Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a touch sensitive system including a touch surface, a plurality of emitters that emit light, a plurality of detectors that detect the emitted light, a plurality of distributed controllers each can control operation of a segment of emitters and detectors, a main controller that can control the distributed controllers. The touch sensitive system can set in a partial detect mode in which mode a first of the distributed controllers can be active and control a first emitter to emit light in a partial region of the panel coincident with a partial area of the touch surface. The touch sensitive system can detect a predetermined gesture on the partial area of the touch surface, generate a gesture signal indicating the predetermined gesture, and activate a feature of the touch sensitive system in accordance with the predetermined gesture.

Claim (Index 48):
A method for activating a feature of a touch sensitive system comprising a plurality of distributed controllers connected with a main controller, the plurality of distributed controllers forming pairs of distributed controllers configured to control operation of opposing segments of the plurality of emitters and the plurality of detectors, the method comprising:\n emitting light from a plurality of emitters across a touch surface; detecting the emitted light at a plurality of detectors; controlling, with the plurality of distributed controllers, operation of the plurality of emitters and the plurality of detectors; sequentially activating pairs of distributed controllers in a partial detect mode; detecting, with a first distributed controller, a predetermined gesture on a partial area of said touch surface; and generating, with the first distributed controller in the first subset, a gesture signal indicating the predetermined gesture; wherein activating all distributed controllers in response to receiving the gesture signal.
