摘要:
A direct touch-sensitive input device includes a display surface configured to display images on a front of the display surface, and a direct touch-sensitive surface mounted on a back of the display surface. The display surface and the direct touch-sensitive surface are geometrically coincident. The device can also include a touch-sensitive surface mounted on the front of the device.

The invention provides a method and system for adapting a single-user, single-client application for multiple clients operated by multiple users. An instance of an unmodified single-client, single-user application is executed in each of the clients, and the execution of the multiple instances of the application is coordinated by a wrapper application executing in each of the clients. The wrapper application is configured to communicate messages between the clients via a network to facilitate the coordination.

Braille symbols are automatically read aloud, to aid in learning or using Braille. More generally, a tile which bears a tactile symbol and a corresponding visual symbol is placed in a sensing area, automatically distinguished from other tiles, and vocalized. The tile is sensed and distinguished from other tiles based on various signal mechanisms, or by computer vision analysis of the tile's visual symbol. Metadata is associated with the tile. Additional placed tiles are similarly sensed, identified, and vocalized. When multiple tiles are placed in the sensing area, they are vocalized individually, and an audible phrase spelled by their arrangement of tactile symbols is also produced. A lattice is provided with locations for receiving tiles. Metadata are associated with lattice locations. Tile placement is used to control an application program which responds to tile identifications.

The provision of visual responses to touch inputs is disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a computing device comprising a touch-sensitive display, a processor in operative communication with the touch-sensitive display, and memory comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to detect a touch input made via the touch-sensitive display, display on the touch-sensitive display a first visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch input was detected by the computing device, and if the touch input is made in a touch-interactive area on the touch-sensitive display, then to display a second visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch was made in the touch-interactive area of the display.

An interactive display system with a contact geometry interface is disclosed. The interactive display system may include a multi-touch display, a touch detection system configured to detect a touch input on the multi-touch display and to generate contact geometry for a contact region of the touch input, and an application programming interface executed on a processor of the interactive display system. The application programming interface may be configured to receive the contact geometry and to send the contact geometry to a requesting application program for application-level processing. Further, the application programming interface may be configured to receive from the application program a display command based on the application level-processing. The application programming interface may be configured to send the display command to the multi-touch display to adjust a display of a graphical element on the multi-touch display.

摘要:
A system and method for entering data on a portable device includes determining a tilt state (tilt sensor 304) as a button (keypad 306) is being pressed. The determined tilt state can be used to disambiguate from among a plurality of characters associated with the pressed button. In a preferred embodiment, the portable device is a mobile phone and the button is part of a standard 12-button keypad.
摘要:
A technology is described for interfacing with a computing application using a multi-digit sensor. A method may include obtaining an initial stroke using a single digit of a user on the multi-digit sensor. A direction change point for the initial stroke can be identified. At the direction change point for the initial stroke, a number of additional digits can be presented by the user to the multi-digit sensor. Then a completion stroke can be identified as being made with the number of additional digits. A user interface signal to can be sent to the computing application based on the number of additional digits used in the completion touch stroke. In another configuration of the technology, the touch stroke or gesture may include a single stroke where user interface items can be selected when additional digits are presented at the end of a gesture.
