  • Publication number: 20160291763
    Abstract: A method, device, and/or computer program product operates a touch-screen device. One or more processors detect a first moving touch on a touch-screen, where the touch-screen is able to detect a presence of the first moving touch but is not able to detect an amount of pressure being applied by the first moving touch. The processor(s) detect a simultaneous second moving touch on the touch-screen, and detect a line being drawn on the touch-screen by the first moving touch. The processor(s) calculate a calculated pressure for the first moving touch based on a distance on the touch-screen between the first moving touch and the second moving touch while the line is being drawn on the touch-screen by the first moving touch, and then adjust a thickness of the line being drawn on the touch-screen by the calculated pressure for the first moving touch.

  • Publication number: 20140232670
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product operate a touch-screen device. A first touch on a touch-screen is detected, and a character is selected therefrom. A second touch on the touch-screen is detected, and a diacritic is selected therefrom. A location of the second touch on the touch-screen is determined. A location for the diacritic is selected according to a determined location of the second touch on the touch-screen. A specific touch-screen output of a selected character and a selected diacritic is then generated, where the selected diacritic is located on the selected character according to a selected diacritic location.

  • Publication number: 20140210742
    Abstract: A method, device, and/or computer program product operates a touch-screen device. A first touch at a location on a touch-screen is detected. A second touch on the touch-screen, which occurs simultaneously with the first touch on the touch-screen, is detected. A pressure of the detected second touch is calculated and assigned to the detected first touch. A specific touch-screen output is generated according to the location and assigned calculated pressure of the detected first touch.
