  • Publication number: 20130307787
    Abstract: A method includes detecting, by a touch-sensitive display of a first electronic device, presence of a touch-sensitive display of a second electronic device. A data signal is transmitted from the first electronic device to the second electronic device by applying a drive signal to drive lines of the touch-sensitive display of the first electronic device. The touch-sensitive display of the second electronic device may the received a signal associated with the applied drive signal.
