A method is provided for converting touch screen events into application-specific formatted data. The method includes detecting a touch screen event and identifying an active event zone associated with the touch screen, where the active event zone contains the touch screen event. The method further includes outputting application-specific formatted data based on the active event zone. In accordance with an embodiment, a touch screen system is provided comprising a display screen presenting application-specific information and an application interacting with the display screen to present the application-specific information. The application defines application formatted data sets utilized by the application in connection with the application-specific information. A sensor unit proximate to the touch screen senses a touch screen event that occurs at the touch screen. An event table contains event zones associated with the application-specific information presented on the display screen. A touch screen control module identifies, from the event zones within the event table, an active event zone containing the touch screen event. The touch screen control module outputs, to the application, an application formatted data set based on the active event zone. |
