20110173601 | OPERATING SYSTEM AUTO-UPDATE PROCEDURE - The present invention pertains to differential updating of an operating system in a client device. A delta update file includes an ordered list of operations to be performed on the new install partition in memory that will port from the old install partition. A binary differential compression algorithm may be used to determine differences for the update and to compress the data being transmitted to the client device. Blocks in the partition may cyclically depend from one another. Edges are cut to break cycles. During system operation, disk images are scanned. File operations are created and a blocks vector is developed. A graph is created where the edge weights are set equal to the number of blocks. Given this, cycles are then broken and a final order resulting from a topological sort is produced. | 07-14-2011 |
20120262400 | CLICK DISAMBIGUATION ON A TOUCH-SENSITIVE INPUT DEVICE - The surface of an touch-sensitive input device may act as a physical button that the user may push down to perform a click or other operation. For example, the user may push down the surface of the input device with one finger for a left click and push down the surface of the input device with two fingers for a right click. In one aspect, a system for detecting a left click or a right click when the user pushes down the surface of the input device is provided. When the system first detects that the surface of the input device is pushed down, the system may wait for a short period of time before making a determination of whether the user is pushing down the surface with one finger or two fingers. During this time, the system may collect additional information to make a more reliable determination. | 10-18-2012 |

20140028554 | RECOGNIZING GESTURE ON TACTILE INPUT DEVICE - A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may comprise instructions stored thereon for recognizing gestures on a tactile input device. The instructions may be configured to cause a computing system to at least receive, from a sensor of the tactile input device, a signal representing a first contact on the tactile input device and subsequent release of the first contact from the tactile input device, receive, from the sensor of the tactile input device, a signal representing a second contact on the tactile input device after the first contact is released, the second contact being maintained and changing location on the tactile input device, and recognize the first contact and the second contact as a single gesture if the second contact occurs within a re-tap threshold period of time after the first contact, and the second contact begins within a maximal threshold distance on the tactile input device from the first contact. | 01-30-2014 |

20150022461 | DETERMINING INPUT RECEIVED VIA TACTILE INPUT DEVICE - A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may include instructions stored thereon. When executed by at least one processor, the instructions may be configured to cause a computing system including a tactile input device to at least detect a depression of the tactile input device, detect a number of contacts at the tactile input device, each of the detected contacts being associated with a duration and a distance moved, and determine, based on the number of detected contacts on the tactile input device, the durations of the detected contacts, and the distances moved of the detected contacts, a type of input to process. | 01-22-2015 |
20150207894 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCESSING AN UPDATE SERVER - Systems and methods for accessing an update server to receive one or more updates for data are provided. In some aspects, a system includes an auto-update module configured to determine whether to access the update server directly or by proxy. If the auto-update module determines to access the update server by proxy, the auto-update module is configured to: transmit a request to a proxy manager module for proxy server data that identifies one or more proxy servers; receive the proxy server data from the proxy manager module in response to the request; and access the update server based on the proxy server data to receive one or more updates for the data. The auto-update module is subject to fewer restrictions in modifying the data than is the proxy manager module. | 07-23-2015 |
20150227220 | CORRECTING SCROLLING GESTURE - A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may comprise instructions stored thereon. When executed by at least one processor, instructions may be configured to cause a computing system to at least receive, on a tactile input device of the computing system, a first contact and a second contact, the first and second contacts being maintained on the tactile input device, at least one of the first and second contacts changing location on the tactile input device, determine a direction of movement by the first and second contacts based on the at least one of the first and second contacts changing locations on the tactile input device, assign the determined direction of movement to one of a plurality of directional zones, and modify the determined direction based on the assigned directional zone. | 08-13-2015 |
