Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of systems having a capacitive touch screen. The system according to the invention has a portable capacitive device that is intended, in operational mode, to be carried by a user. The touch screen operates at at least one first frequency. The system operates according to at least one first identification mode in which the portable device has transmission means for transmitting a first periodic analogue signal that is transmitted at a second frequency, referred to as “identification” frequency, that is different from the first frequency, said frequency being in a range of frequencies that are transmitted by the human body, said first signal being unique and associated with the user. The portable touch screen has first means for detecting and identifying said first signal and second means for authorizing or denying access to predetermined applications of the touch screen, which are dependent on the identification of the user.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of touchscreen devices with projected capacitive detection comprising a touch-sensitive matrix panel comprising a plurality of conductive rows and conductive columns, said panel being connected to electronic control means. The electronic control means generate two periodic transmission voltages transmitted at two different frequencies. Analysis of the reception voltages is used to determine the positions of presses on the touch-sensitive panel, including when a row or column is cut. Pressing on a cut row or column is basically determined by calculating the barycenters of ‘virtual’ hollows in the reception voltages corresponding to this cut row or column.
