Compensation of signal values for a touch sensor
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an input configured to receive a plurality of signal strength values from a touch sensor including a plurality of sensor elements; and
a data conditioning module coupled with the input, wherein the data conditioning module is configured to generate a set of compensated signal values, wherein the set of compensated signal values has a reduced dynamic range relative to the dynamic range of the plurality of signal strength values, by using a multiplier function to translate each of the plurality of signal strength values to a compensated signal value, wherein the compensated signal value is a function of its corresponding signal strength value, and wherein a signal strength value measured from each sensor element of the plurality of sensor elements is used to generate one of the plurality of compensated signal values based on a position of an object relative to the sensor element.
