1. A method of calculating a coordinate of a touch medium, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first image to determine whether the first image overlaps a first threshold;
generating a first interceptive boundary when the first image overlaps the first threshold;
obtaining a second image to generate a second interceptive boundary by overlap of the second image and a second threshold; and
confirming the touch medium is at a hovering status when the first interceptive boundary does not overlap the second interceptive boundary.

Abstract
A method of calculating a coordinate of a touch medium is disclosed in the present invention. The method includes obtaining a first image to determine whether the first image overlaps a first threshold, generating a first interceptive boundary when the first image overlaps the first threshold, obtaining a second image to generate a second interceptive boundary by overlap of the second image and a second threshold, determining whether the first interceptive boundary overlaps the second interceptive boundary, and confirming a status of the touch medium according to determination.
