Thomas R. Gruber,Adam Cheyer,Dag Kittlaus,Didier Rene Guzzoni,Christopher Dean Brigham,Richard Donald Giuli,Marcello Bastea-Forte,Harry J. Saddler +7 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.
Patent
Unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlock image
TL;DR: In this article, a device with a touch-sensitive display may be unlocked via gestures performed on the touch sensitive display, if contact with the display corresponds to a predefined gesture for unlocking the device.
Patent
Mode-based graphical user interfaces for touch sensitive input devices
Steve Hotelling,Joshua A. Strickon,Brian Q. Huppi,Duncan Robert Kerr,Imran Chaudhri,Greg Christie,Jonathan P. Ive,Bas Ording +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a user interface method for detecting a touch and then determining user interface mode when a touch is detected is presented. And the method further includes activating one or more GUI elements based on the user interface modes and in response to the detected touch.

Patent
Method and apparatus for integrating manual input
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple proximity transduction circuit is placed under each electrode to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and to reduce wiring complexity, and segmentation processing of each proximity image constructs a group of electrodes corresponding to each distinguishable contacts and extracts shape, position and surface proximity features for each group.

User interface
TL;DR: A user interface is that portion of an interactive computer system that communicates with the user as mentioned in this paper. User interfaces include any aspect of the system that is visible to the user, such as a keyboard, mouse, or display.
Patent
Object position detector with edge motion feature and gesture recognition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method of generating a signal comprising providing a capacitive touch sensor pad including a matrix of X and Y conductors, developing capacitance profiles in one of an X direction and a Y direction from the matrix, and determining an occurrence of a single gesture through an examination of the capacitance profile, the single gesture including an application of at least two objects on the capacitive sensor pad.
