Patent ID: 7532205

Claim:
A touch-sensor for providing a gesture signal, the touch-sensor having a sensing region with an inner region and an outer region, the touch-sensor comprising: a substrate; a plurality of sensor electrodes disposed on the substrate, the plurality of sensor electrodes configured to sense an object proximate in the sensing region, a processor coupled to the plurality of sensor electrodes, the processor configured to: detect object motion of an object in the sensing region; provide cursor motion signals in accordance with cursor motion values generated responsive to continuation of the object motion in the inner region; and responsive to the object moving from the inner region into the outer region, provide cursor motion signals configured to generate cursor motion that combines incremental cursor motion with additional cursor motion, the incremental cursor motion comprising motion toward an edge of the display correlating to an edge of the sensing region proximate the object, and the additional cursor motion comprising cursor motion indicated by cursor motion values generated responsive to continuation of the object motion in the outer region of the sensing region.
