Patent number: 12175039Abstract: A method includes a processing module obtaining touch data at a touch data rate. The method further includes the processing module obtaining video data at a refresh rate, wherein the touch data rate is greater than the refresh rate. For a frame of the video data, the method further includes the processing module determining a touch movement trend based on the touch data. The method further includes the processing module determining a position offset for a graphical representation of the touch data based on the touch movement trend. When the position offset exceeds an offset threshold, the method further includes the processing module adjusting position of the graphical representation of the touch data within the frame of video data based on the position offset to produce an adjusted frame of video data.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2022Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: SIGMASENSE, LLC.Inventors: Kevin Joseph Derichs, Daniel Keith Van Ostrand, Richard Stuart Seger, Jr.

Patent number: 12175069Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a device with a touch screen display is disclosed. In the method, a movement of an object on or near the touch screen display is detected. In response to detecting the movement, an electronic document displayed on the touch screen display is translated in a first direction. If an edge of the electronic document is reached while translating the electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display, an area beyond the edge of the document is displayed. After the object is no longer detected on or near the touch screen display, the document is translated in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the document is no longer displayed.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2024Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Bas Ording

Patent number: 12169595Abstract: There is described a method performed by a computing device having first and second touch-sensitive user interfaces. According to this method, when a user input is applied to one of the first and second user interfaces, the computing device detects the user input and determines a force applied by the user input and a type of the user input. The computing device then determines whether to perform a function such as whether to display a virtual trackpad or a virtual keyboard, based on the force, the type of the user input, and a determination whether the user input is applied to a selected one of the first and second user interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2021Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Da-Yuan Huang, Wenshu Luo, Che Yan, Wei Li
