Patent number: 11086508Abstract: An electronic device includes a touch-sensitive display screen to display a graphical representation of a mathematical relationship and to enable a user to enter a one-dimensional touch gesture thereon for performing a one-dimensional adjustment function for the displayed graphical representation. A display adjustment module interprets the one-dimensional touch gesture and performs the one-dimensional adjustment function. The display adjustment module performs a one-dimensional zoom adjustment function in response to one of a one-dimensional pinch touch gesture and a one-dimensional spread touch gesture. The one-dimensional zoom adjustment function increases or reduces a displayed range of values in a first dimension while maintaining unchanged a displayed range of values in a second dimension of the displayed graphical representation.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Gregory Thorn Springer, Cyrille de Brebisson, Timothy James Wessman

Patent number: 7453376Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium having instructions for determining a key press from a current keyboard state at a current time is described. The system stores signals indicative of a last key press, a last key press time, and a last keyboard state. The system determines released keys and pressed keys on the keyboard at the current time based on comparison with the last keyboard state. The system determines a key press at the current time if the first determination determines a single key press and if either of: (a) a match exists between the determined key press and the last key pressed and if the elapsed time between the current time and the last key press time is larger than a preset bounce time; and (b) a match does not exist between the determined key press and the last key press.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2004Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Cyrille de Brébisson
