Abstract:
1. A method for object positioning for an X-Y projected capacitive touch panel including a first trace and a second trace with a first intersection, the method comprising the steps of: (a) in a first state, supplying two excitation signals with a same phase respectively to the first and second traces simultaneously and then sensing the first trace to obtain a first measured capacitance; (b) setting a base value according to the first measured capacitance; (c) in a second state, supplying two excitation signals with a same phase respectively to the first and second traces simultaneously and then sensing the first trace to obtain a second measured capacitance; and (d) comparing the base value with the second measured capacitance respectively, to identify a touch; wherein the X-Y projected capacitive touch panel is not touched in the first state and is touched in the second state; wherein the X-Y projected capacitive touch panel further includes a third trace and a second intersection between the first and third traces, wherein the third trace is parallel with the second trace; the step (c) further comprising: supplying two excitation signals with a same phase respectively to the first trace and third trace simultaneously and then sensing the first trace to obtain a third measured capacitance; and wherein step (d) comprises: comparing the base value with the second and third measured capacitances respectively, to identify the touch; concluding that the first intersection is touched if the second measured capacitance is greater than the base value; concluding that the second intersection is touched if the third measured capacitance is greater than the base value; and concluding that the first and second intersections are touched if both the second and third measured capacitances are greater than the base value.
