Abstract: The present invention carries out palm rejection on a multi-touch panel. The panel is first touched by a palm before the detection of a finger or pen to define a rejection region and the touch location of the finger or pen is detected outside that rejection region. The present invention, when the rejection region and the touch location of the finger or pen have been detected, is able to continuously detecting a region touched by the palm using a detected range defined by the rejection region to determine whether the rejection region needs to be updated.
