  • Patent number: 10628029
    Abstract: Particular embodiments receive a plurality of touch events. Each touch event may be associated with at least one position on a touchscreen, and at least a portion of the plurality of touch events are substantially located along a line. Particular embodiments further determine that: (1) the touch events are approaching an edge of the touchscreen, and (2) one or more pressure measurements taken at one or more of the touch input events are less than a minimum pressure threshold. Based on the determinations, particular embodiments anticipate that the touch events will end before they reach the edge of the touchscreen, and based on the anticipating, particular embodiments terminate a series of extrapolated positions before the series of extrapolated positions reach the edge of the touchscreen.

  • Patent number: 9921745
    Abstract: Particular embodiments receive multiple touch events detected by a touchscreen. Each touch event may be associated with at least one position on a touchscreen, and at least a portion of the touch events may be located along a line. Particular embodiments may determine that the touch events are approaching an edge of the touchscreen, and may determine a first extrapolated position based on the determination that the touch events are approaching the edge of the touchscreen. The first extrapolated position may anticipate that one or more future touch events will turn before reaching the edge of the touchscreen. Particular embodiments may also provide display information based on the touch events and the first extrapolated position.

  • Patent number: 9703473
    Abstract: Particular embodiments receive a plurality of touch events detected by a touchscreen. The display refresh rate may not be synchronized with a touch response rate of the touchscreen. Each touch event may be associated with at least one position on the touchscreen. A correlation between the touch events and a display refresh rate of the touchscreen may be determined. At least one position for display output may be extrapolated based on the touch events for the purpose of smoothing the display output. Additional positions for display output may be extrapolated based on the touch events for the purpose of predicting display output. Display information may be provided based on the touch events and the extrapolated positions.

  • Patent number: 7356489
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for reproducing a preceding picture of a user wearing clothes or analog, comprising: a screen (4) to display at least a pre-registered picture of the user; a clothes type detector (8) to automatically identify the kind of clothes currently worn by the user; and a search unit (14) to extract automatically, from at least one central remote database (13), at least one pre-registered picture in which the user wears at least one article of clothing similar to or matchable with the current one.
