    Multimode touch screen device
    The field of the invention is that of touch screens also known as "touchscreens". These screens are sensitive surfaces activated by the finger or hand of a user and most often allow to control a device or a system through a graphical interface. There are many uses in fields such as computer science, telecommunications or aeronautics. For the latter field, mention will be made, in particular, of aircraft control. A pilot can thus control and control all the functions displayed by the display devices of the dashboard of the aircraft.
    An ideal touch system must be able to handle the movement of one or more sliders by touch and manage the support of one or more keys. It must be robust to failures and able to operate, in degraded mode, on at least one mode. For aeronautical applications, left / right hand information or Pilot / Co-pilot must be available for securing and prioritizing support. In addition, the system must allow to associate with each support a force along the normal axis to the surface of the touch screen, and the determination of the direction of support.
    There are various "touchscreen" technologies, the two main ones being capacitive touch surfaces and resistive touch surfaces. The projected capacitive touch surfaces operate by acquiring a change in electrical capacitance when the user approaches his finger of the touch surface. A light touch is enough, allowing the movement of one or more sliders, but these touch surfaces do not work with any glove or stylus. In addition, conditional validation to a support effort is not possible. By way of example, PCT application WO 2004/061808 describes a touch sensor of this type.
    The resistive touch surfaces allow, to a certain extent, to control the support force, to work with gloves and any stylus. On the other hand, moving a cursor by a simple touch is no longer possible.
    To overcome these disadvantages, various technical solutions have been proposed. For example, US Pat. No. 6,492,979 describes a secure "touchscreen" coupled to strain gauges and capacitive electrodes, making it possible to give information on the force applied, but this device does not know how to discern multiple supports. Patent GB 2 453 403 thus describes a multiplexed capacitive touch system comprising low-pass filters so as to reduce the sensitivity to electromagnetic disturbances. EP 2 009 542 discloses a touch screen comprising two measuring devices consisting of two stages of infrared diodes for redundancy of the system, but this dual sensor stage can not discern support by a simple touch.
    Finally, patents FR 2 925 714 and FR 2 925 717 of Stantum describe various types of multi-contact touch sensors. These sensors combine capacitive measurement and resistive measurement. As can be seen in FIG. 1 extracted from patent FR 2 925 714, the touch sensor 1 is disposed on a display screen 2 connected by electronic interfaces 3 to a main processor 4 and a graphics processor 5. This sensor comprises a matrix passive muticontacts comprising means for supplying electrical power to one of the two axes of the matrix and means for detecting electrical characteristics along the other axis of the matrix, at intersections between the two axes, the measured characteristic being alternately the capacity and resistance. However, the alternation of capacitive and resistive measurements doubles the acquisition time and the presence of two processing lines doubles the cost of the processing electronics.
    The multimode touch screen device according to the invention does not have these disadvantages. The principle of the invention consists in making two operating principles coexist in a single processing device, associated with a single substrate capable of operating indifferently and simultaneously in multiplexed projected and resistive capacitive mode. The touch sensor according to the invention thus modulates the two capacitance and resistance information on the same signal making it possible to simultaneously obtain these two information without latency. This device thus allows a "dual" mode of operation by touching and by activation while requiring only simple adaptations of the current devices insofar as the heart of the device essentially resides in the electronic control and processing of the touch screen and not in the touchscreen itself.
    More specifically, the invention relates to a touch screen device comprising at least one multiplexed touch screen, a control electronics and an acquisition and processing electronics, the touch screen comprising a first rigid substrate comprising a plurality of lines conductive, a second flexible substrate having a plurality of conductive columns perpendicular to said lines, the control electronics comprising a first multiplexer addressing the plurality of conductive lines, the acquisition and processing electronics comprising a second multiplexer addressing the plurality of columns conductive, characterized in that the control electronics comprises a generator of a high frequency voltage supplying the first multiplexer so that each line is subjected to an input voltage, the acquisition and processing electronics includes a demodulator synchronous operating at at the same frequency as the high frequency voltage generator and delivering a plurality of output voltages on each column and calculating means for calculating the impedance existing between each output voltage and the input voltage.
    Advantageously, the acquisition and processing electronics comprise first storage means making it possible to map the values of the different impedances on the entire touch screen in the absence of the hand of a user in the vicinity of the screen. touch screen and second storage means for mapping the variations of the values of the different impedances on the entire touch screen in the presence of the hand of a user in the vicinity of the touch screen. The acquisition and processing electronics may also comprise impedance analysis means making it possible to calculate the resistive portion and the capacitive portion of said impedance as well as means of recognition of the touching, also called "pull-down". Of the touch screen by a user's finger, said "pull-down" corresponding to a local increase of said capacitive portion of the impedance. Finally, the acquisition and processing electronics may include physical contact recognition means also called "pull-up" of the touch screen by a user's finger, said "pull-up" corresponding to a local decrease of said resistive portion of the impedance, as well as means for calculating the respective barycentres of the different "pull-downs" and different "pull-ups" allowing, among other things, to determine whether the hand of the user is a hand right or left hand. The acquisition and processing electronics may also include means of security or "monitoring" comprising means for comparing the resistive portion and the capacitive portion of each impedance to a predetermined value so as to deduce a possible break of the line or column corresponding to said impedance. In a first example, in at least one area of the touch screen, the acquisition and processing electronics only take into account the "pull up" function so as to create a virtual keyboard in said zone. In a second variant, in at least one area of the touch screen, the acquisition and processing electronics only take into account the "pull down" function so as to create a tactile touch-pad surface. in said area.
    The invention also relates to a display device comprising at least one display screen and a touch screen device as defined above, this device can be an aircraft dashboard display for use separately or simultaneously by a pilot and a co-pilot.
    The invention will be better understood and other advantages will become apparent on reading the description which follows given by way of non-limiting example and by virtue of the appended figures among which:
    Figure 1 already commented represents a tactile keyboard according to the prior art;
    FIG. 2 represents the general principle of a touch screen according to the invention;
    FIG. 3 represents the electronic diagram of a touch screen device according to the invention;
    FIG. 4 represents the electronic diagram of an intersection comprising a line and a column of said touch screen device;
    Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 show the variations of the impedance at said intersection generated by the finger or hand of a user of said touch screen in different cases;
    Figures 9, 10 and 11 show three modes of use of the touch screen device according to the invention.
    Figure 2 shows the general principle of a touch screen device 10 according to the invention. This figure comprises a top view of the screen, a profile view and on the right side of FIG. 2, two block diagrams showing the operation of the device according to whether a user approaches his hand 11 of the screen 10 or press it while exerting pressure. As seen in this figure, the device comprises a touch screen 10 which is a multiplexed tactile surface, composed of lines 12 and columns 13 deposited facing a flexible substrate 14 and a rigid substrate 15. Such a device naturally operates in resistive mode. When an operator presses on the flexible substrate 14, the local force causes the contact of at least one line and a column, at the node of the support varying the resistance R of the intersection of this line and this column. it is sufficient to measure to obtain the location of the support (diagram at the bottom right of Figure 2). This type of slab is traditional and manufactured especially by the English company "Danielson". The heart of the invention is to operate this slab in capacitive mode without modifying it. It is known, in fact, that when a user touches a keyboard, his hand can cause variations in the capacities located at the intersections of the rows and columns of the touch screen, lines and columns naturally having a coupling capability. To ensure this function, a generator 20 supplies sinusoidal high frequency voltage to the slab 10 via an injection capacity. At high frequency, there is a natural capacitive effect C at intersections of lines and columns (diagram at the top right of Figure 2).
    More specifically and by way of non-limiting example, the entire device with touch screen according to the invention is shown in Figure 3. It comprises: - A touch screen 10 composed of rows and columns as described above; - Control electronics 20; - Acquisition and processing electronics 30.
    The control electronics 20 comprises: a high-frequency voltage generator 21. The value of the voltage and its frequency essentially depend on the parameters of the mesh of the rows and columns and the distance separating them; a first multiplexer 22 addressing the plurality of conductive lines 12 of the touch-sensitive panel 10 through an injection capacitor 23, the voltage of the input signal being denoted V | N. The multiplexer is not perfect and has capacitive losses 24 at the frequency in question.
    The acquisition and processing electronics 30 comprises: a second multiplexer 31 addressing the plurality of conductive columns having capacitive losses 35; a synchronous demodulator 32 operating at the same frequency as the high-frequency voltage generator 21 and delivering a plurality of output voltages V0ut on each column; an analog-digital converter 33 making it possible to convert the analog signal into a digital signal; calculation, storage and control means making it possible to calculate the impedance Z existing between each output voltage and the input voltage, to memorize it, to determine its resistive and capacitive component, to deduce from it the type action of the user on the touch screen.
    The synchronous demodulation performed by the demodulator 32 makes it possible to filter the electromagnetic disturbances known as "EMI" by acting as a high quality factor bandpass filter, which avoids the use of passive filtering. In addition, even if the disturbance is at a frequency close to the frequency of the generator 21, it is filtered thanks to the high selectivity of the filter and the fact that the disturbance can never be synchronous with the injection frequency. In a complementary manner, it is possible to slightly and pseudo-randomly vary the injection frequency so as never to be disturbed, including by an identical frequency and in phase.
    FIG. 4 represents the equivalent electric circuit diagram of the device for an intersection of a line and a given column. The line has an equivalent resistance R1. The generator feeds this line through the injection capacity 23. In parallel, the first input multiplexer has a capacitor 24. The column has an equivalent resistance Rc- In parallel, the second output multiplexer has a capacitance 35. At the intersection of the line and the column, the hand or the finger of the user will cause a variation of the impedance Z having both a resistive component Rz and a capacitive component Cz. The classical relation linking the input voltage and the output voltage is Vout = Z Vin with, in complex form, Z = A + Bj,
    The signal is then demodulated by the synchronous demodulator in order to extract the effective value Vout = Vin * χ λ / (Α2 + Β2).
    Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 show the variations of this rms value when the touch surface is used. In these figures, there is shown to the left the position of the hand 11 of the user relative to the touch surface 10 and to the right the graph representing the variation of the corresponding output signal Vout as a function of the position on a line requested by the user's hand. On these graphs, the input voltage Vin has also been included.
    In Figure 5, the hand of the user is away from the touch screen. The energized line is capacitively coupled to the columns, forming a capacitive divider bridge with the measuring device which has a coupling capability with respect to ground. The signal obtained is at an intermediate potential between the supply voltage Vin and the ground, the resistance Rz is infinite and the capacity Cz of zero support. This signal is, of course, constant throughout the line.
    Figure 6 shows the touch of the slab by the hand of the user. By touching is meant the fact that the finger touches or touches the touchscreen without exerting measurable pressure. The finger then projects a capacitance which will couple at the node the line and the column at ground causing a local attenuation of the signal as seen in the graph of Figure 6. The finger acts as a local "pull down".
    In the case of non-pressure contact as shown in FIG. 7, the coupling capacitance increases up to a threshold and then remains constant. The signal decreases to a minimum. It is thus possible to follow the movement of the finger.
    In the case of contact with pressure as shown in FIG. 8, during a support and depending on the force applied, either a capacitance between the contact point and the ground is created, or a contact resistance between lines and columns. In the case of a physical contact with pressure, the capacitive coupling line / columns disappears, the resistance Rz decreases, the signal increases. It is said that the finger acts as a local "pull up".
    Thus, a simple signal analysis at a row / column cross. allows very simply to determine: - the absence of the hand: the signal is constant; - the touch: the signal decreases locally; - the contact: the signal reaches a minimum; - contact with pressure: the signal increases.
    To give orders of magnitude, for touch screens whose surface is from one to a few tens of dm2, the variations in the capacity to be detected are of the order of a few tens of picoFarads and the variations of resistance to be detected are of order of a few tens of ohms. The detection of variations of this order is conventional and can be obtained by means known to those skilled in the art.
    Of course, it is possible to carry out a complete mapping of the signals over the entire matrix of row / column crossings. It is then possible to define three detection modes detailed below and represented in FIGS. 9, 10 and 11: FIG. 9: "Projected Capacitive" mode for detecting the approach of the hand or the finger, as well as its direction approach. In Figure 9, the intersections 16 of the slab 10 where the signal is representative of this mode are shown in light gray; - Figure 10 so-called "discrete Capacitive" mode for detecting that finger or fingers brush the surface, which ensures a multi-slider management. In Figure 10, the intersections 16 of the slab 10 where the signal is representative of this mode are represented in dark gray; - Figure 11: "Resistive" mode: From a certain pressure, the multiple supports are detected and the analysis of both the contact resistance and the section of the support, allows to give the information pressure. In FIG. 11, the intersections 16 of the slab 10 where the signal is representative of this mode are shown in black, the variation of the signal makes it possible to determine the intensity of the pressure. Thus, the hand 11 on the right of Figure 11 bears more strongly on the touch screen 10 that the hand 11 on the left of the same figure causing a stronger and wider signal variation.
    In the absence of approaching the hand, the touch controller of the device can permanently perform an "image" of the signals from the slab and deduce a "table" of the signals at rest by sliding average, this table being stored. This image is subtracted from the table of instantaneous values, to form the table of deviations, from which it is possible to attribute to each point or each intersection its status.
    Such a device is therefore "multitouch" and makes it possible to manage the movement of one or more cursors by touching in capacitive mode, with possibility of overflowing buttons without inadvertent activation. A simple pressure allows the validation of one or more objects, the analysis of the bearing surface for measuring the deformation of the finger, and therefore the pressure, which gives a third axis of detection. One can thus have a true three-dimensional information of the position of the hand.
    In addition, the projected capacity at the point of the support defines an elongated shape in the direction of the hand, by capacitive projection thereof. The barycentre of the capacitive support is thus shifted from that of the resistive support, this shift forming a vector indicating the direction of the support. It should be noted that this shift of the capacitive support relative to the actual support is normally a defect of the capacitive touch panels, generally corrected by software. In this case, this defect is exploited and becomes a functional feature. During a support, the points in physical contact are in "pull up" at the level of the fingertip, but the whole finger projects a capacity, which puts in "pull down" the points vis-à-vis. Thus, the center of gravity assigned points in "pull up" and the center of gravity assigned points in "pull down" define a vector indicating the direction of support.
    The knowledge of this vector makes it possible to define new information not available on the existing "touchscreens" or to carry out new functions. These include: - Recognition of the right hand or left hand of the user or direction of support; - Rotating a graphic object by rotating the finger using the direction of the vector; - Position and elevation of the finger by exploiting the norm of the vector.
    Among the new functions accessible by the touch screen according to the invention when it is coupled with a graphic screen displaying information, windows or icons of the type of "Windows" software marketed by the company Microsoft, mention may also be made of : - Segregation of sliders and supports
    On a classic touch surface, you can not dissociate a cursor from the state of a validated object. Its flying over the finger causes its activation. In the device according to the invention, the objects are validated if the signal is "pull up". Cursors are only managed in "pull down" mode. They disappear in case of loss of signal. Validation is active only in "pull up" mode, ie when the user physically presses on the screen.
    - Security or "Monitoring"
    In a classic matrix resistive touchscreen, the loss of a line or a column is not detectable, because the state "rest", that is to say out of the presence of the hand of the user, is high impedance. The use of an alternating current makes it possible to benefit from the capacitive coupling at the levels of the nodes. The idle state is thus represented by an intermediate level due to the resistive bridge. A cutoff is easily detectable by loss of the idle signal.
    - Recognition of the use of gloves
    The value of "pull down" preceding a support makes it possible to know the capacity of the operator which is different according to whether the hand is bare or that it carries a glove, which makes it possible to adjust the thresholds and to adapt the ergonomics of functions. For example, one can intensify the haptic effect if the user wears gloves. This application is particularly interesting for aeronautical applications.
    - Creation of virtual keyboards or touchpad
    A virtual keyboard can be created on the graphic screen. Only the "pull up" function is used in this zone (resistive mode with pressing pressure). You can also create a touchpad zone. In this case, the management is only done in "pull down" with touch-sensitive movement (capacitive mode with touch) - Creation of shadow effects
    Insofar as the projected capacitive effect is exploitable, the shadow of the finger or fingers can be superimposed on the symbology on the graphic screen according to the areas in "pull down". The shadow effect can have the following function. As part of the writing on the screen, the operator is asked to put his palm on the screen, which may cause the inadvertent validation of the areas considered, or the need to hide the palm during writing. When writing, the activation is then "pull-up" without peripheral effect at the contact (rigid tip of the stylus, without peripheral capacitive effect), while the palm has a pull effect -down on a large area. This complex signature comprising point-to-point pull-up and surface-pull-down information can be used to deactivate the supports in the area of the palm, and to recognize whether the operator is left-handed and right-handed.
    - Redundancy and availability of functions
    In the case where one of the devices is disturbed (mechanical or atmospheric disturbances for resistive effects, electromagnetic disturbances or use of thick gloves for capacitive effects), the operating principles being different between the resistive and capacitive effects, the system can operate according to only one of the two modes and possibly in a degraded mode.
    - Three-dimensional management of the touch screen
    Insofar as it is possible to identify several superimposed support planes, and that, on the resistive plane, the measurement of the effort is possible, an axis perpendicular to the plane of the touch screen is exploitable and allows to manage or to simulate, for example, the controlled depression of a control member.
