Abstract
The invention discloses a resistance type multi-point touch device and a method. A plurality of bus bars intersects each other to form a plurality of intersecting regions. The intersecting bus bars are separated from each other by a plurality of insulating particles. First, suppressed intersecting regions are sensed, and then contact points on the suppressed intersecting regions are sensed according to the suppressed intersecting regions. Sensing of the suppressed intersecting regions is performed by firstly sensing suppressed bus bars, and then judging possibly suppressed intersecting regions based on the suppressed bus bars, and sensing suppressed intersecting regions based on these possibly suppressed intersecting regions. The driving and sensing modes do not cause the weakness of rearward sensed contact point signals because of the excessive forward contact points, and the different judgment standards are unnecessary to be provided aiming at the different sensing regions. In addition, the invention can sense the suppressed intersecting regions, and judge the positions of contact points located in the intersecting regions, and by adopting the invention, higher resolution can be obtained by using less conductive bus bars.

It is as follows that the present invention will describe some embodiment in detail.Yet except disclosed embodiment, the embodiment that the present invention can also be used in other widely implements.Scope of the present invention is not subjected to the qualification of those embodiment, is be as the criterion with thereafter claim.And be familiar with this skill person and can understand summary of the invention of the present invention for clearer description being provided and making, each several part is not drawn according to its relative size in the diagram, some size is highlighted and the exaggeration that seems with the ratio regular meeting of other scale dependents, and incoherent detail section is not also drawn fully, in the hope of illustrated succinct.
A specific embodiment of the present invention is a kind of resistance-resistance type multi-point touch method, as shown in Figure 2.At first, shown in step 210, at least one touched overlapping area on sensing one resistance type multi-point touch device is next shown in step 220, according at least one contact point of each touched overlapping area sensing.
Above-mentioned multi-point touch control apparatus comprises most these buss of bar bus and comprises first, second bus of most bars, first, second bus is mutually repeatedly in most overlapping areas, when at least one touching thing pressed, partly first, second bus contacted and forms at least one contact point that presses corresponding to each touching thing.
First, second bus keeps not contacting when not touched, in one example of the present invention, can be dispersed in therebetween with most insulating particles (spacer) between first, second bus, uses to separate first, second bus.In addition, the present invention does not limit the position of first, second bus between self, can be first bus last, can also be that second bus is last.In one example of the present invention, the different axial array of first, second bus are arranged an overlapping area array that forms to constitute by most overlapping areas.For example first bus is arranged with horizontal direction, and second bus is arranged with vertical direction, and vice versa.
First, second bus can have predetermined width respectively, so first, second bus repeatedly locates to form the overlapping area mutually.Knowing correlation technique person can know by inference, and the width of above-mentioned bus does not need unanimity, can each bus be different width, so the area of overlapping area also may be different, and the present invention comprises but do not limited.
In addition, know correlation technique person and can know by inference, according to the difference of touching thing, the quantity of the overlapping area that contacts between first, second bus also may be different with area.In a preferable example of the present invention, the touch point on each overlapping area is single, no matter that is the area size that on an overlapping area, presses, the scope that presses on this overlapping area is considered as single touch point.Knowing correlation technique person can also know by inference, when if the overlapping area is big, also plural contact point might be arranged, in the case, can be according to the sequencing that presses, tell two different contact points, the present invention for the quantity of contact point in the single overlapping area including but not limited to more than one.
Fig. 3 is the method for sensing of touched overlapping area of the present invention.Shown in step 310, provide a noble potential and an electronegative potential in mutually repeatedly in first, second bus of each overlapping area respectively, and shown in step 320, when when mutually repeatedly in first, second bus of arbitrary overlapping area, being provided noble potential and electronegative potential respectively, sensing is provided first bus of noble potential, to sense each touched overlapping area.
For example, drive first bus sequentially, during each bar first bus is driven, drive each bar second bus sequentially, so, just one by one on driven first bus of sensing each overlapping area whether touched, by driving the process of each first bus, each overlapping area in the array of sensing overlapping area, and then sense each touched overlapping area.
In view of the above, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, resistance type multi-point touch device in the touched overlapping area of sensing shown in Fig. 4 A figure, comprise a sensing cell V1 and a driver element D1, driver element provides a noble potential VH1 and an electronegative potential VL1, and wherein noble potential VH1 provides to the first bus (X1, X2, one of ..., X8), electronegative potential VL1 provides to the second bus (Y1 in addition, Y2, one of ..., Y8), sensing cell V1 sensing is provided the bus of noble potential VH1.
The sensing that is provided first bus of noble potential VH1 can be including but not limited to the accurate position of sensing current potential, electric current or logic, and can be to come sensing in the one or both ends of first bus that is provided noble potential VH1.For example, in one example of the present invention, noble potential VH1 promotes resistance R 1 by one to offer first bus, the first bus (X1, X2, ..., one of X8), the accurate position of current potential, electric current or logic that promotes on resistance R 1 one sides (as promoting between resistance R 1 and the bus) by sensing senses each touched overlapping area.
For example, when noble potential VH1 and electronegative potential VL1 offered bus X1, Y1 respectively, whether sensing cell V1 just can sense the overlapping area that bus X1, Y1 change mutually touched.For example, when taking turns to overlapping area that bus X1, Y1 change mutually when being measured, driver element D1 provides noble potential VH1 and electronegative potential VL1 to bus X1, Y1 respectively, shown in Fig. 4 B, if the overlapping area that bus X1, Y1 change mutually is not touched, electric current is not by the bus X1 bus Y1 that flows through, and the signal that therefore promotes resistance R 1 does not have significant change, and sensing cell V1 can judge by this that the overlapping area that bus X1, Y1 change mutually is not touched.Similarly, when taking turns to overlapping area that bus X8, Y7 change mutually when being measured, driver element D1 provides noble potential VH1, electronegative potential VL1 to bus X8, Y7 respectively.When the overlapping area that bus X8, Y7 change mutually was touched, electric current flowed to bus Y7 by bus X8, and sensing cell V1 changes by the current potential that sensing promotes resistance R 1, and it is touched to sense the overlapping area that bus X8, Y7 change mutually.Knowing related art techniques person can know by inference, driver element can also be provide respectively electronegative potential VL1 and noble potential VH1 to first bus (X1, X2 ..., one of X8) with second bus (Y1, Y2 ..., one of Y8), shown in Fig. 4 C.
Fig. 5 is the schematic flow sheet according at least one contact point of each touched overlapping area sensing.Shown in step 510, repeatedly in each bus of each touched overlapping area, the two ends of driven bus are provided a noble potential and an electronegative potential respectively mutually in driving respectively.And for example shown in the step 520, when mutually repeatedly when one of pair of conductive bar of arbitrary touched overlapping area is driven, sensing this to not being driven bus in the bus, to sense each contacting points position.For the sensing that is not driven bus, sensing is not driven the one or both ends of bus simultaneously.
In other words, in each touched overlapping area, will change mutually drives one of bus in this of this overlapping area with rotating, and sensing this to not driven another bus in the bus, to sense the two-dimentional coordinate of contact point.For example, drive this earlier to first bus in the bus, and sensing second bus, to sense the position of contact point on first bus is axial, as one first one dimension coordinate Px in the two-dimentional coordinate.Next, drive this to second bus in the bus, and sensing first bus, to sense the position of contact point on second bus is axial, as one second one dimension coordinate Py in the two-dimentional coordinate.The sequencing that drives first, second bus does not limit, and treats first, second bus all behind the sensing, can obtain contact point respectively in the position of first, second bus on axially, and this position can (Px Py) represents with two-dimentional coordinate.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, resistance type multi-point touch device for the sensing of contact point as shown in Figure 6A.Resistance type multi-point touch device comprises most bar buss, a sensing cell V2 and a driver element D2.Most bar buss be above-mentioned first bus (X1, X2 ..., X8) with second bus (Y1, Y2 ..., Y8).Driver element provides a noble potential VH2 and an electronegative potential VL2 driving one of most bar buss, and sensing cell V2 sensing be driven one of bus that bus changes mutually.Therefore when being driven bus and changing in a touched overlapping area mutually with sensed bus, sensing cell V2 can sense contact point P and be driven the position of bus on axial.
For example, when press the overlapping area be bus X8, Y7 change mutually the overlapping area time, shown in Fig. 6 B, driver element provides noble potential VH2, electronegative potential VL2 in bus X8 two ends earlier, and sensing bus Y7 is positioned at the axially position Px of (first bus is axial) of bus X8 with sensing contact point P.Similarly, shown in Fig. 6 C, driver element provides noble potential VH2, electronegative potential VL2 in bus Y7 two ends again, and sensing bus X8, is positioned at the axially position Px of (first bus is axial) of bus Y7 with sensing contact point P.
In one embodiment of this invention, driver element D1 and sensing cell V1 distinguish each overlapping area of sensing in regular turn, to sense all touched overlapping areas, and driver element D2 and sensing cell V2 distinguish each overlapping area of sensing in regular turn, with sense each overlapping area at axial bidimensional image of one first bus and the axial bidimensional image of one second bus, again according to each touched overlapping area by the position of judging each contact point in the axial bidimensional image of first, second bus.Apparently, choose touched overlapping area earlier than above-mentioned, only sense each contacting points position at touched overlapping area again, present embodiment usefulness is relatively poor.
In the above description, the sensing of sensing cell V1 can be including but not limited to the accurate position of sensing current potential, electric current or logic, and sensing cell V2 sensing is the actual value of signal, as magnitude of voltage, current value, therefore and the sensing of two dimensions must be carried out in each overlapping area, and the sensing of touched overlapping area is far faster than the sensing of touch point.
Above-mentioned first bus (X1, X2 ..., X8) with second bus (Y1, Y2 ..., quantity Y8) is for example usefulness only, is not in order to restriction the present invention, the quantity of first bus and second bus can change according to the needs on designing respectively.Therefore when first, second bus had m, n bar respectively, will have m*n overlapping area needed sensing, and the quantity of first, second bus is many more, and the time of all overlapping areas of sensing will be of a specified duration more.Therefore, quicken the sensing of all overlapping areas, could promote whole usefulness.
In view of the above, a most preferred embodiment of the present invention as shown in Figure 7.Shown in step 710, the touched bus of most bars on the sensing resistor formula multi-point touch control apparatus.And for example shown in the step 720, judge the possible touched overlapping area that touched bus changes mutually according to these touched buss.For another example shown in the step 730, according at least one touched overlapping area on the sensing resistor formula multi-point touch control apparatus of the touched overlapping area of possibility.More shown in step 740, sense at least one contact point according to each touched overlapping area.
In other words, can be to judge that earlier which first bus and second bus are touched, can judge according to first, second touched bus may touched overlapping area.Sense touched overlapping area than above-mentioned Fig. 3, Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 C at all overlapping areas, this specific embodiment only needs at sensing touched overlapping area in touched overlapping area.
In a preferable example of the present invention, resistance type multi-point touch device for the sensing of touched bus shown in Fig. 8 A.Resistance type multi-point touch device comprises most bar buss, a sensing cell V3 and a driver element D3.Most bar buss be above-mentioned first bus (X1, X2 ..., X8) with second bus (Y1, Y2 ..., Y8).Driver element D3 provides a noble potential VH3 to one of these buss respectively, and provide with an electronegative potential VL3 to be provided all buss that noble potential VH3 bus changes mutually, to sense touched bus respectively.
For example, shown in Fig. 8 B, driver element D3 provide in regular turn noble potential VH3 to first bus (X1, X2 ..., one of X8), and provide electronegative potential VL3 to all second buss that change mutually with first bus that is provided noble potential VH3 (Y1, Y2 ..., Y8), sensing cell V3 sensing is provided the first sensing bar of noble potential VH 3.For example, the first bus X1, X2 ..., or X7 is not touched, so electric current is by the first sensed bus X1, X2 ..., or X7 flows to any second bus, so sensing cell V3 do not sense the first bus X1, X2 ..., or X7 is touched.When the first bus X8 was provided noble potential VH3, electric current flowed to the second bus Y7 by the first bus X8, thus sensing cell V 3 can to sense the first bus X8 touched.
Similarly, driver element D3 provides noble potential VH3 to the second bus (Y1 in regular turn, one of Y2 ..., Y8), and provide electronegative potential VL3 to all first bus (X1 that change mutually with second bus that is provided noble potential VH3, X2 ..., X8), sensing cell V3 senses the second touched bus by this, as the second bus Y7.
The sensing of bus that is provided noble potential VH2 is similar in appearance to the above-mentioned sensing that is provided first bus of noble potential VH1, can be including but not limited to the accurate position of sensing current potential, electric current or logic, and can be to come sensing in the one or both ends of first bus that is provided noble potential VH3.For example, in one embodiment of this invention, noble potential VH3 promotes resistance R 2 by one to offer one of above-mentioned bus, and the accurate position of current potential, electric current or logic that promotes on resistance R 2 one sides (as promoting between resistance R 2 and the bus) by sensing senses each touched bus.
Therefore, can judge the touched overlapping area of at least one possibility that these touched buss change mutually by touched most bar buss (as bus X8, Y7).When being not more than three, may be touched overlapping area in touched overlapping area by the touched overlapping area of possibility.
In addition, driver element D3 can provide noble potential VH3 to most bar buss simultaneously respectively, and sensing cell V3 can be simultaneously respectively sensing be provided the part of noble potential VH3 or whole buss, yet the bus that is provided noble potential VH3 need be first bus simultaneously or be second bus simultaneously.
Above-mentioned bus is optionally selected the driving or sensing, and known correlation technique person can know by inference, and selecting of bus can be including but not limited to passing through switching device shifters such as switch, multi-function device, bus-bar, and the present invention is not limited.In addition, above-mentioned noble potential VH1, VH2, VH3 can be identical, can also be different, and similarly, above-mentioned electronegative potential VL1, VL2, VL3 can be identical, can also be different, the present invention is not limited.Moreover above-mentioned lifting resistance can be identical, can also be different, and the present invention is not limited.
According to above-mentioned, have point of contact is through presenting the overlapping area image as Fig. 9 behind the sensing.When the touching thing had the tip, the contact of touching thing can make the overlapping area image present corresponding contact point signal.When the touching thing of pointing or contact area is bigger was touched, the overlapping area image can present a corresponding majority contact point signal, shown in Figure 10 A.
