Abstract: A method of operating a display includes performing a non-synchronized touch scan pattern on a display with a controller coupled to the display. The non-synchronized touch scan pattern schedules touch scans independent of a refresh rate of the display. Upon the controller detecting a first synchronization pulse from a display controller coupled to the controller and the display, a first pulse-checking timer is started. Upon detecting a second synchronization pulse from the display controller and before the first pulse-checking timer expires, a first display refresh rate for the display is obtained from an interval between the first synchronization pulse and the second synchronization pulse. A synchronized touch scan pattern is performed with the controller, and is scheduled to avoid touch scans coinciding with refreshes of the display performed at the first display refresh rate.

Abstract: A method of operating a touch screen panel includes initiating a communication between the panel and an active pen and determining a touch zone of the panel. The touch zone includes communication channels that are operating by touch while bi-directional communication is occurring between the panel and active pen. Communications channels within the touch zone are disabled and communication between the panel and the active pen can occur while the communications channels within the touch zone are disabled. When it is determined that the communication between the panel and the active pen has stopped, communications channels continue to be disabled within the touch zone for a set time delay while no communication occurs between the panel and the active pen. After the set delay time, the communication channels within the touch zone are enabled.

Abstract: A method for reporting touch on a touchscreen includes detecting first touch data from the touchscreen corresponding to a first touch on the touchscreen; determining coordinates of the first touch from the first touch data; reporting the coordinates of the first touch at a first time; determining predicted coordinates of a second touch based on a linear regression of historical touch data; and reporting the predicted coordinates of the second touch at a second time, where the second time occurs after the first time.
