Claim Text:
1. A method of identifying edge swipe gesture performed by a controller of a touch device, the method comprising steps of: acquiring at least one first sensing signal on an edge area of the touch device under a hover mode; acquiring multiple second sensing signals on an entire area of the touch device under a touch mode; determining if there is a touch object on the non-edge area according to the second sensing signals, and when there is a touch object on the non-edge area, determining if the touch object has previously appeared on the edge area according to the at least one first sensing signal; determining if a displacement of the touch object within a swipe time exceeds a swipe distance when the touch object has previously appeared on the edge area; and generating a signal indicating that a movement of the touch object corresponds to an edge swipe gesture when the displacement of the touch object within the swipe time exceeds the swipe distance.
