Abstract

A detection method for an irregular conductive matter in a touch event includes scanning a plurality of detection points to obtain a plurality of sensing signals of the detection points; computing a first signal summation of all positive signals among the sensing signals; obtaining a first change between the first signal summation and a previous first signal summation; computing a second signal summation of all negative signals among the sensing signals; obtaining a second change between the second signal summation and a previous second signal summation; setting a flag according to the first change and the second change when the first change and the second change are positive; clearing the flag according to the first change and the second change when the first change and the second change are negative; and disabling a reporting of at least one touch point when the flag exists.
