Abstract: A device comprising a display, a predictive input system coupled to the display and configured to store zone data indicating zones of the display, wherein each zone constitutes a portion of a display area; store predictive parameter data, wherein each zone is assigned a subset of predictive parameter data, wherein each subset indicates at least one of a look-ahead prediction value that indicates a time period corresponding to how far in the future a predictive user input pertains, an indication of a particular prediction algorithm, or at least one value used by the particular prediction algorithm, and wherein at least two zones of the display have different values for the subsets of predictive parameter data; receive input data via the display; determine the zone in which the input data is received; and generate prediction data based on the input data, the zone data, and the subset of predictive parameter data.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium having instructions to receive a touch event originating from a touch panel; compare a timing of the touch event and a timing of a display refresh event; determine whether to adjust a time during which a next scan of the touch panel occurs based on a comparison of the timing of the touch event and the timing of the display refresh event; calculate a time value that indicates when the next scan occurs based on a determination to adjust the time; and adjust the time during which the next scan occurs based on the time value.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium having instructions to receive sensed data based on an input from a user via a display; generate parallel streams of input data based on the sensed data, wherein one or more of the parallel streams of input data comprise one or more input characteristics, wherein the one or more input characteristics comprise one or more of prediction data or smoothing data; and output the parallel streams of input data, wherein the parallel streams of input data are made available to an application with which the user is interacting.
