Publication number: 20220391078Abstract: Examples are related to operating a user interface of a dual-screen computing device. One example provides a computing device, comprising a first portion comprising a first display and a first touch sensor, and a second portion comprising a second display and a second touch sensor, the second portion connected to the first via a hinge, the hinge defining a seam between the first display and the second display. The computing device is configured to receive a touch input at the first display moving an application that is currently displayed on the first display and not on the second display toward the second display, detect the touch input releasing the application within a predetermined area, and span the application across the first display and the second display.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eduardo SONNINO, Scott D.

Patent number: 10372412Abstract: Embodiments relate to enabling force-based interactions with an intelligent personal assistant (IPA). A computing device capable of sensing the force exerted to input touch inputs is configured with a pressure-based filter that checks pressures of touch inputs to determine which touch inputs are to be diverted to the IPA or which are to be passed on to underlying user interface that is not related to the IPA. Touch inputs designated for the IPA based on their pressure characteristics can become part of the context of the IPA. Some IPA uses of the touch inputs include selecting graphic objects on the display, resolving exophoric phrases (e.g., “that”, “those”) as referring to such selected graphic objects, displaying transient user interface to provide information about (or actions for) the selected object, incorporating a selected object into the current context of the IPA, etc.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christian Klein, Callil R.

Publication number: 20180121000Abstract: Embodiments relate to using pressure of user inputs to select user interfaces and user interaction models. A computing device handling touch inputs that include respective pressure measures evaluate the pressure measures to determine how the touch inputs are to be handled. In this way, a user can use pressure to control how touch inputs are to be handled. In scenarios where multiple user interfaces or displays managed by a same operating system are both capable of being targeted by touch input from a same input device, user-controlled pressure can determine which display or user interface touch inputs will be associated with. Touch inputs can be directed, based on pressure, by modifying their event types, passing them to particular responder chains or points on responder chains, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2016Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventors: Christian Klein, Christopher M.
