Patent number: 10845987Abstract: Exemplified herein is a system and method to accept password on a touch-screen HMI (human-machine interface) device. The system and method uses a combination of tactile gestures that are each received at predefined quadrants (or regions) or the touch-screen. The combination of such tactile gestures and quadrant information are used as a shortcut sequence to a user-interface (UI) function call, e.g., change zoom parameter of a presented screen of the display, navigate to a next presented screen, navigate to a previous presented screen.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2016Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: INTELLIGENT PLATFORMS, LLCInventors: Pavan Kumar Singh Thakur, Jagadeesh Jinka, Chaithanya Guttikonda, Pawan Kumar
