MOTION COMPONENT DOMINANCE FACTORS FOR MOTION LOCKING OF TOUCH SENSOR DATA
First Claim
1. An apparatus for reconstructing a first image on a touch panel from a second image captured on the touch panel, the apparatus comprising:
- scan logic couplable to the touch panel and capable of performing a scan of the touch panel so as to capture the second image; and
a processor coupled to the scan logic and capable ofaligning columns of image data in the second image with each other, andaligning the column-aligned image data with a baseline value to reconstruct the first image.

Abstract
An image jaggedness filter is disclosed that can be used to detect the presence of ungrounded objects such as water droplets or coins, and delay periodic baseline adjustments until these objects are no longer present. To do otherwise could produce inaccurate normalized baseline sensor output values. The application of a global baseline offset is also disclosed to quickly modify the sensor offset values to account for conditions such as rapid temperature changes. Background pixels not part of any touch regions can be used to detect changes to no-touch sensor output values and globally modify the sensor offset values accordingly. The use of motion dominance ratios and axis domination confidence values is also disclosed to improve the accuracy of locking onto dominant motion components as part of gesture recognition.

22. A touch sensitive device comprising:
-
a touch panel capable of sensing a proximate object; scan logic couplable to the touch panel and capable of performing a scan of the touch panel so as to capture a first touch image; and a processor capable of reconstructing a second touch image from the first touch image, the reconstructing including calculating first alignments for portions of the first touch image, each portion having a different first alignment, aligning the portions with each other according to the first alignments to form an aligned first image, calculating a second alignment for the aligned first image, and aligning the aligned first image according to the second alignment to meet a baseline value so as to form the reconstructed second touch image. - View Dependent Claims (23)
