Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A capacitance detecting method disclosed herein, which achieves a good detection accuracy, a good resolution, and a high-speed operation, (A)(a) drives, on the basis of code sequences (di (=di 1 , . . . , diN, where i=1, . . . , M)) which are orthogonal to one another, drive lines (DL 1 , . . . , DLM) in parallel for each of (I) a first capacitance column (Ci 1 ) between the drive lines and a first sense line (SL 1 ) and (II) a second capacitance column (Ci 2 ) between the drive lines and a second sense line (SL 2 ) and (b) outputs (sFirst=(s 11 , . . . , s 1 N)) from the column (Ci 1 ) and outputs (sSecond=(s 21 , . . . , s 2 N)) from the column (Ci 2 ), and (B) estimates (a) on the basis of inner product operation of the outputs (sFirst) and the code sequences (di), a first capacitance value in the column (Ci 1 ) and (b) on the basis of inner product operation of the outputs (sSecond) and the code sequences (di), a second capacitance value in the column (Ci 2 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A linear system coefficient estimating method, comprising the steps of: (A) (a) inputting, on a basis of M code sequences di (=di 1 , di 2 , . . . , diN, where i=1, . . . , M), and M<N) each of which has a length N, M inputs Xk (k=1, . . . , M) to a system which has a linear input and output and to which the M inputs Xk (k=1, . . . , M) are to be inputted, the system being represented by…
