Patent ID: 8922516

Claim:
A touch panel, comprising: a plurality of detecting areas comprising a first detecting area, a second detecting area, and a third detecting area; wherein the second detecting area is located on a first side of the first detecting area, and the third detecting area is located on a second side, opposite to the first side of the first detecting area; a plurality of sensing units located in the plurality of detecting areas and oriented along a first axial direction; a detecting unit capable of detecting the touch panel along a second axial direction to obtain a detecting curve, wherein a maximum detecting value of the detecting curve is located in the first detecting area, a first average detecting value of the detecting curve of the second detecting area is greater than a second average detecting value of the detecting curve of the third detecting area; an analyzing unit capable of analyzing the first detecting area to obtain a first touch point coordinate, analyzing the second detecting area to obtain a second touch point coordinate, and analyzing a relative distance between the first touch point coordinate and the second touch point coordinate; and a defining unit capable of defining the touch panel as being touched at the first touch point coordinate or a middle point between the first touch point coordinate and the second touch point coordinate, when the relative distance is less than a predetermined distance; and the defining unit capable of defining the touch panel as being touched at the first touch point coordinate and the second touch point coordinate, when the relative distance is greater than or equal to the predetermined distance.
