发明名称 LOW POWER SCAN FOR DEVICE WAKE UP AND UNLOCK
摘要 A low power can for device wake up and unlock is disclosed. The low power scan can include one or more algorithms used to detect a sequence and/or one or more gestures to wake up a processor and unlock the device. A sequence and/or one or more gestures can be determined by a microcontroller and/or by a separate hardware component. The microcontroller can send a notification to the processor and/or switch the device from an idle to an active state. By detecting the sequence and gestures in the microcontroller before waking up the processor, the battery life can be extended. In some examples, the microcontroller can determine if the sequence and gestures are due to water splashes, water film, and/or noise. In such examples, the microcontroller can reject the touch without waking up the processor, and further extending the battery life of the device.

主权项 1. A touch sensor panel comprising: a touch controller configured to: capture a touch image when the touch sensor panel is in an idle state; anddetermine if the touch image exhibits one or more characteristics of a false touch; and a processor configured to: remain in the idle state while the touch controller is capturing a touch image;remain in the idle state while the touch controller is determining if the touch image exhibits the one or more characteristics of the false touch, wherein the processor consumes a greater amount of power in an active state than the touch controller.
