TOUCH SENSOR DEVICE
First Claim
1. A touch sensor device, comprising:
- a touch panel including a plurality of touch keys indicating a position touched by a touch object;
a plurality of first touch pads disposed at positions corresponding to the plurality of touch keys of the touch panel and generating touch information of the touch object as a first electrical signal;
a plurality of second touch pads disposed adjacent the plurality of first touch pads and generating touch information of a conductive material on the touch object as a second electrical signal; and
a touch sensing unit receiving the first electrical signal, outputting a plurality of sensing signals to allow an electronic device to perform predetermined operations corresponding to the touched touch keys, and determining whether the touch of the touch object is a normal one using the first and second electrical signals.

14. A touch sensor device, comprising:
-
a touch panel including a touch pattern in which a plurality of touch pads are connected in series by a connecting line; a touch delay time processor generating and applying a measurement digital signal to one end of the touch pattern, generating a pulse measurement digital signal by receiving a delayed measurement digital signal delayed while passing through the plurality of touch pads from the other end of the touch pattern, and outputting a delay time difference between the pulse measurement digital signal and the measurement digital signal; a delay time threshold value storage unit storing touch delay time threshold values of the plurality of touch pads to be compared with actual touch delay times and the delay time difference during touch of a touch object; and a normal touch determination unit detecting a chronological order in which the plurality of touch pads are touched, by receiving the delay time difference and comparing the delay time difference with the touch delay time threshold values, detecting a position of the touch pad which was first touched, and outputting touch position data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
