A method for multi-touch detection in a touch input device comprising a grid based sensor, the method comprises sampling outputs from a grid based sensor over a first stage of detection, selecting sensor lines based on the sampled outputs, scanning the selected sensor lines along one axis of the grid based sensor over a second stage of detection, and determining positions of user interaction based on outputs sampled in response to scanning the selected sensor lines during the second stage of detection.

Multi-touch detection

A method for testing a digitizer to determine an operative property of the digitizer, wherein the digitizer includes a sensor grid, comprises providing an input signal on a first portion of the sensor grid, detecting at least one output signal in a second portion of the sensor grid responsive to the input signal in the first portion, and determining at least one operative property of the sensor based on the at least one output signal, wherein at least the transmitting, detecting and determining is performed autonomously by the digitizer.

System and method for diagnostics of a grid based digitizer

A system and method for providing feedback to a user making a gesture for switching between at least two types of user interactions used to operate a digitizer system, the method comprising recognizing the gesture to switch between the types of user interactions, switching the type of user interaction used to operate the digitizer system, and providing feedback to the user indicating recognition of the gesture.
