Abstract:
A touch panel system is described that is configured to reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI). In an implementation, the touch panel system includes a touch panel assembly that includes a plurality of drive electrodes arranged one next to another and a plurality of sensor electrodes arranged one next to another across the drive electrodes to form a plurality of pixels having a mutual capacitance. The touch panel system also includes a transmitter configured to drive the drive electrodes with drive signals derived at least partially from excitation values. The transmitter is configured to apply a window function to the drive signals. The system also includes a receiver configured to sense signals furnished from the sensor electrodes and to determine the mutual capacitance of the pixels.
Abstract:
A touch panel controller may include a communications module configured to receive pixel values, where each pixel value represents a capacitance associated with a pixel formed at a drive electrode and a sensor electrode of a touch panel. The touch panel controller may also include a processing module configured to discard pixel values below a noise threshold, discard pixel values for non-zero pixels that are not adjacent to non-zero pixels, reject detected input for pixel values associated with a palm input, compute an initial centroid associated with the pixel values, reject detected input for pixel values associated with a hover input, and provide detected input that is not associated with palm input or hover input.
