1. A method of operating a touch pad with multi-objects, comprising steps of:
- sensing touch points of first and second objects on said touch pad to assert a first position coordinate (X1, Y1) and a second position coordinate (X2, Y2), respectively;
moving said second object on said touch pad to a further touch point, and sensing said further touch point to assert a third position coordinate (X3, Y3);
measuring a first slope S12 according to said first position coordinate (X1, Y1) and said second position coordinate (X2, Y2) as a first movement amount index, measuring a second slope S13 according to said first position coordinate (X1, Y1) and said third position coordinate (X3, Y3) as a second movement amount index, and measuring a third slope S23 according to said second position coordinate (X2, Y2) and said third position coordinate (X3, Y3) as a third movement amount index; and
generating a movement amount control signal according to said first slope S12, said second slope S13, said third slope S23, said first position coordinate (X1, Y1), said second position coordinate (X2, Y2) and said position coordinate (X3, Y3).

Abstract
The present invention provides a touch pad operable with multi-objects and a method of operating such a touch pad. The touch pad includes a touch structure for sensing touch points of a first and a second object and a controller for generating corresponding touching signals and related position coordinates. Moreover, the controller calculates at least two movement amount indexes according to coordinate differences between these position coordinates, thereby generating a movement amount control signal to control behaviors of a software object.

7. A touch pad operable with multi-objects, said touch pad being communicated with a host and a display body and comprising:
-
a touch structure having a lower surface communicated with said display body and an upper surface for sensing touch points, wherein first and second touching signals are respectively generated when touch points of first and second objects on said touch pad are sensed, and a third touching signal is generated when said second object is moved on said touch pad to a further touch point and said further touch point is sensed; and a controller electrically connected to said touch structure and said host for receiving said first, second and third touching signals and generating a first position coordinate (X1, Y1), a second position coordinate (X2, Y2) and a third position coordinate (X3, Y3), respectively, wherein said controller calculates a first slope S12, a second slope S13 and a third slope S23 according to coordinate differences between said first, second and third position coordinates, thereby generating a movement amount control signal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
