Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a touch device, and more particularly, to a touch device capable of measuring an inclination angle with respect to a touch screen and a method for measuring an inclination angle of a capacitive pen.
Background
With the development of information technology, electronic devices such as portable mobile devices are increasingly closely related to the lives of people. Such portable mobile devices may receive user input and perform functions desired by the user in accordance with the input. As an input device for receiving user input, a touch device is widely used due to its advantages of small size, light weight, and easy operation.
Touch devices are mainly classified into two types, a resistive touch device and a capacitive touch device. Resistive touch devices are low cost, easy to manufacture, but can only support single finger operation. The capacitive touch device has strong operability and supports multi-finger functions, and thus becomes the first choice of the current touch devices.
The capacitive touch device comprises a capacitive touch screen, and the capacitive touch screen can sense capacitance change caused by touch of a finger (or a stylus) through orthogonal capacitance graphs distributed on the capacitive touch screen, so that a touch position and touch strength are measured. The capacitive touch screen can be a transparent panel positioned in front of the capacitive touch device, and can also be an opaque man-machine interaction panel.
The problem of inaccurate positioning is caused because the conductor capable of being sensed by the touch screen needs a large contact area, and the support of the pen is not ideal. Therefore, it is expected that the capacitive touch device can support writing with a pen, and at least includes the functions of fine pen point, suspension sensing, precise positioning, precise pressure sensing, and the like.
The active capacitance pen solves the problems and is used in cooperation with a capacitance touch screen. The active capacitance pen can send high-voltage pulse signals synchronous with the capacitance touch screen, capacitance induction is enhanced, so that the contact area can be reduced, and the user experience is obviously enhanced by the thin pen point.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the working principle of a capacitive stylus and a touch screen.
As shown in fig. 1, the touch device includes: a panel on which parallel capacitor plates orthogonal to each other are arranged for transmitting and receiving signals; a transmitting capacitor plate arranged on the panel for transmitting the probe wave outwards; the pen 11 receives the synchronization and command information sent by the panel through the pen point and sends a signal wave to the panel through the pen point; the receiving capacitor plate is arranged on the panel and used for receiving the detection wave of the sending capacitor plate and the signal wave of the pen; the analog signal processing unit sends corresponding waveforms according to the capacitor plates selected by the control processing unit or preprocesses signals from the receiving capacitor plates; and a control processing unit 14, which converts the preprocessed received signal into a digital signal through AD, and obtains the touch position through processing, and obtains the position of the pen and the information returned by the pen in the case that the pen is a capacitive pen.
Therefore, the information interaction between the capacitive pen and the touch screen is mostly realized through capacitive coupling with the touch screen, that is, the capacitive pen interacts with the touch screen through the metal structure at the pen point position.
With the rapid development of touch applications in recent years, users sometimes need to consider the inclination angle of the capacitive pen relative to the touch screen in some painting applications so as to perform special-effect painting, such as spraying effect. In the prior art, a method for measuring an inclination angle of a capacitive pen relative to a touch screen includes: the inclination angle of the capacitive pen is estimated by determining the position of the pen point of the capacitive pen on the touch screen and the position of the touch screen contacted by the palm and fingers of the user holding the capacitive pen, however, the technology needs to detect the positions of the palm and the fingers of the user, has large calculation amount and low detection precision, and also causes estimation errors due to the habit of holding the capacitive pen by a person; the method comprises the steps of arranging a ring electrode separated from a pen point, and measuring capacitive coupling between the pen point and the ring electrode and a touch screen to estimate the inclination angle of the capacitive pen.

In fig. 3, a part of the first portion 1020 is located inside the barrel 100, but in other embodiments, the first portion 1020 may be entirely located inside the barrel 100, and a part of the second portion 1022 may be located inside the barrel 100.
In each communication cycle between the capacitive stylus 10 and the touch screen 20, the touch screen 20 sends a switching command to the capacitive stylus 10, and the control unit 108 of the capacitive stylus 10 enables/disables the shielding unit 104 according to the switching command. The touch screen 20 obtains the centers of gravity of the projections of the pen tip 102 on the touch screen 20 in the shielded state and the unshielded state of the first portion 1020, respectively, and obtains the inclination angle of the capacitive pen 10 relative to the touch screen 20 by comparing the shifts of the centers of gravity.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a tip of a capacitive pen according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 4, the first portion 1020 and the second portion 1022 are each cylindrical. First portion 1020 has a length L1 that is greater than a length L2 of second portion 1022. Also, the diameter of the first portion 1020 is greater than the diameter of the second portion 1022. For example, the diameter of the first portion 1020 is about 4.5mm and the diameter of the first portion 1022 is about 1.5 mm.

Fig. 5A and 5B illustrate the operation principle of the shielding unit of the capacitive stylus according to the embodiment of the present invention. For convenience, the cartridge 100 is not shown in fig. 5.
As shown in fig. 5A, the shielding element 104 is a metal sleeve surrounding the first portion 1020. The second portion 1022 is not surrounded by the shield unit 104.
In fig. 5A and 5B, the capacitive stylus 10 further includes a switch 106 connecting the shielding unit 104 and the ground, and the control unit 108 enables/disables the shielding unit 104 by controlling the switch 106.

Additionally, although the shielding element 104 is shown as a metal sleeve in fig. 5A and 5B, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the shielding element 104 may also be a metal spring surrounding the first portion 1020.
Although in fig. 5A and 5B, the shield unit 104 is enabled/disabled by the switch 106 connecting the shield unit 104 and the ground.

For example, the control unit 108 enables the shielding unit 104 by grounding or setting the IO port to a high impedance.
[ MEASURING ANGLE METHOD ]
The method for measuring the tilt angle between the capacitive stylus and the touch screen according to the present invention is described below.
As shown in fig. 6, a writing plane of the touch screen 20 is defined as x0y plane, and a contact point between the capacitive stylus 10 and the touch screen 20 is defined as a coordinate origin 0. When the capacitive stylus 10 is writing on the touch screen 20, the capacitive stylus 10 is generally tilted as shown in fig. 6.
In order to determine the tilt angle between the capacitive stylus 10 and the touch screen 20, the tilt angle of the capacitive stylus 10 with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis of the touch screen 20 needs to be determined.
Referring to FIG. 7A, the projection P of the capacitive pen 10 in the x0z planexzThe included angle with the x-axis is the tilt angle θ of the capacitive pen 10 relative to the x-axis of the touch screen 20x。
Referring to fig. 7B, an included angle between a projection Pyz of the capacitive pen 10 on the y0z plane and the y-axis is an inclination angle θ of the capacitive pen 10 with respect to the y-axis of the touch screen 20y。
The touch screen 20 has a plurality of electrodes 70 distributed along the x-axis and a plurality of electrodes 72 distributed along the y-axis, as shown in fig. 8. When capacitive pen 10 writes on touch screen 20, through electrodes 70 and 72, is able to detect a location 74 projected on touch screen 20 of the center of gravity of tip 102.
This is because the stylus 102 transmits a high-voltage ac signal, the touch panel 20 can detect the signal transmitted from the stylus 102 through the electrodes 70 and 72 that are capacitively coupled to the stylus 102, and the position of the stylus 102 can be detected through the distribution of the centers of gravity of the signals on the electrodes.
As described above, the tip 102 of the stylus 10 of the present invention has the first portion 1020 and the second portion 1022, the length of the first portion 1020 is greater than the length of the second portion 1020, and the diameter of the first portion 1020 is greater than the diameter of the second portion 1020. In this case, the center of gravity of the stylus 102 projected onto the touch screen 20 may be significantly offset. The following description is made with reference to fig. 9A and 9B.
Fig. 9A shows a state in which the capacitive stylus 10 of the present invention is not tilted. In this state, the projection P of the pen tip 102 on the touch screen 20 is located directly below the pen tip 102.
Fig. 9B shows a state in which the capacitive pen 10 is tilted, that is, a state in which a user performs writing or the like using the capacitive pen 10. In this state, the projection P' of the pen tip 102 on the touch screen 20 is shifted from P. For comparison, the projection P is also shown in fig. 9B.
Just because the tip 102 of the capacitive pen 10 of the present invention has the structure described above with reference to fig. 3-4, when the capacitive pen 10 is tilted, the deviation of the projection P' from P is magnified and can be easily detected by the touch screen 20.
Since the capacitive pen 10 of the present invention employs the shielding unit 104 and the control unit 108, in each communication cycle between the capacitive pen 10 and the touch screen 20, the capacitive coupling between the first portion 1020 of the pen tip 102 and the touch screen 20 can be shielded to obtain the projected gravity center of the pen tip 102, and then the capacitive coupling between the first portion 1020 and the touch screen 20 can be generated to obtain the projected gravity center of the pen tip 102. The touch screen 20 can obtain the inclination angle of the capacitive pen 10 relative to the touch screen 20 by comparing the shifts of the two centers of gravity.
The method for measuring the tilt angle of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 10. It should be noted that the following steps are performed in each communication cycle between the capacitive stylus 10 and the touch screen 20, and by continuously repeating these steps, the touch screen 20 can continuously obtain the tilt angle parameter of the capacitive stylus 10 at any time.
In step S1000, the touch screen 20 sends an enable switch command to the capacitive stylus 10.
In step S1002, the control unit 108 of the capacitive pen 10 enables the shielding unit 104 according to the enable switching command. For example, switch 106 is turned on, thereby grounding metal sleeve 104.
In step S1004, the touch screen 20 acquires the center of gravity of the projection of the pen tip 102 on the touch screen 20. For example, referring to fig. 9A, the coordinates (x1, y1) of the projection P are acquired.
In step S1006, the touch screen 20 sends a disable switching command to the capacitive pen 10.
In step S1008, the control unit 108 of the capacitive stylus 10 disables the shielding unit 104 according to the disable switching command. For example, switch 106 is open, thereby disconnecting metal sleeve 104 from ground.
In step S1010, the touch screen 20 acquires the center of gravity of the projection of the pen tip 102 on the touch screen 20. For example, referring to fig. 9B, the coordinates (x2, y2) of the projection P' are acquired.
In step S1012, the touch panel 20 calculates the shift of the center of gravity by comparison.
In step S1014, the touch screen 20 obtains the inclination angle of the capacitive stylus 10 relative to the touch screen 20 by querying a pre-stored offset-angle mapping table.
Referring to fig. 11, the projection coordinates of the pen tip 102 with respect to the touch screen 20 obtained in steps S1004 and S1010 are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), respectively, and according to the geometrical relationship described with reference to fig. 6 to 7, the tilt angle of the capacitive pen 10 with respect to the x-axis of the touch screen 20 is proportional to the difference value (x2-x1), and the tilt angle with respect to the y-axis of the touch screen 20 is proportional to the difference value (y2-y 1).
Therefore, the coordinate differences (x2-x1) and (x2-x1) at a plurality of prescribed angles may be measured in advance, thereby obtaining the barycentric shift-tilt angle map. In step S1014, the touch screen 20 may quickly obtain the tilt angle of the capacitive stylus 10 relative to the touch screen 20 by querying the barycentric offset-tilt angle mapping table.
Alternatively, coordinate differences (x2-x1) and (x2-x1) at a plurality of prescribed angles may be measured in advance, thereby fitting the center of gravity shift to the inclination angle. In step S1014, the tilt angle of the capacitive pen 10 with respect to the touch screen 20 may be obtained by substituting the corresponding function for the measured coordinate difference values (x2-x1) and (x2-x 1).
In the case where the shield unit 104 is a metallic shield case, as shown in fig. 12, the shield case may be opened upward, and the rear end of the pen tip 102 may be brought into contact with the pressure sensor after protruding from the opening.
By using the touch device and the method for measuring the inclination angle of the capacitive pen, a user can perform operation based on the inclination angle on the touch screen, so that special effects such as spraying in soft pen calligraphy and drawing applications are realized, and the application range of the touch device is expanded.
