Abstract: A method of predicting the behaviour of one or more objects on a touch surface of a touch-sensitive apparatus comprises outputting an object position value of a first time series describing a position of the one or more objects on the touch surface. The method further comprises outputting an object position value of a second time series describing a position of the one or more objects on the touch surface. The object position value of the second time series is outputted before the corresponding object position value of the first time series. The method yet further comprises predicting the behaviour of the one or more objects based at least on the object position values of the second time series.

Abstract: A system is provided for processing touch data. The system comprises an operating system having a user interface and being configured to process touch data according to a first protocol and a software application running on the operating system. The software application provides an interaction area on the user interface and being configured to process touch data according to a second protocol. A touch controller is configured to send a first touch data corresponding to a touch event to the operating system via a first channel and a second touch data corresponding to the touch event to the software application via a second channel. Where the first touch data corresponds to the interaction area on the user interface, the operating system communicates the first touch data to the software application.
