Patent attributes
A touch apparatus and a touch method are provided. The touch apparatus includes a touch panel and a processing unit. The touch panel includes a plurality of sensing electrodes. The touch panel has a first contact surface and a second contact surface. The processing unit is configured to the touch panel. The processing unit receives a touch signal generated by the touch panel sensing a touch operation. The processing unit determines whether the operation is located on the first contact surface or on the second contact surface of the touch panel according to the touch signal and a preset condition. The preset condition is determined by a sensing signal generated by sensing the touch operation touching first contact surface or the second contact surface of the touch panel using at least one of the sensing electrodes.
