Systems And Methods For Virtual Periphery Interaction

An information handling system, comprising:

• at least one host processing device configured to produce video pixel data;
• a touchscreen display having an interactive user interface area configured to display images based on video display data and to produce touch input signals corresponding to areas of the interactive user interface that are touched by a user;
• and
• at least one second processing device coupled between the host processing device and the touchscreen display and configured to receive the video pixel data from the host processing device and to receive the touch input signals from the interactive user interface area of the touchscreen display, the second processing device being further configured to provide video display data to the touchscreen display that is based on the video pixel data received from the host processing device and to provide touch input data to the host processing device that is based on the touch input signals received from the touch screen;
• where the second processing device is configured to:
• segregate the interactive user interface area of the touchscreen display into at least one active user interface area and at least one separate virtual bezel area,
• receive touch input signals from the active user interface area and provide touch input data to the host processing device corresponding to touch input signals received from the touchscreen display that are representative of touched areas of the active user interface area, and
• receive touch input signals from the virtual bezel area and block touch input data to the host processing device corresponding to touch input signals received from the touchscreen display that are representative of touched areas of the virtual bezel area.
