ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for resolving locations of two or more substantially simultaneous touches on a touch-sensor device. The method may include detecting presences of two or more substantially simultaneous touches on a touch-sensor device at respective locations on the touch-sensor device, and resolving locations of two or more substantially simultaneous touches on the touch-sensor device. The apparatus may include a first set of sensor elements disposed in a first axis, a second set of sensor elements disposed in a second axis, and a third set of sensor elements disposed in a third axis.
