Patent ID: 8553009

Claim:
A method of sorting motion reports in a processor of a mutual capacitance sensing device, comprising: (a) tracking individual touch points of a user on a touch panel or touchpad of the sensing device; (b) reporting a plurality of individual touch points to registers of the sensing device; (c) sorting, in the processor, the plurality of individual touch points according to touch identification (“Touch ID”) or to touch force (“Touch Force”); (d) if Touch ID is employed to sort touch points, mapping a first touch point having a smallest Touch ID associated therewith to a first register location and mapping a second touch point having a largest Touch ID associated therewith to a last register location, and (e) if Touch Force is employed to sort touch points, mapping the first touch point having a highest force associated therewith to the first register location, and mapping the second touch point having a lowest force associated therewith to the last register location.
