  • Patent number: 12207214
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for determining a tolerance specification of a clock synchronization between a touch display device (TDD) and a stylus. In the method, an accumulated timing error between the TDD and the stylus is determined based on crystal inaccuracies of the TDD and the stylus, connection interval of Bluetooth communication between the TDD and the stylus, and a number of consecutive failed transmissions of the Bluetooth communication. A total processing delay is determined based on a first processing delay and a second processing delay. The first processing delay is a time delay of sending a synchronization signal from touch driving circuitry of the TDD to Bluetooth circuitry of the TDD. The second processing delay is a time delay of sending a Bluetooth packet from the TDD to the stylus. The tolerance specification is determined based on the accumulated timing error and the total processing delay.
