Abstract
The disclosure relates to a touch sensitive system comprising a touch sensitive panel defining a touch surface, a plurality of emitters configured to emit light into the panel for propagation in the panel, a plurality of detectors configured to detect the light propagating in the panel, a plurality of distributed control devices each configured to control operation of a segment of emitters and detectors, a main control unit configured to control the distributed control devices. The touch sensitive system is configured to be set in a partial detect mode in which mode a first of the distributed control devices is configured to be active and to control a first emitter to emit light in a partial region of the panel coincident with a partial area of the touch surface. The touch sensitive system is further configured to detect a predetermined gesture on the partial area of the touch surface, generate a gesture signal indicating the predetermined gesture, and activate a feature of the touch sensitive system in accordance with the predetermined gesture. The disclosure also relates to a method in connection with the touch sensitive system.
