Abstract:
Apparatus and method are provided that are capable of controlling a display in response to reliable detection of a sliding movement operation of a pointer (e.g., a user's finger) that passes through an end of a display region. The apparatus and method utilize a position detection sensor, which is superposed on the display and configured to detect the pointer's position discretely and successively at a predetermined time interval. Based on a first position detected by the position detection sensor and a second position detected, at the predetermined time interval since the detection of the first position, by the position detection sensor, which together indicate a moving operation of the pointer, it is determined whether the moving operation of the pointer has crossed an end of the display region. If it is so determined, a passed end position of the display region is calculated based on the first and second positions.

Claim (Index 1):
A method executed in a touch controller coupled to a position detection sensor, the method comprising:\n periodically detecting a position of a pointer on the position detection sensor at a defined time cycle; detecting a first position of the pointer on the position detection sensor, setting a status counter to a first state, and storing the first position in a memory; detecting a second position of the pointer at the defined time cycle after a timing of the detection of the first position, setting the status counter to a second state, determining whether the pointer has passed an edge of a display region of the position detection sensor based on the first position and the second position, wherein\n (i) in response to determining that the pointer has passed the edge of the display region, outputting an estimated end position associated with the passing of the edge, instead of outputting the first position or the second position, and \n (ii) else, outputting the second position; and \n detecting a third position of the pointer on the position detection sensor, setting the status counter to a third state, and outputting the third position without the determining of whether the pointer has passed an edge of the display region.
