[0028] Example 1

[0029] An embodiment of the present application provides a protective cover for a camera, which not only protects the camera but also has a touch function.

[0030] The following will refer to Figure 1 The protective cover of the camera of this application is described in detail, such as Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover of the camera of this application includes:

[0031] The cover body 1 has a touch sensing ITO 14 disposed on its inner side. The touch sensing ITO 14 forms a touch sensing area 4 on the cover body 1 . The pad of the touch sensing ITO 4 is connected to a touch FPC 5 via an anisotropic conductive film.

[0032] In this embodiment, the cover body 1 is made of aluminosilicate glass or sapphire.

[0033] In this embodiment, the thickness of the cover plate body 1 is 0.5 to 0.7 mm.

[0034] In this embodiment, two mounting holes 3 are designed on the left and right sides of the cover body 1 for assembling the camera module. A transparent area 2 for the flash light to pass through is reserved at the middle top position of the cover body 1, and the touch sensing area 4 is located between the two groups of mounting holes 3.

[0035] In other embodiments, the position and number of the mounting through holes 3 can be adaptively adjusted according to the camera installation process requirements while ensuring that the touch sensing area 4 is not affected.

[0036] In this embodiment, a silk screen ink layer 12 is provided on the inner side of the cover body 1 , a first OC insulating layer 13 is provided between the touch sensing ITO 14 and the silk screen ink layer 12 , and a second OC insulating layer 15 is provided between the touch FPC 5 and the touch sensing ITO 14 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the touch sensing area 4 adopts a self-capacitive solution. The rectangular touch pattern and wiring are made of ITO material through coating and exposure etching. A pad for the touch channel is left in the bottom area, and the touch FPC5 is connected to the pad through ACF (anisotropic conductive film).

[0038] It is understandable that touch-related circuits will be designed and corresponding electronic components will be placed on the touch FPC5, such as integrated circuit IC, capacitors, resistors, etc. The touch channel of the IC is electrically connected through the wiring of the touch FPC5, ACF and the touch-sensitive ITO14 of the cover body 1. The power supply and communication of the IC are electrically connected through the wiring of the touch FPC5 and the mainboard connector, and the communication interface adopts the IIC communication interface.

[0039] In this embodiment, the integrated circuit IC of the touch FPC5 scans the touch layer at the frequency set by the firmware fw during normal operation, and reports the capacitance change and coordinate position of the touch-sensitive ITO14 to the mainboard. The central control HOST is set to process the data received by the mainboard through an algorithm and perform a series of mobile phone interactions, such as double-clicking to wake up, triple-clicking to turn on the flashlight, drawing a pattern to open an application software APP or a quick payment interface, and other related gesture operations.
