Abstract
A computing device has a digitizer control module configured to monitor signals received by receive electrodes and to detect in the monitored signals a signal from a second touch display of a second computing device in physical proximity to the computing device. The digitizer control module is configured to determine one or more locations on the first touch display at which the signals from the second touch display are received. A processor in the computing device is configured to compute a relative position of the second touch display with respect to the first touch display on the basis of the determined locations, and to use the computed relative position to treat the first touch display and the second touch display as a combined touch display.
