If the sensed fingerprint information is consistent with the pre-stored fingerprint information, the booting is performed correspondingly. The functions of unlocking, paying, and directly calling a predetermined application; if the sensed fingerprint information is inconsistent with the pre-stored fingerprint information, the function is not performed. The predetermined application program is, for example, Weibo, WeChat, etc., and the predetermined application program can be directly invoked when the electronic device 100 is in a standby state, a lock screen, or the like.
再或者,以所述电容式感测***10为触摸感测***为例,所述触摸感测***用于感测触摸操作,若感测到目标物体1的触摸或接近,则对应执行触发功能,如触发电子设备100内的一预定装置开始工作或者是开始执行另一工作。Or, taking the capacitive sensing system 10 as an example of a touch sensing system, the touch sensing system is configured to sense a touch operation, and if a touch or proximity of the target object 1 is sensed, a trigger function is performed correspondingly.

For example, the capacitive sensing system 10 first performs a touch sensing function. When the touch operation is sensed, the touch sensing function is switched to perform a fingerprint sensing function, and the target object 1 is sensed. The fingerprint, if the sensed fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, performs corresponding functions correspondingly. After the fingerprint sensing is correct or after the fingerprint detection is unsuccessful, the capacitive sensing system 10 switches to the touch sensing function to achieve the effect of saving power.

Therefore, the charge and discharge electric quantity of the parasitic capacitance C1 between the ground end 13a and the sensor board 11 is made zero, and accordingly, the parasitic capacitance C1 is equivalent to zero. Further, the superimposing effect of the parasitic capacitance C1 on the capacitance between the sensor board 11 and the target object 1 is eliminated, so that the sensing accuracy can be further improved.

优选地,每一电容感测极板11a形成一自电容。当目标物体1触摸或接近所述电容感测极板11a时,所述电容感测极板11a附近的电场改变,相应地,所述电容感测极板11a的自电容改变。自电容检测即是检测电容感测极板11a由于目标物体1(例如指纹)的输入而导致的自电容变化。Preferably, each of the capacitive sensing plates 11a forms a self-capacitance. When the target object 1 touches or approaches the capacitive sensing plate 11a, the electric field in the vicinity of the capacitive sensing plate 11a changes, and accordingly, the self-capacitance of the capacitive sensing plate 11a changes. The self-capacitance detection is to detect a change in self-capacitance caused by the input of the capacitive sensing plate 11a due to the target object 1 (for example, a fingerprint).
以所述电容式感测***10为指纹感测***、目标物体1对应为手指为例,当手指与所述传感器板11之间稳定耦合时,传感器板11上电压的变化,则传感器板11和手指之间的电容所存储的电量发生 变化,通过检测这个电量变化量,就可以测出电容的大小。由于传感器板11和接地端13a上的电压基本同步变化,传感器板11和接地端13a之间的电压差保持不变,则寄生电容C1没有充放电,从而其等效电容为零。这样,电容检测电路13所检测到的电荷基本都是由传感器板11和手指直接构成的电容的电压变化而引起的,减少了寄生电容C1的影响。Taking the capacitive sensing system 10 as a fingerprint sensing system and the target object 1 as a finger, when the finger is stably coupled with the sensor board 11, the voltage on the sensor board 11 changes, and the sensor board 11 The amount of electricity stored by the capacitor between the finger and the finger occurs Change, by detecting the amount of change in the amount of electricity, you can measure the size of the capacitor. Since the voltage on the sensor board 11 and the ground terminal 13a changes substantially synchronously, the voltage difference between the sensor board 11 and the ground terminal 13a remains unchanged, and the parasitic capacitance C1 is not charged and discharged, so that its equivalent capacitance is zero. Thus, the electric charge detected by the capacitance detecting circuit 13 is basically caused by the voltage change of the capacitance directly formed by the sensor board 11 and the finger, and the influence of the parasitic capacitance C1 is reduced.
进一步地,当接地端13a上施加的第一调制信号幅度越大,则传感器板11与手指之间的电压变化越大,对应地,传感器板11与手指构成的电容的电荷变化越大,所述电容检测电路13检测到的电荷量变化越大。如果噪声不变,则电容检测电路13检测到的来自传感器板11所输出的感测信号的信噪比将线性增加。所以,提高施加在接地端13a上的第一调制信号的幅度峰峰值,会增加所述电容检测***10的信噪比,比如提高到10V,15V,甚至20V。Further, the greater the amplitude of the first modulation signal applied on the ground terminal 13a, the greater the voltage change between the sensor board 11 and the finger, and correspondingly, the greater the change in the charge of the capacitor formed by the sensor board 11 and the finger. The change in the amount of charge detected by the capacitance detecting circuit 13 is larger. If the noise does not change, the signal-to-noise ratio detected by the capacitance detecting circuit 13 from the sensing signal output from the sensor board 11 will increase linearly. Therefore, increasing the amplitude peak-to-peak value of the first modulation signal applied to the ground terminal 13a increases the signal-to-noise ratio of the capacitance detecting system 10, for example, to 10V, 15V, or even 20V.

FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the capacitance detecting circuit 13 of FIG. The capacitance detecting circuit 13 further includes a plurality of sensing units 13c and a plurality of selecting units 13d. Each of the sensing units 13c is connected to the plurality of capacitive sensing plates 11a through a selection unit 13d. The selecting unit 13d is configured to control the number of electrical connection between the capacitive sensing plate 11a and the sensing unit 13 when the capacitance detecting circuit 13 operates. In the present embodiment, each selection unit 13d includes a switch S (not shown). The switch S is respectively connected to the sensing unit 13c and at least one capacitive sensing plate 11a.
当所述电容检测电路13提供第一激励信号给所述电容感测电极11a时,通过所述选择单元13d,可选择每一感测单元13c与相连接的电容感测极板11a均电导通,从而,使得所述第一激励信号同时输出给所有电容感测极板11a。然,在其它实施方式中,也可通过所述选择单元13d,每次只控制部分电容感测极板11a与所述多个感测单元13c电导通,如此,通过多次选择之后,每一感测单元13c与相连接的电容感测极板11a均电导通过,从而,使得所述第一激励信号分 时输出给所述多个电容感测极板11a。When the capacitance detecting circuit 13 supplies the first excitation signal to the capacitance sensing electrode 11a, each of the sensing unit 13c and the connected capacitive sensing plate 11a can be selectively electrically connected through the selecting unit 13d. Thereby, the first excitation signal is simultaneously output to all of the capacitance sensing plates 11a. However, in other embodiments, only the part of the capacitive sensing plate 11a and the plurality of sensing units 13c are electrically connected to each other through the selecting unit 13d, and thus, after multiple selections, each The sensing unit 13c and the connected capacitive sensing plates 11a are both electrically conducted, thereby causing the first excitation signal to be divided. It is output to the plurality of capacitive sensing plates 11a.
当所述电容检测电路13接收所述多个电容感测极板11a输出的感测信号时,通过所述选择单元13d,每次只控制每一感测单元13c分别与一电容感测极板11a电连接,来接收感测信号。如此,通过多次控制,获得所有电容感测极板11a输出的感测信号。然,在其它实施方式中,也可每次控制每一感测单元13c分别与多个(如2个)电容感测极板11a电连接,来接收感测信号。相应地,所述电容检测电路13通过接收到的感测信号获得目标物体1的预定信息。When the capacitance detecting circuit 13 receives the sensing signals output by the plurality of capacitive sensing plates 11a, each of the sensing units 13c and each of the capacitive sensing plates are controlled by the selecting unit 13d. 11a is electrically connected to receive the sensing signal. Thus, the sensing signals output by all of the capacitive sensing plates 11a are obtained by multiple control. However, in other embodiments, each sensing unit 13c may be electrically connected to a plurality of (eg, two) capacitive sensing pads 11a each time to receive a sensing signal.

请参阅图6,图6为图5所示感测单元13c的电路结构示意图。所述感测单元13c包括运算放大器131、反馈支路133、和计算单元135。所述运算放大器131包括同相端a、反相端b、和输出端d。所述反馈支路133连接于反相端b与输出端d之间。所述计算单元135与所述输出端d连接。所述反馈支路133包括一反馈电容Cf,所述反馈电容Cf连接于反相端b与输出端d之间。Please refer to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the circuit structure of the sensing unit 13c shown in FIG. The sensing unit 13c includes an operational amplifier 131, a feedback branch 133, and a calculation unit 135. The operational amplifier 131 includes an in-phase terminal a, an inverting terminal b, and an output terminal d. The feedback branch 133 is connected between the inverting terminal b and the output terminal d. The calculation unit 135 is connected to the output terminal d. The feedback branch 133 includes a feedback capacitor Cf connected between the inverting terminal b and the output terminal d.
所述运算放大器131的同相端a接收一参考电压Vref。所述参考电压Vref由一参考电压产生电路19提供。需要说明的是,所述参考电压产生电路19可为所述电容检测***10中的一电路,也可为所述电子设备100中的另一电路。所述运算放大器131的反相端b则通过所述选择单元13d与电容感测极板11a连接。所述运算放大器131进一步与所述电源端13b和接地端13a分别电连接。The non-inverting terminal a of the operational amplifier 131 receives a reference voltage Vref. The reference voltage Vref is supplied from a reference voltage generating circuit 19. It should be noted that the reference voltage generating circuit 19 may be one circuit in the capacitance detecting system 10 or another circuit in the electronic device 100. The inverting terminal b of the operational amplifier 131 is connected to the capacitive sensing plate 11a via the selection unit 13d. The operational amplifier 131 is further electrically connected to the power terminal 13b and the ground terminal 13a, respectively.
当电容检测电路13工作时,所述运算放大器131处于虚短状态,即同相端13a与反相端13b相当于短接,二者电位相同,即同相端a的电位也为参考电压Vref。进一步地,所述参考电压Vref随接地端13a所接收到的第一调制信号的变化而变化。从而,当接地端13a输出第一调制信号给运算放大器131时,同相端a与反相端b的电位随第一调制信号的变化而变化,相应地,与运算放大器131的反相端b电导通的电容感测极板11a则接收到的第一激励信号随第一调制信号的变化而变化。When the capacitance detecting circuit 13 is in operation, the operational amplifier 131 is in a virtual short state, that is, the non-inverting terminal 13a and the inverting terminal 13b are short-circuited, and the potentials of the two are the same, that is, the potential of the non-inverting terminal a is also the reference voltage Vref. Further, the reference voltage Vref varies with the change of the first modulation signal received by the ground terminal 13a. Therefore, when the ground terminal 13a outputs the first modulation signal to the operational amplifier 131, the potentials of the in-phase terminal a and the inverting terminal b vary with the change of the first modulation signal, and accordingly, conductance with the inverting terminal b of the operational amplifier 131. The first excitation signal received by the capacitive sensing plate 11a changes as the first modulation signal changes.
当目标物体1接近或触摸所述电容感测极板11a时,则发生的电 荷变化通过与反相端b相连接的反馈电容Cf传输给计算单元135。所述计算单元135根据电荷变化情况对应获得目标物体1的预定信息。在本实施例中,是以电荷变化来计算预定信息的,在其它实施方式中,也可通过计算电压变化来获得预定信息。When the target object 1 approaches or touches the capacitive sensing plate 11a, the electricity that occurs The charge change is transmitted to the calculation unit 135 through the feedback capacitance Cf connected to the inverting terminal b. The calculation unit 135 correspondingly obtains predetermined information of the target object 1 according to the charge change condition. In the present embodiment, the predetermined information is calculated with the change in charge, and in other embodiments, the predetermined information can also be obtained by calculating the voltage change.
以所述电容式感测***10为指纹感测***为例,每个电容感测极板11a都可以检测手指与其相耦合的电容的大小。手指指纹存在脊和谷,脊相比谷更靠近所述传感器板11,因而电容更大;谷相比脊更远离所述传感器板11,因而电容更小。根据电容感测极板11a与手指指纹形成电容的大小,可以检测每一电容感测极板11a所对应区域上的指纹的脊和谷。Taking the capacitive sensing system 10 as a fingerprint sensing system as an example, each of the capacitive sensing plates 11a can detect the size of a capacitor to which a finger is coupled. The finger prints have ridges and valleys that are closer to the sensor plate 11 than the valleys, and thus have a larger capacitance; the valleys are further away from the sensor plate 11 than the ridges, and thus have a smaller capacitance. According to the size of the capacitive sensing plate 11a and the finger fingerprint forming capacitance, the ridges and valleys of the fingerprint on the area corresponding to each of the capacitive sensing plates 11a can be detected.
为了更准确的读取指纹信息,通常传感器板11设计成阵列状,一个电容感测极板11a中心与其邻近的电容感测极板11a中心的距离大约为50um。为了达到这样的精度,通常采用半导体工艺直接在集成电路上实现传感器板11和电容检测电路13。为了便于设计,又把控制电路15和电容检测电路13分开,分别设计成控制芯片和电容检测芯片,其中电容检测芯片包括传感器板11和电容检测电路13。通常手指在十数毫米范围,这样一个手指,通常对应多个电容感测极板11a。为了减少成本,节约空间,即使放置多个电容感测极板11a,其数量亦相当有限,例如为160×64个电容感测极板11a,其面积约为8mm×3.2mm。而手指面积通常远大于传感器板11的面积。手指和传感器板11形成的电场示意图如图7所示。In order to read the fingerprint information more accurately, the sensor boards 11 are usually designed in an array, and the center of one of the capacitive sensing plates 11a is at a distance of about 50 μm from the center of the adjacent capacitive sensing plate 11a. In order to achieve such accuracy, the sensor board 11 and the capacitance detecting circuit 13 are usually implemented directly on the integrated circuit using a semiconductor process. For the convenience of design, the control circuit 15 and the capacitance detecting circuit 13 are separately separated, and are respectively designed as a control chip and a capacitance detecting chip. The capacitance detecting chip includes a sensor board 11 and a capacitance detecting circuit 13. Usually the finger is in the range of a few ten millimeters, such a finger, usually corresponding to a plurality of capacitive sensing plates 11a. In order to reduce the cost and save space, even if a plurality of capacitive sensing plates 11a are placed, the number thereof is rather limited, for example, 160 × 64 capacitive sensing plates 11a having an area of about 8 mm × 3.2 mm. The finger area is usually much larger than the area of the sensor board 11. A schematic diagram of the electric field formed by the finger and the sensor board 11 is shown in FIG.
请参阅图7,图7为所述传感器板11与手指之间的电场线分布示意图。根据电场分布的物理规律,所述传感器板11周边的电容感测极板11a与所述目标物体1之间的电场不同于所述传感器板11中间的电容感测极板11a与所述目标物体1之间的电场。由图7可见,中间的电场分布比较均匀,而周边的电场是发散的,由此造成获取的指纹信息在边缘会有失真现象。Please refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of electric field line distribution between the sensor board 11 and a finger. According to the physical law of the electric field distribution, the electric field between the capacitive sensing plate 11a and the target object 1 around the sensor board 11 is different from the capacitive sensing plate 11a and the target object in the middle of the sensor board 11.

优选地,所述第二激励信号随所述第二调制信号的变化而变化,用以减小所述传感器板与所述接地端之间寄生电容的充放电电量。Preferably, the second excitation signal varies with the change of the second modulation signal to reduce the charge and discharge power of the parasitic capacitance between the sensor board and the ground.
所述第二调制信号、第二激励信号均为电压信号,优选地,所述第二激励信号的电压随所述第二调制信号的电压的升高而升高、随所述第二调制信号的电压的降低而降低,或者所述第二激励信号的电压随所述第一电源信号的电压的升高而升高、随所述第一电源信号的电压的降低而降低。 The second modulation signal and the second excitation signal are both voltage signals. Preferably, the voltage of the second excitation signal increases as the voltage of the second modulation signal increases, and the second modulation signal The voltage is lowered by a decrease, or the voltage of the second excitation signal increases as the voltage of the first power signal increases, and decreases as the voltage of the first power signal decreases.

所述第二调制信号至少包括第四电平与第五电平,其中,第四电平的电压不同于第五电平的电压。The second modulation signal includes at least a fourth level and a fifth level, wherein the voltage of the fourth level is different from the voltage of the fifth level.
更进一步地,发明人通过大量研究发现问题:接地端13a和电子设备100的***地,如接地端15a,之间还存在寄生电容C2(见图1),当激励接地端13a时,同时会激励这个寄生电容C2,当寄生电容C2比较大,激励频率比较高时,则会产生较大的功耗。发明人通过大量的创造性的劳动发现,可以通过如下方式来降低功耗。Further, the inventors have found through a large number of studies that the grounding terminal 13a and the system ground of the electronic device 100, such as the grounding terminal 15a, also have a parasitic capacitance C2 (see FIG. 1), and when the grounding terminal 13a is excited, Exciting this parasitic capacitance C2, when the parasitic capacitance C2 is relatively large and the excitation frequency is relatively high, a large power consumption is generated. Through a large number of creative labor discoveries, the inventors can reduce power consumption by the following means.
所述电容式感测***10工作时,先执行第二检测模式,当所述电容式感测***感测到的目标物体的预定操作时,才启动第一检测模式或切换第二检测模式为第一检测模式进行检测操作,其中,第二检测模式相较于第一检测模式节省功耗。When the capacitive sensing system 10 is in operation, the second detecting mode is first executed, and when the capacitive sensing system senses a predetermined operation of the target object, the first detecting mode is started or the second detecting mode is switched to The first detection mode performs a detection operation, wherein the second detection mode saves power compared to the first detection mode.
相应地,所述第二激励信号随所述第二调制信号的变化而变化,除用以减小所述传感器板11与所述接地端13a之间寄生电容C1的充放电电量,还可进一步用以减小电容式感测***10的功耗。Correspondingly, the second excitation signal changes according to the change of the second modulation signal, and may further reduce the charge and discharge power of the parasitic capacitance C1 between the sensor board 11 and the ground end 13a. It is used to reduce the power consumption of the capacitive sensing system 10.
优选地,第二激励信号的频率小于第一激励信号的频率,或/和第二激励信号的电压峰峰值小于第一激励信号的电压峰峰值,从而达到减小功耗的目的。Preferably, the frequency of the second excitation signal is smaller than the frequency of the first excitation signal, and/or the voltage peak-to-peak value of the second excitation signal is smaller than the voltage peak-to-peak value of the first excitation signal, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing power consumption.
对应地,第二调制信号的频率小于第一调制信号的频率,或/和第二调制信号的电压峰峰值小于第一调制信号的电压峰峰值,从而还可进一步减小功耗。例如,以第一检测模式为指纹感测模式、第二检测模式为触摸检测模式为例进行说明。当所述电容式感测***10处 于触摸检测模式时,所述电容检测电路13用于驱动所述传感器板11执行触摸检测操作,感测目标物体1对所述传感器板11的触摸;当所述电容式感测***10处于指纹检测模式时,所述电容检测电路13用于驱动所述传感器板11执行指纹检测操作,感测目标物体1的指纹。Correspondingly, the frequency of the second modulation signal is smaller than the frequency of the first modulation signal, or/and the voltage peak-to-peak value of the second modulation signal is smaller than the voltage peak-to-peak value of the first modulation signal, so that power consumption can be further reduced. For example, the first detection mode is the fingerprint sensing mode, and the second detection mode is the touch detection mode as an example. When the capacitive sensing system 10 is In the touch detection mode, the capacitance detecting circuit 13 is configured to drive the sensor board 11 to perform a touch detection operation, sensing a touch of the target object 1 on the sensor board 11; when the capacitive sensing system 10 is in a fingerprint In the detection mode, the capacitance detecting circuit 13 is configured to drive the sensor board 11 to perform a fingerprint detecting operation to sense the fingerprint of the target object 1.
所述电容检测电路13通过量测传感器板11与目标物体1之间的电容来感测触摸操作,检测时:先进行触摸检测,检测到有触摸发生时,再启动指纹检测或切换触摸检测为指纹检测,以达到节省功耗的目的。The capacitance detecting circuit 13 senses a touch operation by measuring a capacitance between the sensor board 11 and the target object 1. When detecting: first performing touch detection, detecting that a touch occurs, then starting fingerprint detection or switching touch detection is Fingerprint detection to save power.
具体地,所述电容检测电路13判断所述传感器板11是否被触摸;Specifically, the capacitance detecting circuit 13 determines whether the sensor board 11 is touched;
若是,则切换提供第二调制信号为第一调制信号给所述接地端13a、切换提供第二激励信号为第一激励信号给所述传感器板11,来执行指纹感测;If yes, switching to provide a second modulated signal to the ground terminal 13a, and switching to provide a second excitation signal to the sensor board 11 to perform fingerprint sensing;
若否,则提供第二调制信号给所述接地端13a、提供第二激励信号给所述传感器板11,来执行触摸感测。当所述电容式感测***10处于触摸检测模式时,对所述第二调制信号、第二激励信号这二者其中之一或全部采用1V电压峰峰值,用于检测是否有触摸发生,例如,第二激励信号的电压峰峰值为1V,第二调制信号的电压峰峰值为1V;当容式感测***10处于指纹检测模式时,对第一调制信号、第一激励信号这二者其中之一或全部采用10V电压峰峰值,用于检测指纹,例如,第一激励信号的电压峰峰值为10V,第一调制信号的电压峰峰值为10V。从而,达到减小所述电容式感测***10的功耗的目的,相应地,具有所述电容式感测***10的电子设备100的功耗也较小。If not, a second modulation signal is provided to the ground terminal 13a, and a second excitation signal is supplied to the sensor board 11 to perform touch sensing. When the capacitive sensing system 10 is in the touch detection mode, a voltage peak-to-peak value of 1 V is applied to one or both of the second modulation signal and the second excitation signal for detecting whether a touch occurs, for example, The voltage peak-to-peak value of the second excitation signal is 1V, and the voltage peak-to-peak value of the second modulation signal is 1V; when the capacitive sensing system 10 is in the fingerprint detection mode, the first modulation signal and the first excitation signal are both One or all of the voltage peaks and peaks of 10V are used for detecting the fingerprint. For example, the voltage peak-to-peak value of the first excitation signal is 10V, and the voltage peak-to-peak value of the first modulation signal is 10V. Thus, for the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the capacitive sensing system 10, correspondingly, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 having the capacitive sensing system 10 is also small.
另外,优选地,所述第一激励信号与所述第二激励信号均为周期性变化的信号,其中,第一激励信号的频率大于第二激励信号的频率。对应地,第一调制信号与第二调制信号均为周期性变化的信号,其中,第一调制信号的频率大于第二调制信号的频率。在执行触摸检测时,第二激励信号与第二调制信号的频率如为100KHz。在执行指纹检测 时,第一激励信号与第一调制信号的频率如为1MHz。从而,使得所述电容式感测***10的功耗进一步减小。In addition, preferably, the first excitation signal and the second excitation signal are both periodically changing signals, wherein the frequency of the first excitation signal is greater than the frequency of the second excitation signal. Correspondingly, the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal are both periodically changing signals, wherein the frequency of the first modulated signal is greater than the frequency of the second modulated signal. When the touch detection is performed, the frequencies of the second excitation signal and the second modulation signal are, for example, 100 kHz. Performing fingerprint detection The frequency of the first excitation signal and the first modulation signal is, for example, 1 MHz. Thereby, the power consumption of the capacitive sensing system 10 is further reduced.
当电容式感测***10处于触摸检测模式时,仅仅检测触摸是否发生,不需要像指纹识别那么高的分辨率,因此,多个电容感测极板11a甚至所有的电容感测极板11a可以连接到一起进行检测。When the capacitive sensing system 10 is in the touch detection mode, only detecting whether a touch occurs does not require a high resolution like fingerprint recognition, and therefore, the plurality of capacitive sensing plates 11a or even all of the capacitive sensing plates 11a may Connect together for testing.
优选地,本发明的电容式感测***10为节省驱动环的感测***。现有技术中,一种电容感测***包括驱动环、传感器板、电容检测电路。通过在驱动环上施加激励,驱动环直接接触手指,驱动环上激励传导到手指,驱动手指电位改变。这个方案,一方面需要增加一个驱动环,增加了成本;另一方面驱动环是无法施加太高电压,比如4V。当电压过高时,电流流过人体会造成不舒服的感觉。通常,电压越高,则信号能量越大,则接收到的信号的信噪比越高,***性能越好。这个方案限制了整个***方案的性能。相对地,本发明的电容式感测***10设计比较灵活,性能较好,成本较低,人体也接触时的舒适感较高。Preferably, the capacitive sensing system 10 of the present invention is a sensing system that saves drive loops. In the prior art, a capacitive sensing system includes a driving ring, a sensor board, and a capacitance detecting circuit. By applying an excitation on the drive ring, the drive ring directly contacts the finger, and the drive ring is energized to the finger to drive the finger potential to change. This solution, on the one hand, requires the addition of a drive ring, which increases the cost; on the other hand, the drive ring cannot apply too high voltage, such as 4V. When the voltage is too high, current flowing through the human body can cause an uncomfortable feeling. Generally, the higher the voltage, the greater the signal energy, and the higher the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal, the better the system performance. This solution limits the performance of the entire system solution. In contrast, the capacitive sensing system 10 of the present invention is relatively flexible in design, has better performance, lower cost, and has a higher comfort when the human body is in contact.
需要说明的是,上述利用电容式感测***10中本身导电元件复用屏蔽电极17的技术方案也并不局限于节省驱动环的电容式感测***10中,也可适用其它合适的电容式感测***中,如带有驱动环的这种电容式感测***中,对于本领域的一般技术人员而言,其根据本发明的指导、教导是可以合理推出相关的技术方案的,应均属于本发明所揭示的保护范围。It should be noted that the above-mentioned technical solution of multiplexing the shielding electrode 17 by using the conductive element in the capacitive sensing system 10 is not limited to the capacitive sensing system 10 for saving the driving ring, and other suitable capacitive methods are also applicable. In a sensing system, such as a capacitive sensing system with a driving ring, it will be possible for a person of ordinary skill in the art to rationally introduce a related technical solution according to the teachings and teachings of the present invention. It belongs to the scope of protection disclosed in the present invention.
