Abstract

A method for locating a conductive object at a touch-sensing surface may include detecting a first resolved location for the conductive object at the touch-sensing surface based on a first scan of the touch-sensing surface, predicting a location for the conductive object, and determining a second resolved location for the conductive object by performing a second scan of a subset of sensor elements of the touch-sensing surface, wherein the subset of sensor elements is selected based on the predicted location of the conductive object.
