Abstract
A touchpad with a force sensing function and force sensing method thereof are disclosed. In the force sensing method, a touch processing unit having a touch sensing procedure and a force reading procedure is provided. When the touch processing unit executes the touch sensing procedure, a force sensor is provided to sense a force applied on a touchpad body and a plurality of force sensing values are obtained. After that, a calculating unit is provided to accumulate the force sensing values to generate a force result. When the touch processing unit executes the force reading procedure, the touch processing unit reads the force result to determine whether a touch procedure is established or not.
