NOVELTY - The method involves mapping a touch point having a smallest touch identification (Touch ID) to an initial register location and another touch point having a largest Touch ID to a final register location in a capacitive touchscreen (90), if the Touch ID is employed to sort the touch points. The former touch point having a highest force and the latter touch point having a lowest force are respectively mapped to the initial register location and the final register location, if a touch force is employed to sort the touch points.    USE - Method for sorting motion reports in a processor or host controller e.g. touchscreen controller such as AMRI-5000 touchscreen controller, for generating heartbeat or line scan of a mutual capacitance sensing device, in a mutual capacitance touch sensing system i.e. capacitive touch-screen system, for a portable or hand-held device e.g. cellular phone, smart phone, MPEG-1 audio layer 3 (MP3) player, portable music player, game controller, laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), LCD device, radio, mobile Internet device, global positioning system (GPS) device, and a stationary device e.g. industrial control device or control panel, household appliance, exercise machine, personal computer, computer display, TV and stereo. Can also be used for touchpad processor or controller, microprocessor, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and CPU.    ADVANTAGE - The method enables operating the mutual capacitance sensing system to permit more accurate and adaptable touch sensing with reduced power consumption by reducing a heartbeat or line scan rate when a set of touches does not exists on a touch panel.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a method for determining a touch area of a user's finger on a touch panel or touchpad in a mutual capacitance sensing device    (2) a method for avoiding false wakeups and minimizing power consumption in a mutual capacitance sensing device.
