摘要： A keyboard is provided that includes an arrangement of keys, circuitry and a first processor configured to generate a signal in response to a keystroke in which a respective key of the arrangement of keys is depressed, and determine how to interpret the keystroke. The keyboard also includes one or more sensors and a second processor configured to measure a relationship of an object to the sensor(s), and produce a gesture signal based upon a signal representative of the measured relationship. This gesture signal is interpretable into one or more commands or instructions for directing performance of one or more operations of an apparatus or software operating on the apparatus. A related apparatus and computer-readable storage medium are also provided.

摘要： A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the manipulation of medical images. In the context of a method, the position of a user's hand upon a touch sensitive input device may be determined. Determining the position may include detecting instances in which the user's hand is in either a first or second positions upon the touch sensitive input device. In the first position, the method may also include enabling a first image manipulation mode in which a first image manipulation operation is enabled and interpreting a first type of input to be directing the first image manipulation operation. However, in the second position, the method may include enabling a second image manipulation mode in which a second image manipulation operation is enabled and interpreting the first type of input to be directing the second image manipulation operation instead of the first image manipulation operation.

摘要： An apparatus is provided that includes a processor configured to receive data representative of points on a touch-sensitive surface with which an object comes into contact. The touch-sensitive surface is divided into a plurality of regions each of a number of which is associated with a distinct set of one or more of the plurality of gestures. The gestures are associated with respective functions of a software application operable by the apparatus. The points on the touch-sensitive surface are located within one of the regions and correspond to one of the gestures. The processor is configured to determine the region and a gesture corresponding to the points as a function of the data representative of the points and the distinct set of gestures associated with the determined region. And the processor is configured to execute the function of the software application associated with the determined gesture.

摘要： An apparatus is provided that includes a graphic overlay or display for a touch-sensitive surface with which an object comes into contact. The touch-sensitive surface is divided into a plurality of regions each of a number of which is associated with a distinct set of one or more of the plurality of gestures, where the plurality of gestures are associated with a respective plurality of functions of a software application operable by a processor. According to this aspect, the graphic overlay or display visibly depicts the regions and a layout of the regions into which the touch-sensitive surface is divided. The apparatus may further include a touch-feedback interface configured to provide touch feedback indicative of the gesture associated with the respective region within which the touch-feedback interface is disposed.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses are provided for facilitating migration from a first device to a second device while interacting with a healthcare application. In this regard, a method may cooperate with the first device to establish a connection therewith based upon a proximity-based identification technique. Such cooperation may occur while the user is interacting with the healthcare application on the first device. The method may also authenticate the user of the first device based upon information, such as authentication credentials, provided by the first device regarding prior synchronization of the user by the first device. The method may also environmentally synchronize with the first device. In this regard, the method may environmentally synchronize with the first device by providing for interaction with the healthcare application via a processor and by providing a common context with that of the first device including display of a common image.
