  • Patent number: 8587557
    Abstract: A touch position detection apparatus and method using multistage scan, the apparatus including: a scan lines connection circuit, used to control the connection configuration between a first group of scan lines and a second group of scan lines, to form an equivalent resolution distribution of a sensor device, wherein the second group of scan lines are coupled with the sensor device; a touch scan unit, used to select a portion of the first group of scan lines to detect an interim touch coordinate; and a touch coordinate decision unit, having a plurality of operation stages, used to control the scan lines connection circuit and the touch scan unit according to the operation stages, and sum up a plurality of the interim coordinates detected in the operation stages.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8497849
    Abstract: A touch module outputting sensed data array, the touch module including a sensor array, and a sensed data array generator, the sensed data array generator including: a multiplexer, used to select one line from a plurality of scan output lines of the sensor array for delivering an analog sensed output signal, wherein the analog sensed output signal carries sensed array information of the sensor array; an analog to digital converter, used for converting the analog sensed output signal to a first digital signal, to provide a first sensed data array corresponding to the sensed array information; a memory, used for storing the first sensed data array; and an output control unit, used for transforming the first sensed data array to a second sensed data array.
