Abstract: A force sensing method, applied to a force sensing system comprising a plurality of force sensors and a touch sensing surface, comprising: (a) determining a first location of a first object on the touch sensing surface; (b) defining a first force sensing region according to the first location; and (c) computing a first system sensing force which the first object causes to the touch sensing surface according to the first location, and according to at least one sensor sensing force of a first part of the force sensors corresponding to the first force sensing region. The present invention also discloses a force sensing system which uses the above-mentioned force sensing method, and an efficient force sensor calibration method. Noises can be reduced and power consumption can be decreased, since only sensor sensing forces of force sensors near the object are used for computing the system sensing force.

Abstract: A compensation method for an induced amount in a touch sensor and a touch panel thereof are provided. The compensation method uses a fake finger circuit to simulate the situations when a user touches the sensing nodes of the touch sensor with a finger, and obtains the gain coefficient of each of the sensing nodes, which are used to compensate for the induced capacitance generated by the sensing nodes as a result of being touched by an external object. In this way, the extra effects caused by the difference in basic capacitance can be eliminated by the gain coefficient.
