ABSTRACT:
Touch mapping method and apparatus locate a touch to an unpatterned and continuous layer of selected electrical conductivity in response to the incremental electrical charge which the conductive layer draws at one or more known positions, in response to electrical excitation, and relative to the charge which layer draws in the absence of the touch condition. The measurement of electrical charge provides touch location for a variety of touch impedances and other impedences coupled with the selectively conductive layer.
