METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TOUCH AND MOTION SENSING POINTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a touch and motion sensing pointing device comprising a touch sensing module, a main processing unit, a motion sensing module, and a signal transmitting module, the method comprising steps of:
- sensing a touch through the touch sensing module;
determining if a touch size of the touch is smaller than a predetermined size when the touch is sensed;
locking an output of coordinate signals of the touch and motion sensing pointing device when the touch size of the touch is smaller than the predetermined size;
measuring if a persisting time of the touch is greater than a predetermined time when the output of coordinate signals is locked;
unlocking the output of coordinate signals when the persisting time of the touch is greater than the predetermined time; and
transmitting a mouse-click signal when the persisting time of the touch is smaller than or equal to the predetermined time.

Abstract
A method for controlling a touch and motion sensing pointing device is disclosed. In the method, a touch on the pointing device is sensed through a touch sensing module. Whether or not a touch size of the touch is smaller than a predetermined size is determined when the touch is sensed. An output of coordinate signals of the pointing device is locked when the touch size of the touch is smaller than the predetermined size. Whether or not a persisting time of the touch is larger than a predetermined time is measured when the output of coordinate signals is locked. The output of coordinate signals is unlocked when the persisting time of the touch is greater than the predetermined time. A mouse-click signal is transmitted when the persisting time of the touch is smaller than or equal to the predetermined time.
