Abstract:
1. A method for identifying a single tap during an object contacting a touch device comprising following steps: (a) detecting when said touch device is touched by a first hit-movement conducted by said object; (b) measuring time starting when the touch device is touched by the first hit-movement; (c) detecting when said first hit-movement leaves said touch device, and comparing an amount of time starting from when the touch device is touched by the first hit-movement and ending when the first hit-movement leaves said touch device with a first reference time interval, the first reference time interval being a predetermined time duration measured starting when the touch device is touched by the first hit-movement; (d) generating an operation signal corresponding to the touch and the leave of the first hit-movement upon completion of the first reference time interval when the first hit-movement leaves said touch device before completion of the first reference time interval; (e) detecting if a second hit-movement is conducted by said object to touch said touch device within a second reference time interval, and maintaining said operation signal during the second reference time interval, the second reference time interval being a predetermined time duration measured starting upon completion of the first reference time interval; (f) terminating said operation signal at an end of said second reference time interval when no second hit-movement is conducted by said object for touching said touch device within the second reference time interval.
