A method for determining what input should be accepted by a touch sensor after intentional and accidental lift-offs and slide-offs occur when gesturing or performing a function on the touch sensor by a finger or multiple fingers.

Determining what input to accept by a touch sensor after intentional and accidental lift-off and slide-off when gesturing or performing a function

A system and method wherein touchpad input including movement of a cursor and mouse clicks are inhibited until two events have occurred, namely, a timeout interval has elapsed and detection of movement of a pointing object a predetermined distance on the touchpad, wherein the system and method may also be implemented in touchpad firmware or hardware so that touchpad functionality beyond functions offered by an Operating System will travel with the touchpad and be available even when a software driver offering extended touchpad functionality is not installed or available for use.

Reenable delay of a touchpad or touch screen to prevent erroneous input when typing

A method of moving an object in a generally circular manner on the surface of a touchpad and causing a list to be scrolled as long as the object is moving, wherein a method is provided for activating a scrolling function, wherein a method is provided for determining what direction scrolling should occur based upon a direction of movement when scrolling is engaged, and wherein the direction of scrolling is only changed by an abrupt change in direction of the object.

Method and system for performing scrolling by movement of a pointing object in a curvilinear path on a touchpad

A method of using capacitance-sensitive touchpad, wherein the touchpad includes a plurality of zones on a surface thereof, wherein detection of a finger within one of the plurality of zones determines a direction and a speed of scrolling within a window in a graphical user interface, and wherein detection of a finger within one of the plurality of zones determines a direction and a speed of movement of a cursor performing edge motion in the graphical user interface, thus making edge motion and scrolling dependent only upon a detected location of a finger within the plurality of zones, and not dependent upon detecting movement of the finger.
