First Claim
1. A data transmission method in a capacitive touch system using at least two first integrated circuits to simultaneously scan a touch panel, each of the first integrated circuits for scanning a respective portion of a plurality of traces of the touch panel, each of the traces being given an order number, the data transmission method comprising:
- for each of the first integrated circuits, sending the order number of a first trace having a non-zero sensed value and the order number of a last trace having a non-zero sensed value to a second integrated circuit; and
sending the sensed values of all traces whose order numbers range from the order number of the first trace having a non-zero sensed value and the order number of the last trace having a non-zero sensed value to the second integrated circuit.

Abstract
A capacitive touch system uses at least two first integrated circuits to simultaneously scan a touch panel, each of the first integrated circuits only for scanning a portion of the touch panel to retrieve the sensed data from its responsible traces. Therefore, the capacitive touch system can maintain a good frame rate, even the touch panel is a large scale touch panel. A data transmission method transmits only the non-zero sensed values to a second integrated circuit where a calculation with the non-zero sensed values is executed, and thereby reduces the data transmission time.
