This relates to an event sensing device that includes an event sensing panel and is able to dynamically change the granularity of the panel according to present needs. Thus, the granularity of the panel can differ at different times of operation. Furthermore, the granularity of specific areas of the panel can also be dynamically changed, so that different areas feature different granularities at a given time. This also relates to panels that feature different inherent granularities in different portions thereof. These panels can be designed, for example, by placing more stimulus and / or data lines in different portions of the panel, thus ensuring different densities of pixels in the different portions. Optionally, these embodiments can also include the dynamic granularity changing features noted above.

Besides, said undo-log blocks are transmitted to N journals ji for storing redundant undo-log information, with N>1 and i=0, . . . , N−1. According to the present invention for each journal ji journal-specific timestamps tk / i are generated, so that each journal ji is written for a different set of timestamps tk / i.
