1. A method for using a touch display system, comprising:
- defining local distortion zones within regions of a touchscreen, each of the local distortion zones having an associated calibration touch point and a target; and
distorting coordinates of a user touch point within a first local distortion zone based on a location of the user touch point within the first local distortion zone.

Abstract
A method for using a touch display system comprises defining local distortion zones within regions of a touchscreen. Each of the local distortion zones has an associated calibration touch point and a target. Coordinates of a user touch point are distorted within a first local distortion zone based on a location of the user touch point within the first local distortion zone.

7. A touchscreen system comprising:
-
a display screen; a touchscreen being mounted to the display screen; and a local distortion module being configured to; compute a first discrepancy vector based on a first target displayed on the display screen and a first calibration touch point detected on the touchscreen; compute a first local distortion zone comprising the first calibration touch point, the first local distortion zone comprising a first portion of the touchscreen; and distort coordinates of user touch points detected within the first local distortion zone based on the first distortion vector. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for calibrating a touch display system, comprising:
-
detecting a first calibration touch point on a touchscreen associated with a first target displayed on a display screen, the first calibration touch point and the first target having first and second sets of coordinates, respectively; defining a first local distortion zone based on the first calibration touch point, the first local distortion zone comprising an area of the touchscreen including at least the first calibration touch point; and determining a first discrepancy vector for distorting coordinates of a user touch point within the first local distortion zone, the first discrepancy vector being based on the first set of coordinates and the second set of coordinates. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
