Benefits of technology
The patent describes a method and device for generating an operating signal for an electronic device using a touch sensing device. The touch sensing device includes a sensing coil and a sensing circuit unit that detects changes in inductance caused by external pressure applied to the touch switching unit. The method involves deriving a force measurement value based on the change in inductance, accumulating the force measurement value, setting a reference value based on the accumulated force measurement value, and generating the operating signal based on the high and low relationship between the force measurement value and the set reference value. The device can also include a display member to display information based on the operating signal. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a more efficient and effective method for generating an operating signal for electronic devices using touch sensing technology.
Problems solved by technology
In the case of an existing mechanical switch, a large size and space are required internally for the implementation of a switch function, and since the mechanical switch has a structure that protrudes externally or that does not integrate with an external case, there is a disadvantage of poor design and a requirement for a lot of space.
In addition, there is a risk of electric shocks due to direct contact of a mechanical switch that is electrically connected.
Additionally, there is a disadvantage that implementing dustproof and waterproof functions may be difficult due to the structure of a mechanical switch.

A method of generating an operating signal of an electronic device includes: deriving a force measurement value based on a change in inductance of a touch sensing device disposed inside a housing of the electronic device and configured to change inductance by external pressure applied to a touch switching unit of the housing; accumulatively recording the force measurement value derived in the deriving of the force measurement value; setting a reference value based on the recorded force measurement value, in response to the force measurement value being accumulatively recorded until a unit condition is satisfied; and generating an operating signal based on a high and low relationship between the force measurement value derived from the change in inductance occurring after the setting of the reference value, and the set reference value.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit under 35 USC § 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0083285 filed on Jul. 7, 2020 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.BACKGROUND1. Field[0002]The following description relates to a method of generating an operating signal of an electronic device, and an electronic device.2. Description of Related Art[0003]In general, wearable devices are preferred to have a thinner, simpler, and cleaner design, and. Therefore, existing mechanical switches are being used less frequently. This is possible with the implementation of dustproof and waterproof technologies, as well as the development of a model having a smooth design and unity of construction.[0004]Currently, touch-on-metal (ToM) technology that touches on metal, capacitor sensing technology using a touch panel, micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) and mic...
