Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for user interface deployment that include a server with a cloud application and a client device with a client application. The cloud application is a fully functional application, such as a headless application, and transmits scene graph data including presentation data and behavior data for a first set of user interface elements viewable at the client device in a first operational state. The client application locally renders the first set of user interface elements on a client device display to locally render the portion of the scene graph related to the first operational state. In response to a user input, the client application transmits event or state data to the cloud application and may perform an action associated with the user input while awaiting receipt of updated scene graph data, possibly related to a subsequent operational state, reducing or eliminating the perception of latency.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing multi-touch human to computing device interface capability on devices having single-touch interface devices. The apparatus and method use heuristics based analysis of successive touch point X,Y coordinate pairs provided by the single-touch interface device to identify a multi-touch occurrence. A further heuristics based function is employed to derive X,Y coordinates for a second touch point from two successive pairs of X,Y coordinates provided by single-touch interface device.
