  • Publication number: 20200409548
    Abstract: This invention is a What you touch is what you get interface WYTIWYG which is a new touch interface not relying on the appearance of a touch-sensitive display screen, and therefore has capacity to be backward compatible with an existing operating system EOS which is a WYSIWYG interface, and yet be able to fully operate every operation of the EOS by a touch different to the EOS. The EOS, including one of the latest version of iOS, Android and Windows, is a What you see is what you get interface WYSIWYG. The EOS relies on at least displaying two or more different appearances of graphical display element GDE on an appearance of a background screen, e.g. the internet icon and the phone icon on the background screen of the desktop.

  • Publication number: 20170322722
    Abstract: If skilled people saw FIG. 1A, they would say it was a touch device (iTouch) in prior art sleep mode, which meant nothing could happen if you touched the screen, and saves power by a turned off touch-sensitive screen. They would be completely wrong, as it shows an i Touch operating by independent touch IT e.g. a user can unlock and turn on the display by performing the swipe 2 (FIG. 1A) independent to a turned off display screen without pressing the button 1, which is impossible for the prior art. IT's unknown beneficial superior properties are an instant, simplest, easier to use, more reliable, pressure independent, more power conserving operation, with less digit movement, and safer overall, with an aesthetic beauty requiring no ugly external buttons, improving the user's mental recall and decisiveness; and has beauty, ergonomic simplicity, and increased capacity, improving any performance of an operation or task in the prior art.

  • Publication number: 20160246451
    Abstract: A GUI interface, a method of programming a GUI interface, and an apparatus which enables functions of controls in the GUI to be activated by a movement to a control and then another subsequent movement related to that control. It may be defined more precisely below, A GUI in which, when a pointer 0 is immediately adjacent or passes over a control area 1, a procedure is initiated whereby subsequent movement of the pointer over a predetermined path area 3 generates a ‘click’ event which simulates direct clicking of the control 1 and moving outside the predetermined path area 3 prior to completion of the path 3 resets the control to as if the pointer has never started along the predetermined path area 3.

It may be defined more precisely below. A GUI in which, when a pointer 0 is immediately adjacent or passes over a control area 1, a procedure is initiated whereby subsequent movement of the pointer over a predetermined path area 3 generates a “click” event which simulates direct clicking of the control 1 and moving outside the predetermined path area 3 prior to completion of the path 3 resets the control to as if the pointer has never started along the predetermined path area 3.
