US Patent 12019826 Touch detecting method and touch detecting device

A touch detecting method includes determining a kind of a detected indicator based on a first area on a touch surface, obtaining a plurality of second capacitances formed by emphasizing a peak in comparison with a plurality of first capacitances by processing the plurality of first capacitances by a first filter in a case where the determining determines that the detected indicator is a stylus, deriving coordinates indicating a position of the stylus on the touch surface based on a second area on the touch surface, and deriving coordinates indicating a position of a finger on the touch surface based on a third area on the touch surface.
