  • Publication number: 20190018054
    Abstract: A key detecting method and apparatus, which relate to touch sensing technologies, where the key detecting method includes: sampling an output signal value, and calculating a current noise value and a current signal value respectively according to the sampling result (S101); determining, according to the current noise value and the current signal value, whether a noise variation and a signal variation reach a corresponding noise variation threshold and signal variation threshold, respectively (S102); and determining an operating state of a key according to the determination result (S103). With the above method and apparatus, there is no need to additionally provide a complex auxiliary circuit to realize detection of a state of the key, instead, a state of a smart terminal is determined by correspondingly sampling and calculating the signal value, thereby reducing the cost and meanwhile improving the accuracy of the detection of the state of the key.
