Patent number: 10691269Abstract: A location of contact with a touch sensitive device is determined. Output signals associated with a plurality of electrodes such as formed on a single layer of the touch sensitive device are measured to identify a first electrode positioned at an approximate location of contact with the touch sensor.

An undesired single amount associated with the first electrode may be estimated based on the undesired signal amount measured at the other electrode. The signal amount measured at the first electrode is then compensated by the estimated undesired signal amount. The location of contact with the touch sensor is then determined based on the compensated signal amount.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Elo Touch Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Joel C.
