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

Interactive copying system
TL;DR: In this article, a system for generating new documents from originals containing text and/or images was proposed, employing a camera-projector system focussed on a work surface in conjunction with a copier or printer.
Patent
Apparatus and method for supporting the implicit structure of freeform lists, outlines, text, tables, and diagrams in a gesture-based input system and editing system.
TL;DR: In this paper, a screen oriented display processing system is provided for the entry of informational data including a display means, a data entry means for entering informational data on the display, a gesture entering mean for entering handwritten gestural data on a display, an assignment means for assigning a function representative of the gesture to the portion of the informational data, and an implementing means responsive to the assignment means to implement the function on the said portion of information.
Patent
Capacitance-based proximity with interference rejection apparatus and methods
TL;DR: In this article, a pair of electrode arrays establish a capacitance on a touch detection pad, the capacitance varying with movement of a conductive object near the pad, measured synchronously with a reference frequency signal to thus provide a measure of the position of the object.
Patent
Page information display method and device and storage medium storing program for displaying page information
TL;DR: A page information display method for displaying electronic information includes a page turning operation detecting step of outputting a page-turn operation detecting signal when a dragging is made on an operation unit in parallel or unparallel to a predefined page turning direction at a current page read from a storage unit that is to be displayed at present.
Patent
System and method for packing multitouch gestures onto a hand
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-touch system is described that compares finger arrangements at the beginning of multitouch gestures and discriminates between neutral-and spread-hand performances, and then maps gestures by the neutral and spreadhand versions of each chord to separate but intuitively related cursor functions or sets of commands.
