  • Devices and methods for processing touch inputs
    Patent number: 10126847
    Abstract: An electronic device, with a touch-sensitive surface and display, displays a user interface at a first display rate. While displaying the user interface, the device detects, at a first detection rate that is greater than the first display rate, movement of a touch input at a sequence of locations on the touch-sensitive surface; and, at each of a sequence of update times, updates the user interface from a respective current state to a respective next state in accordance with a selected subset of the sequence of locations of the touch input. Each selected subset of the sequence of locations includes a plurality of locations of the touch input.

  • Devices and Methods for Processing Touch Inputs
    Publication number: 20160357391
    Abstract: An electronic device, with a touch-sensitive surface and display, displays a user interface at a first display rate. While displaying the user interface in accordance with the first display rate, the device detects movement of a touch input, including detecting the touch input at a first set of sequential locations on the touch-sensitive surface, including a plurality of locations on the touch-sensitive surface, and predicts for the touch input a first set of one or more predicted locations on the touch-sensitive surface based on multiple locations in the first set of sequential locations. The device updates the user interface in accordance with the first set of one or more predicted locations of the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface.
