Abstract

See full text

A method of detecting touch events on a touch panel includes identifying sets of coordinate locations based on at least one signal from at least one sensor. The at least one signal is responsive to at least one touch event, and the coordinate locations represent matches with respect to template fingerprints. Consecutive ones of the sets of coordinate locations are compared based on a first distance threshold to form streams of spatially continuous coordinate locations that satisfy the first distance threshold. A touch event is identified corresponding to one of the streams of spatially continuous coordinate locations, the stream having a minimum number of spatially continuous coordinate locations.
