Operating a touch screen control system according to a plurality of rule sets
First Claim
1. A touch screen control system, the touch screen control system comprising:
- an integrated circuit memory configured to store security data in a protected area of the integrated circuit memory; and
an integrated circuit coupled to the integrated circuit memory and configured to couple with a host processing system, wherein the integrated circuit is physically separate from the host processing system, the integrated circuit further configured to;
detect a user input in a sensing region using a touch sensor in response to a security interface being displayed on a display screen;
compare, using the plurality of rules, the user input from the touch sensor to the stored security data in the integrated circuit memory, wherein the user input from the touch sensor and the stored security data cannot be read by the host processing system, based on the stored security data being stored in the protected area; and
based on comparing the user input to the stored security data;
notify the host processing system whether the user input is authenticated;
autonomously generate a blended image by blending image data held in the integrated circuit memory, wherein said blended image is generated without requiring intervention from the host processing system; and
autonomously update the display screen with the blended image without requiring intervention from the host processing system,wherein the autonomous updating of the display screen is performed at an autonomous display image update rate, andwherein the autonomous display image update rate is different from an image data update rate at which the host processing system would update the image data.

Abstract
A touch screen control system communicates with a host processing system (HPS). The touch screen control system includes a memory and control circuitry. The control circuitry operates a touch screen according to rules stored in the memory by: during a first time period and in response to detecting a first type of user input with a touch sensor of the touch screen, updating a display screen of the touch screen autonomously without requiring intervention from the HPS following the detection of the first type of user input; during the first time period and in response to detecting a second type of user input with the touch sensor, updating the display screen according to directions provided by the HPS; and during a second time period and in response to detecting the first type of user input with the touch sensor, updating the display screen according to directions provided by the HPS.
