Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining a touch position from data received from a touch panel. In one implementation, an apparatus for processing a touch input signal includes a processor that may be configured for parallel processing, a touch device, a memory, operably connected to the processor, and configured to store processor instructions. The processor instructions can configure the processor to receive a plurality of data points corresponding to a plurality of touch events on the touch device, determine a center of mass estimate from the plurality of data points, determine a search radius of center of mass estimate, and determine an optimal touch point position based on the center of mass estimate and the search radius using the processor.

Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for scan control for scanning a touch panel. The scan control system can alternate adaptively between scanning the touch panel in a passive scan mode requiring minimal power and in a focused active scan mode that sequentially scans only a portion of the touch panel. The scan control system can monitor the absolute capacitance of some or all of the sensors of the touch panel in passive scan mode and can monitor the mutual capacitance of a portion of the touch panel in focused active scan mode. If the absolute capacitance of any sensor is greater than the baseline capacitance, then the scan control can use this absolute capacitance touch data to determine one or more sub-regions of the touch panel for scanning in focused active scan mode. The mutual capacitance touch data can be used for determining features of the touch event.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for implementing a virtual mouse. In one embodiment, the functions implemented include activating the virtual mouse, determining a location of a cursor icon associated with the virtual mouse, and deactivating the virtual mouse. In various embodiments, the position of virtual mouse is determined by a processor based upon an orientation or position of a finger touching a touchscreen and a measured or calculated pressure applied by the finger to the touchscreen.

Abstract: A method for processing an image is described. Mask bits are determined for a current pixel. The mask bits indicate intensity comparisons between the current pixel and multiple neighboring pixels. The mask bits also indicate whether each of the current pixel's neighboring pixels have been processed. A next pixel is selected for processing based on the mask bits.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a processor of the mobile computing device may receive an input for performing a function with respect to content at the mobile device in which the content at the mobile device is segmented into at least a first command layer having one or more objects and a second command layer having one or more objects. The processor may determine whether the received input is associated with a first object of the first command layer or a second object of the second command layer. The processor may determine a function to be performed on one of the first or second objects based on whether the first command layer or the second command layer is determined to be associated with the received input, and the processor may perform the determined function on the first object or the second object.
