Abstract

In an example, a method of sensing on a touchscreen including a plurality of touch sensors arranged in rows and columns on the touchscreen is described. The method includes detecting a passive touch on the touchscreen and a positon of an active stylus; determining a plurality of locations across the touchscreen corresponding to the passive touch and a positon of the active stylus, where each of the plurality of locations corresponds to a location of one of the plurality of touch sensors. The method includes transmitting a first uplink signal to a first group of the plurality of locations including a first fraction of the plurality of locations; and transmitting a second uplink signal to a second group of the plurality of locations including a second fraction of the plurality of locations, the first uplink signal being different from the second uplink signal.
