Abstract

An apparatus includes a touch interface (102) that includes a plurality of electrodes (106) and a shield device (110). The shield device (110) is configured to establish a first mutual capacitive coupling with a first electrode of the plurality of electrodes (106). The shield device (110) is further configured to establish a second mutual capacitive coupling with a second electrode of the plurality of electrodes (106). The apparatus further includes a controller (104) coupled to the touch interface (102). The controller (104) is configured to detect a touch based on a detected first capacitance value of the first mutual capacitive coupling and a detected second capacitance value of the second mutual capacitive coupling.

Description

Background technique [0001] Capacitive touch detection technology has been used in many touch-driven devices, such as touch screens and keypads. Such touch-driven devices include a plurality of sensors and detect touch locations based on measured capacitance changes of the sensors. For example, a user's finger near a sensor may cause the capacitance of one of the sensors to increase or decrease, thereby causing the touch-driven device to detect a touch at the location of the sensor. However, the presence of liquid on the surface of a capacitive touch sensor can interfere with touch detection. For example, liquid present on the surface of a capacitive touch sensor can establish an electrical connection between a first sensor and a second sensor such that a user touching the first sensor can affect the capacitance of both the first sensor and the second sensor. Additionally, liquid present on a capacitive touch sensor can create an electrical connection between the sensor and ...
