Touch sensor control device having a calibration unit for calibrating detection sensitivity of a touch except for a mask region
A touch sensor control device which performs appropriate calibration is realized. A touch sensor control device ( 3 ) of one aspect of the invention controls a touch sensor ( 5 ) and includes a touch position detection unit ( 14 ) which specifies a touch position on a detection surface of the touch sensor; a mask generation unit ( 15 ) which sets a mask region according to the touch position; and a calibration value generation unit ( 16 ) which performs, for a region except the mask region, calibration of detection sensitivity of a touch.
1. A touch sensor control device which controls a touch sensor, comprising:
a touch position specification unit which specifies a touch position on a detection surface of the touch sensor;
a mask setting unit which sets, according to the touch position, a mask region including both of the touch position and a surrounding region of the touch position; and
a calibration unit which performs, for a region of the detection surface except the mask region, calibration of detection sensitivity of a touch.
2. The touch sensor control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a signal acquisition unit which acquires sense signals from the touch sensor, wherein
for generation of calibration data of the detection sensitivity, the calibration unit uses the acquired sense signals for the region except the mask region and uses past calibration data for the mask region.
3. The touch sensor control device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a signal value adjustment unit which adjusts values of the sense signals by using the calibration data such that adjusted sense data has values corresponding to presence or absence of an indicator which is in contact with or proximate to the detection surface and thereby generates the adjusted sense data, wherein
the touch position specification unit specifies the touch position from the adjusted sense data.
4. A touch sensor control device which controls a touch sensor, comprising:
a touch position specification unit which specifies a touch position on a detection surface of the touch sensor;
a mask setting unit which sets a mask region according to the touch position;
a calibration unit which performs, for a region of the detection surface except the mask region, calibration of detection sensitivity of a touch;
a signal acquisition unit which acquires sense signals from the touch sensor;
wherein for generation of calibration data of the detection sensitivity, the calibration unit uses the acquired sense signals for the region except the mask region and uses past calibration data for the mask region,
wherein the mask setting unit estimates an arrival position at which the touch position arrives at a certain time, and sets the mask region which includes the arrival position, and
the calibration unit generates the calibration data of the detection sensitivity by using the sense signals at the time for the region except the mask region.
5. The touch sensor control device according to claim 4 , wherein
the mask region includes a rectangular region with the touch position as a center thereof, and
the rectangular region corresponds to a 3 cm×3 cm square on the detection surface.
6. The touch sensor control device according to claim 4 , wherein
the mask region includes a rectangular region with the touch position as a center thereof, and
the rectangular region corresponds to a 3 cm×3 cm square on the detection surface.
