Patent number: 11714539Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for resolving a user input. One method involves a user input management service associating a user input with a first application based on an initial location associated with one or more messages of the user input message stream corresponding to a first graphical user interface (GUI) display associated with the first application. Thereafter, in response to identifying an updated location associated with a subsequent message of the message stream corresponding to a second GUI display associated with a second application, the user input management service provides indication of the updated location to the second application to generate a graphical representation of a cursor associated with the user input at the updated location within the second GUI display and provide second indication of the updated location of the user input to the first application to respond to the user input in accordance with the updated location.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Steven Boswell, Sonia Dodd

Patent number: 11714540Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to remote touch detection. In some examples, a first electronic device obtains first image data and second image data about an input, and performs an operation based on the input in accordance with a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met based on the first image data and the second image data. In some examples, a first electronic device causes emission of infrared light by an infrared source of a second electronic device, obtains image data about an input, and performs an operation based on the input in accordance with a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met based on the image data.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Samuel L. Iglesias, Devin W. Chalmers, Rohit Sethi, Lejing Wang

Patent number: 11714541Abstract: A touch sensor system includes touch sensors, drive-sense circuits (DSCs), memory, and a processing module. A DSC drives a first signal via a single line coupling to a touch sensor and simultaneously senses, when present, a second signal that is uniquely associated with a user. The DSC processes the first signal and/or the second signal to generate a digital signal that is representative of an electrical characteristic of the touch sensor. The processing module executes operational instructions (stored in the memory) to process the digital signal to detect interaction of the user with the touch sensor and to determine whether the interaction of the user with the touch sensor compares favorably with authorization. When not authorized, the processing module aborts execution of operation(s) associated with the interaction of the user with the touch sensor. Alternatively, when authorized, the processing module facilitates execution of the operation(s).Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: SIGMASENSE, LLC.Inventors: Patrick Troy Gray, Gerald Dale Morrison, Daniel Keith Van Ostrand, Richard Stuart Seger, Jr.

Patent number: 11714542Abstract: A data processing device which includes a flexible position input portion for sensing proximity or a touch of an object such as a user's palm and finger. In the case where a first region of the flexible position input portion is held by a user for a certain period, supply of image signals to the first region is selectively stopped.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shunpei Yamazaki, Hajime Kimura, Hideaki Kuwabara, Koji Dairiki

Patent number: 11714543Abstract: A method of controlling contents displayed on a display includes processing inputs from different users across multiple application windows of one or more applications displayed on a single display of a user interface, resulting in a multi-user graphical user interface (GUI), the computing environment running an operating system (OS), the computing environment having a multiple input detection system to respond to user inputs from different users simultaneously, the multiple input detection system including a touch screen on the single display that detects touch inputs and a contactless gesture sensor that detects contactless gestures. When a user input is detected by the touch detector, the GUI displays a first input interface to be used with touch. When a user input is detected by the contactless gesture sensor, the GUI displays a second input interface to be used with gestures, the second input interface being different from the first input interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: T1V, INC.Inventors: James E. Morris, Michael R. Feldman, Ron Gilson

Patent number: 11714544Abstract: A gesture definition is provided for intuitively interacting with applications on a multi-screen device. The gesture is defined by one or more user motions signaling a user intent to perform an action on an object based on a context within the multi-screen environment. Unlike traditional gestures, the defined gesture is “context aware.” That is, the gesture may initiate different actions in different contexts. Actions responsive to the gesture include opening an application, sharing data between applications (e.g., cut/paste), and/or attaching files (e.g., to a mail message). App developers can define custom actions responsive to the gesture for particular applications. Avoiding cumbersome, multi-step user inputs and interactions, the actions defined for the gesture may be performed automatically.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kartik Datwani, Bhaumik Kalpesh Kaji, Shashi Kant
