Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods of distinguishing between a finger and stylus proximate to a touch surface are described. One apparatus includes a first circuit to obtain capacitance measurements of sense elements when a conductive object is proximate to a touch surface. The apparatus also includes a second circuit coupled to the first circuit. The second circuit is operable to detect whether the conductive object activates the first sense element, second sense element, or both, in view of the capacitance measurements. To distinguish between a stylus and a finger as the conductive object, the second circuit determines the conductive object as being the stylus when the second sense element is activated and the first sense element is not activated and determines the conductive object as being the finger when the first sense element and the second sense element are activated.

Claim (Index 39):
The method of  claim 38 , wherein the proximity of one or more of the first electrode and the second electrode is determined based on the first capacitance and the second capacitance, wherein the conductive object is identified as the stylus when the second capacitance is greater than a second threshold and the first capacitance is less than a first threshold, and wherein the conductive object is identified as the finger when the first and second capacitance are greater than the first and second thresholds, respectively.
