Detecting multiple simultaneous touches on a touch-sensor device

A method, comprising:

• detecting a plurality of substantially simultaneous touches on a touch-sensor device having a plurality of sections in at least one axis of the touch-sensor device;
• and
• resolving a plurality of locations of the plurality of substantially simultaneous touches on the touch-sensor device when the plurality of substantially simultaneous touches are detected on the touch-sensor device without an all-points-addressable array (APA) array of sensor elements in the touch-sensor device, wherein said resolving comprises:
• resolving a first location of the plurality of locations in a first section of the plurality of sections;
• and
• resolving a second location of the plurality of locations in a second section of the plurality of sections that is adjacent to the first section;
• wherein resolving each of the first and second locations comprises:
• scanning a first set of sensor elements disposed in a first axis of the touch-sensor device;
• scanning a second set of sensor elements disposed in a second axis of the touch-sensor device, wherein the second set of sensor elements are disposed in the first section;
• and
• scanning a third set of sensor elements disposed in the second axis of the touch-sensor device, wherein the third set of sensor elements are disposed in the second section.
