Abstract
An electronic device, with a touch-sensitive surface and display, displays a user interface at a first display rate. While displaying the user interface, the device detects movement of a touch input across the touch-sensitive surface at a first detection rate that is higher than the first display rate. An application-independent touch processing module sends to an application-specific portion of the first software application touch location information for the touch input that identifies: one or more predicted locations of the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface, and one or more predicted intensity values of the touch input at one or more intensity locations of the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface. The first software application processes the touch location information and updated the user interface accordingly.
