    摘要: A capacitive panel is scanned with an AC signal having pulses at a first frequency to produce a first frame of mutual capacitance data and pulses at a second frequency, different from the first frequency, to produce a second frame of mutual capacitance data. If neither the first nor second frames of mutual capacitance data is perturbed by noise, then data of the first and second frames of mutual capacitance data is averaged. The averaged data is then used in centroid processing.

    摘要: A system and method for multi-touch integrity sensing for a multi-touch capacitive touch screen determines a distinction between wanted touches, such as via a finger or stylus, and unwanted touches such as via foreign matter, errors, and the like. Mutual capacitance and self-capacitance sensing data is collected and processed to identify reference strengths and detection thresholds. If differences between mutual/self-capacitance strength and the corresponding reference strengths exceed the corresponding detection thresholds, then the touch is classified as an unwanted (for example, water) touch.

    摘要: A capacitive touch matrix has first conductive row elements spaced apart from one another, and first row interconnection circuitry electrically connects the first conductive row elements. Second conductive row elements are spaced apart from one another, and second row interconnection circuitry electrically connects the second conductive row elements. First conductive column elements are positioned between two adjacent ones of the first conductive row elements, the first conductive column elements being spaced apart from one another. Second conductive column elements are positioned in a same column as the first conductive column elements and between the two adjacent ones of the first conductive row elements, the second conductive column elements being spaced apart from one another. First column interconnection circuitry electrically connects each first conductive column element, and second column interconnection circuitry electrically connects each conductive column element. The conductive elements and interconnection circuitries are coplanar with one another.
