Patent number: 9256304Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer program products configured to provide intelligent filtering techniques to reduce errant device inputs are described. For example, filtering out the data input from a touch pad while typing on the keyboard or operating with a pointing stick, even if the touch pad is sensing contact, is augmented by continuing to filter data from the touch pad until the contact on the touch pad ends.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Aaron Michael Stewart, Masaki Matsubara, Hidetoshi Mori

Patent number: 8570280Abstract: An approach is provided that filters out inadvertent contact with a touch pad input device. A filter area is defined within a surface of a touch pad input device that is accessible from an information handling system, such as a computer system. When a user of the information handling system contacts the surface of the touch pad, an input stream is received. The input stream includes an origination point where contact was initially made by the user. If the origination point is within the defined filter area, then the input stream is filtered out (not processed). On the other hand, if the origination point is outside of the defined filter area, then the input stream is processed by the information handling system.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2009Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Aaron Michael Stewart, Masaki Matsubara, Hidetoshi Mori

Publication number: 20130132885Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein that generally involve allowing movement of windows or other user interface objects back and forth between a touch screen display and a non-touch display using only touch inputs. In one embodiment, a “send” touch gesture performed on a window displayed on the touch screen display causes automatic movement of the window to the non-touch display. A tab corresponding to the moved window is then displayed on the touch screen display. The tab can be used to interact with the window using touch inputs, even though the window has been moved to a non-touch display. For example, a “retrieve” touch gesture can be performed on the tab to move the window back to the touch screen display, or a “select” touch gesture can be performed on the tab to bring the moved window to the front and give the moved window focus.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2011Publication date: May 23, 2013Applicant: LENOVO (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD.Inventors: Derek L. Maynard, Hidetoshi Mori, Masaki Matsubara

Patent number: 8174547Abstract: A tablet PC capable of providing continuous utilization of a sound signal collected from a microphone without requiring any user intervention when a use mode thereof has been changed from a PC use mode to a tablet use mode is disclosed. The tablet PC includes a set of microphones to form a microphone array. The tablet PC is able to operate in a sound emphasis mode wherein sound signals collected from the microphones are processed while forming an emphasis space, and to operate in a non-processing mode wherein the sound signals are processed without forming the emphasis space. When a user manipulates a chassis orientation of the tablet PC from a PC use mode to a tablet use mode, the tablet PC operates to process the emphasis space so that the sound signals collected by the microphones can be utilized in the tablet use mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2009Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Masaharu Yoneda, Hironari Nishino, Hidetoshi Mori

Publication number: 20100277419Abstract: A computer system displays an object on a touch surface and detects multiple touch points on the touch surface in proximity to the displayed object. Next, the computer system detects one or more touch point movements originating from one or more of the plurality of touch points and determines a type of sector in which each of the touch point movements enters. In turn, when one of the touch point movements enters a rotate sector, the computer system performs a rotate command on the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2009Publication date: November 4, 2010Inventors: Harriss Christopher Neil Ganey, Masaki Matsubara, Hidetoshi Mori, Aaron Michael Stewart
