Method of compensating for edge coordinates of touch sensing system
A method of compensating for coordinates of an edge portion of a touch sensing system is disclosed. The method includes calculating coordinates of a touch point, suitably converting the coordinates of the touch point based on a resolution of a display panel, deciding whether or not current coordinates of the touch point are present in a bezel area outside an active area of the display panel, in which an image is displayed, and when the current coordinates of the touch point are present in the bezel area, modifying the current coordinates of the touch point into edge coordinates of the active area contacting the bezel area.
1. A method of compensating for coordinates of an edge portion of a touch sensing system, comprising:
calculating a coordinate of a touch point corresponding to a touch input generated in the edge portion between an active area of the display panel and an bezel area outside the active area, an image being displayed in the active area of the display panel;
suitably converting the coordinate of the touch point based on a resolution of the display panel;
deciding whether or not a current coordinate of the touch point is present in the bezel area; and
when the current coordinate of the touch point is present in the bezel area, modifying the current coordinate of the touch point into an edge coordinate of the active area,
wherein the edge coordinate of the active area contacts the bezel area and is on a shortest path between the current coordinate and a previous coordinate of the touch point, the previous coordinate of the touch point corresponding to a touch input generated inside the active area of the display panel.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modifying of the current coordinate of the touch point into the edge coordinate of the active area when the current coordinate of the touch point is present in the bezel area includes when the touch point moves from the previous coordinate of the active area to a current coordinate of a left bezel area, modifying an x-coordinate of the current coordinate into zero and modifying a y-coordinate of the current coordinate into a left edge coordinate of the active area on the shortest path between the current coordinate and the previous coordinate of the touch point.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modifying of the current coordinate of the touch point into the edge coordinate of the active area when the current coordinate of the touch point is present in the bezel area includes when the touch point moves from the previous coordinate of the active area to a current coordinate of a right bezel area, modifying an x-coordinate of the current coordinate into a maximum x-coordinate of the active area and modifying a y-coordinate of the current coordinate into a right edge coordinate of the active area on the shortest path between the current coordinate and the previous coordinate of the touch point.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modifying of the current coordinate of the touch point into the edge coordinate of the active area when the current coordinate of the touch point is present in the bezel area includes when the touch point moves from the previous coordinate of the active area to a current coordinate of an upper bezel area, modifying a y-coordinate of the current coordinate into zero and modifying an x-coordinate of the current coordinate into an upper edge coordinate of the active area on the shortest path between the current coordinate and the previous coordinate of the touch point.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modifying of the current coordinate of the touch point into the edge coordinate of the active area when the current coordinate of the touch point is present in the bezel area includes when the touch point moves from the previous coordinate of the active area to a current coordinate of a lower bezel area, modifying a y-coordinate of the current coordinate into a maximum y-coordinate of the active area and modifying an x-coordinate of the current coordinate into a lower edge coordinate of the active area on the shortest path between the current coordinate and the previous coordinate of the touch point.
