Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium tangibly encoded with instructions, that when executed by a processor of a device, perform a method comprising:
identifying, by the processor of the device, display information of a touch screen of the device, the display information corresponding to capabilities for the touch screen to recognize touch input;
determining, by the processor, voltage information related to a set of layers of the touch screen resultant from a change in capacitance;
determining, by the processor, a set of pixels of the touch screen corresponding to a dead zone, the dead zone being an area of the touch screen that does not emit light;
analyzing, by the processor, the display information based on the determined voltage information and the determined set of pixels corresponding to the dead zone;
determining, by the processor, based on the analysis of the display information, a status of the device, the status indicating whether the display is able to recognize touch input; and
outputting, by the processor, information related to the determined status, the output information identifying the status of the touch screen, the output information further comprising mechanisms for controlling an operation of the device.
