  • Publication number: 20240184591
    Abstract: A host system includes a device driver with application-specific settings for a hosted application. Input data is generated by one or more tablet devices at a client computer system. A host-side data transfer application receives the input data and forwards it to the host-side driver, which sends the input data to the hosted application. The tablet data sent to the hosted application is configured according to application-specific settings of the host-side driver, which may support multiple application programming interfaces. A dedicated driver-to-driver connection may also be used to transmit data between client-side and host-side drivers. In another aspect, a host sends an identifier of a hosted application currently in use to a client-side driver, which uses that identifier to look up and apply application-specific settings to tablet data sent to the hosted application. This can eliminate the need for a host-side driver while still allowing application-specific settings for hosted applications.

  • Patent number: 11625117
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining sensor coordinates corresponding to positions on a sensor pointed to by an electronic pen, and values determined based signals received from the electronic pen; mapping, using a first mapping method, a first set of the sensor coordinates to first display screen coordinates; determining that a first one of the values is greater than or equal to a first threshold value; determining that a second one of the values is less than or equal to a second threshold value, after determining that the first one of the values is greater than or equal to the first threshold value; and in response to determining that the second one of the values is less than or equal to the second threshold value, mapping, using a second mapping method, a second set of the sensor coordinates to a second display screen coordinates.

  • Patent number: 11150758
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining sensor coordinates and pressure values corresponding to the sensor coordinates; mapping, using a first mapping method, a first set of the sensor coordinates to first display screen coordinates; determining that a first one of the pressure values is greater than or equal to a threshold pressure value; determining that a second one of the pressure values is less than the threshold pressure value, after determining that the first one of the pressure values is greater than or equal to the threshold pressure value; in response to the determining that the second one of the pressure values is less than the threshold pressure value, mapping, using a second mapping method, a second set of the sensor coordinates to second display screen coordinates; and outputting the first display screen coordinates and the second display screen coordinates. Accordingly, an operator can easily switch the mapping to the second method.

  • Patent number: 10976867
    Abstract: A method of generating pen data includes periodically sampling an interaction of a pen on a sensor surface in which a detected pen tip pressure is greater than zero. Pen data including detected pen positions are reported. In response to a pen up event in which the detected pen tip pressure is zero, an intended end-of-stroke position of the pen tip is predicted based on a detected pen tip position occurring at least two, three, or more samples earlier than the sample at the pen up event. The predicted intended end-of-stroke position is reported in (1) the pen data for the sample at the pen up event, in place of the actual pen tip position detected at the pen up event, or in (2) the pen data for one or more samples preceding the pen up event, in place of the actual pen tip position in the one or more samples preceding the pen up event.
