    Abstract: A biological feature-sensing device for acquiring biological feature information by sensing a biological feature is provided. The biological feature-sensing device includes a capacitive touch panel and a control circuit. The capacitive touch panel includes signal transmitting lines and signal receiving lines. A first pitch of the signal transmitting lines or a second pitch of the signal receiving lines is greater than or equal to a minimum on-center spacing of the biological feature. The control circuit receives first and second voltage signals through two sets of signal receiving lines in response to first and second charge/discharge signals transmitted through two sets of signal transmitting lines, and generates a characteristic value according to the first and second voltage signals. Many characteristic values corresponding to different combinations of the signal transmitting lines and signal receiving lines are generated accordingly to form a characteristic value matrix representing the biological feature information.

    Abstract: A driving signal is outputted to each of the first and second capacitors in a measurement period so that voltage changes occur at the first and second capacitors. First and second modulating voltage signals are provided for the first and the second capacitors in the measurement period. An output signal in a first state or a second state according to a voltage difference between the first and second capacitors is generated. One of the voltage values of the first and second modulating voltage is automatically adjusted according to the output signal. A characteristic value for indicating a capacitance difference between the first capacitor and the second capacitor, which correlates to a length of time from a start point of the measurement period to a specified point that a condition change of the output signal occurs or a slope of the first or second modulating voltage signal, is generated.

    Abstract: For sensing a control point on a capacitive-type panel, first and second voltage signals are respectively received through two sets of receiving lines selected from N receiving lines in response to first and second charge/discharge signals transmitted through two sets of transmitting lines selected from M transmitting lines, respectively, during a specified time period. A characteristic value is generated by operating the first and second voltage signals. Repeat the steps to generate characteristic values for neighboring regions defined by different combinations of transmitting lines and receiving lines. Position information of control point(s) on the capacitive-type panel is estimated accordingly.
