Publication number: 20240094901Abstract: Examples are disclosed relating to computing devices and methods for performing touch detection within a virtual trackpad area of a touch screen display. In one example, a non-trackpad touch input signal is received from outside the virtual trackpad area and processed with at least a jitter restrictor algorithm that applies a non-trackpad distance between reported touch locations. A virtual trackpad touch input signal is received from within the virtual trackpad area. On condition of determining that the virtual trackpad touch input signal is received from within the virtual trackpad area, the virtual trackpad touch input signal is processed with the jitter restrictor algorithm that applies a virtual trackpad distance between reported touch locations that is smaller than the non-trackpad distance between reported touch locations.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Matan SLASSI, Dmitry BIRENBERG, Gilad PUNDAK, Nadav LINENBERG, Andrew Pyon MITTEREDER

Patent number: 11880565Abstract: Examples are disclosed relating to computing devices and methods for performing touch detection within a virtual trackpad area of a touch screen display. In one example, a non-trackpad touch input signal is received from outside the virtual trackpad area and processed with at least one touch detection algorithm applying a non-trackpad threshold value. A virtual trackpad touch input signal is determined to be received from within the virtual trackpad area. On condition of determining that the virtual trackpad touch input signal is received from within the virtual trackpad area, the virtual trackpad touch input signal is processed with the touch detection algorithm applying a virtual trackpad threshold value different from the non-trackpad threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Matan Slassi, Dmitry Birenberg, Gilad Pundak, Nadav Linenberg, Andrew Pyon Mittereder

Publication number: 20230394157Abstract: The disclosure herein describes initializing an embedded system device to send compressed log messages and receiving compressed log messages from the embedded system device. As part of the initialization process, a logger descriptor is requested from the embedded system device via a service interface of the Operating System (OS). The logger descriptor is received from the embedded system device. A logger filter associated with the embedded system device is generated using the logger descriptor and the logger filter is sent to the embedded system device. Then, after initialization of the embedded system device, a compressed log message is received from the embedded system device, wherein the compressed log message is compressed based at least in part on the logger filter. The compressed log message is converted into a readable log message based at least in part on the logger descriptor and the readable log message is inserted into a log associated with the OS.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Nadav Shlomo BEN-AMRAM, Dmitry BIRENBERG, Matan SLASSI

Patent number: 11036267Abstract: In the event of a TDM failure, the associated computing device is either discarded or sent back to an original equipment manufacturer's facility for refurbishment. Field replacement of TDMs is typically not possible due to the lack of a secure process to recalibrate the touch controller to function properly with a replacement TDM. The presently disclosed systems and methods enable secure recalibration of a touch controller within a computing device to operate correctly with a new TDM field installed in the computing device. More specifically, the presently disclosed systems and methods provide a mechanism for detecting that a TDM has been field replaced, unlocking calibration data, performing a calibration process, and locking the new calibration data.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Srilatha Sridharan, John Schock, Kansu Dincer, Dennis Mamati Wavomba, Erng-Sing Wee, Dmitry Birenberg
