Systems and methods for resolving touch and pen conflicts between multiple touch controllers coupled to a common touchscreen display

An information handling system, comprising:

• a touch screen display device comprising at least first and second segments disposed in side-by-side relationship to each other with a boundary defined therebetween;
• a first analog to digital converter (ADC) coupled to the touch screen display device and receiving first analog signals corresponding to a user touch from the first segment and converting the first analog signals to respective first digital data that includes information identifying a current particular touched location on the first segment;
• and
• a second ADC coupled to the touch screen display device and receiving second analog signals corresponding to a user touch from the second segment and converting the second analog signals to respective second digital data that includes information identifying a current particular touched location on the second segment;
• where the first ADC and second ADC are coupled together, the first ADC providing to the second ADC a portion of the first digital data corresponding to a defined margin area of the first segment adjacent to the boundary between the first and second segments, and the second ADC providing to the first ADC a portion of the second digital data corresponding to a defined margin area of the second segment adjacent to the boundary between the second and second segments;
• where the information handling system further comprises at least one first programmable integrated circuit coupled to the first ADC and at least one second programmable integrated circuit coupled to the second ADC, the first ADC providing the first digital data combined with the provided portion of the second digital data to the at least one first programmable integrated circuit of the information handing system, and the second ADC providing the second digital data combined with the provided portion of the first digital data to the at least one second programmable integrated circuit of the information handling system;
• and
• where the information handling system further comprises at least one third programmable integrated circuit programmed to receive the first digital data that is combined with the provided portion of the second digital data and to receive the second digital data that is combined with the provided portion of the first digital data, and to form total combined digital data by combining the received first digital data that is combined with the provided portion of the second digital data with the received second digital data that is combined with the provided portion of the first digital data.
