A force sensing processing method of a touchpad is provided. The comparison values obtained by subtracting the force induction quantities of different frames are used to determine whether the achievement conditions are met. If it is met, a processing step is executed to respond the event to be triggered by the changing trend of the user's force. When the force changes rapidly and the force sensing amount cannot be quickly returned to the originally set trigger threshold value, the force changing trend detected by the comparison values are be used to provide the processing steps in real time, so as to improve the user experience.

Force-sensing processing method of a touchpad

A touchpad and its force-sensing data correction method are provided. The touchpad has a force-sensing layer and a touch-sensing layer. The force-sensing layer has multiple force-sensing points. The touch-sensing layer has multiple touch-sensing points. One force-sensing point corresponds to n touch-sensing points. The force-sensing information received by the force-sensing layer is adjusted by using the touch-sensing information received by the touch-sensing layer, so that the resolution of the adjusted force-sensing information is higher than the resolution of the original received force-sensing information. In this way, the purpose of calibrating the force-sensing information is achieved, so as to improve the accuracy of determining the force applied by the object during the operation of the touchpad.
