Patent ID: 8416215

Claim:
A system for detection of single and double stylus and finger taps and gestures, comprising: a resistive touch screen, comprising: a dual layer of conducting film; an isolation layer between the two conducting films; and two electrodes on each film sheet sides; an analog touch controller capable of: applying voltage gap between two electrodes attached to one film and measuring the sensed voltage on both of the electrodes on the other sheet; and applying voltage gap between two electrodes when one is attached to one film and the other to the second, and measuring the sensed voltage on the other two electrodes; and a touch analysis controller operating as standalone device or embedded in a system controller, wherein said touch analysis controller collects at least six different measurements from said analog touch controller and uses them to determine if the touch screen is touched on a single or multiple points, and to estimate the location of a single or double touch points.
