    摘要: A multi-port driving and sensing circuit is disclosed and provided for multi-load application. The multi-port driving and sensing circuit has a plurality of bridge switching unit and a controlling unit. A first and second upper switches of each bridge switching unit are commonly connected to a driving voltage terminal, and a first and second lower switches are commonly connected to a reference voltage terminal. When the controlling unit executes a sensing procedure, the first and second upper switches of each bridge switching unit disconnect to the driving voltage terminal and a sensing voltage signal of a load connected to each bridge switching unit is read through a signal reading unit. Therefore, when the sensing voltage signal of the load connected to one of the bridge switching units is read, the sensing voltage signal is not interfered by other sensing voltage signals of the load connected to other bridge switching units.

    摘要: A force sensing processing method of a touchpad is provided. The comparison values obtained by subtracting the force induction quantities of different frames are used to determine whether the achievement conditions are met. If it is met, a processing step is executed to respond the event to be triggered by the changing trend of the user's force. When the force changes rapidly and the force sensing amount cannot be quickly returned to the originally set trigger threshold value, the force changing trend detected by the comparison values are be used to provide the processing steps in real time, so as to improve the user experience.

    摘要: A control method of a touchpad is provided. The touchpad has a determination module including a neural network. The determination module is used to determine the type of object. When the user uses the touchpad, the touchpad uses the captured object feature data of the touch object to update the determination module. Therefore, when determining the type of the touch object, the updated determination module can more accurately determine the touch object used by the user, so as to improve the determination accuracy.

    摘要: An active stylus includes a stylus body and a touch sensor. The stylus body includes a first electrode and a pen body. The first electrode is used to send a signal. The pen body extends along a first direction. The touch sensor is provided on or in the pen body and includes a plurality of column electrodes extending along the first direction. There is a first gap between two adjacent column electrodes. Each column electrode has a first sensing electrode and a second sensing electrode. A first end of the first sensing electrode in the first direction has a recess to define a recess area. A second end of the second sensing electrode in the first direction has a projection extending into the recess area. There is a second gap between the projection and the recess. The second gap is smaller than the first gap.

    摘要: A method of changing the identified type of a touching object is provided. The touching object is on a touch pad. The method includes the following steps: (A) when the type of the touching object is determined as a palm, determining the type of the touching object again; (B) when the type of the touching object is determined as a finger in step (A), informing the operating system that the touching object has left the touch pad when the touching object does not leave the touch pad; and (C) after step (B) is done, informing the operating system that the type of the touching object is a finger.

    摘要: A fingerprint sensing system has a fingerprint sensing device and a power supply circuit. The fingerprint sensing device has a high-voltage input terminal and a low-voltage input terminal. During scan phases of the fingerprint sensing device, the power supply circuit provides a first voltage to the high voltage input terminal and provides a second voltage to the low voltage input terminal. During the read phases of the fingerprint sensing device, the power supply circuit provides a third voltage to the high voltage input terminal and provides a fourth voltage to the low voltage input terminal. A first voltage difference is between the first voltage and the second voltage. A second voltage difference is between the third voltage and the fourth voltage. The first voltage difference is greater than the second voltage difference.
