Abstract

A touch display driving apparatus, a method, and a touch display apparatus are provided. The touch display driving apparatus is connected with a touch display panel; and the touch display driving apparatus includes a controller and a memory connected with the controller, wherein the memory is configured to store display data and touch data; and the controller is configured to perform a first reading and writing operation for reading and writing display data in the memory, when the touch display panel is in a display working period; or, perform a second reading and writing operation for reading and writing touch data in the memory, when the touch display panel is in a touch working period.

Claims (31)

1. A touch display driving apparatus, which is connected with a touch display panel; the touch display driving apparatus comprises a controller and a memory connected with the controller, wherein:

the memory is configured to store display data and touch data;

the controller is configured to perform a first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data in the memory, when the touch display panel is in a display working period; or, perform a second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data in the memory, when the touch display panel is in a touch working period;

the controller comprises a first reading and writing module and a first arbitration module;

the first arbitration module is configured to determine different priorities for the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data and the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data, when a conflict between the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data and the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data occurs; and

the first reading and writing module is configured to perform the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data and the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data in the memory, in order of priority from high to low.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a first timing controller and a second timing controller respectively connected with the controller, wherein

the first timing controller is configured to output a first signal to the controller, when the touch display panel is in the display working period;

the second timing controller is configured to output a second signal to the controller, when the touch display panel is in the touch working period; and

the controller is configured to perform the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data in the memory, in response to the first signal; or, perform the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data in the memory, in response to the second signal, wherein a frequency of the second signal is the same as a frequency of the first signal.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein clock cycles of the first signal and the second signal each comprise: a first time segment and a second time segment, wherein the second time segment follows the first time segment; and

the controller is configured to perform, based on a signal corresponding to the first time segment in the first signal, the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data in the memory; or, perform, based on a signal corresponding to the second time segment in the second signal, the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data in the memory.

4. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the memory comprises: a random access memory.

5. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the memory comprises: a random access memory.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a priority of the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data is higher than a priority of the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the memory comprises: a random access memory.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first arbitration module is configured to determine that a priority of the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data is higher than a priority of the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data, when a data amount of data to be read or written corresponding to the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data is smaller than a data amount of data to be read or written corresponding to the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data; or, determine that the priority of the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data is lower than the priority of the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data, when the data amount of data to be read or written corresponding to the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data is larger than the data amount of data to be read or written corresponding to the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the memory comprises: a random access memory.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the controller is further configured to read first data from data stored in the memory, in response to a first request message for reading the first data received from a host; and send the first data to the host; or, store second data received from the host into the memory, in response to a second request message for writing the second data from the host.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the controller comprises a second reading and writing module and a second arbitration module, wherein

the second arbitration module is configured to, when a conflict between at least one reading and writing operation of the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing the display data and the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing the touch data and any one request message of the first request message for reading the first data and the second request message for writing the second data occurs, determine different priorities for the at least one reading and writing operation and the any one request message; and

the second reading and writing module is configured to perform the at least one reading and writing operation in the memory and respond to the any one request message, in order of priority from high to low.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the memory comprises: a random access memory.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the memory comprises: a random access memory.

14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory comprises: a random access memory.

15. A touch display apparatus, comprising: a touch display panel and a touch display driving apparatus connected with the touch display panel, wherein the touch display driving apparatus is the touch display driving apparatus of claim 1 .

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the touch display apparatus is a wearable device.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the wearable device comprises: a host.

18. A driving method, applied to the touch display driving apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises:

performing, by the controller in the touch display driving apparatus, the first reading and writing operation for reading and writing display data in the memory in the touch display driving apparatus, when the touch display panel is in the display working period; or, performing, by the controller, the second reading and writing operation for reading and writing touch data in the memory, when the touch display panel is in the touch working period.
