Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided are systems and methods for providing enhanced touch sensing. One system providing enhanced touch sensing includes a multi-mode touch screen and a processor configured to apply at least one test signal to a sense element of the multi-mode touch screen, detect at least one return signal from the sense element, and then determine a relative position of an object corresponding to the at least one return signal, the multi-mode touch screen being capable of sensing the first object using first and second detection modes. One multi-mode touch screen comprises a multi-mode multi-touch touch screen. One processor is configured to apply an adaptive test signal to a sense element of a touch screen.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electronic system providing enhanced touch sensing, the electronic system comprising: a multi-mode touch screen including first and second resistive layers separated by an insulator; and a processor configured to: apply at least one test signal to a sense element of the multi-mode touch screen; detect at least one return signal from the sense element based on interaction of between the first and second resistive layers; and determine a relative pos…
