Abstract
A Touch Screen Panel (TSP) display and touch key input apparatus comprises a TSP display providing detected touch coordinate information via a plurality of sensing channels. A touch key has a touch key sensor connected to a particular one of the plurality of sensing channels. A touch recognition unit distinguishes between a first touch input via the TSP display and a second touch input via the touch key sensor, in response touch detection scanning of the plurality of sensing channels. Also, the touch recognition unit identifies the distinguished first touch input and second touch input.

7. A method for detecting input from both a Touch Screen Panel (TSP) display and a touch key, comprising:
-
sensing at least one touch coordinate of a touch via one of the TSP display and the touch key by scanning a plurality of sensing channels of the TSP display, the touch key having a touch key sensor being connected to a particular one of the plurality of sensing channels and being located outside an area of the TSP display; distinguishing between a first touch input via the TSP display and a second touch input via the touch key sensor, in response touch detection scanning of the plurality of sensing channels; and identifying the distinguished first touch input and second touch input. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
