TLDR
In this article, the authors described a system for processing touch inputs with respect to a multipoint sensing device and identifying at least one multipoint gesture based on the data from the multi-point sensing device.Abstract:
Methods and systems for processing touch inputs are disclosed. The invention in one respect includes reading data from a multipoint sensing device such as a multipoint touch screen where the data pertains to touch input with respect to the multipoint sensing device, and identifying at least one multipoint gesture based on the data from the multipoint sensing device.read more

TL;DR: In this article, an intelligent automated assistant system engages with the user in an integrated, conversational manner using natural language dialog, and invokes external services when appropriate to obtain information or perform various actions.
Patent
Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same
TL;DR: In this article, a mobile terminal including a body; a touchscreen provided to a front and extending to side of the body and configured to display content; and a controller configured to detect one side of a body when it comes into contact with a side of an external terminal, display a first area on the touchscreen corresponding to a contact area of body and the external terminal and a second area including the content.

TL;DR: In this paper, a touch panel system and methods are disclosed that can distinguish temporally overlapping touch inputs from single touch inputs so that valid touch position coordinates can be determined, which can be used in multiple user applications such as multiplayer games as well as in applications that may be subject to rapidly successive touch inputs.
Patent
Capacitive sensor and array
TL;DR: In this paper, a keypad is associated with an alternating voltage source (101) and a pair of electrodes (100, 104) mounted on or within a solid dielectric substrate or panel so as to be separated from each other by a gap.
Patent
A hand gesture recognition system and method
TL;DR: In this article, the rotational vectors calculated using a real-valued centroid are used to segment the hand region independently of pixel quantization, and color segmentation is used to identify hand-color regions, followed by region labeling to filter out noise regions based on region size.
