Abstract
A method for a touch-sensitive display device comprises detecting a position of a stylus touch input relative to a plurality of touch-sensing electrodes, the stylus touch input corresponding to proximity of an active stylus to a display surface. A position of a human hand touch input is detected, corresponding to proximity of a human hand to the display surface. Each of the plurality of touch-sensing electrodes are driven with a first drive signal to communicate data to the active stylus. An electrical grounding condition is detected that interferes with reception of the first drive signal by the active stylus. A hand-proximity-subset of the plurality of touch-sensing electrodes within a threshold distance of the position of the human hand touch input are driven with a second drive signal, different from the first drive signal.
