Detecting a touch event using a first touch interface and a second touch interface

摘要

An apparatus for detecting a touch event using a first touch interface and a second touch interface includes one or more touch-sensitive sensors, a first touch interface, and a second touch interface. The first touch interface includes an optical touch interface. The second touch interface is of a different type than the first touch interface. The apparatus also includes a storage device storing machine-readable code and a processor executing the machine-readable code. The machine-readable code includes a first interface module determining a touch position on the one or more touch-sensitive sensors using the first touch interface. The machine-readable code further includes a second interface module detecting a touch contact on the one or more touch-sensitive sensors using the second touch interface.

1. An apparatus comprising:
one or more touch-sensitive sensors; a first touch interface for the one or more touch-sensitive sensors, the first touch interface comprising an optical touch interface; a second touch interface for the one or more touch-sensitive sensors, the second touch interface being of a different type than the first touch interface; a processor; a memory that stores code executable by the processor to: determine a touch position from the one or more touch-sensitive sensors of the first touch interface; disregard touch contact information from the first touch interface in response to receiving touch contact information from the first touch interface; translate the touch position determined by the first interface module into a user interface response comprising a cursor movement prior to a second interface module detecting a touch contact; detect the touch contact from the one or more touch-sensitive sensors of the second touch interface concurrent with the first interface module determining the touch position; disregard touch position information from the second touch interface in response to receiving the touch position information from the second touch interface; and combine the touch position determined by the first touch interface with the touch contact detected by the second touch interface into a touch event.
