Solution Overview

Problem

Current frequency adaptive algorithms are insufficient in eliminating interference from chargers, particularly quick chargers, which affect the performance of touch screens, even when normal chargers are used.

Innovation Solution

A method for determining the interference frequency based on the charging mode, allowing the touch screen to operate at a working frequency different from the interference frequency, thereby reducing interference and improving control experience. This involves identifying the charging mode as either quick or normal, determining the interference frequency, and selecting an appropriate working frequency to minimize interference.

1Reliability

If a frequency adaptive algorithm is used to detect and avoid interference frequency, then the touch screen can operate at a different frequency, but the algorithm cannot completely eliminate interference from quick chargers due to large charging current

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic switching between two different working frequencies (first and second working frequencies) based on the detected interference frequency. The system continuously monitors the interference frequency and dynamically adjusts the touch screen's working frequency to avoid the interference, rather than using a static frequency adaptation approach. This dynamic frequency switching mechanism enables the touch screen to effectively eliminate interference from both normal and quick chargers.

2Productivity

If the charging current is increased for quick charging, then charging speed is improved, but common-mode interference seriously affects touch screen performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging speedVSAvoidcommon-mode interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the working frequency parameter of the touch screen based on the detected interference frequency. When interference is detected at a particular frequency, the system switches to an alternative working frequency that is different from the interference frequency. This parameter change approach allows the touch screen to maintain reliable operation during quick charging by operating at a frequency that avoids the common-mode interference generated by the high charging current.
