Patent number: 10203796Abstract: Touch events can be predicted relative to a visual display by maintaining a database of aggregated touch event history data relative to the visual display and from a plurality of touch screen devices. The database can be queried according to a set of input parameters defining an environment for use of the visual display. The results from the querying of the database can be analyzed to predict a set of touch events within the environment and based upon inferences obtained from the results. A representation of the set of touch events can be displayed along with the visual display.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Trudy L. Hewitt, Debra J. McKinney, Christina L. Wetli
