Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to the field of capacitive touch technology. More specifically, the present invention relates to a switching polling capacitive touch technology. [Prior Art] The development of capacitive touch technology is now quite mature, and it has also been widely used in various industries. In general, common touch panels are generally classified into resistive, capacitive, sonic, and optical, depending on their principles. Current capacitive touch panels typically employ structures such as diamonds, squares, circles, combs, spirals, and the like. The capacitive touch method can be generally divided into two categories, one is a surface capacitive touch method, and the other is a projected capacitive touch method. However, since the conventional touch panel usually adopts a two-layer structure, one layer is used as a ground layer, and the other layer is patterned into a desired pattern pattern to generate a capacitance by finger touch. Change, in order to achieve the purpose of the analog button function. That is, referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a conventional design of a sheet-like conductive film in which a sheet-like conductive film of 14 to 14 and a layer of reference "ground" around the sheet-shaped conductive film are required. The double layer structure of layer 15. Therefore, this leads to an increase in the manufacturing cost of the conventional touch panel. Further, referring to Fig. 2, there is shown a schematic structural view of a touch panel of a conventional wristwatch device. In Fig. 2, reference numeral 22 denotes a transparent glass layer of the wristwatch 21. On the periphery of the watch 21, a flexible circuit board film 23 is used as a conductive film for detecting capacitance in 201235917. However, since the area of the flexible circuit board film 23 is limited, the sensitivity and stability of the capacitance detection are poor. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above disadvantages of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a switching polling capacitive touch method that can significantly increase the sensitivity and stability of capacitive sensing and reduce manufacturing costs. According to the state of the present invention, there is provided a method for switching a polling capacitive touch, comprising: providing a transparent underlayer; and providing a transparent conductive film layer above or below the transparent underlayer, the transparent conductive thin film layer being single a layered manner and formed into a plurality of sheet-shaped conductive films; a flexible circuit board for connecting the respective sheet-shaped conductive films of the plurality of sheet-shaped conductive films to the detecting circuit; and setting a Detector a measuring circuit for sensing a capacitance 上 on each of the plurality of sheet-shaped conductive films and switching the respective sheet-shaped conductive films of the plurality of sheet-shaped conductive films to ground, wherein When sensing the capacitance 値 on one of the plurality of sheet-shaped conductive films, the other sheet-shaped conductive films are switched to be connected to the ground, and then polled in the same manner by sequentially The capacitance 値 on each of the sheet-like conductive films can be known for each of the plurality of sheet-like conductive films. Moreover, when the user's finger approaches or contacts a certain sheet-shaped conductive film, the capacitance 値 on the sheet-shaped conductive film is changed, thereby detecting whether the user's finger is close by detecting the circuit. Or which sheet-shaped conductive film is contacted. 201235917 [Embodiment] Now, a preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting. Next, the structure of a wristband device using a switched polling capacitive touch technique according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view showing a wristband device using a switching polling capacitive touch technology according to an embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 3, a wristband device 31 according to an embodiment of the present invention firstly provides a transparent glass layer (not shown) above its display screen (not shown); however, the transparent glass layer can be used in various forms. Replace with a variety of other transparent materials. Then, on the transparent glass layer, a single layer of a transparent conductive film is plated using an ITO plating process, and the conductive film can be formed into a plurality of sheet-like forms. In this embodiment, it is shown as six The sheet-like conductive film 3 2 to 37. Next, using the flexible circuit board 39, the respective sheet-like conductive films 32 to 37 can be respectively connected to a detecting circuit (not shown) via individual wires. The detecting circuit is for sensing the capacitance 値' on each of the sheet-like conductive films 3 2 to 37 and switching the respective sheet-shaped conductive films 32 to 37 to the ground. When the user wants to sense the capacitance 値 on one of the sheet-shaped conductive films, the other individual sheet-like conductive films are switched to be connected to the ground. In this way, each of the sheet-like conductive films is sequentially polled, and the capacitance 値 on the respective sheet-like conductive films 32 to 37 can be known. Moreover, when the user's hand 201235917 refers to approaching or contacting the sheet-shaped conductive film, the capacitance 値 on the sheet-shaped conductive film is changed, whereby the detecting circuit can be used to know whether the user's finger is close or Which sheet-shaped conductive film is contacted. In practical applications, it is also possible to form a sheet-like conductive film under a transparent glass or a variety of other transparent materials. Thus, it is possible to avoid damage of the sheet-like conductive film because the user's finger or object directly contacts the sheet-like conductive film. Therefore, in this embodiment, only a single layer of the conductive film is used, and the above-mentioned detection circuit capable of switching and/or detecting the capacitance 値 and the ground on the conductive film can be achieved on the wristband device. Accurately detecting the action of the finger approaching or contacting, and then using the wristband device according to the present invention as a human-machine input interface, as the sheet-like conductive film of the wristband device shown in FIG. 3 is used as 6 input buttons. In addition, if the conductive film is formed into the form of nine sheet-like conductive films, that is, the shape of the nine-square grid, there are nine input buttons, and so on. The above method according to the switching polling capacitive touch technology can not only detect the action of a finger approaching or contacting a sheet-shaped conductive film (ie, inputting a button), but also can detect the proximity or contact of multiple fingers. The action of a plurality of sheet-shaped conductive films (that is, input buttons). In addition, in the sheet-shaped conductive film which is spread over the entire transparent glass or various other transparent materials, since the area is large, the capacitance 感 is sensed when the finger approaches or contacts the sheet-shaped conductive film. The change is greater, so that the proximity or contact of the finger can be detected more stably and accurately.
