Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of touch technology, specifically a method for improving the success rate of touch operations. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the smart wearable industry, headphones are becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated. The China Business Industry Research Institute predicts that headphone sales will reach over 3 billion units in 2022. Enhancing user experience and building trust will be key to product success. Current headphone functions are primarily triggered by pressing buttons, a method heavily influenced by the environment and the buttons themselves, impacting user experience. Modern sensor-based headphones offer a wide range of functions, such as volume control, answering / ending calls, and switching songs. Buttons have significant limitations; each button corresponds to a fixed function. When headphones require more or need to evolve to offer more features, buttons cannot meet the demands.

[0003] Patent application CN114071302 A discloses a suspension earphone based on capacitive sensing triggering. It includes an earphone body, ear hooks, and a battery pack. The earphone body and the battery pack are located at opposite ends of the ear hooks. A capacitive sensing device is located on the skin-facing side of the earphone body, ear hooks, and / or battery pack. A main control board is located within the earphone body. The main control board includes a filtering and amplification circuit, a processor, and a Bluetooth module. The capacitive sensing device, the filtering and amplification circuit, and the processor are electrically connected in sequence. The capacitive sensing device generates a trigger signal when it comes into contact with human skin. This trigger signal is filtered and amplified by the filtering and amplification circuit before being transmitted to the processor. The processor then wakes up the Bluetooth module based on the trigger signal. This invention can accurately collect the earphone's wearing status, thereby achieving automatic wake-up and automatic sleep functions, effectively meeting the intelligent application needs of suspension earphones.

[0004] Applying Touch technology to TWS earbuds allows users to perform various functions with a simple touch. Touch technology is poised for a flourishing future in TWS earbuds. Currently, most TWS earbuds use capacitive touch, which utilizes a touch chip to monitor capacitance changes between the human body and the touch-sensitive area. However, due to the very small contact surface of TWS earbuds, traditional X and Y axis interaction methods are prone to accidental touches, leading to incorrect commands. Therefore, we propose a method to improve the success rate of Touch, thereby addressing a key pain point in our project. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for improving the success rate of touch input, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for improving the success rate of touch input, comprising touch recognition, headset software, and a host computer, characterized by the following steps:

[0008] S1: Calibrate the built-in Touch and intercept defective products;

[0009] S2: Improve the accuracy of built-in Touch.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention, step S2 is as follows:

[0011] S21: Load the climb thre & fall thre after production line calibration;

[0012] S22: Determine if the change in CDC is greater than the climb threshold;

[0013] S23: Determine whether the change in CDC is greater than fall thre.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: In S1, the initial climb threshold and fall threshold are set by the headphone software, and then the host computer obtains the CDC value of the touch area when it is empty. After obtaining the CDC value of the touch area when it is pressed, the host computer judges whether the change value of CDC meets the control threshold. If it does, the headphone software outputs the CDC value when it is empty and the CDC value when it is pressed. The headphone software calculates the new climb threshold and fall threshold and updates them to achieve production line calibration. The headphone software recalculates and outputs the new rise threshold and fall threshold. If the control threshold is not met, the defective product inspection is initiated. For Touch assembly defects, the headphone software cannot compensate, so it can only perform defective product screening.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: In S21, the climb threshold and fall threshold after production line calibration are loaded, and the threshold interruption is triggered according to the CDC change. The CDC value is continuously collected, and the electrostatic anti-accidental touch threshold detection is used to avoid electrostatic accidental triggering. Then, the CDC collection filtering algorithm is used to reduce data jitter changes, thereby reducing the probability of misidentification.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: in S22, by determining whether the change value of CDC is greater than climbthre, if the change value of CDC is not greater than climbthre, then continue to collect CDC values; if the change value of CDC is greater than climbthre, then identify the press and wait-to-release event.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: In S23, after waiting for the release event, the CDC value is continuously collected, the electrostatic discharge prevention threshold detection is performed, the CDC collection filtering algorithm is applied, and then it is determined whether the change value of CDC is greater than fallthre. If the change value of CDC is determined not to be greater than fallthre, the CDC value is continuously collected. If the change value of CDC is determined to be greater than fallthre, the CDC value is identified and released, and the CDC collection is stopped and the next threshold interruption is waited for.

[0018] As a further aspect of the present invention, the touch recognition principle is achieved by detecting whether the relative change in capacitance before and after pressing exceeds a threshold.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] 1. In this invention, after being triggered by a hardware interrupt, the earphone software performs multi-point data acquisition and judgment, thereby reducing the false judgment rate of single-point acquisition and improving the accuracy. Furthermore, the electrostatic discharge (ESD) anti-accidental touch threshold detection method avoids the possibility of ESD accidental triggering. By adopting the CDC acquisition filtering algorithm, the data jitter variation is reduced, thereby greatly reducing the false recognition rate. It also has the functions of touch production line calibration and defective product interception. This invention effectively solves the problem of very small contact surface of TWS earphones in the prior art, which easily causes accidental touch, and is easy to promote and use.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the invention, a method for improving the success rate of Touch operation includes headset software and a host computer, and the method steps are as follows:

[0028] S1: Calibrate the built-in Touch and intercept defective products;

[0029] S2: Improve the accuracy of built-in Touch.

[0030] The steps for S2 are as follows:

[0031] S21: Load the climb thre & fall thre after production line calibration;

[0032] S22: Determine if the change in CDC is greater than the climb threshold;

[0033] S23: Determine whether the change in CDC is greater than fall thre.

[0034] In step S1, the headset software initializes the climb threshold and fall threshold. Then, the host computer obtains the CDC value of the touch area when it is empty. After obtaining the CDC value of the touch area when it is pressed, the host computer judges whether the change value of the CDC meets the control threshold. If it does, it outputs the CDC value when it is empty and the CDC value when it is pressed. The headset software calculates the new climb threshold and fall threshold and updates them to achieve production line calibration. The headset software recalculates and outputs the new rise threshold and fall threshold. If the control threshold is not met, it enters the defective product inspection. For Touch assembly defects, the headset software cannot compensate, so it can only perform defective product screening.

[0035] In step S21, the climb threshold and fall threshold after production line calibration are loaded. The threshold interruption is triggered according to the CDC change, and the CDC value is continuously collected. The electrostatic discharge prevention threshold detection is used to avoid electrostatic discharge accidental triggering. Then, the CDC collection filtering algorithm is used to reduce data jitter changes, thereby reducing the probability of misidentification.

[0036] In step S22, it is determined whether the change value of CDC is greater than the climb thre. If the change value of CDC is not greater than the climb thre, the CDC value is continuously collected. If the change value of CDC is greater than the climb thre, the press and wait-to-release event is identified.

[0037] In step S23, after waiting for the release event, the CDC value is continuously collected, the electrostatic discharge prevention threshold detection is performed, the CDC collection filtering algorithm is applied, and then it is determined whether the change value of CDC is greater than the fall threshold. If the change value of CDC is not greater than the fall threshold, the CDC value is continuously collected. If the change value of CDC is greater than the fall threshold, the release is identified and the CDC collection is stopped, waiting for the next threshold interruption.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] Touch recognition works by detecting whether the relative change in capacitance before and after a press exceeds a threshold. A single touch recognition process (such as...) Figure 5 Where Pd2 = Pcap2 - Rcap, Pd1 = Pcap1 - Rcap, Rd2 = Rcap2 - Rcap1, Rd1 = Rcap2 - Rcap) is:

[0040] Step 1: When a finger touches the screen at time T1, the external capacitance increases. The circuit will automatically detect the increase in capacitance at this time. If the capacitance difference Pd2 and Pd1 exceed the threshold twice (configurable), it will be marked as a press at time T2.

[0041] Step 2: When the finger is lifted at time T3, the external capacitance decreases. The circuit will automatically detect the decrease in capacitance at this time. If the capacitance difference Rd2 and Rd1 exceed the threshold twice (configurable), it will be marked as lifted at time T4.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
