Abstract: For sensing a control point on a capacitive-type panel, first and second voltage signals are respectively received through two sets of receiving lines selected from N receiving lines in response to first and second charge/discharge signals transmitted through two sets of transmitting lines selected from M transmitting lines, respectively, during a specified time period. A characteristic value is generated by operating the first and second voltage signals. Repeat the steps to generate characteristic values for neighboring regions defined by different combinations of transmitting lines and receiving lines. Position information of control point(s) on the capacitive-type panel is estimated accordingly.
