Abstract: The invention relates to methods and apparatus for performing touch-screen surveys. The surveys comprise a plurality of screen displays each including a survey question and one or more screen buttons by means of which the user signifies an answer to the survey question by touching the screen button. A method of quarantining responses to a touch screen survey comprises defining a set of criteria for identifying if a response is likely to be a serious response or a nuisance response. The method includes monitoring the screen touches to determine the number of survey questions answered and the time intervals between screen touches. The monitored screen touches are compared with the defined criteria to categorize the response as a likely nuisance response or a likely serious response. The response is quarantined if it is categorized as a likely nuisance response.

Abstract: Display enhancement improves performance of constrained display devices such as electrophoretic displays (EPDs). With display enhancement, a display controller rapidly writes area updates to the display, while a union of the area updates is maintained. Area updates which the display controller cannot present are discarded, while the union provides a representation of what area on the screen has been affected. A repair operation takes place which generates an area update encompassing the areas which may have been affected.
