Abstract
A method for determining the position of touches on a touch sensor is described including receiving values from a touch sensor, converting the values to binary data, identifying one or more contiguous touched regions, extracting parameters from each touched region that related to the shape and location of each region, and determining the validity of each region. The method also includes obtaining data from the contiguous touched regions at a later time and linking the data of the two times for the touched regions to create a series of temporal parameters. The data for the temporal parameters is filtered to remove noise, and the position of the touches is determined from the temporal parameters.
