TOUCH PANEL HAVING VIRTUAL FUNCTION BUTTON, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF IDENTIFYING TOUCH CONFLICT ON THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method of identifying touch conflict on a touch panel, comprising steps of:
- detecting if a function button mounted on the touch panel is touched to generate a first sensing signal variation;
detecting if at least one auxiliary button mounted on the touch panel is touched to generate at least one second sensing signal variation; and
if the first sensing signal variation and the second signal variation are detected, determining that a touch conflict occurs.

Abstract
A touch device capable of identifying touch conflict has at least one function button mounted on a touch panel of the touch device and at least one auxiliary button mounted around the at least one function button. The at least one function button and the at least one auxiliary button are touch-activated. When users simultaneously or sequentially touch the at least one function button and the at least one auxiliary button, the touch device determines that a touch conflict occurs and determines whether to execute a function originally defined by the at least one function button or to execute another function according to the touch conflict.
