  • Patent number: 9354804
    Abstract: Systems and methods for anticipation of touch events in a computing device are provided. The computing device may include a multi-touch sensitive display including a sensor configured to sense a position and/or movement of a hand. A graphical user interface (GUI) may be displayed, having a state including a plurality of possible touch inputs. The computing device may further include a touch event prediction module configured to compute one or more anticipated touch inputs based on the sensed hand position and/or movement, and the state of the GUI with the plurality of possible user inputs. The computing device may further include a preprocessing module configured to preprocess data for each anticipated touch input, and upon the detection of an actual touch input received from the user that matches one of the anticipated touch inputs, displaying the preprocessed data for the actual touch input on the GUI.
