  • Patent number: 12455654
    Abstract: A sensing driving device includes a memory storing a touch search algorithm that performs a first neighboring direction search and a second neighboring direction search, and a processor that executes the touch search algorithm. When there is a delta value greater than or equal to a splitting criterion value among the delta values of a plurality of nodes included in a label area, the processor performs a first neighboring direction search targeting a current node having a delta value greater than or equal to a splitting criterion value, and when a valid node adjacent to the current node that searches the first neighboring direction is not searched as a result of the first neighboring direction search, the processor performs a second neighboring direction search, and when a valid node adjacent to the current node is searched as a result of the second neighboring direction search, it may determine whether to merge labeling indices between the current node and the valid node.
