  • Patent number: 9442617
    Abstract: A multi-channel sensing system and operating method thereof are disclosed. The multi-channel sensing system includes a transceiver, emitting electrodes, and a receiving electrode. The transceiver includes a spreading code generator and a modulator. The spreading code generator generates a non-orthogonal spreading code through an invertible matrix and then the modulator modulates a data signal to spreading signals according to the non-orthogonal spreading code. The emitting electrodes, corresponding to sensing channels respectively, emit the spreading signals at the same time to pass through corresponding sensing channels respectively, and the spreading signals are converted into coupled signals by capacitive coupling. The receiving electrode receives the coupled signals and generates a received signal according to the coupled signals.

  • Patent number: 9041673
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of controlling a noise processing circuit of a touch panel and a related noise signal processing apparatus. At first, the present invention detects whether the touch panel is interfered with by noise. Then, according to whether the noise interferes with the touch panel, the noise processing circuit is controlled to be activated or not activated. Therefore, the noise processing circuit can be turned off if it is unnecessary, thereby to reduce the workload due to the noise processing.

  • Publication number: 20120038573
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a plurality of X-directional sensing lines and a plurality of Y-directional sensing lines. The X-directional sensing lines and the Y-directional sensing lines are arranged in a staggered manner, and a plurality of mutual capacitors are formed between every X-directional sensing line and every Y-directional sensing line. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the scanning method first selects the number of sensing lines to be measured to determine a measurement channel. Driving signals are applied to other sensing lines excluding the measurement channel in scanning procedures. After the driving signals are applied, two voltages at nodes of the measurement channel are detected to obtain a touch position on the touch panel.
