Abstract

The present application provides a method for determining mistaken approaching/touching event, comprising: gathering one or more touch sensitive signal value corresponding to a line piece; calculating a sum of differences of each signal value and a baseline value; and if the sum is less than or equals to zero, determining the line piece is corresponding to a mistaken approaching/touching event.

Claims (30)

1. A method for determining whether a palm line piece group needs to be divided, comprising one or any combination of the following steps:

determining whether a length sum of line pieces of the line piece group is larger than a palm line piece group length threshold; and

determining whether lengths of line pieces in the line piece group are arranged in ascent order and descent order for a certain times.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprises:

searching for relative low points of signal values along a central profile of the line piece group; and

dividing the line piece group by the relative low points if it is determined that the palm line piece group needs to be divided.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprises:

searching for line pieces with lengths shorter than a length threshold; and

dividing the line piece group by the line pieces with lengths shorter than the length threshold if it is determined that the palm line piece group needs to be divided.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprises:

searching for line pieces shorter than neighboring line pieces; and

dividing the line piece group by the line pieces shorter than neighboring line pieces if it is determined that the palm line piece group needs to be divided.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprises:

searching for two neighboring line pieces having the same length and shorter than other neighboring line pieces; and

dividing the line piece group by the line pieces having the same length if it is determined that the palm line piece group needs to be divided.

6. An apparatus for determining whether a palm line piece group needs to be divided, wherein the apparatus is configured to perform one or any combination of the following steps:

determining whether a length sum of line pieces of the line piece group is larger than a palm line piece group length threshold; and

determining whether lengths of line pieces in the line piece group are arranged in ascent order and descent order for a certain times.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is further configured for:

searching for relative low points of signal values along a central profile of the line piece group; and

dividing the line piece group by the relative low points if it is determined that the palm line piece group needs to be divided.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is further configured for:

searching for line pieces with lengths shorter than a length threshold; and

dividing the line piece group by the line pieces with lengths shorter than the length threshold if it is determined that the palm line piece group needs to be divided.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is further configured for:

searching for line pieces shorter than neighboring line pieces; and

dividing the line piece group by the line pieces shorter than neighboring line pieces if it is determined that the palm line piece group needs to be divided.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further configured for:

searching for two neighboring line pieces having the same length and shorter than other neighboring line pieces; and

dividing the line piece group by the line pieces having the same length if it is determined that the palm line piece group needs to be divided.
