Patents by Inventor Hsin-Jui Chou

Hsin-Jui Chou has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11366554
    Abstract: The application discloses a touch controller to determine a position where a user touches a touchscreen. The touchscreen includes a first transmitting electrode, a second transmitting electrode and a receiving electrode. The touch controller includes a signal generation module and a demodulation module. The signal generation module is configured to perform an in-phase code transmission at a first time so that the receiving electrode receives an in-phase code receiving signal correspondingly, and perform an inverting-phase code transmission at a second time so that the receiving electrode receives an inverting-phase code receiving signal correspondingly. The demodulation module is configured to determine the position where the user touches the touchscreen according to the in-phase code receiving signal corresponding to the first time and the inverting-phase code receiving signal corresponding to the second time.

  • Patent number: 10852878
    Abstract: The present application provides a non-orthogonal demodulation module, receiving a received signal and the received signal is related to a summation of a plurality of transmitted signals. The plurality of transmitted signals are corresponding to a plurality of frequencies, and the plurality of transmitted signals are not orthogonal to each other. The non-orthogonal demodulation module comprises a mixing-and-integrating unit, configured to perform mixing operations and integrating operations on the received signal respectively at the plurality of frequencies, to generate a plurality of in-phase components and a plurality of quadrature components corresponding to the plurality of frequencies; and a decoding unit, configured to generate at least a decoding matrix, and compute a plurality of energies corresponding to the plurality of transmitted signals according to the at least a decoding matrix, the plurality of in-phase components and the plurality of quadrature components.
