A filter predicts in response to the motion parameter a next contiguous segment of the path defined by the user-contact point moving across the touch sensitive display. A compensation circuit initiates a display by the touch sensitive display of the detected segment of the path and the predicted next segment of the path. An updating circuit initiates an update of the detected segment of the path and the predicted next contiguous segment of the path as the user contact point moves across the touch sensitive display. | 2015-06-04 |
20150153891 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INITIALIZINIG TOUCH SCREEN THEREOF - A method for maintaining a touch screen in a state constantly ready for user touches is applied to an electronic device with a touch screen. The touch screen includes a number of electrodes. The electronic device includes a sensor to periodically detect readings of the electronic device in terms of immobility as against physical movement or in terms of ambient circumstances. The method obtains readings from the detecting sensor when the touch screen is woken up and determining any difference between the instant reading and previous readings taken as parameters. The variance between the instant reading and the established parameter is determined and the electrical potentials of the electrodes are adjusted to be the same if the variance is greater than the preset value. | 2015-06-04 |
