Abstract

A method and apparatus for associating components within a touch monitor (150) comprising a monitor (154) and a touchscreen (158) which are interconnected with one another. A first data value is stored in a memory (168) interconnected with the monitor (154), and a second data value is stored in a memory (180) which is interconnected with the touchscreen (158). The first and second data values are used to identify a unique relationship between the monitor (154) and the touchscreen (158). When the first and second data values are read and compared, it is determined whether the monitor (154) and the touchscreen (158) are associated with one another based on the first and second data values.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to touch monitors, and more particularly to automatically registering and calibrating touch monitors with applications for installation and initialization with applications within a system. Background technique [0002] Touch monitors are provided for more and more applications. Points of sale (POS) and points of information (POI) such as electronic catalogs for processing transactions are common in department stores. Examples include airport passenger and package check-in systems, and kiosks located inside stores that provide information about products and services. These kiosks can also be used to place orders and / or complete shopping without the assistance of a salesperson. In a single system, there are usually multiple touch monitors installed. [0003] A touch monitor has a monitor with a display that displays data to the user. A touch screen is installed in front of the display, and a user selects and / o...
