摘要:
A system and method for enabling an entire touchpad surface to mechanically move if sufficient force is used to press on the touchpad to perform a mouse click function, such as a right click or a left click, when the touchpad is mechanically buttonless, such as a forcepad, in order to provide haptic feedback on a touchpad that otherwise has none.
摘要:
A system and method is provided that creates a touch recognition gradient beginning from all outer edges of a touch sensor, and extending inwards towards a designated center area, wherein contact that is nearer an outer edge of the touch sensor is only recognized if it is a relatively small object, and then allowing recognition of progressively larger objects when approaching the center area, thereby rejecting input from a palm or larger area of a finger when contact is made near the outer edge, while accepting larger objects near the center area.
摘要:
A system and method for defining a gesture to be any combination of touch and hover actions, the touch and hover actions being combined in any order and any number of discrete touch and hover actions that define a single gesture or a series of gestures.

摘要:
A method for determining what input should be accepted by a touch sensor after intentional and accidental lift-offs and slide-offs occur when gesturing or performing a function on the touch sensor by a finger or multiple fingers.

摘要:
A method for enabling a touchpad, a relative position device, to operate as if it were a tablet, or absolute position device, so as to provide the same type of input that can be provided by a tablet, wherein a surface of the touchpad is mapped to a surface of the display screen, a finger is detected by the touchpad before it makes contact, the finger may move over the surface of the touchpad causing some visual feedback to occur on the display that indicates the absolute position of the finger as it moves over the touchpad, and making contact with the touchpad to thereby cause selection of an object.

摘要:
A touch-sensitive and far-field or proximity sensitive touchpad combined with a display, wherein the touchpad is formed as a touchstrip that is concealed inside the display, wherein a first function or interface such as a menu is enabled when an actuating device reaches a threshold distance from the touchpad, wherein a second function or interface is enabled when the actuating device makes contact with the touchpad, and wherein the first function may or may not continue after contact is made with the touchpad.
摘要:
A method for using existing touchpad hardware to detect and track multiple objects such as fingers that are in contact with a touchpad, wherein the method extracts information from data that is already being collected, wherein analysis of the data is simplified by identifying objects by only looking for a positive slopes and negative slopes to identify multiple objects in data from the touchpad.
