1. A touch controller comprising:
- sense circuitry configured to sense an object at a touch sensor panel; and
a touch processor capable of;
when the object is a first distance from the touch sensor panel, determining a predicted touch location associated with the object on the touch sensor panel based on at least a trajectory of the object towards the touch sensor panel; and
when the object is a second distance from the touch sensor panel, less than the first distance, determining an identified touch location associated with the object on the touch sensor panel based on at least the predicted touch location, wherein the identified touch location is different than the predicted touch location and a centroid of the object detected when the object is at the second distance from the touch sensor panel.

Abstract
A touch controller is disclosed. The touch controller can comprise sense circuitry configured to sense an object at a touch sensor panel, and a touch processor. The touch processor can be capable of, when the object is a first distance from the touch sensor panel, determining a predicted touch location associated with the object on the touch sensor panel based on at least a trajectory of the object towards the touch sensor panel, and when the object is a second distance from the touch sensor panel, less than the first distance, determining an identified touch location associated with the object on the touch sensor panel based on at least the predicted touch location.

12. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
-
sensing an object at a touch sensor panel; when the object is a first distance from the touch sensor panel, determining a predicted touch location associated with the object on the touch sensor panel based on at least a trajectory of the object towards the touch sensor panel; and when the object is a second distance from the touch sensor panel, less than the first distance, determining an identified touch location associated with the object on the touch sensor panel based on at least the predicted touch location, wherein the identified touch location is different than the predicted touch location and a centroid of the object detected when the object is at the second distance from the touch sensor panel. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
