Abstract: The invention is a system for reducing finger-coupling capacitance of a touch-sensor panel such that finger-coupled noise signals do not overwhelm the sensing circuit and render the panel unable to detect the finger position.

Abstract: The invention is a structure and method for creating areas of non-conducting or isolated conducting surfaces within an area of conducting surfaces such that the capacitance of said conducting surface is reduced relative to a proximate, essentially parallel, conducting surface.

Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated method, tests for an anomaly, such as an open circuit or a short circuit, at a touch sensing device. An electrical characteristic sensor senses an electrical characteristic at an electrode of the touch sensing device. Responsive to the sensed electrical characteristic, a determination is made by a determiner as to whether a short or open circuit or other anomaly exists at the touch sensing device.

Abstract: A method includes utilizing a plurality of electrodes of a capacitive touch-sensitive display to detect touches on the touch-sensitive display, concurrently driving a first group of the plurality of electrodes, and detecting an object spaced from the touch-sensitive display utilizing a second group of the plurality of electrodes while concurrently driving the first group of the plurality of electrodes.

Abstract: A method includes displaying information in a display area of a touch-sensitive display, receiving touch data from the display area and touch data from a non-display area where information is not displayed, and determining a touch location in the display area based on the touch data from the display area and the touch data from the non-display area.
