Abstract

The present application relates to a method of operating a capacitance sensing device comprises: calculating a difference of a raw data compared to one of the raw data received in a previous data frame; and performing a comparison calculation based on the raw data and a stored baseline value to determine whether a proximity event has occurred. Under the proximity event, selects one of several baseline value update procedures based on the magnitude of the difference. Thus, the present application effectively avoids the problem of failure to update the baseline value when the object is close to the capacitance sensing device for a long period of time, which may lead to misjudgment of the capacitance sensing device.
