Abstract

Lower report rates are desirable in touch devices to minimize power consumption. However, lower report rates lead to inaccurate and untimely depiction of a user's touch inputs on a touch display device. Disclosed are methods and apparatus for using a lower report rate; while maintaining substantially the same or better user experience achieved by using a higher report rate.
