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

Display module with reduced power consumption
TL;DR: In this article, a display module (100) with reduced power consumption uses a control circuit (110) to reset row and column display drivers (130, 140) and turn off a portion of the display (150) when the display module(100) is in a partial display mode.
Patent
Multimedia call routing in an ip network
TL;DR: In this article, a feature server processes calls to a subscriber's main directory number in a packet network by submitting a subscriber-administered questionnaire to callers, when completed by the calling party, can be used to automatically route the call or to reposition the call in the incoming call queue.
