  • Publication number: 20240246598
    Abstract: A method for steering wheel touch detection is disclosed. The steering wheel is partitioned into at least one touch detection region and each touch detection region includes at least one touch detection sensor that is provided with a touch detection channel. For each touch detection channel, the method includes configuring a reference load with a preset capacitance value and reference resistance value, measuring a capacitance value and resistance value of the reference load, and determining from the reference and measured capacitance and resistance values whether the operation of the touch detection channel is normal. If the operation of the touch detection channel is normal, the touch detection channel is used to perform touch detection of the steering wheel based on measured resistance and capacitance.
