Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A controlling device applied to a touch panel. The controlling device includes a sampling module, a determining module and a reporting module. The sampling module samples electrical signals of the touch panel, and generates at least one trigger signal corresponding to the at least one touch event when at least one touch event occurs on the touch panel. The determining module determines whether the at least one touch event is a single-point-multi-finger gesture according to a position of the at least one trigger signal and sampled physical quantity. The reporting module reports the at least one touch event when the determining module determines that the at least one touch event corresponding to the at least one trigger signal is the single-point-multi-finger gesture.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A controlling device applied to a touch panel, comprising: a sampling module implemented by hardware, sampling electrical signals of the touch panel, and when at least one touch event occurs on the touch panel, generating a trigger signal corresponding to the at least one touch event; a determining module, determining whether the at least one touch event is a single-point-multi-finger gesture according to a position of the trigger signal and a number of ri…
