TOUCH PANEL
First Claim
1. A touch panel, comprising:
- a resistance panel module including a first conducting path and a second conducting path;
a voltage dividing resistance, one end of the voltage dividing resistance receiving a voltage source;
a selector connecting the other end of the voltage dividing resistance and connecting two ends of the first conducting path and two ends of the second conducting path; and
a detecting module coupled to the selector,wherein when an event of multiple-point touching occurs, the first conducting path is electrically connected to the second conducting path at multiple points, the selector selects the first conducting path to connect the voltage dividing resistance in series, and the detecting module detects the two ends of the first conducting path, so as to estimate the event of multiple-point touching.

Abstract
A touch panel is provided. The touch panel includes a resistance panel module and a detecting module. The resistance panel module includes a first conducting path and a second conducting path. When an event of multiple-point touching occurs, the first conducting path is electrically connected to the second conducting path. The detecting module is coupled to the touch panel. The detecting module detects a variation of the resistance value between the first conducting path and the second conducting path to estimate the event of multiple-point touching. Therefore, the variation of the resistance value can serve as an input signal of an interface between humans and machines to control an electronic device.
