Abstract
A hybrid touch screen device applied to an electric device. The hybrid touch screen device preferably includes a touch panel, a pen touch panel, a display panel, and at least one processor. The touch panel detects an input event by a direct touch. The pen touch panel detects a touch pen input and an input event from an entry into a predetermined detection distance before a touch. The display panel displays a screen according to the touch panel, the pen touch panel, and a user operation. The processor also performs control to execute a relevant function according to an input event inputted to the touch panel and the pen touch panel. The processor also performs control so that an input event of the touch pen and an input event of the touch panel are detected independently of each other.
