Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for detecting an input at a touch sensor comprising:
during a first scan cycle:
reading a first sense signal from a first sense electrode at a touch sensor, the first sense signal characterized by a first alternating component and a first direct component;
in response to a first magnitude of the first direct component of the first sense signal falling below a threshold magnitude, detecting a first input on the touch sensor based on the first alternating component of the first sense signal; and

during a second scan cycle:
reading a second sense signal from the first sense electrode, the second sense signal characterized by a second alternating component and a second direct component;
in response to a second magnitude of the second direct component of the second sense signal exceeding the threshold magnitude, detecting a second input on the touch sensor based on the second direct component of the second sense signal.
