Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for determining a displacement of a touch point is applied to a touch panel to reduce noise interfering with determination of the displacement. The method includes obtaining a displacement according to a movement of a touch point on the touch panel; checking whether the displacement is within a predetermined range; and determining that the movement is valid when the displacement is within the predetermined range.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1.
