向触控笔发送一个上行信号,相应的,触控笔(RX)可以每隔16.6ms接收一次来自电子设备的上行信号,图12中示例性的以电子设备与触控笔的交互过程中的任一个上行信号为例进行说明。触控笔接收来自电子设备的上行信号时,可以在16.6ms内发送N个下行信号。其中,TX1可以在16.6ms内发送N个第一信号,TX2可以在16.6ms内发送N个第二信号。相应的,电子设备在发送上行信号后,可以在16.6ms内采样N次来自触控笔的下行信号。图12中,触控笔可以基于电子设备的刷新率发送下行信号,因此电子设备在发送上行信号后,可以在16.6ms内采样N次来自触控笔的下行信号,电子设备可以基于每次采样的下行信号获取触控笔的笔尖的位置以及夹角。电子设备发送上行信号,以及采样来自触控笔的下行信号之间的时间,用于显示画面。
在一种实施例中,参照图12,触控笔和电子设备中可以存储配置文件,配置文件中包括a、b、c和N的取值。其中,a表示:触控笔接收来自电子设备的上行信号与发送第一个下行信号之间的时长。b表示:触控笔发送的相邻两个下行信号之间的时长。c表示:一个下行信号占用的时长。N表示:相邻两个上行信号之间,触控笔发送的下行信号的个数。a、b、c和N可以为预先约定的,也就是说,电子设备能够基于预先配置的a、b、c和N,确定在发送上行信号后采样下行信号的策略,如在一个上行信号的周期内,按照a、b、c,采样N次下行信号。同理的,触控笔能够基于预先配置的a、b、c和N,确定发送下行信号的策略,如在接收到来自电子设备的上行信号后,基于电子设备的刷新率,按照a、b、c,发送N个下行信号。
应理解,本申请实施例中所述的“电子设备在发送上行信号的Ams内,采样N次来自触控笔的下行信号”,可以理解为:在一个上行信号的周期Ams内,电子设备在发送上行信号后的ams后,采样第一次来自触控笔的下行信号,之后每隔bms采样一次来自触控笔的下行信号,总共采样N次下行信号,每次采样时长为cms。同理的,“触控笔在一个上行信号的周期Ams内,发送N次下行信号”,表征:触控笔在接收到来自电子设备的上行信号后的ams后,发送第一个下行信号,之后每隔bms发送一次下行信号,总共发送N次下行信号,每个下行信号占用的时长为cms。如此,电子设备可以触控笔保持信号同步。其中,当刷新率为60Hz时,A为16.6ms,当刷新率为90Hz时,A为11.1ms。应理解,当刷新率不同时,a、b、c不同,可以理解为:刷新率为60Hz时的a与刷新率为90Hz时的a不同,且刷新率为60Hz时的b与刷新率为90Hz时的b不同,且刷新率为60Hz时的c与刷新率为90Hz时的c不同。也就是说,刷新率不同,配置文件中的a、b、c不同。在一种实施例中,当刷新率不同时,a、b、c和N均可以不同。
图13为本申请实施例提供的另一种信号时序图。应理解,图13所示的为电子设备和触控笔的信号不同步的时序图。参照图13,示例性的,电子设备的刷新率为从60Hz切换成90Hz,电子设备基于90Hz采样下行信号,触控笔未能及时获取电子设备切换刷新率,触控笔还是基于60Hz发送下行信号。参照图13,电子设备每隔11.1ms发送一次上行信号。电子设备在发送上行信号后的11.1ms内,采样N次来自触控笔的下行信号。因为触控笔基于60Hz发送下行信号,触控笔接收来自电子设备的上行信号后的16.6ms内,发送N个下行信号,导致电子设备采样下行信号与触控笔发送下行信号不同步,电子设备不能采样来自触控笔的下行信号,因此电子设备无法检测触控笔的笔尖的位置和夹角,即电子设备和触控笔的信号同步失败,导致触控笔无法书写的问题。
电子设备与触控笔蓝牙连接后,电子设备可以基于不同的应用场景,切换刷新率。示例性的,电子设备可以在游戏或视频等画面流畅度需求较高的场景中采用刷新率90Hz,以满足用户对画面流畅度的需求。电子设备可以在电话等画面流畅度需求较低的场景中采用刷新率60Hz,可以降低电子设备的功耗。若电子设备在切换刷新率时,触控笔不能及时检测到电子设备切换了刷新率,则无法及时调整刷新率以与电子设备进行信号同步,出现触控笔无法书写的问题,如上述图13所示。
在一种实施例中,为了解决电子设备在切换刷新率时,触控笔不能及时检测的问题,参照图14,电子设备可以在切换至第二刷新率之前,向触控笔发送切换命令,该切换命令用于指示电子设备即将切换至第二刷新率,指示触控笔同步调整发送下行信号的频率。触控笔在接收到切换命令时,可以基于电子设备切换后的刷新率,发送下行信号。触控笔在调整发送下行信号的频率后,可以向电子设备反馈切换响应,以通知电子设备触控笔已进行调整。电子设备接收到该切换响应,可以切换至第二刷新率。该种方式中,电子设备可以在切换刷新率时通知触控笔,以使触控笔获取电子设备切换后的刷新率,但这种命令交互的方式延时长,需要多次信令交互。
本申请实施例提供一种信号同步方法,电子设备与触控笔无线连接时,触控笔可以基于电子设备支持的所有的刷新率,以电子设备支持的所有的刷新率的最小公倍数监听来自电子设备的上行信号,可以及时检测电子设备是否切换刷新率。本申请实施例中,电子设备在切换刷新率时,无需与触控笔交互信令,触控笔就能够检测到电子设备的刷新率的改变,时延低且效率高。
下面结合具体的实施例对本申请实施例提供的信号同步方法进行说明。下面这几个实施例可以相互结合,对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例不再赘述。
图15为本申请实施例提供的信号同步方法的一实施例的流程示意图。如图15所示,该信号同步方法可以包括:
S1501,触控笔获取电子设备支持的第一刷新率和第二刷新率。
第一刷新率、第二刷新率均可以表征多个刷新率。示例性的,第一刷新率可以为小于100Hz的刷新率,如60Hz、90Hz。第二刷新率可以为大于100Hz的刷新率,如120Hz、150Hz。下述以第一刷新率和第二刷新率均表征一个数值为例进行说明,如第一刷新率为60Hz,第二刷新率为90Hz。
在一种实施例中,触控笔可以在与电子设备无线连接的过程中,获取电子设备支持的第一刷新率和第二刷新率。无线连接的过程中,电子设备可以将第一刷新率和第二刷新率携带在任意一个信令中发送给触控笔。示例性的,电子设备可以基于触控笔的MAC地址,向触控笔发送连接请求,该连接请求中可以携带第一刷新率和第二刷新率。
在一种实施例中,电子设备和触控笔在无线连接后,且在电子设备向触控笔发送上行信号之前,电子设备可以向触控笔发送电子设备支持的第一刷新率和第二刷新率。示例性的,电子设备可以通过蓝牙信号向触控笔发送电子设备支持的第一刷新率和第二刷新率。图15中以子电子设备向触控笔发送电设备支持的第一刷新率和第二刷新率为例进行说明。
在一种实施例中,触控笔中可以存储有电子设备支持的第一刷新率和第二刷新率。示例性的,在触控笔的生产制造阶段,可以在触控笔中写入电子设备支持的第一刷新率和第二刷新率,或者,在触控笔和电子设备首次无线连接时,触控笔获取电子设备支持的第一刷新率 和第二刷新率,且已经存储第一刷新率和第二刷新率。
S1502,电子设备和触控笔无线连接后,电子设备基于第三刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号,第三刷新率等于第一刷新率或第二刷新率。
本申请实施例中,电子设备可以以第一刷新率或第二刷新率,向触控笔发送上行信号。电子设备可以基于第三刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号,第三刷新率可以等于第一刷新率或第二刷新率。应注意的是,第三刷新率大于或等于电子设备向触控笔发送上行信号的刷新率,以保证在上行信号的周期内,电子设备可以完成下行信号的采样。示例性的,电子设备可以以60Hz向触控笔发送上行信号,基于60Hz采样来自触控笔的下行信号。或者,电子设备可以以60Hz向触控笔发送上行信号,基于90Hz采样来自触控笔的下行信号。或者,电子设备可以以90Hz向触控笔发送上行信号,基于90Hz采样来自触控笔的下行信号。
S1503,触控笔以第四刷新率监听来自电子设备的上行信号,且基于第三刷新率发送下行信号。
第四刷新率为“第一刷新率和第二刷新率”的最小公倍数。触控笔获取第一刷新率和第二刷新率后,可以计算第一刷新率和第二刷新率的最小公倍数第四刷新率,且以第四刷新率监听来自电子设备的上行信号。示例性的,电子设备支持的刷新率分别为60Hz、90Hz,60Hz和90Hz的最小公倍数为180Hz,则第四刷新率为180Hz。本申请实施例中,为了避免因为电子设备切换刷新率,而触控笔无法及时检测的问题,触控笔可以从与电子设备无线连接后,就以第四刷新率监听电子设备的上行信号,进而可以及时获取电子设备的刷新率,以确定电子设备是否切换刷新率。
其中,触控笔可以基于监听到的相邻两个上行信号之间的时长,确定电子设备是否切换刷新率。若相邻两个上行信号之间的时长改变,则确定电子设备切换刷新率,若相邻两个上行信号之间的时长未改变,则确定电子设备未切换刷新率。示例性的,若相邻两个上行信号之间的时长由16.6ms改变成11.1ms,则触控笔可以确定电子设备的刷新率从60Hz切换至90Hz。在一种实施例中,相邻两个上行信号之间的时长可以称为上行信号的周期。
本申请实施例中,电子设备基于第三刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号,触控笔基于第三刷新率发送下行信号,电子设备可以采样到来自触控笔的下行信号,进而保持电子设备和触控笔的信号同步。
本申请实施例中,电子设备与触控笔无线连接时,触控笔可以以电子设备支持的所有的刷新率的最小公倍数监听来自电子设备的上行信号,在保证不丢失上行信号的同时,可以及时检测电子设备是否切换刷新率,相较于现有技术,触控笔无需与电子设备交互信令能够及时检测电子设备的刷新率,时延低且效率高。
在一种实施例中,第三刷新率等于第一刷新率。也就是说,电子设备可以以第一刷新率向触控笔发送上行信号,且基于第一刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号,触控笔以第四刷新率监听来自电子设备的上行信号,且基于第一刷新率发送下行信号。示例性的,第一刷新率为60Hz,第二刷新率为90Hz。电子设备采用60Hz发送上行信号,即电子设备每隔16.6ms向触控笔发送一个上行信号。本申请中,触控笔为了能够及时检测到电子设备的刷新率的变化,可以采用180Hz监听上行信号,即触控笔可以每隔5.5ms(1000ms/180)监听一次来自电子设备的上行信号。
本申请实施例中,触控笔监听上行信号的频率高于电子设备发送上行信号的频率,且触控笔监听上行信号的频率为电子设备发送上行信号的频率的倍数,因此触控笔可以监听到来 自电子设备的每个上行信号。触控笔基于60Hz发送下行信号,即触控笔可以在接收来自电子设备的上行信号的16.6ms内,发送N个下行信号。电子设备基于60Hz监听下行信号,即电子设备在发送上行信号的16.6ms内,采样N次来自触控笔的下行信号,电子设备可以接收来自触控笔的下行信号,可以保持电子设备和触控笔的信号同步。
本申请实施例中,触控笔采用第四刷新率监听来自电子设备的上行信号,即使电子设备的刷新率发生改变,触控笔仍能够监听到来自电子设备的上行信号。触控笔可以基于接收到上行信号的周期,确定电子设备的刷新率。当触控笔确定电子设备的刷新率从第一刷新率切换至第二刷新率,触控笔可以基于第二刷新率发送下行信号,进而保证触控笔和电子设备之间的信号同步,且为了保证触控笔后续和电子设备之间的信号同步,触控笔可以继续以第四刷新率监听来自电子设备的上行信号。应理解,电子设备的刷新率从第一刷新率切换至第二刷新率可以理解为:刷新率切换前,电子设备以第一刷新率发送上行信号,且基于第一刷新率采样下行信号,刷新率切换后,电子设备以第二刷新率发送上行信号,且基于第二刷新率采样下行信号。
图16为本申请实施例提供的另一种信号时序图。参照图16,触控笔采用180Hz监听来自电子设备的上行信号,在t1时刻,触控笔确定上行信号的周期从16.6ms变为11.1ms,则触控笔确定电子设备的刷新率从60Hz切换至90Hz,则在t1时刻,触控笔可以基于90Hz的刷新率发送下行信号。示例性的,如触控笔可以在接收到上行信号的11.1ms内,可以发送N个下行信号,电子设备的刷新率因为从60Hz切换至90Hz,因此电子设备可以基于90Hz,在发送上行信号后的11.1ms内,采样N次下行信号,电子设备和触控笔之间的信号同步。
在一种实施例中,第三刷新率等于第二刷新率,即电子设备以第二刷新率向触控笔发送上行信号,且基于第二刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号,触控笔以第四刷新率监听来自电子设备的上行信号,且基于第二刷新率发送下行信号。该种实施例中,当触控笔检测到电子设备的刷新率从第二刷新率切换至第一刷新率时,可以基于第一刷新率发送下行信号,可以参照上述“第三刷新率等于第一刷新率”的相关描述。
本申请实施例中,触控笔与电子设备无线连接后,触控笔可以获取电子设备支持的第一刷新率和第二刷新率,基于第一刷新率和第二刷新率的最小公倍数第四刷新率,监听来自电子设备的上行信号,触控笔可以基于上行信号的周期,检测电子设备的刷新率是否改变,若检测到电子设备的刷新率从第一刷新率切换至第二刷新率,则触控笔可以基于第二刷新率发送下行信号,进而保证与电子设备的信号同步。
在上述实施例中,触控笔可以基于上行信号的周期,即接收到的相邻两个上行信号之间的时长,判断电子设备的刷新率是否改变,在该种实施例中,触控笔在监听到后一次的上行信号时,才能确定电子设备的刷新率是否改变。参照图17,在t1时刻,触控笔确定接收到的相邻两个上行信号之间的时长从16.6ms变为11.1ms,说明在t1时刻之前的t0时刻,电子设备的刷新率已经从60Hz切换至90Hz,进而t0时刻至t1时刻之间的时长为11.1ms。但在t0时刻至t1时刻之间,触控笔仍是基于60Hz发送下行信号,而电子设备却是基于90Hz采样下行信号,因此在t0时刻至t1时刻之间,触控笔和电子设备的信号不同步,即在t0时刻至t1时刻,电子设备无法接收到来自触控笔的下行信号,导致触控笔在书写时出现笔迹断断续续的问题。
为了保持t0时刻至t1时刻,触控笔和电子设备的信号同步,在触控笔与电子设备无线连接后,触控笔可以基于电子设备支持的最大的刷新率发送下行信号,为了保证电子设备能够同步接收到来自触控笔的下行信号,电子设备可以基于电子设备支持的最大的刷新率采样来自 触控笔的下行信号,进而可以保证电子设备在切换刷新率时的t0时刻至t1时刻,触控笔和电子设备的信号仍保持同步,可以达到电子设备和触控笔的实时信号同步的目的,具体参照下述的描述。
本申请实施例中,上述S1202可以替换为:电子设备以第一刷新率或第二刷新率向触控笔发送上行信号,且基于第三刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号,第三刷新率为电子设备支持的最大的刷新率。或者,S1202可以替换为:电子设备以第一刷新率或第二刷新率向触控笔发送上行信号,且基于第三刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号,第三刷新率等于第二刷新率,第二刷新率大于第一刷新率。示例性的,如电子设备支持的刷新率为60Hz和90Hz,则电子设备支持的最大的刷新率为90Hz,即第三刷新率为90Hz。
本申请实施例中,之所以触控笔以电子设备支持的最大的刷新率发送下行信号,而不是以电子设备支持的最小的刷新率,或者电子设备支持的其他的刷新率发送下行信号,是因为触控笔基于电子设备支持的最大的刷新率,能够在最短的时间内发送完N个下行信号。若触控笔基于电子设备支持的最小的刷新率发送下行信号,则可能在下行信号还没发送完时,触控笔就接收到了来自电子设备的上行信号,造成上下行信号错乱。
示例性的,参照图18,电子设备以90Hz的刷新率发送上行信号,基于60Hz的刷新率监听来自触控笔的下行信号,且触控笔以180Hz的刷新率监听上行信号,基于60Hz的刷新率发送下行信号。电子设备每隔11.1ms发送一次上行信号,且在发送上行信号的16.6ms内,采样N次下行信号,触控笔可以在接收到上行信号后的16.6ms内,发送N次下行信号。虽然电子设备可以接收到来自触控笔的下行信号,保持与触控笔的信号的同步,但是电子设备在发送下一次上行信号时,触控笔的下行信号还未发送完毕,造成电子设备发送上行信号和采样下行信号的时间重叠,造成电子设备的收发机制出错,影响电子设备和触控笔的交互。
参照图19A,若触控笔基于电子设备支持的最大的刷新率发送下行信号,假设电子设备支持的最大的刷新率为120Hz(电子设备还支持60Hz和90Hz)。即,电子设备以90Hz的刷新率发送上行信号,基于120Hz的刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号,且触控笔以360Hz(60Hz、90Hz和120Hz的最小公倍数)的刷新率监听上行信号,基于120Hz的刷新率发送下行信号。触控笔可以在接收到上行信号后的8.3ms(1000ms/120)内完成发送N次下行信号。相应地,电子设备可以在发送上行信号后的8.3ms内,采样N次下行信号,因此可以与触控笔保持信号同步,且下行信号的交互可以在8.3ms内完成(小于11.1ms),不影响电子设备的上行信号的发送。
参照图19B,触控笔与电子设备无线连接后,触控笔可以基于电子设备支持的最大刷新率120Hz发送下行信号,以360Hz监听上行信号,电子设备可以基于电子设备支持的最大刷新率120Hz采样下行信号,电子设备发送上行信号的刷新率可以从60Hz切换至90Hz。本申请实施例中,触控笔可以以360Hz监听上行信号,可以在电子设备的刷新率变化时,监听到每个上行信号。触控笔基于120Hz发送下行信号,因此无论电子设备是60Hz还是90Hz,触控笔均能够在8.3ms内发送N次下行信号,电子设备基于120Hz采样下行信号,因此触控笔可以保持与电子设备的信号同步。其中,在t0时刻至t1时刻,触控笔可以在8.3ms内发送N次下行信号,电子设备可以在8.3ms内采样N次下行信号,因此触控笔可以保持与电子设备的信号同步,达到触控笔和电子设备的信号实时同步的目的。
本申请实施例中,触控笔与电子设备无线连接后,触控笔可以基于电子设备支持的最大的刷新率发送下行信号,电子设备可以基于电子设备支持的最大的刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号,进而可以达到电子设备和触控笔的实时信号同步的目的,提高电子设备和触控笔 的交互质量。
在一种实施例中,第二刷新率大于第一刷新率,如第一刷新率为90Hz,第二刷新率为120Hz。电子设备以第一刷新率发送上行信号,且基于第二刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号时,电子设备可以基于第一刷新率采样用户信号。其中,用户信号可以为用户触摸电子设备的触摸屏的信号。应理解,每个上行信号的周期内,电子设备可以采样M次用户信号,M为大于1的整数,M可以为预先约定的。如此,电子设备采样下行信号和采样用户信号的频率不一致,电子设备的控制逻辑复杂。
为了简化电子设备的控制逻辑,当电子设备基于第二刷新率采样来自触控笔的下行信号时,电子设备也基于第二刷新率采样用户信号,保持电子设备采样下行信号和采样用户信号的频率一致。
参照图19C,假设第一刷新率为90Hz,第二刷新率为120Hz。电子设备以120Hz用户信号时,采样用户信号的频率不一致,即报点(TP term)不均匀。示例性的,电子设备以90Hz发送上行信号,电子设备基于120Hz采样用户信号,则可以在发送上行信号后的8.3ms内采样M次用户信号,但在后续的2.8ms(11.1ms-8.3ms)内却没有采样用户信号,导致报点不均匀,进而造成报点的信噪比低,影响电子设备检测用户信号的质量,如在后续的2.8ms不能检测到用户信号。应理解,上述图16-图19B中均未示出电子设备采样用户信号的时序,图19C-图20B中未示出电子设备采样下行信号的时序。
在一种实施例中,电子设备基于第二刷新率采样用户信号时,可以在报点空白区(extend V-porch)补充报点,以提升报点的均匀度和信噪比。应理解,报点空白区可以为:在一个上行信号的周期内,电子设备最后一次采样用户信号至该上行信号的周期结束之间的时长,如图19C所示。在报点空白区补充报点可以理解为:在报点空白区继续采样用户信号。应理解,报点空白区用于显示画面。
示例性的,第一上行信号为来自电子设备的任一个上行信号,第二上行信号为第一上行信号之后的第一个上行信号。也就是说,当电子设备以第一刷新率向触控笔发送第一上行信号,且基于第二刷新率采样最后一个用户信号之后,还可以继续采样用户信号,以在报点空白区补充报点。参照图19C,第一上行信号为图19C中的电子设备发送的第一个上行信号,第二上行信号可以为图19C中的电子设备发送的第二个上行信号。
参照图20A,在一种实施例中,电子设备可以在报点空白区补充预设数量的报点,即电子设备可以在一个上行信号的周期内,最后一次采样用户信号后,继续采样预设数量次用户信号,图20A中以预设数量为2进行示例。参照图20B,在一种实施例中,电子设备可以基于第二刷新率,在报点空白区补充报点。示例性的,第二刷新率为120Hz,电子设备可以在发送上行信号后的8.3ms内,采样M次用户信号,则电子设备可以在最后一次采样用户信号后,基于第二刷新率120Hz补充报点(即在报点空白区插入0.34M个报点),即电子设备在最后一次采样用户信号后,还可以每隔bms采样一次用户信号,直至接收到下一上行信号为止,停止采样用户信号。本申请实施例对在空白区补充报点的方式不做限制。
本申请实施例中,当电子设备基于电子设备支持的最大的刷新率采样下行信号时,电子设备可以基于电子设备支持的最大的刷新率采样用户信号,电子设备可以在报点空白区补充报点,进而提高报点的均匀度和信噪比,以提升电子设备检测用户信号的质量。
