Claims13
A method, operable in a processor, for controlling touch sensitivity in a portable terminal, the method comprising:
- controlling the touch sensitivity of a Touch Screen Panel (TSP) according to an application or function in operation in the processor;
- and
- sensing a touch operation generated in the TSP at the controlled touch sensitivity.
An apparatus for controlling touch sensitivity in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen panel (TSP) for sensing a touch operation generated by a user at a preset touch sensitivity;
- and
- a TSP control unit for controlling the touch sensitivity of the TSP according to application or function in operation.
A portable terminal comprising:
- a touchscreen;
- and
- a processor in communication with a memory, the memory including code, which when accessed by the processor causes the processor to:
- receive an input from the touchscreen;
- determine an application executing in the processor;
- determine an intensity of the received input;
- compare the determined intensity with a sensitivity associated with the determined application executing in the processor;
- and
- accept the input when the determined intensity is comparable to the sensitivity associated with the determined application executing in the processor.
