Touch-sense apparatus available for one-dimensional and two-dimensional modes and control method therefor
First Claim
1. A touch-sense apparatus available for one-dimensional and two-dimensional modes, comprising:
- a sensor with a plurality of traces in two directions for sensing a position touched by an object on a panel of the touch-sense apparatus to generate a first signal;
a two-dimensional coordinate processor for generating a two-dimensional coordinate based on the first signal in the two-dimensional mode;
a coordinate transformer for generating a second signal from the first signal or the two-dimensional coordinate in the one-dimensional mode; and
a one-dimensional processor for generating a one-dimensional coordinate based on the second signal.

Abstract
A touch-sense apparatus available for one-dimensional and two-dimensional modes comprises a sensor having a plurality of traces in two directions to sense the position touched by an object to produce a first signal, a two-dimensional coordinate processor to produce a two-dimensional coordinate based on the first signal in the two-dimensional mode, and a coordinate transformer to produce a second signal from the first signal or the two-dimensional coordinate in the one-dimensional mode for a one-dimensional coordinate processor to produce a one-dimensional coordinate in response to the second signal.
