Abstract: A touch point recognition method of a touch screen includes touching a palm on one surface of a screen and sensing a palm area from the other surface of the screen. Finger touch areas are extracted from the sensed palm area by using a bandpass filter, a finger area is extracted from the palm area by using an image processing filter, and a palm center area is extracted from the palm area by using a lowpass filter. The finger touch areas are grouped based on the finger area, and a finger touch area, which is distant from the center area in the group of the finger touch areas, is recognized as an actual touch area.

Abstract: A vehicle having a touch recognition function includes a touch pad recognizing a writing signal in a touch form input by a user. A display displays a touch trace corresponding to the writing signal recognized by the touch pad. A controller is configured to calculate writing coordinates of the writing signal, to obtain a writing recognition load by analyzing a touch trace speed of the calculated writing coordinates, and to increase a processing priority of a writing recognition task among service tasks within the vehicle when the obtained writing recognition load is greater than or equal to a reference value.

Abstract: A display apparatus for a vehicle includes a screen on which an image is displayed. A projector projects the image to the screen, and a knob is rotatably disposed at one side of the screen. A vibration sensor senses a vibration and outputs a vibration signal. A controller determines a rotational direction and a rotational amount of the knob based on the vibration signal output from the vibration sensor.
