METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTED PRE-PROCESSING OF TOUCH DATA AND DISPLAY REGION CONTROL

摘要

In an embodiment, a system includes a peripheral controller to interface with a touch controller and to communicate mapping information to identify primary and secondary regions of a display. The touch controller includes logic to filter touch data when it is for a touch within the secondary region and to communicate the touch data to the peripheral controller when it is for the user touch within the primary region. In an embodiment, display logic may determine when and how to use a display bezel area for displaying content, via a combination of criteria. Decision vectors (such as sensors, device configuration, content type, primary display activity) may enable/disable display areas for rendering, with independent control of each side of the bezel. Content can be rendered based on primary display content, environment, other devices and user preferences. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a peripheral controller to interface with a touch controller and to communicate mapping information to the touch controller, the mapping information including identification of a primary region of a display of the system and a secondary region of the display; the touch controller coupled to the peripheral controller and including a first logic to filter touch data received from a touch device when the touch data corresponds to a user touch within the secondary region and to communicate the touch data to the peripheral controller when the touch data corresponds to the user touch within the primary region; the touch device coupled to the touch controller to receive the user touch and to communicate the touch data to the touch controller; a display logic coupled to the display to control the display to render content in the secondary region based on one or more of configuration of the system, information from one or more environmental sensors, a type of content to be rendered, and a mode of the primary region; and the display coupled to the display logic, wherein display content in the primary region is independent of display content in the secondary region.
