    Abstract: Multi-touch sensitivity is enabled using a touch system that comprises a panel configured to conduct signals, e.g. by FTIR, from a plurality of incoupling points to a plurality of outcoupling points, thereby defining detection lines across the panel between pairs of incoupling and outcoupling points. A signal processor operates in a repeating sequence of iterations to obtain (50) a current signal value for each detection line, and generate (53, 53') a first interaction pattern and a second interaction pattern as a function of the current signal values, such that the first and second interaction patterns are reconstructed two-dimensional distributions of local interaction with the conducted signals across the surface portion, and represent changes in interaction on different time scales. Thereby, the movement of an object will affect how it is represented in each of the first and second interaction patterns. Touch detection may be improved by proper selection of the time scales and combined analysis (56) of the first and second interaction patterns.

    Abstract: A touch sensing apparatus is controlled to determine the position of one or more objects (7) that interact with a touch surface (1). The apparatus includes a group of emitters (2) arranged to emit light to illuminate at least part of the touch surface (1), a light detector (4) arranged to receive light from the group of emitters (2), and a processing element (7). Each emitter (2) is controlled to transmit a code by way of the emitted light such that the code identifies the respective emitter (2). The codes may at least partly be transmitted concurrently. The codes may be selected such that a value of an autocorrelation of each code is significantly higher than a value of a cross-correlation between any two codes of different emitters (2). The processing element processes an output signal from the light detector (4) to separate the light received from the individual emitters (2) based on the transmitted codes, and to determine the position of the object/objects (7) based on the light received from the individual emitters (2), e.g. using triangulation or image reconstruction such as an algorithm for transmission tomography.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer-readable medium for determining a location of at least one object on a touch surface of a light transmissive panel. The method comprises the steps of: introducing light into the panel for propagation by internal reflection between the touch surface and an opposite surface; receiving the light propagating in the panel; and iteratively i) determining a current signal profile of light received by the light detection arrangement, ii) updating, when a condition is met, a background signal profile of light received by the light detection arrangement, iii) calculating a current compensated signal profile as a function of the background signal profile and the current signal profile and iv) determining, when the object touches the touch surface and thereby attenuates the light propagating in the panel, the location as a function of the compensated signal profile.
