  • Patent number: 9557852
    Abstract: A method of identifying a palm area for a touch panel has steps of: receiving sensing frame information having multiple touching sensing points from the touch panel; selecting one of the touching sensing points; outwardly extending a distance from an outline of the selected touching sensing point to define a searching range; checking whether other touching sensing points are within the searching range; marking the touching sensing points in the searching range and expanding the searching range based on the currently marked touching sensing points; sequentially selecting and checking each touching sensing point if it is within the present searching range; and finally merging all the outlines of the marked touching sensing points to form a final outline as a palm area. Other unmarked touching sensing points are defined as touching reference points.

  • Patent number: 9323383
    Abstract: A method of identifying edge swipe gesture has steps of respectively reading sensing signals on an edge area under a hover mode and on a non-edge area under a touch mode; determining if a touch object has appeared on the edge area after determining that the object has appeared on the non-edge area, calculating a displacement of the object moving from the edge area to the non-edge area within a preset time and determining if the displacement exceeds a preset distance, and determining that the movement of the touch is identified as an edge swipe gesture if the displacement meets the condition. Accordingly, the present invention can perform valid touch on the edge area, rendering effective identification of edge swipe gesture and an increased success rate of the identification.

  • Publication number: 20160054831
    Abstract: A capacitive touch device and a method identifying touch object on the touch device read sensing information of multiple traces of a touch panel corresponding to a touch object, in which the sensing information includes a sensing cluster corresponding to a portion on the touch panel touched by the touch object, identify a hover cluster of the sensing information corresponding to a portion adjacent to and surrounding the sensing cluster, determine if the hover cluster meets a first characteristic, and determine that the touch object is a specific touch object when the hover cluster meets the first characteristic. Given the foregoing device and method, a palm rejection operation can be more accurately performed and is also applicable to object detection at corners of the touch panel.

  • Patent number: 9173313
    Abstract: A waterproof structure of a casing has a case body and a cover pivotally mounted on the case body. The case body has a recess, a water collecting sump defined in the recess and two abutting protrusions respectively formed on two opposite inner sidewalls of the case body. The cover has an outer shell, and an inner stop and two side stops formed on an inner surface of the outer shell. When the cover pivots to cover the recess of the case body, the inner stop and the side stops prevent moisture and dust from entering the case body from a clearance formed between a pivot edge of the outer shell and the water collecting side surface of the case body.

  • Publication number: 20110018828
    Abstract: A touch device for multi-touch environment generates a sensing signal in response to an object touch thereon, generates an event signal according to the sensing signal and a control signal, generates a cursor signal according to coordinate information of each touch point contained in the sensing signal and the event signal, and transmits the cursor signal and the event signal to the multi-touch environment. The cursor signal is used to control a cursor application to show a cursor at a screen for each touch point and changes appearances of the cursors. The cursors clearly inform a user of locations where his/her fingers correspond on the screen. By conducting touch events in the multi-touch environment through the cursors instead of actual fingers, the user can operate the touch device other than a touch screen in a multi-touch manner as operating a multi-touch screen.
