Touch method for palm rejection and electronic device using the same
mode, the touch panel generates a detecting signal correspondingly to be transmitted to the control unit, and
then the control unit determines based on the detecting
signal so as to generate a control signal to the touch
panel. Thus, the touch panel activates the second operation mode and ceases the first operation mode according to the control signal, wherein the touch panel activates
the first operation mode and ceases the second operation
mode correspondingly provided that no motion is detected for a first period of time at the second operation mode.

vided with software to activate or turn off the palm rejection function by determining the contact area size between the users hands and the touch panel. For example, it means that the user unintentionally performs the
functions of sliding or dragging when the contact area is
smaller, such that the palm rejection function is activated
correspondingly. On the contrary, the palm rejection
function is turned off correspondingly when the contact
area is larger. However, defect of the method is that erroneous judgment caused by changes of the users gestures is easily occurred, such that accuracy of the judgment is diminished.
[0005] From above mentioned, how to efficiently judge
the users requirements and activate or turn off the palm
rejection function correspondingly is an important issue
presently.

The touch method as claimed in claim 7, is characterized by in the step of detecting the motion in the
first detection region (1011) of the touch panel (101)
at the first the motion, the motion by detection in the
first detection region (1011) is the sliding motion extended from the first detection region (1011) to the
second detection region (1012).
