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

Apparatus and method for manipulating a touch-sensitive display panel
TL;DR: In this article, a two-point specification detector is used to detect two point specifications and causes to calculate coordinates of the two points, and a GUI handler includes a processing mode modification block which differently interprets the event when a single point is specified and when two points are specified.
Patent
Portable information display device with ergonomic bezel
TL;DR: A portable information display device has a backlit touch-sensitive display screen and a housing as discussed by the authors, which has a bezel portion which defines a perimeter of the display screen, allowing the user to trace the bezel until finding the location identification means which corresponds to the desired icon region.
