Abstract

The present invention provides a method for communication between a touch control device and an external device, comprising the following steps: when an external device communicates with a touch screen, sending, by the external device, 1-bit data to the touch screen within each sending period, wherein the 1-bit data sent within each sending period is a combination of a valid signal and an invalid signal, or an invalid signal; scanning, by the touch screen, the bit data based on a predetermined scanning period to obtain N frames of scanned data, wherein the predetermined scanning period is 1/N of the sending period; obtaining a strength of an LCD interference signal according to one frame of data having a minimum signal strength among the N frames of scanned data; and reducing noise for the N frames of scanned data according to the strength of the LCD interference signal.

Claims (21)

1. A method communication between a touch control device and an external device, comprising the following steps:

when the external device communicates with a touch screen of the touch control device, sending, by the external device, 1-bit data to the touch screen within each sending period, wherein the 1-bit data sent within each sending period is a combination of a valid signal and an invalid signal, or an invalid signal;

scanning, by the touch screen, the 1-bit data based on a predetermined scanning period to obtain N frames of scanned data, wherein the predetermined scanning period is 1/N of the sending period;

determining, by the touch control device, a frame of scanned data having a minimum signal strength among the N frames of scanned data;

determining, by the touch control device, the minimum signal strength is a strength of an LCD interference signal; and

reducing noise for the N frames of scanned data according to the strength of the LCD interference signal comprising:

subtracting, by the touch control device, the strength of the LCD interference signal from a signal strength of each of remaining frames, except for the frame of scanned data having the minimum signal strength, of the N frames of scanned data respectively.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the reducing the noise for the N frames of scanned data according to the strength of the LCD interference signal, the method further comprises:

subtracting the frame of scanned data having the minimum signal strength from the remaining frames of scanned data in the N frames of scanned data to obtain a difference;

comparing the difference with a predetermined value; and

obtaining a value corresponding to the 1-bit data according to a comparison result, wherein if the difference is greater than the predetermined value, judging that the value corresponding the 1-bit data is 1, and otherwise, judging that the value corresponding the 1-bit data is 0.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein if the 1-bit data sent within each sending period comprises the valid signal, a predetermined sending time of the valid signal is equal to the scanning period.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the frame of scanned data having a minimum signal strength is one frame of scanned data corresponding to the invalid signal.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the touch control device is a mobile terminal, and the external device is a touch pen or a mobile terminal.

6. A system for communication between a touch control device and an external device, comprising the touch control device and the external device; wherein

when the external device establishes communication with a touch screen of the touch control device, the external device is configured to send 1-bit data to the touch screen within each sending period, wherein the 1-bit data sent within each sending period is a combination of a valid signal and an invalid signal, or an invalid signal; and

the touch control device is configured to scan the 1-bit data based on a predetermined scanning period to obtain N frames of scanned data, wherein the predetermined scanning period is 1/N of the sending period; determine a frame of scanned data having a minimum signal strength among the N frames of scanned data; determine the minimum signal strength is a strength of an LCD interference signal; and reduce noise for the N frames of scanned data according to the strength of the LCD interference signal comprising subtracting the strength of the LCD interference signal from a signal strength of each of remaining frames, except for the frame of scanned data having the minimum signal strength, of the N frames of scanned data respectively.

7. The system according to claim 6 , wherein after reducing the noise for the N frames of scanned data according to the strength of the LCD interference signal, the touch control device is further configured to: subtract the frame of scanned data having the minimum signal strength from the remaining frames of scanned data in the N frames of scanned data to obtain a difference; compare the difference with a predetermined value; and obtain a value corresponding to the 1-bit data according to the comparison result, wherein if the difference is greater than the predetermined value, judge that the value corresponding the 1-bit data is 1, and otherwise, judge that the value corresponding the 1-bit data is 0.

8. The system according to claim 6 , wherein if the 1-bit data sent within each sending period comprises the valid signal, a predetermined sending time of the valid signal is equal to the scanning period.

9. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the frame of scanned data having a minimum signal strength is one frame of scanned data corresponding to the invalid signal.

10. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the touch control device is a mobile terminal, and the external device is a touch pen or a mobile terminal.
