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

Virtual Keyboard Systems with Automatic Correction
Michael R. Longe,Pim Van Meurs +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an enhanced text entry system which uses word-level analysis to correct inaccuracies automatically in user keystroke entries on reduced-size or virtual keyboards is described, where the actual interaction locations for the keystrokes may occur outside the boundaries of the specific keyboard key regions associated with the actual characters of the word interpretations proposed or offered for selection.
Patent
Computer with separate display plane and user interface processor
TL;DR: In this article, a tablet is used as a primary input device for keystroke and mouse input in a computer system with an interface processor and an ink plane buffer for interface display data that is combined with data from the standard display buffer on a pixel-by-pixel basis according to data from a mask plane buffer.
