Abstract

Method of current source for control and compensation touch sensing capacitor and apparatus thereof are disclosed. The apparatus is composed of a sensing capacitor connected to one or more touch input points and a sensing capacitor. Each touch input point is further connected to a touch capacitor. The method first clears up the charges in the sensing capacitor and the touch capacitor, and then generates a variable current source to charge the touch capacitor. After charging, the charges on the touch capacitor are transferred and accumulated onto the sensing capacitor to generate an accumulated voltage Vs, and a counting value N is added by 1 to N+1. The foregoing process is repeated until the accumulated voltage Vs reaches a reference voltage Vref. When the counting value N meets a criterion, the occurrence of a touch at the touch input point is indicated.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method and device for sensing and compensating a touch capacitance using a current source, and more particularly to a touch screen (T〇uch Screen), Touch device such as slide switch (Sllder), matrix switch (Matrix), pulley switch (wheel) or pen touch screen (Pen-Pad), method and device capable of controlling and compensating touch capacitance sensor by using current source . [Prior Art] - Press 'Because of advances in technology, the application of touch technology has been widely developed on many electrical sighs, such as behind opaque glass panels in ovens and frying pans, using separate sensitive buttons. This fine control button replaces the mechanical button by (4), because the mechanical button has a short life, and the domain must have the associated cost of installing the button on the panel. In addition, the touch screen has become the most important application technology at present, and the touch technology of the touch screen has resistive and capacitive touch, etc. The resistive miscellaneous screen will quickly age after being scratched and cracked. Therefore, capacitive touch technology has the characteristics of durability and low cost, and has gradually become the preferred technology for touch. $Bound often has a false mourning, think that capacitive is difficult to technology, its people must be grounded, the finger can be activated, the material refers to the thief should touch because the surface has a charge, so for example in the car To answer the phone _ test, only need a finger within 10cm, do not have to touch, you can detect the small value of the board to start the touch. Bu's current touch screens are mostly multi-touch (Multi_Pad) Russian test, which means that the complex number can be detected at the same time. The control point is touched, and the value of the touch point is often very close, and must be designed (4) The complex array capacitance and the fine capacitance can be calculated and reacted in real time. 'But the design cost of the capacitor circuit is also corresponding to 200917130. For example, the circular touch sensor circuit structure of the four groups of touch points is known. The sensing 瀬1 f design handle body circuit. The simple control ❹ (8) is connected to a == control input point (D1-D4) 2 and 4 sets of sensing capacitors (Csl-Cs4) 3, and each i point 2 is also connected - Touch capacitor _ class 5, when the finger touches I; ft point 2, the touch capacitor 5 will sense the value of the touch capacitance, the capacitance value sensed by the m power device 5 is transferred to the corresponding sense Measure the capacitor 3 on the faulty capacitor 115 to prevent the level of electricity, continue to touch the point to the sensing capacitor 3, and then sense the capacitance of the capacitor 3 to determine = = whether the person is touched, so touch input The more points, the slower the detection will be. In addition, the pulse, humidity and interference sources of the external environment will also be reflected in the capacitance sensor's detection of the touch point capacitance value. Therefore, for a conventional capacitive sensor, when the detected touch point capacitance value is too small, when the spurt capacitance value is too large, and when the adjacent multiple touch point capacitance values are too close, It is not easy to be detected, resulting in problems that cannot be touched or touched. 'The job is that the inventor of the present case is to solve the above-mentioned lack of inconvenience and inconvenience of the existing capacitive touch sensing technology, and to study and cooperate with the theory, the towel to control the increase or decrease of the current source, so as to touch The external touch point capacitance of the sensor ^ first charge or sense the capacitor discharge, similar to increase or decrease the touch capacitance value ^ g [' and can accelerate the speculation of the f-control point capacitance value, so it can effectively improve Due to environmental interference or multiple contacts are too close or the capacitance value is too small. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a current source control and compensation touch capacitance sensing method and device thereof, which are used to solve an environment where it is required to detect a small touch capacitance or an & a large stray capacitance environment.

The solution of the present invention is to increase the resolution of the touch sensor u. For example, a touch The charge of the capacitor 14 is transferred to the sensing capacitor 13, and a resolution of 10 bits is required to resolve the small charge of the debt measurement, but the hardware cost of the Analog to Digital Converter is very expensive. The second-time transfer and the small charge The method 'has to take a long time'. How to increase the resolution often needs to consider the hardware cost and the speed of software execution. Therefore, this (4) thorough current source is still used to solve the problem, using 4bit which is a controllable current.

as shown in FIG. 2, the touch sensor of the present invention is removed. One or more touch input points 12 are connected, and only one sensing capacitor 13 is connected. The control unit 20 is connected to the multi-function unit 21, the current source control and compensation unit 22, the capacitance detecting unit 23, and the capacitance level measuring and counting unit 24, which can control all the _ peach components by the 200917130 software. The multi-function unit 21 is further connected to the touch input point 12, the current source control and compensation unit 22, and the capacitance detecting unit 23. The flow source control and compensation unit 22 is connected to the capacitor_unit 23, and (4) The measuring unit 23 and the capacitance level clearing unit 24 are connected to both ends of the capacitor. The multi-function unit 21 is an analog-multi-power device, and can be controlled by the control unit 2 to select any of the touch input points and the difficult capacitors connected thereto. There are mainly two kinds of action states, and the current source is The control and compensation unit 22 generates a variable current source to precharge any of the touch input points 12, and the second is that the capacitance on the control capacitor H14 is transferred from the capacitor thin unit 23 to the viewing container 13. Generated with touch. The current source (4) and the replenishing element 22 can be used to transmit the pre-charge of the touch capacitors 14 to the capacitors, and the pre-charge can be performed on the capacitors. f action. Therefore, the capacitor system 2 is controlled by the controller 20, and the aspect is transferred and accumulating the electric power on the touch capacitor 14. In addition, the current source can be controlled and compensated for the increase or decrease of the voltage compensation. Then, the capacitance level ^ unit 24' #数0Hake detection unit 23 shifts the electric current on the vacuum capacitor 14 to the slit on the sensing capacitor, so that the lying is fresh. Please refer to - and refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, which are the basic motion diagrams of the embodiment of the present invention, starting from the initiation step, and the control lion will clear the capacitance level 1 measurement and counting unit 24. The light is zero, and the charge of the touch input device selected by the multi-function unit 21 is cleared (S403).彳 彳 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 航 20 20 20 产生 产生 产生 产生 产生 产生 产生 产生 产生 产生 产生The capacitance detection unit 2==accumulation step, the control unit, the f-load on the control unit, the tired forest element 21, the transfer capacitance load, the capacitance level measurement I ^ f ^13 (_), And each time the electricity is transferred, and it is judged that the salty, the eyelids, and the saponins 24 will be counted once, so that the count value N=N+1 (S406) is pressed (v_s: · 13 accumulated cumulative voltage (Vs) Whether it is less than a reference power (vs), 累积 Γ r 该 感 感 感 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 该 累积 累积 累积 累积 累积 累积 累积 累积Door, (4). When the value 1^ meets the standard, 'If the count value is between 90 and 110, ^ means that the finger touches the touch input point 12 (S408). Fixed = pm^(vs) is still smaller than the reference voltage (vref) first judge whether it exceeds the Park =, if otherwise, _ Na continues to accumulate charge, if it is, then it means that the device touches the touch input point 12, and the touch control of the next touch input point 12 is exemplified. For that, When there is a touch input point IS is touched, the touch power 1 is 10p, and the variable current source needs to charge the touch capacitor 14 to generate a magical amount of basic charge. Charging (four) false ·4. If the sensing capacitor is accumulated voltage (Vs) generated by 3 accumulated charge at the fixed time (assuming 4 (four) reaches the reference voltage (Vref)' and the capacitance level measurement count When the count value N of the unit 又 meets the standard (assuming 1 )), it means that the finger generates touch. Next, the present invention describes the operation of the three states with a variable current source to solve the problem that the "touch capacitance is too small, When the two stray capacitances are too large, the three touch points are too close to each other. It is assumed that in the general environment, when the finger touches, the touch capacitance generated by the touch capacitor 4 is i〇p, However, in the first environment, when the touch capacitance value W is required, it can still be detected; when in the second environment, the touch capacitance value when the finger touches is l〇p ' and the circuit has l〇杂p stray capacitance; when in the third environment, it is required to detect at least two touch input points 12 When the touch is touched, the two similar touch capacitors can be resolved. 200917130 In the first environment embodiment, when the finger is required to leave the touch input point 10cm, the request can still be detected, then the The touch capacitance value of the touch input point 12 may be lp 'the operation flow is still the same as the basic action of FIG. 4, but the variable current source charges the touch capacitor 14 for each time owing to step S404. By doubling the time, the basic charge amount of one unit can be generated, so the present invention can increase the current source control and the surface unit 22 generates a variable variable electric charge to face the touch capacitor 14, so that it can still be at the same time. The detection standard is judged whether there is a judgment. In the general environment, this method can also be used to speed up the detection of whether there is a finger touch. In the embodiment of the second environment, the capacitance of the touch capacitance value is 1 〇p, and the stray capacitance is the case of l 〇〇 P, please - and refer to the third and the fifth figure, which is the invention The stray capacitance saves the paste action. Similarly, starting with the initiation step, the control unit 20 will clear the zero level (8) call by the electric level calculation unit 24, and will sense the electric charge of the electric dance 13 (2), and the Laixiang work list. The charge removal of the touch capacitor 14 of the selected touch input point 12 is cut (S5〇3). Then, the pre-charging step is performed, and the fresh element financial control and the reconnaissance unit 22 are generated--(four) flow-testing--the simple control capacitor (4) is pre-charged to complete the side of the touch capacitor returning step _step, the element 20 will control the remaining _ unit 23-year-old blue (four) capacity (four) on the charge product to § hai sensing capacitor 13 on the Qing 5). However, since the lion p stray capacitance exists in the whole circuit, if the charge on the simple control capacitor is directly accumulated on the sensing capacitor 13, the foot_stray electricity is transferred to the wrong side. Therefore, each time the charge of the touch capacitor 14 is transferred, the current source is controlled to control the unit of the miner (four) fresh (four) recorded = current source, _ through the capacitor _ single child ❹ m fine 3 discharge 12 200917130 clock ^ with a hybrid capacitor The charged charge will flow first. At this time, the charge in the sensing capacitor 13 is only the charge transferred by the touch capacitor 14 touched by the finger. Each time the charge is transferred, the capacitance level measurement and counting unit 25 counts once, ^ ten value N = N + 1 (S507), and the cumulative voltage (Vs) of the sensing capacitor 13 is broken. Voltage (Vref) (S5〇8), if the accumulated voltage (Vs) is equal to or greater than the wide-ranging voltage (Vref), and the count value of the capacitance level measuring unit % meets the standard, it means that the finger touches To the touch input point 12 (S5〇9), if the accumulated voltage (Vs) is still less than the reference voltage (Vref), it is first determined whether the fixed time is exceeded (S510), otherwise, the process returns to step S503 to continue accumulating charges, and if so, It means that the finger does not touch the touch input point 12, and the touch capacitance detection of the next touch input point 12 is performed. Wherein the control variable current source can remove the stray capacitance, and when more than two different touch input points 12 need to be more accurately resolved, the sensing capacitor 13 needs to be controlled to discharge the charge, and the standard detection is achieved. The charge reduction of the measured voltage can provide an increase in the cumulative number of counts of the capacitance level measurement and counting unit 24 to achieve the standard detection voltage. Because the voltage (Vs) generated by the sensing capacitor 13 is fixed, it is impossible to accumulate an infinite amount of charge on the sensing capacitor 13, but how much charge is to be discharged from the sensing capacitor 13, and then Recharging, these can be recorded and calculated, so the size of the sensing capacitor 13 is also more flexible. In addition, in general capacitive touch measurement, the resolution will gradually decrease, because the charge transfer of a general capacitor, whether in series or parallel, will result in less and less accumulated charge, exponential (exponential) In the saturation state, the resolution at this time is very different from that at the beginning. By using the method of controlling the variable current source of the present invention, the amount of charge discharged by the sensing capacitor 13 can be recorded to maintain the resolution. There is a big difference, that is, the accumulated voltage (Vs) accumulated by the sensing capacitor reaches the reference voltage (Vref) value, and does not need to be too high, and the discharge is fast, and the operation time is not affected at all. 13 200917130 々 Ϊ 2 refers to the figure shown in Figure 6, which is used to improve the accuracy of the action unit 24 is cleared to Qing, and == = 4 divided _2), and the multi-unit selected The charge of the touch capacitor 14 of the touch input point η is cleared (S603). ° _ system 2G will control the galvanic control and .J70, the enthalpy current source is pre-charged by the touch capacitor 14 , and the capacitance detecting unit 23 is pre-charged. The electricity on the touch capacitor 14 is transferred to the s-shear capacitor 13 (§6〇5). Each of the transfer-time charges 'the capacitance level measurement and counting unit 24 counts one minus=6), and judges that the accumulated Xia (10) accumulated by the sensing electric thin 3 is less than one, and the silk sensing capacitance such as the accumulated electric charge The generated accumulated electric MVs) 'the reference voltage (Vrd) is reached during the fixed time, and when the capacitance level is counted as New York, it is difficult to touch the touch, and the high resolution is increased by the present invention. The number of accumulated electric charges of the ribs is that the accumulated electricity is less than the reference electric power (4), first determine whether the capacitance = the number of the measured number of soaps 7024 is m (m6), if not, then ==6G3 Continue to accumulate charge. When the correction is a multiple of m, the control unit 2 controls the control and compensation unit 22 to generate a negative current source of a negative basic charge amount, and returns to step S603 to reaccumulate the charge. For example, when the H adjacent touch control input point I2 is touched, one is 10ρ ' and the other one is 疋 9.5p ' because the capacitance values are close to each other, which makes it difficult to distinguish, and the touch can be used to create a surface. The basic charge amount of the solution, the m parameter is 'multiples of m is 25,5〇, 75,1〇〇, (2), (10)...etc., and the current source 200917130 controls and compensates for the variable current source generated by the unit It is a basic charge of 10 units of negative, so every time N is a multiple of m, 10 units of charge are discharged, so 1〇p is assumed to count 100 times (N=100), there will be 1000 units. The amount of charge is further lost by 5 units of charge after 5 times of discharge, for a total of 15 units of charge, and finally, when the accumulated voltage (Vs) accumulated by the sensing capacitor 13 exceeds the reference voltage (Vref) When the N value is 1500/10=150. For the 9.5p touch point, when counting 1 time (N=1〇〇), there is (1) (8) units of charge, but 9.5p is 6 units of discharge after 6 times of discharge. The amount of charge is a total of 1600 unit charge amounts. When the accumulated voltage (Vs) of the sensing capacitor 13 exceeds the reference voltage (Vref), the value of N is 1600/9.5=169, so the two touch input points 12 The accumulated count value is 150 and 169, the difference is 19, the original is 1〇〇 and 106^ The difference is 6, so increasing the cumulative charge number can improve the resolution, so that the capacitance value of the adjacent touch input point is phased. It is very easy to distinguish, so the present invention utilizes a method of controlling a variable current source to control the discharge of the charge of the sensing capacitor 13. In addition to removing stray capacitance, adjacent touch input points are not well resolved because of similar capacitance values. Second, you can increase the ability to distinguish. Finally, the present invention utilizes a variable current source control and compensation capacitive sensing method, which is also helpful for speed calculation. Since multiple input points often need to be measured and moved, if they use conventional high-resolution methods. Measuring the capacitance and understanding the speed and direction of the chicken from the change of the capacitance value is really very difficult. The invention can increase the variable current source to inject the touch input point 12 to charge the touch capacitor 4 By subtracting the cumulative N value of the counting unit 24 and measuring the electric valley value by the heterodyne method, the speed and direction of the movement can be known. For example, when the finger moves linearly, the corpse is arbitrarily measured. When two touch points are used, the Ricod difference method can estimate the speed of the movement ^ square f ' without having to calculate the capacitance value of each touch capacitor, so it can save the calculation time of the CPU' Speed can also be reduced and compared to save power. The invention can indeed provide a current source control 15 200917130 sensing method and a shock by the above-mentioned disclosed technology, which can satisfy the influence of the temperature or humidity of the soil 2 or the specification change, The fast Russian tester Eryu Erguang County, completely independent of the design of the savvy, can not be seen before the application of the crane or public use, Cheng has met the requirements of the invention patents 爰 legally filed invention patents Application.
