Abstract:
1. A method for restructuring distorted capacitive touch data comprising performing the following actions by at least one computer: receiving an array of touch amplitude data associated with an electrode line of a capacitive touch sensor in response to a touch on a touch sensitive display, the touch amplitude data comprising capacitance measurements associated with coordinates along the electrode line; calculating a gradient array that is representative of the gradient of the touch amplitude data; identifying a first gradient maximum and a second gradient maximum in the gradient array; determining whether the gradient array between the first gradient maximum and the second gradient maximum represents a distorted touch; and upon determining the gradient array between the first gradient maximum and the second gradient maximum represents a distorted touch, calculating a corrected array of touch amplitude data such that the corrected array of touch amplitude data represents the touch on the touch sensitive display, the calculating the corrected array of touch amplitude data comprising:
