  • Patent number: 11675458
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a touch detection device, an electronic apparatus and a touch detection method. Each frame of touch related data corresponding to n*m capacitive nodes is obtained by producing n*m coupled signals from encoding operations and subjecting the n*m coupled signals to multiple access accumulation process, common mode suppression process, ADC process and decoding processes. Additionally, touch location information of the n*m capacitive nodes is obtained by acquiring two consecutive frames of touch related data and performing a subtraction operation between the two consecutive frames of touch related data. Therefore, relatively high touch sensing sensitivity is achievable. Before the subtraction operation, common-mode analog voltage amounts subtracted in the common mode suppression process may be not added back for each single frame of touch related data obtained from decoding process.

  • Patent number: 11460962
    Abstract: A touch detection method, a touch control chip and a touch control display device are disclosed. In the touch detection method, coded data is loaded in drive channels and collected from sense channels. The collected data is decoded and subjected to differential processes. This results in a reduced common-mode signal, interference and noise. A touch response detection is carried out to choose at least one sense channel without touch response from sense channels as reference channel. This dynamically chosen reference channel reduces the risk of inaccurate touch location inference caused by abnormalities of static dummy reference channel and helps improve touch location detection accuracy, sense channels close to ends of capacitive touch control device are allowed to participate in touch response detection as other sense channels do, resulting in an expanded touch control range. The touch control chip and touch control display device all have similar advantages.
