Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种电阻式触控面板,且特别是有关于一种多点触碰检测技术。The present invention relates to a resistive touch panel, and in particular to a multi-touch detection technology.
背景技术 Background technique
随着信息技术、无线行动通讯和信息家电的快速发展与应用,为了达到携带更便利、体积更轻巧化以及操作更人性化的目的,许多信息产品已由传统的键盘或鼠标等输入装置,转变为使用触控面板(Touch Panel)作为输入装置。With the rapid development and application of information technology, wireless mobile communication and information home appliances, many information products have been transformed from traditional input devices such as keyboards or mice in order to achieve the purpose of more convenient portability, lighter volume and more humanized operation. To use the touch panel (Touch Panel) as an input device.
目前,触控面板可依照其驱动方式以及结构设计区分为两种类型,一为电阻式面板模块,另一为电容式面板模块。以电阻式面板模块而言,使用者需实际施压于电阻式面板模块上,以使电阻式面板模块内部的部分区域导通而产生对应的坐标信号,因此电阻式面板模块的损坏率较高。以下配合图式针对现有电阻式面板模块所使用的单点触碰检测技术作更进一步的说明。Currently, the touch panel can be divided into two types according to its driving mode and structural design, one is a resistive panel module, and the other is a capacitive panel module. For the resistive panel module, the user needs to actually apply pressure on the resistive panel module to make some areas inside the resistive panel module conduct and generate corresponding coordinate signals, so the damage rate of the resistive panel module is relatively high . The following diagrams are used to further illustrate the single-point touch detection technology used in the existing resistive panel module.
图1是电阻式面板模块的示意图。请参照图1,电阻式面板模块10由导电基板20、21所构成。导电基板20、21分别具有透明的电阻层,且导电基板20与导电基板21之间有极小的间隙,使导电基板20、21互不导通。导电基板20具有两侧,分别为X+侧与X-侧。导电基板21具有两侧,分别为Y+侧与Y-侧。Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a resistive panel module. Please refer to FIG. 1 , the
图2是现有的触控面板于单点触碰时,量测Y方向坐标的原理示意图。请合并参照图1与图2,当触控界面(图中未示)的P点被触碰时,导电基板20、21会在P点的相对位置互相接触,因而互相导通。接着,检测模块30会分别量测P点在X方向与Y方向的坐标。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the principle of measuring Y-direction coordinates when a conventional touch panel is touched by a single point. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. When the point P of the touch interface (not shown in the figure) is touched, the
在量测Y方向的坐标时,X-侧会切换为开路状态。控制信号C1会控制开关121导通,以提供电压+VCC至Y+侧。此外,控制信号C2会控制开关122导通,以提供接地电压GND至Y-侧。接着,由模拟数字转换器(Analog To Digital Converter)40则量测X+侧与Y-侧之间的电压差。由于X+侧与Y-侧之间的电压差正比于Y方向的坐标,因此通过X+侧与Y-侧之间的电压差可估计P点在Y方向的坐标。以此类推P点在X方向坐标的估测方式,在此不再赘述。When measuring the coordinates in the Y direction, the X-side will switch to an open state. The control signal C1 controls the
值得注意的是,现有的电阻式面板模块仅能针对单点触碰进行感测。当受到多点施压时,现有的电阻式面板模块将无法做出反应。所以,现有的电阻式面板模块无法满足消费者对于产品功能多样化的需求。It is worth noting that existing resistive panel modules can only sense a single touch. Existing resistive panel modules cannot respond when subjected to multiple points of pressure. Therefore, the existing resistive panel modules cannot meet consumers' needs for diversified product functions.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways
现有的电阻式面板模块仅能检测单点触碰时的触碰点位置。当发生多点触碰事件时,现有的电阻式面板模块将无法做出反应。有鉴于此,当发生多点触碰事件时,本发明的实施例利用电阻式面板模块的阻抗(电压)变化情形来评估多点触碰事件的触碰情形。Existing resistive panel modules can only detect the position of a touch point during a single touch. Existing resistive panel modules will not be able to respond when a multi-touch event occurs. In view of this, when a multi-touch event occurs, the embodiment of the present invention utilizes the impedance (voltage) variation of the resistive panel module to evaluate the touch situation of the multi-touch event.
第一实施例first embodiment
请先参照图1,本实施例的多点触碰事件以两点触碰事件为例进行说明,且电阻式面板模块10以四线式的电阻式面板模块为例进行说明。假设两点触碰事件的触碰点分别在触控界面的P1点与P2点(图中未示),当P1点被触碰时,导电基板20的Px1点则会与导电基板21的Py1点导通。当P2点被触碰时,导电基板20的Px2点则会与导电基板21的Py2点导通。Please refer to FIG. 1 first. The multi-touch event of this embodiment is described by taking a two-point touch event as an example, and the
图3A是本发明的第一实施例的触控面板于两点未触碰时,电阻式面板模块的等效电路图。图3B是图3A在两点触碰时,电阻式面板模块的等效电路图。请合并参照图1、图3A与图3B。本实施例中假设Px1点较Px2点靠近X+侧,Px2点较Px1点靠近X-侧,Py1点较Py2点靠近Y+侧,Py2点较Py1点靠近Y-侧。3A is an equivalent circuit diagram of a resistive panel module when two points of the touch panel are not touched according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3B is an equivalent circuit diagram of the resistive panel module in FIG. 3A when two points are touched. Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B together. In this embodiment, it is assumed that Px1 is closer to the X+ side than Px2, Px2 is closer to the X- side than Px1, Py1 is closer to the Y+ side than Py2, and Py2 is closer to the Y-side than Py1.
图3A与图3B中,电阻101为Y+侧与Py1点之间的等效电阻,电阻102为Py1点与Py2点在导电基板21之间的等效电阻,电阻103为Py2点与Y-侧之间的等效电阻。同理,电阻104为X+侧与Px1点之间的等效电阻,电阻105为Px1点与Px2点在导电基板20之间的等效电阻,电阻106为Px2点与X-侧之间的等效电阻。此外,图3B中,电阻107为Py1点与Px1点之间的等效电阻,电阻108为Py2点与Px2点之间的等效电阻。由于电阻107、108的阻值相当地小,因此可将电阻107、108的阻值忽略。In Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B, the
在两点触碰事件未发生时,Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值为电阻101、102、103的阻值加总。然而,当两点触碰事件发生时,由于电阻102并联(电阻107+电阻105+电阻108),因此会导致Py1点与Py2点之间的阻值会下降。此外,随着Py1点与Py2点在Y方向之间的距离愈大,即Py1与Py2之间的电阻值越大,在并联效果下,Py1点与Py2点之间的阻值下降量也会愈大。换言之,依据Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值下降量,可评估Py1点与Py2点在Y方向之间的距离。When the two-point touch event does not occur, the resistance between the Y+ side and the Y− side is the sum of the resistance values of the
同理,在两点触碰事件未发生时,X+侧与X-侧之间的阻值为电阻104、105、106的阻值加总。然而,当两点触碰事件发生时,由于电阻105并联(电阻107+电阻102+电阻108),因此会导致Px1点与Px2点之间的阻值会下降。此外,随着Px1点与Px2点在X方向之间的距离愈大,即Px1点与Px2点之间的电阻值越大,在并联效果下,Px1点与Px2点之间的阻值下降量也会愈大。换言之,依据X+侧与X-侧之间的阻值下降量,可评估Px1点与Px2点在X方向之间的距离。Similarly, when the two-point touch event does not occur, the resistance between the X+ side and the X− side is the sum of the resistances of the
图4A是依照本发明的第一实施例的触控面板的示意图。请合并参照图1与图4A,触控面板60包括电阻式面板模块10、选择器30与检测模块50。电阻式面板模块10具有导电基板20、21。导电基板20具有沿X方向的导通路径,且X+侧、X-侧分别为X方向导通路径的两端。导电基板21平行导电基板20。导电基板21具有沿Y方向的导通路径,且Y+侧、Y-侧分别为Y方向导通路径的两端。上述X方向与Y方向互相垂直。当发生触碰事件时,导电基板20与21则会互相导通;反之,当触碰事件解除时,导电基板20与21则互不导通。选择器30耦接于电阻式面板模块10与检测模块50之间,用以决定电阻式面板模块10与检测模块50之间的耦接关系。检测模块50用以检测电阻式面板模块10「X+侧、X-侧」或「Y+侧、Y-侧」之间的阻值变化情形,以评估触碰事件的触碰情形。FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram of a touch panel according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4A together. The
承接上述,图4B是依照本发明的第一实施例的多点触碰检测方法的流程图。请合并参照图1、图3A、图3B、图4A与图4B。当电阻式面板模块10发生两点触碰事件时,检测模块50可量测Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形(步骤S401)。接着可依据上述的阻值变化情形来判别Py1点与Py2点在Y方向之间的距离(步骤S402)。更详细地说,当Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值逐渐上升时,代表Py1点与Py2点在Y方向之间的距离逐渐变小;反之,当Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值逐渐下降时,代表Py1点与Py2点在Y方向之间的距离逐渐变大。Following the above, FIG. 4B is a flow chart of the multi-touch detection method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3A , FIG. 3B , FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B in combination. When a two-point touch event occurs on the
以下针对步骤S401作更详细的说明。当未发生触碰事件时,检测模块50可先量测Y+侧与Y-侧之间的第一阻值。接着,当发生两点触碰事件时,检测模块50可将X+侧与X-侧切换成开路状态,并量测Y+侧与Y-侧之间的第二阻值。接着依据第一阻值与第二阻值的差异则可得知Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形。以下提供触控面板60量测Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形的一种实施方式供熟习本领域者参详。Step S401 will be described in more detail below. When no touch event occurs, the
图5A是依照本发明的第一实施例的一种触控面板的详细示意图。请合并参照图1、图3A、图3B、图4A与图5A。在本实施例中,触控面板60包括了电阻式面板模块10、选择器30、分压电阻201、检测模块50与开关121、122。检测模块50例如可以是模拟数字转换器40。模拟数字转换器40具有输入端+IN、-IN与参考电压端+REF、-REF。模拟数字转换器40可将输入端+IN、-IN之间的跨压转换成数字数据。由于输入端+IN的阻抗趋于无限大,因此可将模拟数字转换器40的输入端+IN视为没有电流流入。参考电压端+REF、-REF可作为模拟数字转换器40进行电压转换的上限值与下限值。FIG. 5A is a detailed schematic diagram of a touch panel according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3A , FIG. 3B , FIG. 4A and FIG. 5A in combination. In this embodiment, the
开关121可依据控制信号C1来决定开关121导通与否,以提供电压+VCC至分压电阻201的一端以及模拟数字转换器40的参考电压端+REF。开关122可依据控制信号C2来决定开关122导通与否,以提供接地电压GND至模拟数字转换器40的输入端-IN与参考电压端-REF。The
选择器30包括多工器131、132、133。本实施例中,多工器131、132、133的输出端分别耦接分压电阻201的另一端、模拟数字转换器40的输入端+IN、-IN。多工器131、132、133分别可依据控制信号C3~C5来决定电阻式面板模块10与模拟数字转换器40相互的耦接关系。随着控制信号C1~C5的不同,检测模块50可量测到不同的数据。举例来说,当检测模块50欲量测Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形时,开关121可依据控制信号C1而切换至导通状态。开关122可依据控制信号C2而切换至导通状态。多工器131可依据控制信号C3切换至0,使分压电阻201耦接至Y+侧。多工器132可依据控制信号C4切换至1,使模拟数字转换器40的输入端+IN耦接至Y+侧。多工器133可依据控制信号C5切换至1,使模拟数字转换器40的输入端-IN耦接至Y-侧。The
由于电压VCC、接地电压GND与分压电阻201的阻值为现有。此外,透过模拟数字转换器40可量测Y+侧与Y-侧之间的跨压。因此,利用分压定理可计算Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值,以得知Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形。同理,当开关121、122切换至导通状态,且多工器131、132、133分别切换至1、0、0时,模拟数字转换器40可量测到X+侧与X-侧之间的阻值变化情形。值得注意的是,熟习本领域技术者可挑选阻值较小的电阻来实施分压电阻201,以避免影响数字模拟转换器40输入端的动态范围。Since the voltage VCC, the ground voltage GND and the resistance of the
不仅如此,当发生单点触碰事件时,开关121、122切换至导通状态,且多工器131、132、133分别切换至0、0、1时,模拟数字转换器40可量测到触碰点在Y方向的位置。当发生单点触碰事件时,开关121、122切换至导通状态,且多工器131、132、133分别切换至1、1、0时,模拟数字转换器40可量测到触碰点在X方向的位置。Not only that, when a single-point touch event occurs, the
再者,当发生多点触碰事件时,开关121、122切换至导通状态,且多工器131、132、133分别切换至0、0、1时,模拟数字转换器40可量测到多个触碰点的中间点在Y方向的位置。当发生多点触碰事件时,开关121、122切换至导通状态,且多工器131、132、133分别切换至1、1、0时,模拟数字转换器40可量测到多个触碰点的中间点在X方向的位置。以下将开关121、122与多工器131~133的操作状态及检测模块50所对应的功能整理于下列表一中供熟习本领域者参详。Furthermore, when a multi-touch event occurs, the
表一 开关模块的操作状态及检测模块50所对应的功能Table 1 The operating state of the switch module and the corresponding function of the
请再参照图1、图3A、图3B与图4A。特别值得一提的是,上述步骤S401的阻值变化情形可作为人机界面的输入信号。举例来说,若使用者欲放大显示器(图中未示)所显示的照片。使用者可将双指分别触碰在触控面板60的触控界面上任意两点。随着双指在Y方向的距离加大,Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值会逐渐下降;反之,随着双指在Y方向的距离减小,Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值会逐渐上升。另一方面,显示器中的控制器(图中未示)则可依据Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值来控制照片的放大缩小。随着Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值会逐渐下降,则控制器则逐渐放大显示器所显示的照片;反之,随着Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值会逐渐上升,则控制器则逐渐缩小显示器所显示的照片。Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3A , FIG. 3B and FIG. 4A again. It is particularly worth mentioning that the change of the resistance value in the above step S401 can be used as an input signal of the man-machine interface. For example, if the user wants to enlarge the photo displayed on the monitor (not shown in the figure). The user can touch any two points on the touch interface of the
熟习本领域技术者应当知道,上述放大缩小显示器的照片仅是一种选择实施例,本发明并不限于此。在其它实施例中,亦可将Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形应用于控制各项电子装置的操作。Those skilled in the art should know that the above-mentioned photos of zooming in and out of the display is just a selected embodiment, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the variation of the resistance between the Y+ side and the Y− side can also be used to control the operations of various electronic devices.
此外,熟习本领域技术者可将Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值所对应的两触碰点之间的距离建立成表。当检测模块50量测到Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值时,则可透过查表方式,快速得知两触碰点之间的距离。不仅如此,熟习本领域技术者更可搭配内插法以提升表的分辨率。也就是说,若表格查无对应数据时,可查询表格中相近的两阻值,进行内差法取得两触碰点之间的距离。In addition, those skilled in the art can create a table of the distance between the two touch points corresponding to the resistance between the Y+ side and the Y− side. When the
再者,上述图5A仅是触控面板60的一种选择实施例,熟习本领域技术者可依其需求改变触控面板60中各组件的耦接方式与配置方式。例如图5B是依照本发明的第一实施例的另一种触控面板的示意图。请合并参照图5A与图5B,图5B与图5A相类似,不同之处在于图5B利用分压电阻202、203来取代图5A的分压电阻201。Moreover, the above-mentioned FIG. 5A is only an optional embodiment of the
虽然上述实施例中已经对触控面板及其多点触碰检测方法描绘出了一个可能的型态,但所属技术领域中具有通常知识者应当知道,各厂商对于触控面板及其多点触碰检测方法的设计都不一样,因此本发明的应用当不限制于此种可能的型态。换言之,只要是利用电阻式面板模块的阻值变化情形来评估多点触碰事件的触碰情形,就已经是符合了本发明的精神所在。以下再举几个实施例以便本领域具有通常知识者能够更进一步的了解本发明的精神,并实施本发明。Although a possible form of the touch panel and its multi-touch detection method has been described in the above-mentioned embodiments, those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field should know that each manufacturer has a different understanding of the touch panel and its multi-touch detection method. The design of the collision detection method is not the same, so the application of the present invention should not be limited to this possible type. In other words, as long as the change of the resistance value of the resistive panel module is used to evaluate the touch situation of the multi-touch event, it is in line with the spirit of the present invention. Several embodiments are given below so that those skilled in the art can further understand the spirit of the present invention and implement the present invention.
第二实施例second embodiment
请再参照图1、图3A、图3B与图4A。本实施例与第一实施例相类似。不同之处在于,第一实施例中虽以量测Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形,以判别Py1点与Py2点在Y方向之间的距离。本实施例则是通过量测X+侧与X-侧之间的阻值变化情形,判别Px1点与Px2点在X方向之间的距离。如此一来亦可达成与第一实施例相类似的功效。Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3A , FIG. 3B and FIG. 4A again. This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment. The difference is that in the first embodiment, the resistance change between the Y+ side and the Y− side is measured to determine the distance between the Py1 point and the Py2 point in the Y direction. In this embodiment, the distance between the point Px1 and the point Px2 in the X direction is determined by measuring the resistance change between the X+ side and the X− side. In this way, the effect similar to that of the first embodiment can also be achieved.
第三实施例third embodiment
请再参照图1、图3A、图3B与图4A。本实施例与第一实施例相类似。不同之处在于,第一实施例中虽以量测Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形,以判别Py1点与Py2点在Y方向之间的距离。本实施例不但量测Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形,以判别Py1点与Py2点在Y方向之间的距离。更同时通过量测X+侧与X-侧之间的阻值变化情形,判别Px1点与Px2点在X方向之间的距离。Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3A , FIG. 3B and FIG. 4A again. This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment. The difference is that in the first embodiment, the resistance change between the Y+ side and the Y− side is measured to determine the distance between the Py1 point and the Py2 point in the Y direction. This embodiment not only measures the change of the resistance value between the Y+ side and the Y− side, so as to determine the distance between the Py1 point and the Py2 point in the Y direction. At the same time, the distance between the point Px1 and the point Px2 in the X direction is judged by measuring the change of the resistance value between the X+ side and the X- side.
其好处在于,当两触碰点之间的距离仅在X方向发生变化时,可依据X+侧与X-侧之间的阻值变化情形作为人机界面的输入信号。另一方面,当两触碰点之间的距离仅在Y方向发生变化时,可依据Y+侧与Y-侧之间的阻值变化情形作为人机界面的输入信号。The advantage is that when the distance between the two touch points only changes in the X direction, the change in resistance between the X+ side and the X- side can be used as an input signal for the man-machine interface. On the other hand, when the distance between the two touch points only changes in the Y direction, the change of the resistance between the Y+ side and the Y- side can be used as the input signal of the man-machine interface.
综上所述,本发明通过量测电阻式面板模块中导通路径的阻值变化情形,以评估多点触碰事件的触碰情形。因此,上述阻值变化情形可作为人机界面的输入信号,以控制电子装置。To sum up, the present invention evaluates the touch situation of the multi-touch event by measuring the resistance variation of the conduction path in the resistive panel module. Therefore, the change of the above-mentioned resistance value can be used as an input signal of the man-machine interface to control the electronic device.
虽然本发明已以较佳实施例揭露如上,然其并非用以限定本发明。本发明所属技术领域中具有通常知识者,在不脱离本发明之精神和范围内,当可作各种之更动与润饰。因此,本发明之保护范围当视权利要求书所界定者为准。Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art of the present invention can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
