Abstract:
An apparatus with both touch sensing and electrical field sensing functions and an interactive apparatus using the same are provided. The apparatus with both touch sensing and electrical field sensing functions comprises a control circuit, a first capacitive sensing electrode and a second capacitive sensing electrode. The first capacitive sensing electrode is coupled to a first sensing control terminal of the control circuit. The second capacitive sensing electrode is coupled to a second sensing control terminal of the control circuit. In a first period, the first capacitive sensing electrode is charged to a first voltage through the first sensing control terminal, and the second sensing control terminal supplies an electrical field pulse to the second capacitive sensing electrode such that the second capacitive sensing electrode outputs an electrical field pulse signal. In the first period, the control circuit determines whether the first capacitive sensing electrode is touched or not according to a period, during which a voltage of the first capacitive sensing electrode is discharged from the first voltage to a second voltage, and determines whether the second capacitive sensing electrode approximates the first capacitive sensing electrode or not according to whether the first capacitive sensing electrode synchronously detects the electrical field pulse or not.

A decoder for a wireless charging transmitter and a wireless charging transmitter using the same are provided in the present invention. In order to adapt the wide range of the received signal from the wireless charging receiver, which usually results in the error of the decode, the feedback circuit of the wireless charging transmitter is changed, so that the signal in a certain swing is amplified by an original gain, and the signal out of the certain swing is amplified by a limited gain. Therefore, the amplified signal is able to show the characteristic of the original received signal. Thus, the accuracy of decoding is increased.

A system for page detection using light attenuators is applied in a book to detect an opened page of the book. The book has N pages and each page has a page detection area in which at most M light attenuators are installed in each page detection area. A light source passes through the at most M light attenuators for attenuating intensity of the light source. M light sensing devices are installed in an area of the book that corresponds to the page detection area. The M light sensing devices are used to detect attenuated intensities of the light source. A controller is connected to the M light sensing devices for detecting the opened page based on a ratio of the intensities of the light source detected by the M light sensing devices on each page.
