Abstract
A touch sensing method adapted for an electronic apparatus including a touch panel is provided. The touch sensing method includes the following steps: driving the touch panel by a mutual capacitance mode and a self capacitance mode; sensing a gesture applied on the touch panel, wherein the gesture forms at least one touch area on the touch panel; determining at least one geometric center of the at least one touch area based on self-mode data obtained in the self capacitance mode; and determining at least one touch location associated with the gesture on the touch panel based on the at least one geometric center of the at least one touch area. Furthermore, an electronic apparatus to which the foregoing touch sensing method is applied is also provided.
