  • Patent number: 10025427
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed that relate to adjusting touch inputs on a computing device. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method of operating a touch-sensitive display of a computing device comprising displaying a graphical user interface on the touch-sensitive display, receiving a touch input via a touch sensor of the touch-sensitive display at a sensed location, performing a probabilistic determination of an intended touch location based on the input, and displaying a response to the input at an adjusted location on the graphical user interface that is adjusted relative to the sensed location based upon the probabilistic determination.

  • Publication number: 20160077345
    Abstract: A monocular display device of a head mounted monocular display is adjustably positioned in front of a display eye of a user. The monocular display device displays information in a first field of view of the display eye. An occluding device is adjustably positioned in front of a non-display eye of the user. The occluding device blocks a second field of view of the non-display eye, the blocking being regulated to block at least a part of the second field of view that corresponds to the first field of view containing the displayed information.

  • Publication number: 20080291169
    Abstract: A multimodal electronic device (100) includes a shutter enabled dynamic keypad for presenting one of a plurality of keypad configurations to a user. Each keypad configuration, which is presented by an optical shutter (204) that opens or closes windows or shutters that are geometrically configured as alphanumeric or device keys or symbols. Each keypad configuration comprises a plurality of mode based actuators, wherein the plurality of mode based actuators comprises at least a ten-digit keypad actuator set (2000) and a curved scroll device (1903). The optical shutter (204) is a low-resolution display that presents user actuation targets to a user in a low-resolution key area. As each mode of the device changes, the corresponding keypad configuration presented changes accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20070281742
    Abstract: A device (300) having a user interface (303) is provided with an automatic discretionary capability of determining use of a wireless message. The wireless message may contain user interface preference information that is initially sourced by an end user platform. The device uses the automatic discretionary capability to determine whether and to what extent to use the user interface preference information to influence control of the user interface (303). The device (300) may contain a wireless receiver (302) for receiving the wireless messages with a memory (304) for storing the user interface preference information therein. Also provided in the device (300) is a processor (301) which provides and uses the automatic discretionary capability to determine to what extent to use the user interface preference information to influence control of the user interface (303). The automatic discretionary capability of the device (300) may override, accept, or weight the user interface preference information.
