Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A position detecting method for a touchscreen panel includes the steps of (a) determining the presence or absence of contact with the touchscreen panel on a conductive film divided into multiple conductive regions; (b) measuring a time after the detection of the absence of the contact and determining whether the measured time is less than a predetermined time if step (a) determines the absence of the contact; and (c) determining the continuance of the contact if the measured time is less than the predetermined time.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A position detecting method for a touchscreen panel that includes a conductive film divided into a plurality of conductive regions that are electrically insulated from each other, and detects a track of a movement of an object that comes into contact with the touchscreen panel, the position detecting method comprising: determining whether a no-touch state in which the object is out of contact with each of the conductive regions is detected or not, after a fi…
