Patent number: 10891548Abstract: In an approach to predicting user touch events, one or more computer processors receive a detected electromagnetic noise signal of an object. The one or more computer processors compare the detected electromagnetic noise signal of the object to one or more stored electromagnetic noise signals associated with one or more objects. Based, at least in part, on the comparison, the one or more computer processors determine the identity of the object. Responsive to determining the identity of the object, the one or more computer processors store metadata associated with at least one of the objects and an electromagnetic noise signal detection event. The one or more computer processors determine whether an amount of the metadata associated with the object meets a learning threshold. If the amount of metadata meets the learning threshold, the one or more computer processors predict a subsequent electromagnetic noise signal detection event associated with the object.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2016Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Darryl M. Adderly, Rosanna S. Mannan, Kevin L. Schultz

Patent number: 10795573Abstract: An apparatus includes a touchscreen having an input area and a processor. The apparatus also includes a memory that stores program code. The program code is executable by the processor to determine a location within the input area. The location corresponds to a position of at least a portion of an object relative to the input area. Further, the program code is executable by the processor to generate an output associated with an indication to move the object toward a region of the input area. The output is based on a comparison of the position of the object to the region. The region corresponds to a key of a keyboard.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2016Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bruce J.

Patent number: 10346038Abstract: A first touch gesture is sensed at a subset of a set of six Braille dot touch points at a virtual Braille keyboard. The first touch gesture corresponds to a Braille character. A second touch gesture is sensed that concurrently touches each of the six Braille dot touch points in the set of Braille dot touch points. A contact with a layout of the virtual Braille keyboard with at least one Braille dot touch point is continuously maintained while transitioning from the first touch gesture to the second touch gesture. In response to the second touch gesture, the Braille character is accepted.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Laurence E.
