Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices face touch recognition errors when switching from a low-power display mode to a normal display mode due to distorted analog front end values and misrecognized touch inputs, leading to drag recognition issues and baseline reset malfunctions.

Innovation Solution

The device detects touch inputs in low-power mode, stores corresponding touch data, changes to a normal display mode, resets the touch baseline, and compensates for touch strength using stored data to maintain accurate touch recognition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the touch baseline is reset when switching from low-power mode to normal mode, then display noise interference is eliminated and AFE value distortion is prevented, but touch recognition accuracy deteriorates due to loss of previously detected touch data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch recognition accuracyVSAvoiddisplay noise interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by storing touch data before baseline reset occurs. The processor saves touch coordinates and touch strength values to memory before the baseline reset is executed during mode switching, ensuring touch information is preserved for later reconstruction after the reset completes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Memory serves as an intermediary between the touch sensing module and the processor. Touch data is transferred to memory as a buffer, allowing the system to maintain touch information temporarily during the baseline reset transition period, preventing data loss while the reset process occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the touch baseline is not reset during mode switching, then touch recognition continuity is maintained, but AFE value distortion occurs and drag recognition errors arise due to display noise influence

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch detection baseline stabilityVSAvoidtouch strength measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by storing touch data before baseline reset occurs. The processor saves touch coordinates and touch strength values to memory before the baseline reset is executed during mode switching, ensuring touch information is preserved for later reconstruction after the reset completes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback by compensating touch strength values based on the relationship between low-power mode and normal mode characteristics. The processor adjusts stored touch data using compensation values derived from mode-specific calibration, ensuring accurate touch recognition after baseline reset by feeding back corrected values to the touch processing pipeline.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
