How to ensure you are developing a world-class capacitive touch product Embedded.com
( Editor's note : there is a linked list of related articles at the end of this article, immediately above the "About the Authors" section.)
Anyone can bake a cake, but while some chefs bake dry, uninspired bricks of dough, there are other chefs who make cakes we would die for. The ingredients may be the same, but the outcomes are so very different.
This is also the case between average electronic products and world-class, market-changing products. One of the most recent technical sensations is the capacitive touch screen. But what makes some touch screen-based products amazing, while others get such poor reviews?
This article explores key touchscreen performance parameters, critical touchscreen design features, significant design tradeoffs, and key issues product designers must consider when choosing their touchscreen supply chain. Don't get caught making an uninspired product; instead, create something people would "die for" to have!
Perhaps the single most significant technology change to affect the performance of today's touch screens has been the shift from resistive to capacitive touch screens. Industry analyst iSupply forecasts that nearly 25% of the mobile handsets with touch screens will have shifted from resistive to capacitive screens by 2011, while Jeffries and Co. has increased their projections for capacitive touch screens in 2010 from 100 million units (Mu) to 188 Mu. The market is exploding, in large part because of the benefits which capacitive-touch screen technology brings.
While traditional resistive touch panels detect a finger or stylus touch when a flexible top layer of clear material is pressed down to contact a lower conductive layer of material, projected capacitance screens have no moving parts. The projected capacitance sensing hardware consists of a glass top layer, followed by an array of X, Y, and insulating layers of indium tin oxide (ITO) on a glass substrate. (Some sensor suppliers create a single-layer sensor that includes both X and Y sensors in a single layer of ITO with small bridges where they cross.)
As a finger or other conductive object approaches the screen, it creates a capacitor between the sensors and the finger. This capacitor is small relative to the others in the system (about 0.5 pF out of 20 pF), but it is measurable using several techniques. For example, one technique used with Cypress Semiconductor's TrueTouch parts involves rapidly charging the capacitor and measuring the discharge time through a bleed resistor.
This all-glass touch surface gives the user a solid, smooth feel across the entire screen. Glass screens are preferred by customers because glass gives the end product a smooth industrial design and provides a good capacitive signal for measuring touch. In the end, however, it is not only how the touch panel looks, but also how it operates. For designers, gaining excellent performance from a touch screen entails first knowing several key parameters:
Accuracy : Defined as "the maximum position error across a pre-defined area of the touch screen, as measured in units of distance along a straight line between the actual finger position and the reported finger position." Accuracy is measured with a simulated or mechanical finger. The finger is placed at precise locations on the panel and actual finger position is compared with reported finger position.
The importance of accuracy cannot be overstated. Users want the system to properly locate their finger. One of the biggest frustrations with resistive touch screens is their low accuracy and accuracy loss over time. Capacitive touch screens' accuracy enables new applications like virtual keyboards and handwriting without a stylus.
As an example, Figure 1 shows a poorly constructed touch panel's data, which displays finger drift above the true straight line traveled by the simulated finger.
Figure 1: Example showing inaccuracy or error in touch panel tracking.

Finger Separation : Defined as "the minimum center-to-center distance between two fingers placed on the touchscreen while two separate fingers are still reported by the touch screen controller." Finger separation is measured by placing two simulated or mechanical fingers on the panel and moving them towards each other until they are reported as a single finger, Figure 2 .
Some touch screen suppliers report finger separation as edge-to-edge, while others report it center to center. A 10 mm finger separation specification for 10 mm mechanical fingers could mean that the fingers are touching or that they are 10 mm apart, depending on your touch controller's method of specification.
Without good finger separation, you cannot implement reliable multi-touch functionality. Finger separation is especially important for virtual keyboards, where two fingers are commonly on the screen in close proximity.

Response Time : Defined as "the time between a finger touchdown event on the touch screen and the touch screen controller generating an interrupt signal." This can be measured by electrically stimulating the touch screen to simulate a finger or by physically moving a simulated finger to the panel.
Response time is particularly important because it directly translates to how fast users can move their fingers on screen for a "swipe" or "flick" or to write with a finger or pen. A touch panel with a slow response time may look choppy or may miss a movement altogether. Touch screen response time is one component of system response time that includes: X/Y scanning : Time for the touch controller to scan and measure the change in capacitance on the sensor. Finger detection : Comparing the capacitance change on the panel to a predetermined "finger threshold". If the change is over the finger threshold, a finger has been detected. Finger location : Interpolating between the results from several sensors to determine the exact position of the finger. Finger tracking : When more than one finger is on the sensor, each finger must be identified and assigned a unique identifier. Interrupt latency : This is the delay between the interrupt indication and interrupt servicing on the host. In most systems, this delay is less than 100 μsec. Communication : Typical systems use I C at 400 kHz, or SPI at 1 MHz, to communicate to the host. There are several tools that can be used to reduce response time. The key is primarily in the intelligence of the touch-controller IC. For example, creative techniques can be employed for only scanning portions of a screen to "detect" a finger and, once a finger is detected, to then rapidly scan to calculate exact "location" of that finger, thus saving both power and time.
Parallelism is another key tool. Scanning, finger processing, and communication all use separate hardware and can all run in parallel. Highly optimized algorithms for finger detection, finger location and finger ID all reduce processing time and reduce response time.
Refresh Rate : "The time between two consecutive frames of touchscreen data available in a data buffer while a finger is present on the touch screen". A low refresh rate will result in jerky movement and curves that appear to be made up of line segments rather than smooth curves.
Instead, if a touchpanel has a high refresh rate, it provides many more datapoints for interpretation of a smooth or complete shape or motion. A high refresh rate improves gesture interpretation as well. Smart touch screen controllers like Cypress Semiconductor's TrueTouch products can adjust their refresh rate to match the system's requirements. A drawing or handwriting application needs a fast refresh rate, but a mobile phone dialing keypad only needs to interrupt the host when buttons are pressed or released.
Average Power Consumption : "The average power in a touch system is comprised of time scanning, time processing, time communicating, and time sleeping for the controller IC and host processor receiving and interpreting touch data." Power consumption seems like an obvious performance parameter to capture: Measure the current used by the device, multiply by voltage and you know the power consumption.
In the world of touch panel power consumption, however, a more sophisticated model is needed because power consumption depends on usage. Phone "standby time" will depend on touchscreen "standby" or "deep sleep" current use. Even when the touch screen is active, it can be in several modes such as "wake on touch" (WOT), "touch", and "cheek detect". In a typical 5-minute call, your phone may be in touch mode for 10 seconds as you lookup or type in the phone number, then in WOT or cheek detect for the remainder of the call. Even sending a text (SMS) message is a mixture of WOT mode and actual finger contact, as the controller IC dips in and out of sleep modes while you are typing and thinking.
It's easy to be misled by system power promises if you don't take these power modes into account. In almost every case, the touch screen spends 90 to 99% of the time in "cheek detect" mode and "wake on touch" mode. Some systems allow customization of the ratio of processing time to sleep time even while a finger is on the panel. There is little need for a 200 Hz refresh rate if the system is only reporting "there is still a finger at the same location". To develop a high performing touchscreen, it is important to take advantage of systems with low sleep specifications along with creative sleep and wake modes.

Can I use an olympus stylus 400 digital camera as a webcam?
My hot girlfriend in england wants to see me online and i dont really want to buy a webcam
no, no digital camera can do webcam. Webcam is pretty cheap this day, get one. Plus why on earth you want use digital camera as webcam is too big for it.
my olympus stylus 400 digital camera lens is jammed and it is sucking the battery out, how can i fix this?
I have this camera for bout a few good years and it isnt a bad camera but just the other day i found out my camera was jammed..i thought i just had no battery so i recharged the battery and put it back in but when i tried to slide the cover over the lens it wouldnt fully close...so i think my lens is jammed..it sucks because it is sucking all my battery out! the camera still works but it is just that problem..i kinda figuered that i need to unscrew the camera and try to fix what is wrong inside but i have no idea on how to fix cameras..i dont want to break it any more than what is already broken...but to just say the cover wont fully close so my lens thing is open...does anyone know how i can fix this without going to a mechanic or something???
You cannot fix it. Frequently on these pages I see people saying the lens mechanism is stuck and the answers from the experts are always to take it in for service. This seems to happen a lot. The question you need to ask yourself is if you want to upgrade or not. Your camera is only a 4mP sensor with only 3x zoom. This is okay but new cameras are offering a lot more.
Go to the Olympus website and send a message to their customer service. Maybe they can give you some idea of the cost to fix it.
Good luck.
My Olympus Stylus 300/400 digital camera was stolen. How can I find one just like it that is under $150?
It had video recording on it as well... Thanks!

Can anyone help me fix my Olympus Stylus 400 digital camera?
It first started when the lens would not extend. I was only able to view my pictures that were already taken. Then I was told that I should remove the slide cover to make sure that everything was ok with the switch underneath. Now I removed the cover, but i'm having trouble getting the screws back in. The only thing that happens is that both of the view lights blick simultaneously and then stops. I'm guessing that once I get the cover back on it should be fine. But I would like to know why the camera will not come on. Can anyone tell me what it is I need to do? Just take it to a camera shop.
A sledgehammer is usually very helpful at this point. It doesn't affect the warranty any more than you already have.
Enjoy shopping for your new camera and next time don't try to "fix" it yourself.
My camera will not work properly. Is it broken?
I have an Olympus Stylus 400 digital camera. I charged it overnight and removed the USB cord from my computer. When I turn it on, the orange and green lights flash, but the camera will not turn on. I removed the memory card, put it back in, and did the same thing with the battery. I even tried to charge it to see if it would show up on the computer, but it won't. Is there any way I can fix this without having to get a new one, or pay to get it fixed?
Thanks!
What is the best digital camera in the $300 to $400 range that is compact but powerful?
I have been looking at the Olyumpus Stylus 1000 (10 megapixels), but I heard Canon has better cameras. I would like something with great picture quality, a short time lapse between photos, and have many different features like image stablization, face detection, etc.
I just bought aFuji 6500fh a bridge camera.
It's a cross between a SLR and a compact Camera.
I just love it, check it out.
Cost around $350-$400
What digital cam under $400 will allow me to take macro shots as well as general professional looking photos?
I want the camera to be small and sleek so that it could fit into my pocket. Currently I have Olympus Stylus Verve with 4.0 megapixels and although it takes decent shots overall, it has many drawbacks. First, it doesn't take macro shots and when I try they become blurry. It doesn't zoom in very far and I would like it to zoom in at least 20 feet or so and capture the object in good focus. Whenever there's not enough light, meaning anything other than bright sun, it turns on the flash automatically and takes super bright washed out pics. When I set it on the non-flash feature, the picture comes out blurry. Also, any slight hand movement will cause the picture to come out blurry as well. Right now it has 4 megapixels and I would like a cam with more megapixels - enough to capture objects crisply from dozens of feet away. This camera is pretty basic so I'm not familiar with the more complicated ones and don't know the terminology (f-stop, etc) so I'd like a cam that isn't too complicated
I don't want to have to fiddle with a bunch of buttons to take a shot - I want to be able to point, zoom, and shoot. Unless some minor fiddling will drastically improve the look of the shot... Also I'd like the battery life of the cam to be decent - last time I took my cam on vacation, the battery died in 2 days after being fully charged and I couldn't charge it since the outlets were different. So I want this cam to have a long battery life. I'd really appreciate some advice as to which cam would work well for me given my preferences. Please include links with pictures of it if you can. Thank you.
Unfortunately, there is no one camera that can match all your needs. I have several cameras in mind that can match some of your needs.
Nikon's Coolpix S10 is pocketable, had 10X zoom, and optical image stabilization. Even though it has optical image stabilization, it doesn't mean it works perfectly in low-light situations, but it helps a fair bit . Optical image stabilization helps you take less blurry photos with long shutter speeds in low light. It's good to keep in mind that this camera has to be kept at low ISO settings so that your photos will not turn out blurry. It's worth noting that this camera has ergonomic issues, and is not comfortable to hold in your hand. This camera has a very good macro mode: it can focus up to 4 cm in macro mode. The Nikon Coolpix has 6 megapixels. I should mention that this camera doesn't have any manual or semi-manual controls. However, if you're finding that the camera's metering isn't reliable (for example, over exposure, or underexposure), you can likely use exposure compensation to deliberately alter the camera's exposure, but the S10's metering is generally reliable. I forgot, the S10's focus is slow, and it shouldn't be used to capture something moving at the telephoto end (zoomed in). This camera has face detection, to make sure all the faces in the photo are focused on, and well exposed.
Another good camera may fit your bill: Fujiflim's Finepix F31 fd. This camera's specialty is that it can take pictures at up to ISO 800, and still keep noise down to a reasonable level. This is the only compact camera that can even mimic what ISO 800 looks like on a DSLR. ISO 800 is very useful, but it doesn't work miracles. This camera doesn't have optical image stabilization, so unfortunately, ISO 800 and optical image stabilization cancel each other out, to some extent. I will include an explanation of the difference between the two at the end of my answer. However, this camera doesn't have a long zoom (only 3X) and it doesn't have and manual or semi-manual controls. The good thing about this camera is that it has face detection, which makes sure that faces in the photo are focused on, and in good exposure.
To address your indoor-shooting situation issues, you'll need a camera that is more capable in low-light, or a camera that has better flash exposure. Nikon cameras generally have good flash exposure with their i-TTL system, but I should mention that it doesn't work miracles, and can be tricked. If you should encounter that, use face detection to make sure the faces are exposed well. If you choose not to use flash, you can use either a high ISO, or optical image stabilization. I will explain the difference next.
High ISO's are the fear of compact cameras, when you amplify the sensitivity of a camera's sensor, you also amplify the noise. However, on the F31 fd, the noise is kept surprisingly low for a compact camera, in comparison, ISO 400 on the S10 is near unacceptable. A high ISO makes it as if the camera is more sensitive to light (it isn't, it just amplifies the signal) and so that less light is needed, and therefore, a faster shutter speed is required. And that's how high ISO's can help you take better low-light photos.
Optical image stabilization is a very different story. Optical image stabilization allows you to keep that slow shutter speed. When using a slow shutter speed, often, our slight vibrations can blur a photo. Optical image stabilization systems detects movement, and counters it. In the case of the Nikon, it shifts a lens element in order to counter the movement. That's how it works. However, it doesn't solve the problem if someone moves when you take the picture. If you're taking a long exposure, if someone moves in the shot, they become blurred, even if everything else is sharp. A high ISO can fix that by allowing a fast shutter speed. Neither can entirely replace each other.
Hope this helps your buying decision. Hit the links below to read more about the S10, F31 fd, and high ISO's.
my camera won't work?
i have an Olympus Digital Camera Stylus 300/400 Digital
its one were you slide a cover away from the lenses and it turns on, problem is it wont turn on and everytime i do a yellow and green light flash next to the eye sight thing and a beeping noise goes on and on. can anyone with this camera or knowledge in this area know whats wrong with it? i already changed the battery fully and took it out, and tied it again same with memory card. what should i do whats wrong with it?!
If it is turning on sometimes but not all the time, it could be that the switch under the lens cover is loose.
What is the best, moderately priced digital camera?
I have an Olympus Stylus 800. 8 mega pixels. It is not in the lowest price range, but the one above that. Did I get a really good camera type? It cost less than $400. What would you have suggested different to purchase and why?
This camera make video with sound too.
I would say you bought an excellent camera. Rated very high in Nov'06 Consumer Reports 3rd on list. Don't second guess yourself your choice was a real good one for a compact camera.
What is the difference between the "fine" and "normal" settings on my digital camera?
I have an Olympus Stylus 1010 Digital Camera, w/10.1 MP and 7X optical zoom. With the xD memory card it came with, at 10 MP, i can get only 400 pictures with the setting on "fine", or I can get like 800 pictures on "normal". What is the difference here? We are going to Italy so i obviously want my pictures to look as good as possible, but want to know if it is worth buying another memory card so i have enough pictures, or if i can just use the "normal' setting, where the one card will be enough. Any help is most appreciated.
"Fine" and "normal" are JPEG compression level indicators. "Fine" means a lower compression is used whereas "normal" uses higher compression. Obviously, the higher the compression the smaller the file size but the more details are lost in the process as well.
It's better to use the "Fine" option whenever you can to get the best the camera is able to offer. You should try to transfer pictures off of the card whenever you can. 400 pictures is a lot of pictures but if you're running low on space and don't have access to your computer switch over to normal. Create a line: leave the camera on "Fine" until the counter reaches 200. When you reach 200, switch over to "Normal". At this point, you should have enough room for 400 more pictures.
