Abstract: Power consumption of a device having a resistive touch screen may be reduced if the resistive touch screen is not scanned unless a touch thereto is imminent, especially if the device can remain in a low power sleep mode during no-touch inactivity. Furthermore, detecting a potential touch earlier then an actual first touch may improve initial touch response time. The resistive touch screen may comprise top and bottom Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated planes. The top ITO coated plane may be used as a capacitive proximity detector and the bottom ITO coated plane may be used as a guard shield for the top ITO coated plane to significantly reduce parasitic capacitance thereof and enhance the sensitivity of capacitive proximity detection. The device may also remain in a low power sleep mode until a potential touch is detected thereby further saving device power consumption.
