Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of touch screen interaction technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device, medium and display device for determining touch points. Background Technology

[0002] As the demand for 3D displays increases, the technological requirements for 3D interaction are also increasing. Currently, touch interactions at a distance of more than 100mm from the display screen can be handled using cameras. However, at distances less than 100mm, the lens image is largely obscured, making it impossible to recognize features. Other detection methods, such as capacitive touch detection, are needed to identify interactive actions.

[0003] For touch detection of capacitive touch panels, the conventional detection method is to directly select the point with the largest touch signal as the touch point. However, due to the limitations of finger touch methods, the signal of the point corresponding to the fingertip is not the largest in many cases. It is necessary to more accurately identify the touch point corresponding to the user's fingertip under different touch conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining touch points according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, including:

[0038] Step S110: Determine at least one candidate sensing unit based on the touch information fed back by each sensing unit in the display panel; wherein, the touch information includes the signal quantity and touch depth of the touch signal corresponding to each point in the sensing unit, and each sensing unit corresponds to at least one point;

[0039] Step S120: Determine the target sensing unit among at least one candidate sensing unit;

[0040] Step S130: Determine the touch point based on the target sensing unit.

[0041] For example, the method of this embodiment is applicable to terminals using capacitive display panels, such as mobile phones or tablet computers. The capacitive display panel can be TDDI (Touch and Display Driver Integration), Incell (an embedded touch panel), Oncell (an external touch panel), Hybridincell (another embedded touch panel), GFF (Glass-Film-Film, an external touch panel), GG (Glass-Glass, another external touch panel), etc. The touch depth represents the distance between the touch object and the display panel corresponding to the touch signal detected by the capacitive sensor in the sensing unit of the display panel. The magnitude of the touch signal is inversely proportional to the touch depth; that is, the larger the signal, the smaller the touch depth.

[0042] In existing capacitive touch detection technologies, finger touch on the screen is typically assumed to be standard touch, meaning the distance between the fingertip and the display panel is minimal during hover touch operations. Therefore, the point with the highest signal strength is directly identified as the touch point. However, in actual user experience, many non-standard touch methods occur, where the fingertip does not correspond to the point with the highest signal strength. In such cases, if the point with the highest signal strength is still directly used as the touch point, the touch point recognized by the display panel is highly likely not to be the actual touch point, thus affecting the recognition of subsequent clicks, swipes, or rotations.

[0043] Therefore, in order to more accurately identify the actual touch points of the capacitive display panel under different touch methods, the method of this embodiment needs to determine at least one candidate sensing unit in each sensing unit that may have touch points based on the touch information fed back by each sensing unit in the display panel, that is, the characteristic distribution of the signal quantity. Then, the method further locks the target sensing unit where the touch point is located in the candidate sensing unit, and then determines the touch point in the target sensing unit.

[0044] In one embodiment, step S110, determining at least one candidate sensing unit based on the touch information fed back by each sensing unit in the display panel, includes: determining a first touch depth at the point with the largest signal in the display panel, and determining a first depth range based on the first touch depth; wherein the value of the first touch depth is the minimum depth value in the first depth range; determining at least one first sensing unit in each sensing unit based on the first depth range; wherein at least one point in the first sensing unit has a touch depth of touch signal corresponding to a point that is within the first depth range; and determining at least one candidate sensing unit based on the relationship between the number of first sensing units and a preset first quantity threshold.

[0045] For example, assuming the user's current touch method is a standard touch method that can be recognized by conventional capacitive sensing methods, the point with the maximum signal is the touch point corresponding to the fingertip. The touch depth of other fingers on the display panel can be predicted. For example, if the index finger is used for touch, the touch depth of the curled middle and ring fingers can be predicted. The first touch depth of the point with the maximum signal is used as the minimum depth value, and the touch depth of other fingers on the display panel is used as the maximum depth value to construct a first depth range. When the touch method is a standard touch method, the touch signal with the touch depth in the first depth range corresponds to the touch finger and other fingers adjacent to the touch finger. Therefore, based on the size range of normal fingers and the size of the sensing unit, a first quantity threshold can be preset. This allows the user's current touch method to be determined based on the relationship between the number of sensing units corresponding to the touch signal in the first depth range and the first quantity threshold. The touch method can include standard touch and non-standard touch, and candidate sensing units can be further determined among the sensing units of the display panel based on the touch method.

[0046] In one implementation, Figure 2 This illustrates a hand posture when a user touches a capacitive display panel using a standard touch method (such as vertical touch). According to actual statistical measurements, the height difference between the curled-up other fingers and the touching finger is generally about 4mm to 6mm. Therefore, the difference between the maximum depth value in the first depth range and the first touch depth is greater than or equal to 4mm and less than or equal to 6mm. Preferably, the difference between the maximum depth value in the first depth range and the first touch depth can be 5mm. That is, if the first touch depth is h1, then the first depth range is [h1, h1+5mm].

[0047] Figure 3 Is with Figure 2 This diagram illustrates the signal distribution of touch signals in each sensing unit of a capacitive touch panel corresponding to the medium touch mode. Both regions a and b have sensing units with touch depths within the first depth range. Region a has only one sensing unit, and its touch depth is less than that of the sensing unit in region b. Since the dimensions of a typical sensing unit are approximately 3mm to 4mm, and the diameter of a normal finger does not exceed 9mm, a first quantity threshold can be set accordingly. For example, a first quantity threshold of 9 can be set. If the number of sensing units corresponding to the touch signals in the first depth range (the number of sensing units in regions a and b) is not greater than 9, then... Figure 3 If the number of sensing units in regions a and b shown is 9, then the current touch mode can be determined to be standard touch. Conversely, if the number of sensing units corresponding to the touch signal in the first depth interval is greater than 9, then the current touch mode can be determined to be non-standard touch.

[0048] In one embodiment, when the number of the first sensing units is not greater than a first quantity threshold, that is, when the touch mode is standard touch, step S110 determines at least one candidate sensing unit, including: determining the sensing unit that satisfies the first preset condition as the candidate sensing unit, wherein the first preset condition is that the touch depth of the touch signal corresponding to at least one point in the sensing unit is the first touch depth.

[0049] Understandable, Figure 3 The scenario shown, where there is only one sensing unit corresponding to the minimum touch depth, is an ideal situation. In actual operation, the fingertip of the touch finger may not be located within a single sensing unit on the display panel. For example, it may be located at the intersection of multiple sensing units. In some cases, due to the influence of the touch angle, there may also be situations where the touch depth of the fingertip of other fingers is the same as the touch depth of the touch finger, resulting in the minimum touch depth (first touch depth) appearing in multiple non-adjacent display units. Touch depths with at least one point corresponding to the touch signal and the first touch depth can be used as candidate sensing units. Then, the target sensing unit where the touch point is located can be determined through further identification and judgment among the candidate sensing units.

[0050] In one embodiment, when the touch mode is standard touch, step S120, which determines the target sensing unit among at least one candidate sensing unit, includes: determining the number of first points in each candidate sensing unit, wherein the touch depth of the touch signal corresponding to the first point is the first touch depth; and determining the candidate sensing unit with the most first points as the target sensing unit.

[0051] Understandably, when there is more than one candidate sensing unit, if the portion of the touch signal with a touch depth of the first touch depth (minimum touch depth) is concentrated at the boundary of adjacent sensing units, the more points in a candidate sensing unit with a touch depth of the first touch depth, the larger the area of ​​the fingertip projected onto the candidate sensing unit. Therefore, compared to other candidate sensing units, this candidate sensing unit can be identified as the target sensing unit, and the actual touch points are considered to exist in this candidate sensing unit.

[0052] In one embodiment, when the number of first sensing units is greater than a first threshold, i.e., when the touch mode is non-standard touch, step S110 determines at least one candidate sensing unit, including: determining the point with the smallest signal quantity and its second touch depth among each point corresponding to the effective touch signal in the display panel; wherein the signal quantity of the effective touch signal is greater than a preset touch judgment threshold; determining a second depth range based on the second touch depth; wherein the value of the second touch depth is the maximum depth value in the second depth range; determining at least one candidate sensing unit based on the second depth range; wherein at least one point of the candidate sensing unit has a touch depth of touch signal that is within the second depth range.

[0053] Understandably, in non-standard touch situations, the touch depth of the fingertip touch signal detected by the sensing unit is not the minimum touch depth. Therefore, we can first determine the point with the minimum signal and its corresponding second touch depth. The second touch depth represents the maximum touch depth among the points where the signal detected by the sensing unit of the capacitive display panel is greater than the preset touch judgment threshold (that is, the maximum distance between the part of the user's hand that may be the touch fingertip and the display panel that the sensing unit can detect). Based on the second touch depth, we set a second depth range, determine the second touch depth as the maximum depth value in the second depth range, and reasonably set the minimum depth value in the second depth range according to the hand size. This allows the second depth range to include the depth value corresponding to the actual touch fingertip, and the sensing unit with at least one touch signal corresponding to a touch depth in the second depth range is determined as a candidate sensing unit.

[0054] Figure 4 This illustrates a hand gesture used by a user when touching a capacitive display panel using a non-standard touch method (such as finger tilt touch). Figure 4 As shown, the touch finger is the user's index finger, but the touch depth value corresponding to the index finger is relatively large. The touch depth values ​​corresponding to the fingertips of other fingers, such as the curled index finger, ring finger, and little finger, are all smaller than the touch depth of the index finger. Therefore, the point with the largest signal cannot be directly used as the touch point. When the finger is tilted for touch, according to actual statistical measurements, the height difference between the touch depth of other positions on the hand and the point corresponding to the smallest signal is about 6mm to 10mm. Therefore, the difference between the second touch depth and the minimum depth value in the second depth interval can be set to be greater than or equal to 6mm and less than or equal to 10mm. Preferably, the difference between the second touch depth and the minimum depth value in the second depth interval can be 8mm. That is, if the second touch depth is h2, then the second depth interval is [h2-8mm, h2].

[0055] In one embodiment, when the touch mode is non-standard touch, step S120, which determines the target sensing unit among at least one candidate sensing unit, includes: determining the number of second sensing units adjacent to each candidate sensing unit; wherein the second sensing unit is a sensing unit with a valid touch signal; and determining the candidate sensing unit whose number of adjacent second sensing units is not greater than a preset second number threshold as the target sensing unit.

[0056] Figure 5 Is with Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the signal distribution of touch signals in each sensing unit of a capacitive display panel corresponding to the touch mode. Sensing units in regions c and d are candidate sensing units, while the sensing unit in region e possesses a valid touch signal but its touch depth is not within the second depth range. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the target sensing unit in regions c and d. Based on hand structure, the sensing unit surrounding the fingertip of the touch-sensitive finger should have a significant number of sensing units without valid touch signals, while the sensing unit surrounding the fingertip generally has more sensing units with valid touch signals than the sensing unit surrounding the fingertip. Therefore, by appropriately setting a second quantity threshold and determining the number of adjacent second sensing units (sensing units with valid touch signals) among the candidate sensing units, the target sensing unit can be identified from the candidate sensing units.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, each sensing unit has 8 adjacent sensing units. For example, if the second quantity threshold is set to 3, among the sensing units in regions c and d, only one sensing unit in region c has no more than 3 adjacent second sensing units. Therefore, this sensing unit can be identified as the sensing unit corresponding to the fingertip (i.e., the target sensing unit), and the candidate sensing units in region d can be identified as the sensing units corresponding to the fingertips.

[0058] Using the method of this embodiment, even when the actual touch point is not the point with the largest signal, the region (candidate sensing unit) where the actual touch point is located can be initially determined based on the point with the smallest signal. Then, based on the number of sensing units with effective touch signals adjacent to each candidate sensing unit, the target sensing unit where the actual touch point is located can be determined. This method can recognize the actual touch point under different touch modes, improving the accuracy and smoothness of touch screen interaction.

[0059] In one embodiment, step S130, determining the touch point based on the target sensing unit, includes: determining at least one third point with the largest signal among the points of the target sensing unit, and determining the touch point based on the third point.

[0060] Understandably, regardless of whether a standard or non-standard touch method is used to touch the capacitive display panel, after determining the target sensing unit where the actual touch point is located, the actual touch point can be considered as the point with the largest signal in the target sensing unit. If there is only one point with the largest signal, it can be directly determined as the touch point. If there are multiple points with the same largest signal, the center point of these points can be fitted as the touch point. Alternatively, some points that are significantly far away from other points with the largest signal can be determined as error points. After eliminating the error points, the touch point is determined only based on the other points with the largest signal.

[0061] If we establish a three-dimensional coordinate system with the two mutually perpendicular directions of the plane containing the capacitive display panel as the x-axis and y-axis, and the direction perpendicular to the plane containing the capacitive display panel as the z-axis, then... Figure 6 As shown, for any hand point in the three-dimensional coordinate system, the x-axis and y-axis coordinates can represent the position of its orthographic projection on the capacitive display panel, and the z-axis coordinate can represent the distance between the hand point and the capacitive display panel, that is, the touch depth of the touch signal generated by the hand point detected by the sensing unit.

[0062] Figure 7 This is an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 The flowchart illustrates a touch point recognition process based on a coordinate system. When a touch signal is detected by the sensing unit of the capacitive display panel, it reports the points with valid touch signals and their corresponding signal quantities to the control system in two-dimensional coordinates (including x-axis and y-axis coordinates). The control system determines the point with the largest signal quantity and calculates the first touch depth at that point. Based on the first touch depth and a set first depth range [h1, h1+5mm], it simultaneously counts the number of sensing units whose touch depths fall within the first depth range. The method of finger touch on the capacitive display panel is determined based on the relationship between the number of sensing units and a preset first threshold. For example... Figure 7 If the first quantity threshold is set to 9, then when the number of the first sensing units is less than or equal to 9, the touch mode is determined to be standard touch, and the point with the largest signal quantity can be determined as the touch unit.

[0063] When the number of first sensing units is greater than 9, the touch method can be determined to be non-standard touch. The second touch depth of the point with the smallest signal can be determined among all points with effective touch signals, and the second depth range [h2-8mm, h2] can be determined based on the second touch depth. At the same time, the sensing units with touch depths within the second depth range are counted and these sensing units are determined as candidate sensing units. Then, the number of second sensing units with effective touch signals adjacent to each candidate sensing unit is counted. If the number of second sensing units adjacent to a candidate sensing unit is less than or equal to 3, the candidate sensing unit is determined as the target sensing unit corresponding to the fingertip, and the touch point is further determined in the target sensing unit. If the number of second sensing units adjacent to a candidate sensing unit is greater than 3, the candidate sensing unit is identified as corresponding to the fingertip or other non-touch fingertip hand position.

[0064] It should be noted that the quantity thresholds, the first depth range, and the second depth range in the embodiments of this application need to be determined based on the size of the sensing unit and the size of a normal finger. The specific values ​​mentioned in the embodiments are only illustrative examples. In actual applications, they can be reasonably set according to the actual size. This application is not limited to this.

[0065] The method in this embodiment can distinguish different touch methods and adopt different touch point recognition strategies based on the relevant size parameters of the capacitive display panel and the size parameters of a normal finger. This can overcome the problem of poor touch point recognition accuracy caused by non-standard touch methods when users touch terminals with capacitive display panels, and ensure the accuracy and smoothness of touch screen interaction.

[0072] For example, the difference between the maximum depth value in the first depth range and the first touch depth is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm.
