Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the location of a designated point on an electrically sensitive touch-screen surface while minimizing aberrations introduced by non-uniformity in the field applied to the surface, by attaching a plurality of field-producing discrete point electrodes to widely spaced points on the surface in a predetermined geometric pattern and by measuring the currents drawn from the point electrodes upon the capacitive touching of a designated location on the surface.
