Description

觸控訊號之訊號處理方法及應用其之訊號處理系統 Signal processing method of touch signal and signal processing system using the same

本發明是有關於一種觸控訊號之訊號處理方法及應用其之訊號處理系統,且特別是有關於一種提高觸控面板觸控精確度之觸控訊號處理方法及應用其之訊號處理系統。 The present invention relates to a signal processing method for touch signals and a signal processing system using the same, and more particularly to a touch signal processing method for improving the touch accuracy of a touch panel and a signal processing system using the same.

隨著觸控技術的發展,市場上對於觸控面板的品質有著極高的要求,無論是在外型、厚度、觸控靈敏度以及與顯示裝置的整合度等各層面,無不是相關業界努力發展的方向。也因為市場對於高品質觸控面板的期待,讓相關領域的製造商,從電路設計、製程改良、訊號處理等各個階段的技術能力,都備受考驗。 With the development of touch technology, the market has extremely high requirements for the quality of touch panels, whether in terms of appearance, thickness, touch sensitivity, and integration with display devices, all relevant industries have worked hard to develop direction. Also because of the market's expectations for high-quality touch panels, manufacturers in related fields have been tested for their technical capabilities at various stages, including circuit design, process improvement, and signal processing.

在觸控面板的生產過程中,即便是在相同的廠房、相同的產線中,同一批次的觸控面板之間,仍會無可避免的存在有差異,可能的原因包括材料性質變異、製程參數偏移、環境因素改變、設備誤差等等,會隨著時間的推移讓觸控面板之間發生差異。而這樣的差異會導致觸控面板在出廠後,具有特性不一致的問題。此外,當觸控面板在離開產線進入操 作環境後,會因為操作環境的溫度、濕度、潔淨度、多種環境雜訊等因素差異較大,原先在出廠時設定的觸控偵測設定值會發生不適用在操作環境的問題。例如偵測觸控訊號強度時會產生差異,從而影響到觸控面板偵測觸控訊號的精準度,嚴重時更會導致誤判的狀況,影響電子產品的觸控品質。 In the production process of touch panels, even in the same plant and the same production line, there will inevitably be differences between touch panels of the same batch. Possible reasons include variation in material properties, Process parameter deviation, environmental factor changes, equipment errors, etc., will cause differences between touch panels over time. Such a difference will cause the touch panel to have inconsistent characteristics after leaving the factory. In addition, when the touch panel leaves the production line and enters the operation After operating the environment, the operating environment will vary greatly due to factors such as temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and various environmental noises. The original touch detection settings set at the factory will cause problems that are not applicable to the operating environment. For example, when detecting the intensity of the touch signal, there will be a difference, which affects the accuracy of the touch panel in detecting the touch signal. In severe cases, it will lead to misjudgment and affect the touch quality of electronic products.

目前的作法是可以在一定的週期重設製程參數,或是定期將機台、製程設備重新設定以新的參數。以此方式,雖可將出廠觸控面板的特性差異維持在一定的程度以內,但是不時調整參數以及重設設備,除會造成品管上的難度,同時亦會增加人力工時成本。出廠的觸控面板之間,仍舊存在著一定的特性差異,同時面板對於不同的操作環境亦具有較低的適應性。 The current practice is to reset process parameters in a certain period, or to reset machines and process equipment to new parameters periodically. In this way, although the difference in characteristics of the factory touch panel can be maintained within a certain level, adjusting parameters and resetting equipment from time to time will not only cause difficulty in quality control, but also increase the cost of manpower and hours. There are still certain characteristic differences between the factory-built touch panels, and the panels also have low adaptability to different operating environments.

因此,目前仍存在一種如何克服觸控訊號失準的需求,讓觸控面板的觸控訊號輸出可以達到品質一致性。 Therefore, there is still a need to overcome the inaccuracy of the touch signal so that the touch signal output of the touch panel can achieve quality consistency.

First, step S101 is performed to provide a touch panel and a detection circuit. The touch panel includes one or more touch points for generating touch signals. The detection circuit includes a virtual touch element. Next, step S103 is performed. When the detection circuit is connected to each touch point through a virtual touch element, the detection circuit sequentially obtains the response signal of each touch point. Then, the signal processing method of this embodiment executes step S105 to compensate the touch signal of the touch point based on the response signal. The touch signal processing method of this embodiment uses virtual touch elements to obtain the response signal of one or more touch points on the touch panel, and compensate the touch output signal of the touch point accordingly, without manual point by point Performing detection can improve efficiency and convenience, and at the same time, improve the touch accuracy of the touch panel by compensating the touch signal.

請參照第3圖,其繪示依照本發明又一實施例之觸控訊號之訊號處理方法之流程圖。首先如步驟S201所示,提供一觸控面板及一檢測電路。觸控面板包括至少一觸控點。實際應用上,觸控面板中包含以矩陣方式排列的多個觸控點,觸控點是由平行的多條驅動線及平行的多條感測線相互交錯而形成,用來產生觸控訊號。檢測電路包括一虛擬觸控元件,用以選擇性地連接於觸控點。於一實施例中,虛擬觸控元件為一個電容可調整之觸控電路。 Please refer to FIG. 3, which shows a flowchart of a signal processing method for touch signals according to another embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in step S201, a touch panel and a detection circuit are provided. The touch panel includes at least one touch point. In practical applications, a touch panel includes a plurality of touch points arranged in a matrix. The touch points are formed by interlacing multiple parallel driving lines and multiple parallel sensing lines to generate touch signals. The detection circuit includes a virtual touch element for selectively connecting to the touch point. In one embodiment, the virtual touch element is a touch circuit with adjustable capacitance.

接著,本實施例之訊號處理方法執行步驟S203,當檢測電路以不通過虛擬觸控元件之方式連接於一個觸控點時,由檢測電路取得一基準訊號。於此步驟中,虛擬觸控元件並不存在於檢測電路連結到觸控點之線路當中,因此可以由檢測電路取得所述觸控點在沒有被觸摸(此處係指為沒有連接到虛擬觸控元件的情況)時的基準訊號。 Next, the signal processing method of the present embodiment executes step S203. When the detection circuit is connected to a touch point in a manner that does not use a virtual touch element, the detection circuit obtains a reference signal. In this step, the virtual touch element does not exist in the circuit connecting the detection circuit to the touch point. Therefore, the detection circuit can obtain that the touch point is not touched (here means that it is not connected to the virtual touch point). In the case of control components).

當取得多個觸控點的基準訊號後,可以計算觸控點不通過虛擬觸控元件時的基準訊號(相當於觸控點的背景感測值)之間的差異,並且可以得到一背景補償係數,可以據以補償觸控點的觸控訊號。另可將多個觸控點的基準訊號或者多個前述之背景補償係數,依照其在觸控面板上的位置做成矩陣排列,抑或做成表格,方便後續取得、計算及進一步應用。 After obtaining the reference signal of multiple touch points, the difference between the reference signal (equivalent to the background sensing value of the touch point) when the touch point does not pass through the virtual touch element can be calculated, and a background compensation can be obtained The coefficient can be used to compensate the touch signal of the touch point.

其次,本實施例之訊號處理方法進入步驟S205,當檢測電路以通過虛擬觸控元件之方式連接於觸控點時,由檢測電路取得一反應訊號。此處的觸控點與前述步驟S203中所述之觸控點為同一點。於此步驟中,虛擬觸控元件存在於檢測電路連結到觸控點之線路當中,因此可以由檢測電路取得所述觸控點在被觸摸(此處係指為連接到虛擬觸控元件的情況)時的反應訊號。 Secondly, the signal processing method of this embodiment enters step S205. When the detection circuit is connected to the touch point through a virtual touch element, the detection circuit obtains a response signal. The touch point here is the same as the touch point described in step S203. In this step, the virtual touch element exists in the circuit connecting the detection circuit to the touch point, so the detection circuit can obtain that the touch point is being touched (here refers to the case of connecting to the virtual touch element ) Response signal.

當取得多個觸控點的反應訊號後,可以計算觸控點通過虛擬觸控元件時的反應訊號(相當於觸控點的模擬觸碰值)之間的差異,並且可以得到一模擬觸碰補償係數,可以據以補償觸控點的觸控訊號。另可將多個觸控點的反應訊號或者多個前述之模擬觸碰補償係數,依其在觸控面板上的位置做成矩陣排列,抑或做成表格,方便後續取得、計算及進一步應用。 When the response signals of multiple touch points are obtained, the difference between the response signals (equivalent to the simulated touch value of the touch point) when the touch point passes through the virtual touch element can be calculated, and a simulated touch can be obtained The compensation coefficient can be used to compensate the touch signal of the touch point. In addition, the response signals of multiple touch points or multiple aforementioned analog touch compensation coefficients can be arranged in a matrix according to their positions on the touch panel, or can be made into a table for subsequent acquisition, calculation and further application.

請參照第4圖,其繪示第3圖中步驟S205之詳細流程圖。本實施例中,步驟S205可以例如是包括步驟S202及步驟S204。首先如步驟S202所示,依序設定虛擬觸控元件於不同之多個電容值;接著於步驟S204中,由檢測電路分別取得對應各電容值的反應訊號。以此方式,檢測電路可以利用改變虛擬觸控元件的電容值,取得觸控點在對應不同電容值時的反應訊號。電容值可為正值或負值,用以代表觸控點在不同狀態下(例如有水存在、油存在、手指處碰或手掌處碰)的反應訊號。 Please refer to FIG. 4, which shows a detailed flowchart of step S205 in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, step S205 may include step S202 and step S204, for example. First, as shown in step S202, the virtual touch elements are sequentially set to different capacitance values; then in step S204, the detection circuit obtains the response signal corresponding to each capacitance value. In this way, the detection circuit can change the capacitance value of the virtual touch element to obtain the response signal of the touch point corresponding to different capacitance values. The capacitance value can be a positive value or a negative value to represent the response signal of the touch point in different states (for example, the presence of water, the presence of oil, the touch with the finger or the palm of the hand).

請繼續參照第3圖,在取得了對應前述觸控點的基準訊號及反應訊號之後,本實施例之訊號處理方法接著可以進行補償觸控訊號的動作,如本實施例之步驟S207及步驟S209所示。 Please continue to refer to Figure 3. After obtaining the reference signal and response signal corresponding to the aforementioned touch point, the signal processing method of this embodiment can then perform actions to compensate for the touch signal, such as steps S207 and S209 of this embodiment Shown.

於步驟S207中,依據反應訊號與基準訊號計算取得對應所述觸控點之一反應區間。然後在步驟S209中,根據反應區間補償觸控訊號。實際應用上,反應區間對應於各種物質對觸控面板引起之訊號的辨識範圍。當有多個觸控點時,可以依據對應這些觸控點之多個電容值之多個反應訊號與這些觸控點之多個基準訊號,計算取得多個反應區間。 In step S207, a response interval corresponding to the touch point is calculated according to the response signal and the reference signal. Then in step S209, the touch signal is compensated according to the response interval. In practical applications, the response interval corresponds to the identification range of various substances on the signal caused by the touch panel. When there are multiple touch points, multiple response intervals can be calculated based on multiple response signals corresponding to multiple capacitance values of these touch points and multiple reference signals of these touch points.

於一實施例中,可以直接將反應區間與一個預設值進行比對,取得觸控點觸控訊號的偏移量,據以進行觸控點觸控訊號的補償。前述預設值可以根據面板製程的偏移量來設定,例如製造一定數量的觸控面板後,因製程差異導致的觸控訊號偏移量為X,可以將X作為前述之預設值。在不同的實施例中,也可以在取得觸控面板所有觸控點的反應訊號後,利用所有反應訊號的平均值或標準差來作為預設值,作為補償觸控訊號的計算基礎。 In one embodiment, the response interval can be directly compared with a preset value to obtain the offset of the touch point touch signal, and then the touch point touch signal can be compensated accordingly. The foregoing preset value can be set according to the offset of the panel manufacturing process. For example, after a certain number of touch panels are manufactured, the offset of the touch signal caused by the manufacturing process difference is X, and X can be used as the foregoing preset value. In different embodiments, after obtaining the response signals of all touch points of the touch panel, the average value or standard deviation of all the response signals can be used as the preset value as the calculation basis for compensating the touch signal.

本實施例之訊號處理方法更包括步驟S206,當反應訊號與電容值之變化不相關時,設定觸控點為不良。當使用不同電容值之虛擬觸控元件檢測觸控點,發現觸控點的訊號變化與虛擬觸控元件不相關時,表示無法利用由虛擬觸控元件量測得到的反應訊號來補償校正該觸控點。因此,設定該觸控點為不良觸控點。 The signal processing method of this embodiment further includes step S206, when the response signal is not related to the change of the capacitance value, the touch point is set as bad. When virtual touch elements with different capacitance values are used to detect touch points and it is found that the signal changes of the touch points are not related to the virtual touch elements, it means that the response signals measured by the virtual touch elements cannot be used to compensate and correct the touch points. Control point. Therefore, the touch point is set as a bad touch point.

此外,本實施例之訊號處理方法更包括步驟S208,當反應區間超過一可補償範圍時,設定觸控點為不良。本步驟中,可補償範圍同樣可由因製程差異導致的觸控訊號偏移量來設定,或是取得觸控面板所有觸控點的反應訊號後,利用所有反應訊號的平均值或標準差來設定。當某一個觸控點的反應區間超過可補償範圍時,表示該觸控點的觸控訊號變異過大,將其設定為不良的觸控點。 In addition, the signal processing method of this embodiment further includes step S208. When the response interval exceeds a compensation range, the touch point is set as bad. In this step, the compensation range can also be set by the offset of the touch signal due to process differences, or after obtaining the response signals of all touch points of the touch panel, the average value or standard deviation of all the response signals can be used to set . When the response interval of a touch point exceeds the compensation range, it means that the touch signal variation of the touch point is too large, and it is set as a bad touch point.

前述本實施例之觸控訊號之訊號處理方法,是以檢測一個觸控點的基準訊號與反應訊號為例進行說明。在一實施方式中,訊號處理方法可以用來檢測觸控面板上所有觸控點的基準訊號與反應訊號。虛擬觸控元件可以例如是依序連接於各個觸控點,以取得所有觸控點的基準訊號與反應訊號,進而得知整個觸控面板的基準訊號分布狀況,並據以作為補償觸控訊號的計算基礎。並根據所有觸控點的反應訊號,利用所有反應訊號的平均值或標準差來作為預設值,作為補償觸控訊號的計算基礎。 The signal processing method of the touch signal in the foregoing embodiment is described by taking the detection of a reference signal and a response signal of a touch point as an example. In one embodiment, the signal processing method can be used to detect the reference signal and response signal of all touch points on the touch panel. The virtual touch element can be connected to each touch point in sequence to obtain the reference signal and response signal of all touch points, and then know the reference signal distribution of the entire touch panel, and use it as a compensation touch signal. Calculation basis. According to the response signals of all touch points, the average value or standard deviation of all the response signals is used as the default value, which is the calculation basis for compensating the touch signal.

請參照第5圖,其繪示依照本發明又一實施例之訊號處理系統之示意圖。本實施例之訊號處理系統100例如可應用前述實施例之觸控訊號之訊號處理方法,以對於觸控訊號進行補償的動作。訊號處理系統100用以處理一觸控訊號,並且包括一觸控面板110以及一檢測裝置150。觸控面板 110包括至少一觸控點T,用於產生觸控訊號。實際應用上,觸控面板110中包含以矩陣方式排列的多個觸控點T,觸控點T是由平行的多條驅動線D1~Dn及平行的多條感測線S1~Sm相互交錯而形成,用來產生觸控訊號。 Please refer to FIG. 5, which shows a schematic diagram of a signal processing system according to another embodiment of the present invention. The signal processing system 100 of this embodiment can, for example, apply the signal processing method of the touch signal of the aforementioned embodiment to compensate the touch signal. The signal processing system 100 is used for processing a touch signal, and includes a touch panel 110 and a detection device 150. Touch panel 110 includes at least one touch point T for generating a touch signal. In practical applications, the touch panel 110 includes a plurality of touch points T arranged in a matrix. The touch points T are formed by interlacing a plurality of parallel driving lines D1~Dn and a plurality of parallel sensing lines S1~Sm. Formed to generate touch signals.

檢測裝置150用以檢測觸控面板110,並且包括一虛擬觸控元件151、一檢測電路153及一處理單元155。虛擬觸控元件151用以選擇性地連接於觸控點T。本實施例中以驅動第一條驅動線D1,以及經由第一條感測線S1進行感測取得一個觸控點T之觸控訊號為例進行說明。於一實施例中,虛擬觸控元件151為一個電容可調整之觸控電路。當檢測電路153以不通過虛擬觸控元件151之方式連接於觸控點T時,檢測電路153用以取得一基準訊號Vb。 The detection device 150 is used to detect the touch panel 110 and includes a virtual touch element 151, a detection circuit 153 and a processing unit 155. The virtual touch element 151 is used to selectively connect to the touch point T. In this embodiment, driving the first driving line D1 and sensing through the first sensing line S1 to obtain a touch signal of a touch point T is taken as an example for description. In one embodiment, the virtual touch element 151 is a touch circuit with adjustable capacitance. When the detection circuit 153 is connected to the touch point T without passing through the virtual touch element 151, the detection circuit 153 is used to obtain a reference signal Vb.

請同時參照第5圖及第6圖,第6圖繪示第5圖中虛擬觸控元件151連接於觸控點T時之示意圖。當檢測電路153以通過虛擬觸控元件151之方式連接於觸控點T時,檢測電路153用以取得一反應訊號Vr。 Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 at the same time. FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of the virtual touch element 151 connected to the touch point T in FIG. 5. When the detection circuit 153 is connected to the touch point T through the virtual touch element 151, the detection circuit 153 is used to obtain a response signal Vr.

處理單元155連接於檢測電路153,用以取得基準訊號Vb及反應訊號Vr,並依據反應訊號Vr與基準訊號Vb計算取得一反應區間。處理單元155用以根據前述計算取得之反應區間補償觸控點T之觸控訊號。於一實施例中,可以將反應區間與一預設值進行比對。預設值可以根據面板製程的偏移量來設定。在不同的實施例中,也可以在取得觸控面板110所有觸控點T的反應訊號Vr後,利用其平均值或標準差來作為補償觸控訊號的計算基礎。 The processing unit 155 is connected to the detection circuit 153 for obtaining the reference signal Vb and the response signal Vr, and calculates a response interval according to the response signal Vr and the reference signal Vb. The processing unit 155 is used for compensating the touch signal of the touch point T according to the response interval obtained by the aforementioned calculation. In one embodiment, the reaction interval can be compared with a preset value. The preset value can be set according to the offset of the panel manufacturing process. In different embodiments, after obtaining the response signals Vr of all touch points T of the touch panel 110, the average value or standard deviation thereof can be used as a calculation basis for compensating the touch signal.

在實際應用上,訊號處理系統100並不以取得單一觸控點T為限制,虛擬觸控元件151可依序連接於觸控面板110之所有觸控點T,從而讓 檢測電路可以依序取得所有觸控點T的基準訊號Vb及反應訊號Vr。虛擬觸控元件151可為一個電容可調整之觸控電路,因此虛擬觸控元件151可以分別依序設定於不同的電容值,從而使檢測電路153可以取得對應各電容值之反應訊號Vr。 In practical applications, the signal processing system 100 is not limited to obtaining a single touch point T. The virtual touch element 151 can be connected to all the touch points T of the touch panel 110 in sequence, so that The detection circuit can sequentially obtain the reference signal Vb and the response signal Vr of all touch points T. The virtual touch element 151 can be a touch circuit with adjustable capacitance. Therefore, the virtual touch element 151 can be set to different capacitance values sequentially, so that the detection circuit 153 can obtain the response signal Vr corresponding to each capacitance value.

本實施例中,檢測裝置150之處理單元155可於反應區間超過一可補償範圍時,將觸控點T設定為不良。檢測裝置150之處理單元155更可以於一或多個觸控點T之反應訊號Vr與虛擬觸控元件151之電容值變化不相關時,設定前述一或多個觸控點T為不良。 In this embodiment, the processing unit 155 of the detection device 150 can set the touch point T to be bad when the response interval exceeds a compensable range. The processing unit 155 of the detection device 150 can further set the aforementioned one or more touch points T to be bad when the response signal Vr of the one or more touch points T is not related to the change of the capacitance value of the virtual touch element 151.

請參照第7圖,其繪示依照本發明再一實施例之觸控訊號之訊號處理方法之流程圖。首先如步驟S301所示,提供一觸控面板及一檢測電路,觸控面板包括多個觸控點,用於產生觸控訊號。檢測電路包括一虛擬觸控元件。 Please refer to FIG. 7, which shows a flow chart of a signal processing method for touch signals according to another embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in step S301, a touch panel and a detection circuit are provided. The touch panel includes a plurality of touch points for generating touch signals. The detection circuit includes a virtual touch element.

於步驟S303中,在一控制環境中,設定檢測電路於多個不同之量測模式。 In step S303, in a control environment, the detection circuit is set in a plurality of different measurement modes.

其次,如步驟S305所示,當檢測電路連接於各觸控點時,由檢測電路依序取得各觸控點對應於前述多個量測模式時之多個反應訊號。本實施例中,前述之多個量測模式例如為在多個不同的量測頻率下,進行觸控點的觸控訊號量測。舉例來說,在10k至1000k之量測頻率範圍中,以每隔一固定頻率之方式進行量測,藉以取得在各量測頻率時,觸控點所對應的反應訊號。例如以50K的固定頻率,在50K、100K、150K...等等的頻率時各完成一次量測模式的量測。此外,以通過虛擬觸控元件之方式連接於各觸控點時,檢測電路可以將虛擬觸控元件於接地電壓時的訊號,設定一 參考訊號。 Secondly, as shown in step S305, when the detection circuit is connected to each touch point, the detection circuit sequentially obtains multiple response signals when each touch point corresponds to the multiple measurement modes. In this embodiment, the aforementioned multiple measurement modes are, for example, performing touch signal measurement at a touch point under multiple different measurement frequencies. For example, in the measurement frequency range of 10k to 1000k, the measurement is performed at every other fixed frequency, so as to obtain the response signal corresponding to the touch point at each measurement frequency. For example, with a fixed frequency of 50K, a measurement in the measurement mode is completed at a frequency of 50K, 100K, 150K... etc. In addition, when the virtual touch element is connected to each touch point, the detection circuit can set a signal when the virtual touch element is at the ground voltage. Reference signal.

再來,如步驟S307所示,形成一數據表,數據表包含前述之多個反應訊號。換句話說,數據表中儲存有各觸控點在各量測模式中所取得的反應訊號。此外,數據表中亦包括各反應訊號之一可調整範圍,例如+2或-2等。 Then, as shown in step S307, a data table is formed, and the data table includes the aforementioned multiple response signals. In other words, the data table stores the response signals obtained by each touch point in each measurement mode. In addition, the data table also includes an adjustable range for each response signal, such as +2 or -2.

接著,如步驟S309所示,在一操作環境中,讀取一現場量測值,利用現場量測值與參考訊號的關係,從前述多個量測模式中選出一選定模式,並且從數據表中決定出對應此選定模式之多個反應訊號的可調整範圍。本實施例中,控制環境與操作環境不同之處,在於控制環境之一環境潔淨度高於操作環境。 Next, as shown in step S309, in an operating environment, read a field measurement value, use the relationship between the field measurement value and the reference signal, select a selected mode from the foregoing multiple measurement modes, and select a selected mode from the data table Determines the adjustable range of multiple response signals corresponding to the selected mode. In this embodiment, the difference between the control environment and the operation environment is that one of the control environments has a higher cleanliness than the operation environment.

選定模式係有多種可應用之選取方法。本實施例中,量測模式例如是以不同的量測頻率下進行觸控訊號的量測,因此選定模式可應用一跳頻量測方法,從量測模式中決定出較不受雜訊干擾者,作為選定模式。接著從數據表中選出各觸控點在對應此選定模式時的反應訊號。 There are multiple selection methods that can be applied to the selected mode. In this embodiment, the measurement mode is, for example, measuring touch signals at different measurement frequencies. Therefore, a frequency hopping measurement method can be applied to the selected mode, and it is determined that the measurement mode is less immune to noise interference. , As the selected mode. Then select the response signal of each touch point corresponding to the selected mode from the data table.

然後,如步驟S311所示,以反應訊號為基礎補償觸控訊號。於一實施方式中,可以利用所有觸控點為基礎,進行觸控訊號的補償。然而本實施例之技術並不限制於此,訊號處理方法亦可選擇性地以一部分觸控點為基礎,進行觸控訊號的補償,係可節省時間、提升補償觸控訊號的效率。 Then, as shown in step S311, the touch signal is compensated based on the response signal. In one embodiment, all touch points can be used as a basis for compensation of touch signals. However, the technology of the present embodiment is not limited to this. The signal processing method can also selectively compensate for touch signals based on a part of touch points, which can save time and improve the efficiency of compensation for touch signals.

本實施例之訊號處理方法更選擇性地包括步驟S302、步驟S304及步驟S306,步驟S302例如在步驟S301後執行,步驟S304及步驟S06例如在步驟S309之後執行。 The signal processing method of this embodiment further optionally includes step S302, step S304, and step S306. Step S302 is executed after step S301, for example, and step S304 and step S06 are executed after step S309, for example.

在步驟S302中,設定對應各觸控點之一觸控訊號預存值。可以利用已知的製程差異參數或其他已知的量測方式,在控制環境中量測取得與觸控點相關之特性值。數據表中更包含此觸控訊號預存值。在步驟S304中,選擇一部分之觸控點為多個參考點。在步驟S306中,當各參考點之各反應訊號(因為參考點為觸控點,在數據表中會包含有對應參考點之反應訊號)與各觸控訊號預存值之差異小於一門檻值時,取得一校正區間。在步驟S311中,係以反應訊號為基礎,根據校正區間補償觸控訊號。 In step S302, a preset value of a touch signal corresponding to each touch point is set. Known process difference parameters or other known measurement methods can be used to measure and obtain characteristic values related to touch points in a controlled environment. The data sheet also contains the pre-stored value of this touch signal. In step S304, a part of the touch points are selected as multiple reference points. In step S306, when the difference between each response signal of each reference point (because the reference point is a touch point, the response signal corresponding to the reference point will be included in the data table) and the preset value of each touch signal is less than a threshold value To obtain a calibration interval. In step S311, based on the response signal, the touch signal is compensated according to the correction interval.

參考點為觸控面板中訊號穩定之點,或不易受到環境因素影響之點。於一實施例中,步驟S304係以一向量內積相似度判別方法定義出參考點。某一觸控點之現場量測值相對一預設向量參考點在各量測模式時具有一第一向量值,所述觸控點之觸控訊號預存值相對預設向量參考點具有一第二向量值。預設向量參考點可以根據實際製程或產品需求進行設定,其可以基於在控制環境中量測取得與觸控點相關之特性值來設定。根據第一向量值及第二向量值之內積餘弦值,判斷反應訊號與觸控訊號預存值之差異。餘弦值愈接近1表示兩者愈接近,亦表示該觸控點愈適合用來作為參考點。據此,對應選擇距離最小者作為實際量測使用之選定量測模式。 The reference point is the point where the signal in the touch panel is stable or the point is not easily affected by environmental factors. In one embodiment, step S304 uses a vector inner product similarity judgment method to define the reference point. The field measurement value of a certain touch point has a first vector value relative to a preset vector reference point in each measurement mode, and the touch signal preset value of the touch point has a value relative to the preset vector reference point. The second vector value. The preset vector reference point can be set according to the actual manufacturing process or product requirements, and it can be set based on the measurement in the control environment to obtain the characteristic value related to the touch point. According to the inner product cosine value of the first vector value and the second vector value, the difference between the response signal and the preset value of the touch signal is determined. The closer the cosine value is to 1, the closer the two are, and the more suitable the touch point is to be used as a reference point. According to this, correspondingly select the one with the smallest distance as the selected measurement mode for actual measurement.

本實施例之觸控訊號之訊號處理方法,係可應用於一訊號處理系統。訊號處理系統用以處理一觸控訊號,並且包括一觸控面板以及一檢測裝置。觸控面板包括多個觸控點,用以產生觸控訊號。檢測裝置用於檢測觸控面板,並且包括一虛擬觸控元件、一檢測電路及一處理單元。虛擬觸控元件用以選擇性地連接於觸控點。 The signal processing method of the touch signal of this embodiment can be applied to a signal processing system. The signal processing system is used for processing a touch signal, and includes a touch panel and a detection device. The touch panel includes a plurality of touch points for generating touch signals. The detection device is used to detect the touch panel, and includes a virtual touch element, a detection circuit and a processing unit. The virtual touch element is used to selectively connect to the touch point.

與前述根據第5圖及第6圖之訊號處理系統100不同之處,在於 本實施例之訊號處理系統中,檢測電路用以在一控制環境中依序被設定於不同之多個量測模式。當檢測電路連接於各觸控點時,檢測電路依序取得各觸控點對應於量測模式時之多個反應訊號。本實施例中處理單元儲存有包含反應訊號之一數據表。處理單元用以在一操作環境中,讀取一現場量測值,並且利用現場量測值與參考訊號的關係,從量測模式中選出一選定模式,並且從數據表中決定出對應選定模式之反應訊號之可調整範圍,並且以反應訊號為基礎補償觸控訊號。 The difference from the aforementioned signal processing system 100 according to Figs. 5 and 6 is that In the signal processing system of this embodiment, the detection circuit is used to sequentially set a plurality of different measurement modes in a control environment. When the detection circuit is connected to each touch point, the detection circuit sequentially obtains multiple response signals corresponding to each touch point in the measurement mode. In this embodiment, the processing unit stores a data table containing the response signal. The processing unit is used to read a field measurement value in an operating environment, and use the relationship between the field measurement value and the reference signal to select a selected mode from the measurement modes, and determine the corresponding selected mode from the data table The adjustable range of the response signal, and the touch signal is compensated based on the response signal.

根據本發明前述實施例之觸控訊號之訊號處理方法及應用其之訊號處理系統,利用虛擬觸控元件連接於觸控點以取得反應訊號,進而以反應訊號為計算基礎,據以補償觸控點的觸控輸出訊號。以此方式,不論是因為製程因素導致觸控訊號偏移,或是在不同操作環境中導致觸控訊號偏移的狀況,均可以得到補償。如此係可提升觸控面板偵測觸控訊號的準確性,同時提昇了產品品質。 According to the signal processing method of the touch signal and the signal processing system applying the same according to the foregoing embodiment of the present invention, the virtual touch element is connected to the touch point to obtain the response signal, and the response signal is used as the calculation basis to compensate the touch Point of touch output signal. In this way, whether it is due to process factors that cause the touch signal to shift, or the situation that causes the touch signal to shift in different operating environments, it can be compensated. This system can improve the accuracy of the touch panel to detect touch signals, and at the same time improve product quality.
