Apparatus with touch screen and method for displaying information through external display device connected thereto
First Claim
1. An apparatus with a touch screen including a touch pad, comprising:
- a connector for connecting the apparatus to an external display device;
a sensor for generating a sensing signal upon detecting connection between the apparatus and the external display device;
a touch screen display driver for displaying data input from the touch pad on the touch screen;
an external display driver for displaying touch pad data on the external display device, when the touch pad operates in a mouse pad operation mode; and
a controller for, upon receiving the sensing signal, disabling the touch screen display driver, enabling the external display driver, recognizing a point on the touch pad selected by a user, generating a coordinate value corresponding to the point, mapping the coordinate value with a screen display coordinate of the external display device, and determining a position of a pointer to be displayed on a screen of the external display device.

Abstract
There is provided an apparatus with a touch screen including a touch pad. The apparatus includes a connecter for connecting the apparatus to an external display device; a sensor for generating a sensing signal upon detecting connection between the apparatus and the external display device; a touch screen display driver for displaying data input from the touch pad on the touch screen; an external display driver for displaying data input from the touch pad on the external display device when the touch pad operates in a mouse pad mode; and a controller for upon receiving the sensing signal, disabling the touch screen display driver, enabling the external display driver, recognizing a point on the touch pad selected by a user, generating a coordinate value corresponding to the point, performing calculation for mapping the coordinate value with a screen display coordinate of the external display device, and determining a position of a pointer to be displayed on a screen of the external display device.
