[0002] Touch panels or screens are one of the common input / output devices in modern electronic systems. Generally, common touch panels or screens are controlled by touch processing devices. The touch processing devices use the mutual capacitance principle or the self-capacitance principle to detect touch using the touch electrodes on the touch panel or screen.

[0100] In the mutual capacitance detection method, the driving circuit module 112 provides a driving signal to one of the multiple first electrodes 121 in a time-sharing manner. When providing the driving signal, the sensing circuit module 113 is caused to sense all the second electrodes 122 multiple times at the same time in order to obtain multiple sets of one-dimensional array sensing information. Each set of one-dimensional array contains the sensing results for each second electrode 122. And these multiple sets of one-dimensional sensing information can form a two-dimensional array sensing information or sensing image according to the order of the first electrodes 121 that send the driving signal. Using the two-dimensional array or sensing image, the processor module 114 can detect whether there is an external conductive object close to the touch screen 120.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 2 , which is a block diagram of the contents of the non-volatile memory 116 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 Among them, a part of the non-volatile memory 116 includes the firmware 210, and the other part is the system manufacturer information 220. The processor 114 of the touch processing device 110 will load the instructions and data in the firmware 210 to perform the touch processing function. Therefore, in order to prevent any content of the firmware 210 from being changed, a checksum will be generated for the firmware 210. Those skilled in the art can understand that the methods for generating the checksum include loop redundancy check (CRC), MD5, SHA, etc. When the firmware 210 and its pre-calculated checksum match, the firmware 210 is the approved version corresponding to the touch processing device 110. When the version of the firmware 210 is updated, the new version of the firmware 210 and the new checksum can be checked by the firmware update program. When the two match, the host 140 can replace the old firmware 210 in the non-volatile memory 116 with the new firmware 210.

[0102] As mentioned above, the firmware 210 includes instructions and data for implementing touch processing. Among these data, there is a data about the time difference from driving to sensing of the touch driving signal. In an ideal design or standard sample (gold sample), an ideal touch processing device 110 and an ideal touch panel 120 are included. In the above-mentioned ideal design or standard sample (gold sample), the driving signal is sent from the driving circuit module 112, and the time length variation interval of sequentially passing through the connection network 111, the first electrode 121, the second electrode 122, and the connection network 111 to reach the sensing circuit module 113 is called the reference signal interval (RawBase).

[0103] In one embodiment, multiple signal values ​​of a standard sample can be collected to obtain a reference signal interval. For example, more than 50 signal values ​​can be collected for calculation. The reference signal interval has a maximum value and a minimum value, which correspond to the maximum value and the minimum value of the multiple signal values, respectively, and will be recorded in the firmware 210. In addition, a reference time difference value is obtained using the reference signal interval as a parameter of the touch processing function. For example, the above-mentioned reference time difference value can be the average value or median value of the multiple signal values, or it can be the middle value between the maximum value and the minimum value. This reference time difference value can be included in the content of the firmware 210.

[0104] However, as mentioned in the prior art, since the touch processing device 110 and the touch panel 120 may have errors during manufacturing, each sensing information in the two-dimensional sensing information array may fall outside the reference signal interval. When falling outside the reference signal interval, an error in the touch point position may occur, and even an erroneous touch point commonly known as a ghost point may be generated.

[0105] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown in FIG. , it is a schematic diagram of the driving signal strength and the time difference. Figure 3 The horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the original signal value or sensing information. Due to the aforementioned manufacturing error, among the three different combinations of touch processing devices 110 and touch panels 120, there may be three driving signals 301, 302, 303 corresponding to three different time differences 311, 312, 313. Each time difference may correspond to a certain intersection point of the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122.

[0106] When the three time differences 311, 312 and 313 all fall within the reference signal interval, the touch point position errors calculated by the touch processing device 110 should all be within an acceptable range. However, if one of the time differences exceeds the reference signal interval, the touch point position error calculated by the touch processing device 110 may exceed the acceptable range. Therefore, it is necessary to first confirm the range of the reference signal interval, and then detect different combinations of touch processing devices 110 and touch panels 120 to find out whether there are any that exceed the reference signal interval. Secondly, since the combination of the touch processing device 110 and the touch panel 120 is different from the standard sample used to calculate the reference signal interval, the time difference value applicable to the combination can be found through detection, and the touch processing function can be performed according to the detected time difference value.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 4 FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a detection method 400 for a touch processing device and a touch panel combination according to an embodiment of the present application. The detection method 400 for a touch processing device and a touch panel combination can be applied to Figure 1 The touch control system 100 shown. In one embodiment, the application program executed by the CPU 142 of the host 140 controls the touch control processing device 110 through the input / output interface 141 to implement the above-mentioned detection method 400 of the touch control processing device and the touch panel combination. If there is no causal relationship between any two steps, the present application does not limit the execution order of the two steps. The detection method 400 of the touch control processing device and the touch panel combination can start from step 410, or start from step 430.

[0108] Optional step 410: perform other tests. In an embodiment of the present application, an open circuit test of the touch electrode can be performed, and a short circuit test of the touch electrode can also be performed. For example, an open circuit test refers to a disconnection of the touch electrode or the related connection network 111 due to poor manufacturing. A short circuit test refers to a connection between the touch electrode or the related connection network 111 and other lines or severe crosstalk interference with each other due to poor manufacturing. Then, the process proceeds to step 420. In one embodiment, the above-mentioned test is performed on all the first electrodes 121 and all the second electrodes 122.

[0109] Optional step 420: Determine whether the test results of other tests are qualified. As described above, when the test results of one or more first electrodes 121 or second electrodes 122 are problematic, the process proceeds to step 460. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step 430.

[0110] Step 430: Perform detection according to the reference time difference to obtain the detection result. As described above in the mutual capacitance detection method, the touch processing device 110 can detect the driving signal according to the reference time difference parameter stored in the aforementioned firmware 210 as the sampling time point, and the detection result is a two-dimensional time difference signal array. The two-dimensional time difference signal array can also be called a time difference signal image. Then, the process proceeds to step 435. In one embodiment, the detection result can be transmitted to the host 140.

[0111] Step 435: According to the detection result obtained in step 430, determine whether the combination of the touch processing device 110 and the touch panel 120 is qualified. The embodiment of this step 435 can be Figure 7 The detection method 700 of the time difference signal image is shown. This step 435 can be implemented by the CPU 142 of the host 140, or can be implemented by the touch processing device 110. When the combination of the touch processing device 110 and the touch panel 120 is qualified, the process can proceed to step 480 or end. When the combination is unqualified, the process proceeds to step 440.

[0112] Step 440: Perform detection according to the next candidate time difference value to obtain the detection result. In the present application, there may be multiple candidate time difference values ​​for sampling the drive signal, and these candidate time difference values ​​may be sorted by size. In one embodiment, one of the candidate time difference values ​​may be selected for detection in order of size. In another embodiment, one of the candidate time difference values ​​may be selected for detection in a random order. In this step, the time difference value that has been detected is no longer included in the candidate order. Then, the process proceeds to step 445.

[0113] Step 445: According to the detection result obtained in step 440, determine whether the combination of the touch processing device 110 and the touch panel 120 is qualified. The embodiment of this step 445 can be Figure 7 The detection method 700 of the time difference signal image is shown. This step 445 can be implemented by the CPU 142 of the host 140, or by the touch processing device 110. When the combination of the touch processing device 110 and the touch panel 120 is qualified, the process can proceed to step 470. When the combination is unqualified, the process proceeds to step 450.

[0114] Step 450: Determine whether the detection is finished. In other words, determine whether there are candidate time difference values ​​to be detected. If there are candidate time difference values ​​to be detected, the process returns to step 440. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step 460.

[0115] Step 460: Report the test failure. In one embodiment, the program executed by the host 140 informs the user of the touch control system 100 through an output device that the combination of the touch control processing device 110 and the touch panel 120 is unqualified. The output device can be a common screen, or the touch screen 120, and / or a printer.

[0116] Step 470: Store the appropriate time difference in non-volatile memory. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the suitable time difference value may be the time difference value 230 located in the system vendor data area 220 .

[0117] Optional step 480: Delete the time difference stored in the non-volatile memory. Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, this step includes deleting the time difference 230 in the system manufacturer data area 220 to avoid misunderstanding. In another embodiment, the time difference 230 in the system manufacturer data area 220 can be deleted before the detection method 400 of the touch processing device and touch panel combination is executed to avoid misunderstanding.

[0118] The detection performed in steps 430 and 440 will obtain a two-dimensional time difference signal image. Each element of the image corresponds to a certain intersection point of a first electrode 121 and a second electrode 122. Please refer to Figure 5 , which is a schematic diagram of a time difference error interval 500 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The horizontal line 510 shown represents the time difference selected during the test, which can be regarded as the target time difference. The range of plus or minus 10% is the general range, and the upper limit of the general range is labeled 520, and the lower limit of the general range is labeled 530. The range of plus or minus 20% is the absolute range, and the upper limit of the absolute range is labeled 540, and the lower limit of the absolute range is labeled 550.

[0119] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the range of the absolute interval is greater than the general interval. In other words, the absolute interval upper limit 540 is greater than the general interval upper limit 520, and the general interval upper limit 520 is greater than the selected time difference 510. The selected time difference 510 is greater than the general interval lower limit 530, and the general interval lower limit 530 is greater than the absolute interval lower limit 550. Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the upper limit and lower limit of the general interval are respectively plus or minus 10%, but the present application does not limit the upper limit 520 and lower limit 530 of the general interval to respectively plus or minus 10%. For example, the upper limit and lower limit of the general interval can be respectively plus 12% and minus 8%. Similarly, although in Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the upper limit and lower limit of the absolute interval are respectively positive and negative 20%, but the present application does not limit the upper limit 540 and lower limit 550 of the absolute interval to respectively positive and negative 20%. For example, the upper limit and lower limit of the absolute interval can be respectively positive 22% and negative 18%.

[0120] exist Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, one detected first time difference value 591 is higher than the upper limit value 540 of the absolute interval, and another detected second time difference value 592 is lower than the lower limit value 550 of the absolute interval. In an embodiment of the present application, as long as one detected time difference value is higher than the upper limit value 540 of the absolute interval, or lower than the lower limit value 550 of the absolute interval, the combination of the touch processing device and the touch panel is judged to be unqualified.

[0121] Please refer to Figure 6 , which is a schematic diagram of a time difference error interval 500 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6In the illustrated embodiment, six detected time difference values ​​691-696 are higher than the upper limit value 520 of the general interval or lower than the lower limit value 530 of the general interval. However, these six time difference values ​​691-696 are still lower than the upper limit value 540 of the absolute interval and higher than the lower limit value 550 of the absolute interval. In other words, these six time difference values ​​691-696 are within the absolute interval but outside the general interval.

[0122] In one embodiment of the present application, a threshold value may be set. When the sum of the absolute values ​​of the time difference between the general interval and the absolute interval and the selected time difference is less than the threshold value, the touch processing device and the touch panel combination may be judged to be qualified. Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the difference between the six time difference values ​​and the selected time difference value 510 can be calculated to obtain six difference values. Then, the absolute value of each of the six difference values ​​is taken to obtain six absolute difference values. Next, the sum of the six absolute difference values ​​is calculated. Then, the sum is compared with the threshold value. When the sum is greater than the threshold value, it is determined that the combination of the touch processing device and the touch panel is unqualified. On the contrary, when the sum is less than the threshold value, it is determined that the combination of the touch processing device and the touch panel is qualified.

[0123] In one embodiment of the present application, a number threshold value may be set. The number of time differences between the general interval and the absolute interval is calculated, and then the number is compared with the number threshold value. When the number is greater than the number threshold value, the combination of the touch processing device and the touch panel is judged to be unqualified. On the contrary, when the number is less than the number threshold value, the combination of the touch processing device and the touch panel is judged to be qualified.

[0124] In an embodiment of the present application, the time difference between the general interval and the absolute interval must satisfy both the number threshold and the threshold conditions to determine that the combination of the touch processing device and the touch panel is qualified.

[0125] In another embodiment of the present application, the time difference between the general interval and the absolute interval only needs to satisfy one of the number threshold value and the threshold value conditions to determine that the combination of the touch processing device and the touch panel is qualified.

[0126] exist Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present invention, the time difference signal can be used for calculation, or the percentage value of the time difference signal and the selected time difference can be used for calculation. When the percentage value is used for calculation, the above threshold value represents the percentage threshold value. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that using the time difference signal is equivalent to using the percentage value.

[0127] Please refer to Figure 7, which is a flowchart of a method 700 for determining whether a detection result is qualified according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 700 may be implemented by the CPU 142 of the host 140, or by the touch processing device 110. The method 700 may be Figure 4 The method 700 for determining whether the test result is qualified may start from step 710 .

[0128] Step 710: Get the detection result. As mentioned above, the detection result can be a two-dimensional time difference signal image. Then, the process proceeds to step 720.

[0129] Step 720: Determine whether any element value in the two-dimensional time difference signal image exceeds the general range. When one or more element values ​​exceed the general range, the process proceeds to step 730. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step 770.

[0130] Step 730: Determine whether any element value in the two-dimensional time difference signal image exceeds the absolute interval. When one or more element values ​​exceed the absolute interval, the process proceeds to step 760. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step 740.

[0131] Step 740: Calculate the sum and / or number of differences that exceed the general interval.

[0132] Step 750: Determine whether the sum exceeds the aforementioned threshold value and / or whether the number exceeds the aforementioned number threshold value. When one or both of the above determination results are true, the process proceeds to step 760. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step 770.

[0133] Step 760: Determine as unqualified.

[0134] Step 770: Determine as qualified.

[0135] Please refer to Figure 8 FIG. 8 is a flow chart of a detection method 800 for a combination of a touch processing device and a touch panel according to an embodiment of the present application. The detection method 800 for a combination of a touch processing device and a touch panel can be applied to Figure 1 The touch control system 100 shown. In one embodiment, the application program executed by the CPU 142 of the host 140 controls the touch control processing device 130 through the input / output interface 141 to implement the above-mentioned detection method 800 of the touch control processing device and touch panel combination. If there is no causal relationship between any two steps, the present application does not limit the execution order of the two steps.

[0136] A method 800 for detecting a combination of a touch processing device and a touch panel is Figure 4A variation of the detection method 400 for a touch processing device and a touch panel combination shown. The difference between the two methods 400 and 800 is that the former stores a qualified time difference in a non-volatile memory after detecting it, and ends the process. The latter finds the most suitable time difference after detecting all qualified time differences, stores it in a non-volatile memory, and ends the process. The former saves time, but the time difference found may not be the best value. Although the latter takes more time, the time difference found may be the best value. The detection method 800 for a touch processing device and a touch panel combination reuses some previous steps, which will not be repeated here. The detection method 800 for a touch processing device and a touch panel combination can start from step 410, or from step 430.

[0137] After the test result is determined to be qualified in step 445, the process proceeds to step 845. Step 845: Record the qualified test result and the corresponding time difference. In one embodiment, it can be recorded in the non-volatile memory 116. In another embodiment, it can be recorded in the memory 146 of the host 140.

[0138] After the process determines that the test is completed in step 450, the process proceeds to step 850. Step 850: Determine whether there is a qualified test result. When there are one or more test results and corresponding time differences in the non-volatile memory 116 or the storage 146, the process proceeds to step 870. Otherwise, the process still proceeds to step 460.

[0139] Step 870: Calculate the most suitable time difference value among one or more qualified test results, and store the corresponding most suitable time difference value in the non-volatile memory 116. When there is only one qualified test result, the time difference value corresponding to the test result is stored in the non-volatile memory 116. When there are multiple qualified test results, the average value of each element of each two-dimensional time difference signal image can be calculated, and the absolute difference between the average value and the corresponding time difference value can be found. The time difference value corresponding to the one with the smallest absolute difference value can be regarded as the most suitable time difference value. It can be stored in the non-volatile memory 116.

[0140] Figure 4 and Figure 8 The illustrated embodiment can not only detect whether the combination of the touch processing device and the touch panel is qualified, but also store the qualified time difference in the non-volatile memory 116 as a parameter for touch processing.

[0141] Please refer to Fig. 9 FIG. 9 is a flow chart of a touch processing method 900 according to an embodiment of the present application. The touch processing method 900 is applicable to Figure 1In one embodiment, the touch processing method 900 can be implemented as follows: Figure 2 The firmware 210 shown includes instructions and data parameters that can be read and executed by the processor 114 . The touch processing method 900 can be executed starting from step 910 .

[0142] Step 910: Receive a reset (RESET) instruction. The reset instruction may be an electrical signal transmitted through a hardware pin of the touch processing device 110, or may be a software-triggered instruction. Generally speaking, after the reset, the processor 114 of the touch processing device 110 will load the firmware 210 in the non-volatile memory 116 and start executing the instructions in the firmware 210. Then, the process proceeds to step 920.

[0143] Step 920: Determine whether there is a time difference value 230 in the system manufacturer data area 220 in the non-volatile memory 116. The time difference value can come from the aforementioned Figure 4 and Figure 8 The time difference value stored in the illustrated embodiment. When it is determined that there is a time difference value, the process proceeds to step 930. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step 940.

[0144] Step 930 : Read the time difference 930 in the system manufacturer data area 220 in the non-volatile memory 116 . Next, the process proceeds to step 950 .

[0145] Step 940 : Read the time difference value 930 in the firmware 210 . Then, the process proceeds to step 950 .

[0146] Step 950: Perform touch processing according to the read time difference.
