Abstract:
An electronic device may include a first controller associated with some channels of a digitizer having channels configured to receive a signal from a stylus, and with each channel having a direction. A second controller may be associated with channels of the digitizer not associated with the first controller. The first controller may scan for the signal at each channel associated with the first controller, and based on acquisition of the signal at a given channel associated with the first controller, calculate a property of the signal. The first controller may send the calculated property and the direction of the given channel to the second controller. The first controller and the second controller may scan for the signal at each channel having the direction of the given channel, at acquisition intervals based upon the calculated property.
Abstract:
A touch screen device having a touch screen panel and a method for operating a touch screen device are provided. The method includes monitoring, during a noise monitoring phase, channel signals of a first set of channels and a second set of channel of the touch screen panel, detecting a stylus signal in response to a channel signal greater than a stylus threshold and less than a palm threshold, selecting the first set of channels when the stylus signal is detected on at least one channel of the first set of channels and is not detected on the second set of channels, and selecting the second set of channels when the stylus signal is detected on at least one channel of the second set of channels and is not detected on the first set of channels.
