Abstract: Evaluation values regarding a change in velocity of an object at coordinates of a detection surface are calculated on the basis of a series of coordinate data of the same object, and it is determined whether there is an error in each coordinate data on the basis of the evaluation values.

Abstract: Non-contact position and motion sensing is improved for oscillator frequency based sensors in response to adding a two phase calibration along with bootstrapping circuit. Calibration is performed across the multiple sensor channels, so that: (1) maximum sensor channel loading is determined, and (2) the amount of capacitive load required for each other channel to match this same maximum load is stored for application to that channel during non-contact sensing. Capacitive coupling between channels is nullified by a bootstrapping process, in which time-domain voltage on the active channel is replicated on the non-active channels during non-contact sensing, thus creating equal potentials across inter-channel couplings that effectively eliminate inter-channel capacitive loading.
