Device and Method for Driving a Touch Pad
First Claim
1. A device for driving a touch pad, comprising:
- an input unit that receives an electrical signal by touching from channels of the touch pad; and
a control logic unit that scans the channels,wherein the control logic unit comprises a channel selection section which divides the touch pad into a plurality of regions and selects the channels which are to be scanned, and the ratio of the number of total channels to the number of channels to be scanned is different according to each of the plurality of divided regions.

Abstract
Provided are a device for driving a touch pad, including: an input unit that receives an electrical signal be touching from channels of the touch pad; and a control logic unit that scans the channels. The control logic unit includes a channel selection section which divides the touch pad into a plurality of regions and selects the channels which are to be scanned, wherein the ration of the number of total channels to the number of channels to be scanned is different according to each of the plurality of divided regions. In accordance with the present invention, the scanning speed of the touch pad is improved and, thereby, the response speed of other elements which are operated depending on whether the touch pad is touched or not is enhanced.
