20090267904 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH-SENSITIVE INPUT SURFACE AND METHOD OF DETERMINING USER-SELECTED INPUT - A method of determining input at a touch-sensitive input surface of a portable electronic device includes detecting a touch event at the touch-sensitive input surface, sampling touch attributes during the touch event, determining an actual touch location and determining at least one shift in touch location based on the touch attributes sampled during the touch event, and determining an input based on the actual touch location and the direction of shift of the touch location. | 10-29-2009 |
20100085313 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF SECONDARY CHARACTER RENDERING AND ENTRY - A method of secondary character rendering and entry in a portable electronic device that has a touch screen display includes rendering a virtual keyboard of a plurality of virtual input keys in a graphical user interface on the touch screen display; detecting a touch event at one of the virtual input keys on the touch screen display; detecting a continuation of the touch event at the one of the virtual input keys; rendering a secondary virtual keyboard of one or more secondary virtual input key on the touch screen display in response to detecting the continuation of the touch event, the secondary virtual keyboard being associated with the virtual input key; detecting a distinct and separate secondary touch event at the secondary virtual input key on the touch screen display; and rendering a secondary character associated with the secondary virtual input key on the touch screen display in response to detecting the secondary touch event. | 04-08-2010 |
20100159996 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCHSCREEN AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method of controlling a portable electronic device having a touch screen display includes rendering a graphical user interface including a plurality of user-selectable features on the touch screen display and, in response to detecting a touch event on the touch screen display proximal one of the user-selectable features, rendering an indicator for one of the user-selectable features corresponding to a location of the touch event prior to selection of any of the user-selectable features. The indicator is rendered intermediate ones of the user-selectable features for identifying the one of the user-selectable features absent obstruction of other ones of the user-selectable features. | 06-24-2010 |

20100083108 | TOUCH-SCREEN DEVICE HAVING SOFT ESCAPE KEY - A touch-screen device has a processor operatively coupled to a memory for storing and executing an application, and a touch-sensitive display screen for receiving a touch input for triggering a displaying of an escape key on the display screen. The displaying of the escape key can be triggered by touching the screen for a predetermined period of time, by swiping a stylus over the screen or by any other recognizable gesture. This soft escape key can thus be used to close, or escape from, an application. | 04-01-2010 |
20110018695 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY - Method and apparatus for displaying a view of an application on a touch-sensitive display include detecting a touch on the touch-sensitive display. When the touch is at a first force, first feedback is provided and a first function is performed. When the touch is at a second force, second feedback is provided and a second function is performed. The first function and the second function are different. The first force and the second force are different. | 01-27-2011 |
20110084922 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method includes associating regions of a touch-sensitive display with information, detecting a touch on the touch-sensitive display, determining an area associated with the touch, and associating probability values with at least some of the information based on an area associated with the touch and the regions associated with the information. | 04-14-2011 |
20110086674 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method includes associating regions of a touch-sensitive display with information, detecting a touch on the touch-sensitive display, determining an area associated with the touch, and associating probability values with at least some of the information based on an area associated with the touch and the regions associated with the information. | 04-14-2011 |
20140086570 | Regenerators Placement Mechanism For Wavelength Switched Optical Networks - The method of placing regenerators along a trail connecting a source network node with a destination network node of an automatically switched optical network first identifies N tentative regeneration sites and n+1 optical paths along the trail. Wavelengths are assigned to each optical path, and the performance of the trail is assessed based on regenerator placement data and wavelength assignment data. | 03-27-2014 |
