Abstract
A computer configured to selectively use prediction to compensate for a latency of an input device. The input device may be a touch screen. Processing of touch inputs may lead to a latency between the user performing a touch input and the touch screen display responding to the touch input. A touch screen component predicts a subsequent position of a touch contact point based on the sensed positions of the touch contact point. The component may be a software component that provides a predictive output that can be selectively used based on a characteristic of a touch input. The component may be generic such that it may be applied on multiple types of computers equipped with different types of touch sensing hardware configured with any suitable settings. The component's output may be used to control the touch screen display.
