Abstract

A control method of a touch system is provided. The touch system includes a touch device and an active pen, the touch device comprises a touch display panel, a timing control circuit, and a touch detection circuit electrically connecting to the timing control circuit. The control method comprises steps of: outputting a beacon signal with a frequency from the active pen; detecting the beacon signal by the touch detection circuit; adjusting a refresh frequency of the touch display panel to be equal to a frequency of the beacon signal when the refresh frequency of the touch display panel is different from the frequency of the beacon signal; and transmitting a start trigger signal of a frame of the adjusted refresh frequency by the timing control circuit after a delay time.
