==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOUCH SENSING ON DEVICES INCLUDING REGIONS WITH AND WITHOUT TOUCH ELECTRODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240077965 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOUCH SENSING ON DEVICES INCLUDING REGIONS WITH AND WITHOUT TOUCH ELECTRODES

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes touch sensor panels/screens with a first region containing touch electrodes and a second region without touch electrodes. Algorithms are used to determine if an object is in contact with the touch screen, based on the location of the touch patch.

* Touch sensor panels/screens have a first region with touch electrodes and a second region without touch electrodes.
* Algorithms are applied to determine if an object is in contact with the touch screen.
* The choice of algorithm depends on the location of the touch patch.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in:
* Smartphones and tablets
* Interactive kiosks
* Automotive touchscreens

== Problems Solved ==
* Improved touch sensing performance
* Enhanced user experience with touch screens

== Benefits ==
* Accurate touch detection
* Increased reliability of touch screens
* Better user interaction with devices

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimizing touch sensor panels for:
* Consumer electronics
* Industrial control systems
* Public information displays

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to touch sensor panels with different regions for touch electrodes and algorithms for touch detection. However, specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does the first algorithm differ from the second algorithm in terms of touch detection accuracy? ===
The abstract does not provide details on the specific differences between the first and second algorithms in terms of touch detection accuracy.

=== Are there any limitations to the application of these algorithms in certain environments or conditions? ===
The abstract does not mention any potential limitations or challenges that may arise when applying these algorithms in different environments or conditions.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

touch sensor panels/screens can include a first region having a plurality of touch electrodes and a second region without touch electrodes. in some examples, to improve touch sensing performance, a first algorithm or a second algorithm is applied to determine whether an object corresponding to the touch patch is in contact with the touch screen. whether to apply the first algorithm or the second algorithm is optionally dependent on the location of the touch patch.
