    摘要: A method of identifying gesture event types on a textile touch pad sensor (10) with the steps of: memorizing raw touch data generated by the conductive grid (17) during a predefined interval of time in which a gesture event is performed on the pad sensor; estimating the type of a gesture event performed on the pad sensor by analyzing the raw touch data generated by the conductive grid; measuring the total time (eventLength) of the gesture event performed on the pad sensor; memorizing the longest time (longestX, longestY) during which a conductive yarn of the conductive grid has been touched during the gesture event; correcting the estimation of the gesture type, if the longest time during which a conductive yarn of the conductive grid has been touched is greater than a quantity that is a function of the total time of the gesture event.
