Abstract

Low-power touch detection can be beneficial for an electronic device to maintain touch detection and enable response to certain touch inputs in a low-power state (e.g., a sleep state), while consuming less power than touch detection during an awake state. For example, sensing touch during the sleep state can allow the electronic device to wake (e.g., transition from the sleep state to the awake state) in response to detecting a certain touch input (e.g., a tap or other touch input) on its touch screen while in the sleep state. Examples of the disclosure provide various ways for the electronic device to further reduce power consumption in the low-power state by simplifying the processing requirements for touch input to the touch-sensitive surface.
