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.

Application-independent text entry for touch-sensitive display
TL;DR: In this paper, the stroke is categorized as one of a swish type stroke and a non-swish stroke, and then translated into an application function, and if the stroke was a non swish stroke then it was converted to a character input function.

TL;DR: The TouchTrackball and the Scrolling TouchMouse are demonstrated, which use unobtrusive capacitance sensors to detect contact from the users hand without requiring pressure or mechanical actuation of a switch.
Patent
Graphical user interface
TL;DR: In this paper, a graphical user interface is contained on a computer screen and used for determining the vulnerability posture of a network, where a system design window displays network items of network map that are representative of different network elements contained within the network.
Patent
Method and device for optical input of commands or data
TL;DR: In this article, a method of user command or data acquisition in a processing system that allows to analyze human hand and finger motions is described, and the activities are then interpreted as operations on a physically non-existent input device.
