20130176270 | OBJECT CLASSIFICATION FOR TOUCH PANELS - Control circuitry for a touch panel includes a touch panel interface, a memory including object classification logic, and a controller in communication with the memory and the touch panel interface. The controller is operable, when the object classification logic is executed, to perform selected processing of the touch panel heat map, including: classifying a touch as a hover touch, finger touch, or stylus touch; rejecting palm or other large object touches; rejecting knuckle touches; rejecting grip touches; and other processing. | 07-11-2013 |
20130176275 | HIGH-ACCURACY TOUCH POSITIONING FOR TOUCH PANELS - Control circuitry for a touch panel includes a touch panel interface, a memory comprising touch positioning logic, and a controller in communication with the memory and the touch panel interface. The controller is operable, when the touch positioning logic is executed, to perform selected processing of the touch panel, including scanning a touch panel and determining a touch panel blob resulting from a touch, obtaining blob characteristics of the touch panel blob, and determining a position of the blob relative to the touch panel based on the blob characteristics. The blob characteristics can be adjusted to more accurately position the blob in circumstances where the blob is located near the edge of the touch panel, is in close proximity to another blob, or when the touch panel has variation in the received signal noise. | 07-11-2013 |
