Abstract
The invention provides an apparatus and method which allows identification of the system which provided images for each pixel of a touchscreen display which displays merged images of arbitrary shapes supplied from a plurality of systems. It further allows routing of user inputs to the appropriate system for further processing. Colour keying may be used to superimpose one image onto another. The invention finds particular application in the automotive field where images produced by an infotainment system may be merged with those produced by a mobile phone onto the in-vehicle display screen.
