INFORMATION INPUT DEVICE, INFORMATION INPUT METHOD, INFORMATION INPUT-OUTPUT DEVICE, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND ELECTRONIC UNIT
First Claim
1. Apparatus for detecting proximity of an object, the apparatus comprising:
- an input panel comprising at least one detection element; and
at least one circuit configured to;
determine, from a first input frame, a first representation of possible proximity of the object to the input panel;
determine, from a second input frame generated after the first input frame, a second representation of possible proximity of the object to the input panel;
determine, from a third input frame generated after the second input frame, a third representation of possible proximity of the object to the input panel; and
determine whether proximity of the object to the input panel is detected for the second input frame, based at least in part on the third representation, if the first and second representations are not similar.

Abstract
An information input device includes an input panel and one or more circuits. The one or more circuits are configured to determine first, second and third representations of possible proximity of an object to an input panel from first, second and third input frames, respectively. The second input frame is generated after the first input frame, and the third input frame is generated after the second input frame. The one or more circuits are configured to determine whether proximity of the object to the input panel is detected for the second input frame, based on the third representation, if the first and second representations are not similar.

18. A method for detecting proximity of an object to an input panel, the method comprising:
-
determining, from a first input frame, a first representation of possible proximity of the object to the input panel; determining, from a second input frame generated after the first input frame, a second representation of possible proximity of the object to the input panel; determining, from a third input frame generated after the second input frame, a third representation of possible proximity of the object to the input panel; and determining, using at least one circuit, whether proximity of the object to the input panel is detected for the second input frame, based at least in part on the third representation, if the first and second representations are not similar. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with a plurality of computer-executable instructions that, when executed, perform a method for detecting proximity of an object to an input panel, the method comprising:
-
determining, from a first input frame, a first representation of possible proximity of the object to the input panel; determining, from a second input frame generated after the first input frame, a second representation of possible proximity of the object to the input panel; determining, from a third input frame generated after the second input frame, a third representation of possible proximity of the object to the input panel; and determining whether proximity of the object to the input panel is detected for the second input frame, based at least in part on the third representation, if the first and second representations are not similar.
