| 20110050394 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESSURE-BASED AUTHENTICATION OF AN INPUT ON A TOUCH SCREEN - Systems and methods are provided for authenticating an input on a touch screen. A method comprises obtaining one or more pressure metrics for an input by a user on a touch screen that is being proffered as that of a known user. Each pressure metric corresponds to a pressure applied to the touch screen by the user at a respective impression location of the input. The method further comprises authenticating the user as the known user based at least in part on the one or more pressure metrics. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110050588 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PRESSURE-BASED MANIPULATION OF CONTENT ON A TOUCH SCREEN - Methods and apparatus are provided for manipulating content displayed on a touch screen utilizing a transparent pressure-sensing touch panel. A method comprises displaying content on the touch screen and obtaining one or more pressure metrics for an input gesture on the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel. Each pressure metric corresponds to pressure (or force) applied to the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel by a respective impression of the input gesture. The method further comprises adjusting the displayed content on the touch screen in response to the input gesture, wherein the displayed content is adjusted based on to the one or more pressure metrics for the input gesture. | 03-03-2011 |
