Abstract
A mobile touch-generating device having logic and a touch-generating system. The touch-generating system includes one or more touch-generating elements. The touch-generating system is operatively coupled to the logic to generate touch events via the one or more touch-generating elements, the touch events detectable by a touchscreen, such as, a capacitive sensing touchscreen. Also provided are: (i) a method of bidirectional communication between a mobile touch-generating device and a touchscreen device; and (ii) a computer readable non-transitory medium containing a computer program which, when executed, causes a computer to execute the steps of the above method.
