  • Patent number: 10186059
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to representing radio frequency (RF) signals in a visualization using particle bursts. In one scenario, a computer system instantiates RF signal sources in a virtualization, where each RF signal source is configured to emit RF signals. The computer system then generates a stream of particle bursts to represent at least one of the emitted RF signals, and provides a visualization that shows the instantiated RF signal sources along with the generated particle bursts representing the emitted RF signals. In some cases, the visualization may be used to illustrate an anti-access, aerial denial (A2AD) environment. In other cases, the visualization may be used to illustrate network communications using particles, where each particle represents network data packets.

  • Publication number: 20170068440
    Abstract: Touch sensor gesture recognition for operation of mobile devices. An embodiment of a mobile device includes a touch sensor for the detection of gestures, the touch sensor including multiple sensor elements, and a processor, the processor to interpret the gestures detected by the touch sensor, where the mobile device divides the plurality of sensor elements into multiple zones, and the mobile device interprets the gestures based at least in part on which of the zones detects the gesture.

  • Patent number: 9363571
    Abstract: An apparatus may include a processor and a touch sensing device coupled to the processor. The apparatus may further include a force determining module operative on the processor to receive a detection signal from a first portion of the touch sensing device, determine a contact area at the first portion based upon the detection signal, map the first portion to a target operation, and send control instructions to perform the target operation based on the contact area.

  • Publication number: 20140317090
    Abstract: Techniques to preview graphical search results may include determining that information is inside a search field. Search results may be determined based on the information. A set of the search results may be presented as a set of graphical images. The set of graphical images may include a foremost graphical image that is fully visible and one or more rearward graphical images that are shifted so that a portion of a rearward graphical image is visible on a display. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20130321687
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a camera may use novel techniques to calculate proper exposure for a backlit scene, or a scene that otherwise has very high contrast ratios between different parts of the scene. In one embodiment, a touchscreen is used as a viewfinder, and the user may touch the viewfinder to indicate that part of the scene where proper exposure is desired. In another embodiment, a rear-facing exposure meter may use the light levels from the photographer to set the exposure levels for the front facing camera.
