Abstract
A method and portable terminal for controlling an operation of a touch panel are provided. The portable terminal includes a memory for storing at least one program for supporting a user function operated based on a certain frequency upon activation of the user function, a touch panel, activated when the user function is supported, for supporting a touch function, and a controller for selecting frequency information that does not interfere with the certain frequency for operating the corresponding user function when the at least one user function is activated, and for setting the selected frequency information as a scanning frequency of the touch panel.
Claims15
A method for controlling an operation of a touch panel, the method comprising:
- activating at least one user function provided from a terminal;
- determining whether the at least one activated user function is a user function operated based on a certain frequency;
- selecting frequency information that does not interfere with the certain frequency when the activated user function is the user function operated based on the certain frequency;
- setting the selected frequency information as a scanning frequency of the touch panel;
- and
- operating the touch panel based on the set scanning frequency,
- wherein the selecting of the frequency information comprises:
- acquiring frequency information associated with the user function when determined that a setting value is not stored in a memory and selecting frequency information operable in the touch panel so as not to interfere with the acquired frequency information.
A portable terminal for supporting operation control of a touch panel, the terminal comprising:
- a memory for storing at least one program supporting a user function operated based on a certain frequency upon activation of the user function;
- a touch panel, activated when the user function is supported, for supporting a touch function;
- and
- a controller for selecting frequency information that does not interfere with the certain frequency for operating the corresponding user function when the at least one user function is activated, and for setting the selected frequency information as a scanning frequency of the touch panel,
- wherein the controller acquires frequency information associated with the user function when a setting value is not stored in the memory and selects frequency information operable in the touch panel so as not to interfere with the acquired frequency information to set a scanning frequency of the touch panel.
