Description

電子系統、觸控處理裝置與其處理方法、主機與其處理方法 Electronic system, touch processing device and processing method thereof, host and processing method thereof

本發明係關於具有觸控面板或螢幕的電子系統，特別係關於接受觸控手勢以直接觸發處理裝置而無須進入作業系統處理堆疊的電子系統。 The present invention relates to an electronic system having a touch panel or screen, and more particularly to an electronic system that accepts touch gestures to directly trigger a processing device without entering the operating system processing stack.

現代的電子裝置多不使用機械開關來啟閉內部的系統運作，而改用電子開關，以避免機械開關的磨耗降低可靠度。常見的機械或電子開關通常是開關按鈕，在輕薄短小且講究防水功能的時代，在電子裝置的外殼上設計開關按鈕需要考慮到人因工程與上述條件。因此，如果能用電子裝置既有的輸入裝置來啟閉系統運作或是啟動某些快捷鍵，就可以省略特定的系統啟閉或快捷鍵按鈕設計。不但能夠減省開關的機械結構與電路設計、讓外觀設計更加簡潔美觀，還能夠增進防水性能、並且增加外殼強度等，具有非常良好的功效。 Most modern electronic devices do not use mechanical switches to open and close the internal system operation. Instead, electronic switches are used to avoid the wear of mechanical switches and reduce the reliability. A common mechanical or electronic switch is usually a switch button. In the era of lightness, thinness, shortness and waterproofness, designing the switch button on the housing of an electronic device needs to consider human factors and the above conditions. Therefore, if the existing input device of the electronic device can be used to open and close the system operation or activate certain shortcut keys, the specific system on / off or shortcut key button design can be omitted. Not only can reduce the mechanical structure and circuit design of the switch, make the appearance design more concise and beautiful, but also can improve the waterproof performance, and increase the strength of the shell, etc., has a very good effect.

The signal is transmitted to the host and / or other peripheral processing devices, so that the host and / or other peripheral processing devices can know the user's response to the problem through the simple circuit interface. The touch panel or screen issues the command without fully interpreting the touch event report stack to trigger the corresponding function. The above-mentioned circuit signal can also be transmitted without the position of the touch event.

When the touch processing device 130 determines that a power-on instruction has been received, the touch processing device 130 notifies the power supply module 150 through the power switch interface 131. The power supply module 150 provides power and necessary instructions to the host 140 through the power interface 153, and performs the startup operation of the electronic system 100 according to the startup sequence of the host 140.

在一實施例中，在主機140關閉的時候，觸控處理裝置130可以較低的時脈運作，以便節省電力。時脈產生器160也可以提供頻率較低的時脈信號，以便節省電力。當主機140開啟之後，觸控處理裝置130可以較高的時脈運作，以便提供更好的觸控事件報告服務。 In one embodiment, when the host 140 is turned off, the touch processing device 130 can operate at a lower clock to save power. Clock generator 160 can also provide lower frequencies Clock signal to save power. After the host 140 is turned on, the touch processing device 130 can operate at a higher clock in order to provide better touch event reporting services.

在一實施例中，在主機140關閉的時候，觸控處理裝置130可以關閉部分的元件以便節省電力。比方說，觸控處理裝置能夠關閉部分的處理器單元、部分的記憶體、部分的快閃記憶體、部分的電極連接介面等。當主機140開啟之後，觸控處理裝置130可以令這些被關閉的元件恢復運作，以提供更好的觸控事件報告服務。 In one embodiment, when the host 140 is turned off, the touch processing device 130 may turn off some components to save power. For example, the touch processing device can turn off part of the processor unit, part of the memory, part of the flash memory, and part of the electrode connection interface. After the host 140 is turned on, the touch processing device 130 can restore these turned-off components to provide better touch event reporting services.

在一實施例中，在主機140關閉的時候，觸控處理裝置130的觸控事件偵測/報告率要低於主機140開啟的時候，觸控處理裝置130的觸控事件偵測/報告率。 In an embodiment, when the host 140 is turned off, the touch event detection / report rate of the touch processing device 130 is lower than when the host 140 is turned on, the touch event detection / report rate of the touch processing device 130 is lower. .

在一實施例中，在主機140關閉的時候，觸控處理裝置130可以利用較少的第一電極121與第二電極122進行偵測，以便節省電力。在一範例中，可以使用通過觸控面板120中間區域或其他部分區域的第一電極121與第二電極122進行偵測，而無須使用到全部的第一電極121與第二電極122。在另一範例中，可以使用每隔一或多條第一電極121與/或第二電極122進行偵測，以便節省電力。雖然使用較少條電極來覆蓋整個觸控面板120，會降低觸控事件的位置精度。不過若能用來判斷是否收到使用者的開機指令，也能夠接受。 In an embodiment, when the host 140 is turned off, the touch processing device 130 may use fewer first electrodes 121 and second electrodes 122 to detect, so as to save power. In one example, the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 passing through the middle region or other partial regions of the touch panel 120 may be used for detection, without using all the first electrodes 121 and the second electrode 122. In another example, every other one or more of the first electrode 121 and / or the second electrode 122 can be used for detection in order to save power. Although fewer electrodes are used to cover the entire touch panel 120, the accuracy of the position of a touch event will be reduced. However, if it can be used to determine whether the user's boot command is received, it can also be accepted.

在一實施例中，在主機140關閉的時候，觸控處理裝置130可以使用較差的偵測模式，以便節省電力。比方說，當主機140開啟之後，觸控處理裝置130可以偵測多指觸碰的手勢；而當主機140關閉的時候，觸控處理裝置130只能偵測單指觸碰的手勢，或者是只能偵測兩指觸碰的手勢。由於觸控處理裝置130的運算量減低，自然就能夠減少電力的消耗。 In one embodiment, when the host 140 is turned off, the touch processing device 130 may use a poor detection mode in order to save power. For example, when the host 140 is turned on, the touch processing device 130 can detect a multi-finger touch gesture; when the host 140 is turned off, the touch processing device 130 can only detect a single-finger touch gesture, or Only two-finger gestures can be detected. Since the calculation amount of the touch processing device 130 is reduced, the power consumption can naturally be reduced.

在一實施例中，在主機140關閉的時候，觸控處理裝置130可以使用較差的偵測性能，以便節省電力。比方說，觸控處理裝置130提供較低的電壓到觸控電極，或是使用較低的放大器增益比來處理觸控電極的信號等。而當主機140開啟之後，觸控處理裝置130可以提供較高的電壓到觸控電極，或是使用較高的放大器增益比來處理觸控電極的信號等。 In one embodiment, when the host 140 is turned off, the touch processing device 130 may use poor detection performance in order to save power. For example, the touch processing device 130 provides a lower voltage to the touch electrodes, or uses a lower amplifier gain ratio to process the signals of the touch electrodes. After the host 140 is turned on, the touch processing device 130 can provide a higher voltage to the touch electrodes, or use a higher amplifier gain ratio to process the signals of the touch electrodes.

步驟310：可以利用觸控面板的觸控電極，如圖1的第一電極121與/或第二電極122來偵測多個觸控事件。 Step 310: The touch electrodes of the touch panel, such as the first electrode 121 and / or the second electrode 122 of FIG. 1, can be used to detect multiple touch events.

步驟320：可以根據該多個觸控事件，來判斷使用者是否輸入一開機指令。 Step 320: According to the multiple touch events, it can be determined whether the user inputs a power-on instruction.

步驟330：當判斷有一開機指令時，則送出開機通知給電源供應模組，如圖1的電源供應模組150。在一範例中，也可以送出開機通知給主機140。 Step 330: When it is determined that there is a power-on instruction, a power-on notification is sent to the power supply module, as shown in the power supply module 150 of FIG. 1. In an example, the power-on notification may also be sent to the host 140.

步驟320的判斷程序可以包含多種不同的實作方式。在一實施例中，可以偵測這些觸控事件是否形成某一特定手勢。例如單指的畫圈手勢，多指的縮放手勢。這些手勢可以內定在觸控處理裝置之中，也可以由使用者自定。 The determination procedure of step 320 may include a variety of different implementation methods. In one embodiment, it can be detected whether these touch events form a specific gesture. Examples include single-finger circle gestures and multi-finger zoom gestures.

For example, click three times in the same area, or click events that occur in different areas. For example, click sequentially on the four corner areas of the touch panel. Similarly, these clicks can be set in the touch processing device or can be set by the user.

上述開機指令是由一或多個手勢與/或點選事件依序組成，也可以設定多個開機指令所對應的觸控手勢與/或點選事件的順序。只要開機指令和無心的經常觸碰無關，就能夠保證開機指令是使用者故意下達。 The above startup command is composed of one or more gestures and / or click events in sequence, and the order of touch gestures and / or click events corresponding to multiple startup commands may also be set. As long as the startup command has nothing to do with unintentional frequent touching, it can be ensured that the startup command is deliberately issued by the user.

According to this, although the clock signal provided by the clock component is slow and inaccurate, the actual The embodiment can allow a clock component with lower power consumption to replace the clock generator with higher power consumption in the power saving mode, and further enable the touch processing device to use a power source smaller than that in the power saving mode. Power supply used in normal mode.

This embodiment allows the touch processing device to operate in the power saving mode. The power used is less than the power used in normal mode.

在上述實施例的一變化中，於該省電模式下只偵測單指觸控的手勢，於該正常模式下偵測多指觸控的手勢。據此，因為減少了觸控處理裝置的運算量，本實施例可以讓該觸控處理裝置在該省電模式時所使用的電源功率小於在正常模式時所使用的電源功率。 In a variation of the above embodiment, only a single-finger touch gesture is detected in the power saving mode, and a multi-finger touch gesture is detected in the normal mode. According to this, because the calculation amount of the touch processing device is reduced, this embodiment can make the power of the touch processing device in the power saving mode smaller than the power of the power in the normal mode.

在上述實施例的一變化中，於該省電模式下提供至該些觸控電極的觸控信號之最高電壓，小於該正常模式下提供至該些觸控電極的觸控信號之最高電壓。據此，無論是使用自電容偵測或互電容偵測等方法，因為減少了自該些觸控電極感測觸控事件所必須消耗的電源，本實施例可以讓該觸控處理裝置在該省電模式時所使用的電源功率小於在正常模式時所使用的電源功率。 In a variation of the above embodiment, the highest voltage of the touch signals provided to the touch electrodes in the power saving mode is smaller than the highest voltage of the touch signals provided to the touch electrodes in the normal mode.

請參考圖4所示，其為根據本發明一實施例的一電子系統400的系統架構圖。該電子系統400包含一可選的觸控筆110、一觸控面板或螢幕420、連接該觸控面板120的一觸控處理裝置430、連接該觸控處理裝置430的一主機440以及一周邊處理裝置470。關於該觸控筆110與該觸控面板120的介紹，請參見圖1相關實施例的部分。 Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a system architecture diagram of an electronic system 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electronic system 400 includes an optional stylus pen 110, a touch panel or screen 420, a touch processing device 430 connected to the touch panel 120, a host 440 connected to the touch processing device 430, and a peripheral device. Processing device 470. For the introduction of the stylus pen 110 and the touch panel 120, please refer to the relevant embodiment of FIG. 1.

該觸控處理裝置430可以透過一第一標準工業介面431與一第一通用輸出入(GPIO,general purpose input/output)介面432連接至該主機440，還可以透過一第二通用輸出入(GPIO,general purpose input/output)介面433連接至該周邊處理裝置470。第一標準工業介面431可以是USB、I²C、UART、PCI、PCI-Express、SATA、ATA之類的介面。在該主機440的系統啟動之後，該觸控處理裝置430可以利用第一電極121與第二電極122偵測在觸控面板420之上的觸控筆110與/或如手指之類的外部導電物件，並且透過該第一標準工業介面431將觸控事件報告給該主機440、該主機440所執行的作業系統或應用程式。 The touch processing device 430 may be connected to the host 440 through a first standard industrial interface 431 and a first general purpose input / output (GPIO) interface 432, and may also be connected through a second general purpose input / output (GPIO A general purpose input / output interface 433 is connected to the peripheral processing device 470. The first standard industrial interface 431 may be an interface such as USB, I ² C, UART, PCI, PCI-Express, SATA, or ATA. After the system of the host 440 is started, the touch processing device 430 may use the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 to detect the stylus pen 110 on the touch panel 420 and / or an external conductive device such as a finger. Object, and report the touch event to the host 440, an operating system or an application program executed by the host 440 through the first standard industrial interface 431.

上述的觸控事件可以包含觸控種類，是由筆進行觸控，或是由手指進行觸控。還可以包含一個以上的觸控位置、一個以上的觸控軌跡編號。如果是觸控筆的話，可以包含筆上各感測器的狀態，例如壓力值與按鈕的狀態等。上述的觸控事件還可以包含觸控手勢種類，例如是兩指縮放手勢，兩指旋轉手勢，三指平行移動手勢。 The above-mentioned touch event may include a touch type, which is touched by a pen or touched by a finger. It can also include more than one touch position and more than one touch track number. If it is a stylus, it can include the state of each sensor on the pen, such as the pressure value and the state of a button. The above touch events may also include types of touch gestures, such as two-finger zoom gestures, two-finger rotation gestures, and three-finger parallel movement gestures.

該觸控處理裝置430會將該觸控事件進行編碼，再將編碼後的內容作為實體傳輸層的封包，透過第一標準工業介面431傳輸到該主機。換言之，該觸控處理裝置430會實作一個軟硬體的堆疊(stack)，將上述觸控事件傳送到該主機440。該主機440部分也會有一個對應的軟硬體堆疊，將該觸控事件解譯出來，並且處理該觸控事件。例如將其轉發至對應的應用程式軟體，或是觸發某一個系統熱鍵等。無論是利用堆疊進行編碼或解碼，兩者均需要耗費處理器的處理時間。特別是主機440的中央處理器必須負責執行控制該電子系統400的作業系統，每秒鐘處理多次的輸入中斷事件會造成相當大的負擔。 The touch processing device 430 encodes the touch event, and then uses the encoded content as a packet of a physical transmission layer, and transmits the encoded content to the host through the first standard industrial interface 431. In other words, the touch processing device 430 implements a stack of software and hardware, and transmits the touch events to the host 440. The host 440 part also has a corresponding software and hardware stack, interprets the touch event, and processes the touch event. For example, forward it to the corresponding application software, or trigger a system hotkey. Whether encoding or decoding is performed using a stack, both require processor processing time. In particular, the central processing unit of the host 440 must be responsible for executing the operating system controlling the electronic system 400. Processing input interrupt events multiple times per second will cause a considerable burden.

某些觸控事件或手勢是用來觸發某些硬體的功能，這些觸控事件或手勢所相對應的觸控位置是可以忽略的。舉例來說，某些特定觸控事件或手勢是用來調整螢幕的亮度，另一些特定觸控事件或手勢用來調整揚聲器的音量，某一些特定觸控事件或手勢用來啟動拍照/錄影模式與拍照，還有一些特定觸控事件或手勢用來啟閉麥克風或開關光碟機的托盤，更有一些特定觸控事件或手勢用來令電子系統400進入或離開省電模式。這些功能均無涉於觸控事件或手勢所相對應的觸控位置，可以透過第一通用輸出入介面432與/或第二通用輸出入介面433發出簡單的電路信號通知主機 440與/或周邊處理裝置470。周邊處理裝置470可以是視訊控制器、音訊控制器、相機控制器、或光碟機控制器等。 Some touch events or gestures are used to trigger certain hardware functions. The touch positions corresponding to these touch events or gestures can be ignored. For example, certain specific touch events or gestures are used to adjust the brightness of the screen, other specific touch events or gestures are used to adjust the volume of the speaker, and some specific touch events or gestures are used to activate the camera / video mode. With regard to photographing, there are some specific touch events or gestures used to turn on or off the microphone or the tray of the optical disc drive, and some specific touch events or gestures used to cause the electronic system 400 to enter or leave the power saving mode. These functions are not related to the touch position corresponding to the touch event or gesture, and can send a simple circuit signal to the host through the first universal input / output interface 432 and / or the second universal input / output interface 433. 440 and / or peripheral processing device 470. The peripheral processing device 470 may be a video controller, an audio controller, a camera controller, an optical disc drive controller, or the like.

當主機440透過第一通用輸出入介面432收到電路信號之後，主機440可以無需處理複雜的軟硬體堆疊，即可單純利用硬體電路令電子系統400進入或離開省電模式，處理速度較快。 After the host 440 receives the circuit signal through the first universal input / output interface 432, the host 440 can simply use the hardware circuit to make the electronic system 400 enter or leave the power-saving mode without processing complicated software and hardware stacks. fast.

周邊處理裝置470透過一第二標準工業介面471連接至該主機440。該第二標準工業介面471可以是USB、I²C、UART、PCI、PCI-Express、SATA、ATA之類的介面。如果觸控處理裝置430未透過第二通用輸出入介面433連接至該周邊處理裝置470，按照正常的處理程序，觸控處理裝置430會透過上述的軟硬體堆疊，將特定觸控事件或手勢傳送至主機440。而主機再透過第二標準工業介面471的第二個堆疊，將該特定觸控事件或手勢所代表的指令傳送至該周邊處理裝置470。舉例來說，上述的指令可以用來調整螢幕的亮度、揚聲器的音量、啟動拍照/錄影模式與拍照、啟閉麥克風或開關光碟機的托盤等。由於需要透過兩個標準工業界面431與471的軟硬體堆疊，這種處理程序要占用主機440的計算資源。而且主機440與周邊處理裝置470必須處於正常運作的狀態，無法在省電模式之下運作。 The peripheral processing device 470 is connected to the host 440 through a second standard industrial interface 471. The second standard industrial interface 471 may be an interface such as USB, I ² C, UART, PCI, PCI-Express, SATA, or ATA. If the touch processing device 430 is not connected to the peripheral processing device 470 through the second general-purpose input / output interface 433, according to the normal processing procedure, the touch processing device 430 will use the software and hardware stack described above to assign specific touch events or gestures. Transfer to host 440. The host then transmits the instruction represented by the specific touch event or gesture to the peripheral processing device 470 through the second stack of the second standard industrial interface 471. For example, the above instructions can be used to adjust the brightness of the screen, the volume of the speaker, activate the camera / video mode and take a picture, open or close the microphone, or turn on or off the tray of the optical drive. Since the hardware and software stacks of the two standard industrial interfaces 431 and 471 need to be stacked, such a processing program consumes the computing resources of the host 440. In addition, the host 440 and the peripheral processing device 470 must be in a normal operating state and cannot operate in the power saving mode.

在前述的實施例中，當該觸控處理裝置430偵測到特定觸控事件或手勢時，即透過第二通用輸出入介面433通知該周邊處理裝置470。無論該周邊處理裝置470是否處於省電模式，均可以利用特定的硬體電路執行該特定觸控事件或手勢所對應的指令。 In the foregoing embodiment, when the touch processing device 430 detects a specific touch event or gesture, the peripheral processing device 470 is notified through the second general-purpose input / output interface 433. Regardless of whether the peripheral processing device 470 is in a power saving mode, a specific hardware circuit can be used to execute instructions corresponding to the specific touch event or gesture.

該第一與第二通用輸出入介面432與433可以包含一條以上的通用輸出入電路。每一條通用輸出入電路所傳送的信號可以包含兩個以上的邏輯狀態。該第一與第二通用輸出入介面432與433可以是單向，由觸控處理裝置430分別提供電路信號至該主機440與該周邊處理裝置470。該第一與第二通用輸出入介面432與433也可以是雙向，由觸控處理裝置430分別提供電路信號至該主機440與該周邊處理裝置470之後，再由該主機440與該周邊處理裝置470提供認知(ACK,acknowledgement)信號確認已經收到信號。 The first and second universal I / O interfaces 432 and 433 may include more than one universal I / O circuit. The signal transmitted by each general-purpose input / output circuit can include two Logic state. The first and second universal I / O interfaces 432 and 433 may be unidirectional, and the touch processing device 430 provides circuit signals to the host 440 and the peripheral processing device 470, respectively. The first and second universal I / O interfaces 432 and 433 may also be bidirectional. After the touch processing device 430 provides circuit signals to the host 440 and the peripheral processing device 470, respectively, the host 440 and the peripheral processing device 470 provides an acknowledgement (ACK, acknowledgement) signal to confirm that the signal has been received.

在圖4的實施例中，觸控處理裝置430具有該第一與第二通用輸出入介面432與433，分別連到該主機440與該周邊處理裝置470。因此，觸控處理裝置430需要有兩組通用輸出入介面的針腳或接頭。如果需要以通用輸出入介面連接多個周邊處理裝置470時，就需要多組通用輸出入介面。舉例而言，假設要同時連接五個周邊處理裝置470與主機440時，需要六組通用輸出入介面，至少需要六個通用輸出入連接埠(GPIO port)、針腳或接頭。 In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the touch processing device 430 has the first and second general-purpose input / output interfaces 432 and 433 and is connected to the host 440 and the peripheral processing device 470 respectively. Therefore, the touch processing device 430 needs to have two sets of pins or connectors for the universal input / output interface. If multiple peripheral processing devices 470 need to be connected with a universal input / output interface, multiple sets of universal input / output interfaces are required. For example, if five peripheral processing devices 470 and the host 440 are to be connected at the same time, six sets of general-purpose input / output interfaces are required, and at least six general-purpose input / output ports (GPIO ports), pins, or connectors are required.

請參考圖5所示，其為根據本發明一實施例的一電子系統500的系統架構圖。該電子系統500包含了觸控處理裝置530與多個相同或不同的周邊處理裝置470-1~n，其可以分別透過標準工業介面471-1~n來連接到主機440。為了解決耗用過多通用輸出入連接埠的問題，圖5只使用一組通用輸出入介面532，利用分線的方式連接到主機440與/或周邊處理裝置470-1~n。舉例而言，當要同時連接五個周邊處理裝置470與主機440時，該通用輸出入介面532可以包含三個通用輸出入連接埠(GPIO port)。每個通用輸出入連接埠可以傳送兩個可能邏輯狀態的電路信號。由於該通用輸出入介面532可以輸出八種可能的數位信號值，因此可以分配六種數位信號值至主機440與/或周邊處理裝置470-1~n。當主機440與/或周邊處理裝置470-1~n收到相應的數位信號值時，才執行該數位信號值相應的指令。當主機440與/或周邊處理裝置 470-1~n收到不相應的數位信號值時，並不需要執行任何動作。 Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a system architecture diagram of an electronic system 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electronic system 500 includes a touch processing device 530 and a plurality of identical or different peripheral processing devices 470-1 ~ n, which can be connected to the host 440 through standard industrial interfaces 471-1 ~ n, respectively. In order to solve the problem of consuming too many general-purpose I / O ports, FIG. 5 only uses a group of general-purpose I / O interfaces 532, and is connected to the host 440 and / or peripheral processing devices 470-1 ~ n by using a branch line. For example, when five peripheral processing devices 470 and the host 440 are to be connected at the same time, the general-purpose input / output interface 532 may include three general-purpose input / output ports (GPIO ports). Each universal I / O port can transmit circuit signals of two possible logic states. Since the universal I / O interface 532 can output eight possible digital signal values, six digital signal values can be allocated to the host 440 and / or peripheral processing devices 470-1 ~ n. When the host 440 and / or the peripheral processing devices 470-1 ~ n receive the corresponding digital signal value, the instruction corresponding to the digital signal value is executed. When host 440 and / or peripheral processing device 470-1 ~ n do not need to perform any action when receiving the corresponding digital signal value.

在一實施例中，還可以分配一個數位信號值作為認知(ACK,acknowledgement)信號，以供該主機440與/或周邊處理裝置470-1~n回送至該觸控處理裝置430確認已經收到信號。當該觸控處理裝置430在一段時間內未確認已經收到信號時，該觸控處理裝置430可以重複發送該數位信號值。 In an embodiment, a digital signal value may also be assigned as an acknowledgement (ACK, acknowledgement) signal for the host 440 and / or peripheral processing devices 470-1 ~ n to send back to the touch processing device 430 to confirm that they have received signal. When the touch processing device 430 does not confirm that a signal has been received within a period of time, the touch processing device 430 may repeatedly send the digital signal value.

在圖4與圖5的實施例當中，該觸控處理裝置430、該主機440與該周邊處理裝置470在運作時，可以分別處於省電模式，也可以分別處於正常運作模式。本發明並不限定該觸控處理裝置430、該主機440與該周邊處理裝置470的運行模式。該觸控處理裝置430透過通用輸出入介面傳送該電路信號時，該電路信號可以與時脈信號同步，也可以與時脈信號不同步。本發明並不限定通用輸出入介面所傳送的電路信號或認知信號是否與時脈信號同步。 In the embodiments of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the touch processing device 430, the host 440, and the peripheral processing device 470 may be respectively in a power saving mode or a normal operation mode when they are operating. The present invention does not limit the operation modes of the touch processing device 430, the host 440, and the peripheral processing device 470. When the touch processing device 430 transmits the circuit signal through the universal input / output interface, the circuit signal may be synchronized with the clock signal, or may be asynchronous with the clock signal. The present invention does not limit whether the circuit signal or the cognitive signal transmitted by the universal I / O interface is synchronized with the clock signal.
