Noise reduction method and system for touch detection device

A noise reduction system for a touch detection device, touch detection nodes of the touch detection device being divided into one or more groups, the noise reduction system comprising:

• a sampling unit configured to perform a synchronous sampling on the touch detection nodes belonging to the same group and store the sampling data;
• a differential value calculating unit configured to compare each sampling data against a corresponding reference data to calculate a differential data to replace a corresponding original sampling data;
• a noise calculating unit configured to calculate statistics of the replacing detection data obtained by the differential value calculating unit to screen out, according to a predetermined screening condition, valid data to calculate a DC offset component indicative of a noise ingredient;
• and
• a noise filtering unit configured to obtain noise-filtered detection data by subtracting the DC offset component obtained by the noise calculating unit from each detection data calculated by the differential value calculating unit;
• wherein the noise calculating unit comprises:
• a threshold and distribution scale setting module configured to set a threshold value for determining the validity of a data and distribution scales for statistics of detection data distribution;
• a detection data statistics module configured to calculate the distribution statistics of a group of replacing detection data obtained by the differential value calculating unit;
• a first judging module configured to judge whether the amplitude of an average of detection data in a most concentrated data distribution scale is greater than the threshold value;
• a second judging module configured to further judge whether the amplitude of an average of detection data in a second most concentrated data distribution scale is less than the amplitude of the average of the detection data in the most concentrated scale if the result of the judgment made by the first judging module is yes;
• and
• a DC offset component determining module configured to consider the average of the detection data in the second most concentrated scale as the DC offset component if the result of the judgment made by the second judging module is yes, or consider the average of the detection data in the most concentrated scale as the DC offset component if the result of the judgment made by the first judging module or by the second judging module is no.
