Touch Latency >0.1s = User Loss? SYSTEM's Ultra-Low Latency Solution: The Underlying Logic

2025.07.04

1. Industry Pain Points: Touch Latency and Misoperation Issues Are Draining User Retention

1.1 Touch Latency Disasters in Course Practice Scenarios

In the education technology sector, touch latency has become a critical bottleneck affecting user retention. Industry research indicates that the average touch latency of ordinary educational tablets exceeds 80ms (industry mean: 83.2ms±5ms), causing frequent "eye-hand desynchronization" during course practice. For example, in painting tutorials, students experience significant misalignment between pen strokes and screen feedback, leading to operational frustration and reduced course completion rates .

1.2 Misoperation Challenges in Extreme Environments

Traditional capacitive touchscreens achieve less than 60% recognition accuracy in wet or gloved scenarios, which are common in educational/industrial settings. For instance, laboratory courses require protective gloves, while outdoor teaching may encounter rain/fog. Low signal-to-noise ratio sensors result in a 23% misoperation rate , severely impacting efficiency .

2. SYSTEM Solution: End-to-End Innovation from Hardware Reconstruction to Algorithm Optimization

2.1 Custom Touch IC + Self-Developed Filtering Algorithm: Compressing Latency to <35ms

SYSTEM Technology reengineers the signal processing workflow through customized touch chips (HZST-TC9801), adopting a parallel data processing architecture (referencing patent US2024173456A1), increasing touch signal sampling frequency to 240Hz . Combined with dynamic adaptive filtering algorithms (DSF-V2), stable responses are maintained even in complex electromagnetic interference environments

 

Key Breakthroughs:

  • Sampling Rate Upgrade : From 120Hz to 240Hz, reducing single-sample interval to 4.17ms;
  • Algorithmic Noise Reduction : Separates noise from valid signals via Fourier transform, reducing misoperation by 92%;
  • Hardware Direct Channel : Bypasses Android's default scheduling mechanism, prioritizing touch events

2.2 High Signal-to-Noise Ratio Sensor: ±0.5mm Precision for Full-Scenario Compatibility

Through a dual-layer mutual capacitance matrix sensor , SYSTEM's touch modules elevate the signal-to-noise ratio to 82dB (traditional solutions: 65dB). Paired with differential signal enhancement technology , sub-0.1mm micro-pressure changes are precisely detected. In glove mode, multi-band impedance detection compensates for signal attenuation, achieving ±0.5mm absolute positioning accuracy .
