The temperature control type touch screen provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below with reference to fig. 1 to 4 by way of specific embodiments.

The temperature control type touch screen 100 according to one embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing 10, a display screen 20, a touch layer 30, a temperature sensor 40, and a control unit 50. The display screen 20 is disposed on the housing 10, and the display screen 20 is used for displaying images and information; the touch layer 30 is arranged on the display screen 20 in a covering manner; a plurality of the temperature sensors 40 are uniformly distributed on the touch layer 30; the control unit 50 is disposed in the housing 10, and the control unit 50 is electrically connected to the plurality of temperature sensors 40; the temperature sensors 40 can respectively monitor the temperature values of different areas on the touch layer 30 in real time, and the control unit 50 can receive the temperature values of the temperature sensors 40 and send a touch command.
In this embodiment, when the user touches the touch layer 30 on the touch screen 100 with a finger, the temperature sensor 40 can monitor the temperature value of the area on the touch layer 30 in real time, so as to compare with the temperature when not touched, so as to obtain a change in temperature. The temperature change of the area is then transferred to the control unit 50, which control unit 50 then processes the temperature value and issues a corresponding command.
Regarding the above-described temperature sensor 40, the temperature sensor 40 may employ a commercially available temperature sensor. Wherein, a digital temperature sensor 40 with an I2C or SPI interface can be selected, and the sensors can be directly connected with a controller 51 or a singlechip. To ensure that the selected temperature sensor 40 is compatible with the touch screen 100.
In some embodiments, the control unit 50 includes a controller 51 and a main control chip 52, and the controller 51 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 40 and the main control chip 52, respectively.
The main control chip 52 is a main control center in the electronic device, and the controller 51 is a module chip responsible for sensing and transmitting touch information. The main control chip 52 is responsible for managing the operation and control of the whole system, including receiving the touch point coordinate information transmitted by the controller 51, and performing corresponding operations according to the information. The main control chip 52 analyzes the touch signal transmitted by the controller 51 and converts it into specific operations, such as moving a cursor, clicking an icon, etc. In addition, the main control chip 52 is also responsible for communication and coordination with other hardware devices (such as a display screen, a memory, a network module, etc.).
The controller 51 is a chip on the touch screen module, and is mainly responsible for detecting temperature changes, resolving coordinate information of the touch points, and transmitting the information to the main control chip 52. The controller 51 may include multiple channels to support multi-touch and multi-finger operation.
In the present embodiment, the controller 51 receives the temperature change value of the temperature sensor 40 and determines the touch position, and the touch screen 100 controller 51 converts the detected temperature change into touch coordinates and sends the touch coordinates to the main control chip 52 for processing. The device host may then perform a corresponding operation, such as clicking, sliding, zooming, etc., based on the touch coordinates.
In some embodiments, the touch layer 30 includes a plurality of detection areas 31, and a plurality of sides of the detection areas 31 are connected to each other. By providing the touch layer 30 with several detection areas 31, the accuracy of the touch screen 100 can be improved. Setting the touch layer 30 to a plurality of smaller detection areas 31 can make the error range smaller, so that the determination of the touch position is more accurate.
Specifically, different areas are divided on the touch screen 100, and each area is assigned a unique identifier. After the temperature data is read, the temperature data can be matched with the area through a corresponding algorithm, and the temperature change is detected.
In some embodiments, the detection region 31 is square in shape. The square detection area 31 is relatively simple in technical implementation and can be represented and processed using a matrix or a coordinate system. This reduces the complexity of the controller 51 of the touch screen 100 and simplifies the calculation and processing of touch coordinates. And since the square detection area 31 is uniform in shape, it has the same size in both the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction. This makes it easier for the user to specify the target area when operating on the touch screen 100.
In some embodiments, the number of the detection areas 31 is the same as the number of the temperature sensors 40, and a plurality of the temperature sensors 40 are respectively disposed in a plurality of the detection areas 31. With this arrangement, when the user touches the touch panel 100, a change in the temperature value of a certain area can be accurately detected.
In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a mounting plate 11, and the mounting plate 11 is provided with a fixing hole 111, and the housing 10 is mounted on the peripheral component through the fixing hole 111. Specifically, the temperature control touch screen 100 can be mounted on the electronic device through the fixing hole 111 on the mounting plate 11, so as to facilitate the operation of the electronic device by the user.
It should be specifically noted that, the temperature control touch screen 100 provided in the embodiment of the present utility model only shows a portion related to the technical problem to be solved in the embodiment of the present utility model, and it is understood that the temperature control touch screen 100 provided in the embodiment of the present utility model further includes other structures for implementing the functions of the temperature control touch screen 100.
