Patent number: 11061559Abstract: A technique includes detecting a finger pattern that is associated with a physical interaction of a user with a touch screen of an electronic device. The technique includes acquiring sensory input that is associated with the user other than a characteristic of the physical interaction of the user with the touch screen. The technique includes determining whether the physical interaction is associated with an intent to use the touchscreen for key-based input entry based at least in part on the sensory input and controlling a user interface for the electronic device based at least in part on the detected finger pattern and the determined intent.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2016Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Inventors: Thong Thai, Syed S. Azam, Mike Provencher, Rahul V. Lakdawala

Publication number: 20210049038Abstract: A first processing unit provides a first input. The first processing unit has a first architecture on which a first operating system is run having a first operating environment in which first applications are run. A switching unit selects both the first and a second input in a combined input mode. The second input is provided by a second processing unit having a second architecture in which a second operating system is run having a second operating environment in which second applications are run. A scaler combines the first and second inputs into an orientation comprising a full screen of the first operating environment and a window of the second operating environment, where the window of the second operating environment is overlaid into the full screen of the first operating environment. The scaler transmits the combined first and second inputs to a display unit for display on a screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2020Publication date: February 18, 2021Inventors: Syed S.
