Abstract
A touch detecting method includes determining a size of a first touch surface area in which each of first capacitances exceeds a first threshold value, and determining that a detected indicator is a stylus or a finger based on a size of the first touch surface area. In response to determining that the detected indicator is the stylus, obtaining second capacitances by processing the first capacitances, and deriving coordinates indicating a stylus position based on a second touch surface area in which each of the second capacitances exceeds a second threshold value larger than the first threshold value. In response to determining that the detected indicator is the finger, deriving coordinates indicating a finger position based on a third touch surface area in which in which each of the first capacitances exceeds a third threshold value larger than the first threshold value.
