Abstract

See full text

In an example embodiment, an apparatus includes a sensing device. The sensing device includes circuitry configured to sense self-capacitance and circuitry configured to sense mutual-capacitance, each configured to detect capacitance values corresponding to whether an object is proximate to a touch screen. The sensing device is configured to measure a first capacitance value using the self-capacitance circuitry during self-capacitance sensing operations and to measure a second capacitance value using the mutual-capacitance circuitry during mutual-capacitance sensing operations.
