A logical test is applied to each node that is a neighbor to the assigned node to determine if that node should also be assigned to the touch and the logical test is repeatedly applied to the unassigned neighbors of each newly assigned node until there are no more newly assigned nodes, or no more unassigned nodes, thereby assigning a group of nodes to the touch defining its area. This process can be repeated until all of the nodes of a touch panel are assigned to a touch. The method is ideally suited to implementation on a microcontroller.

Signal values 2, 6, 11, 5 and 2 have been obtained for the distribution of signal across the touch sensor. These signals are notionally split in equal spacings in the range covered by each node, each notional signal being shown with vertical tally sticks. The touch coordinate is then determined by finding the position of the median tally stick. Since there are 26 notional signals, each with a signal value of 1, the position of the median signal is between the 13th and 14th notional signals, as indicated by the thick arrow. This is a numerically simple method for obtaining touch coordinates at higher resolution than the resolution of the nodes ideally suited for implementation on a microcontroller. | 2010-04-22 |

First, the touch data sets are analyzed to determine the closest touch in the second time frame to each of the touches in the first time frame, and calculating the separation between each such pair of touches. Then, starting with the pair of touches having the smallest separation, each pair is validated until a pairing is attempted between touches for which the touch in the second time frame has already been paired. At this point, the as-yet unpaired touches from the first and second touch data sets are re-processed by re-applying the computations but only including the as-yet unpaired touches. This re-processing is iterated until no further pairings need to be made. The method avoids complex algebra and floating point operations, and has little memory requirement. As such it is ideally suited to implementation on a microcontroller. | 2010-04-22 |
