Assignee:

Dell Products L.P. - Round Rock TX

International Classification:

G06F 3/041

US Classification:

345173

Abstract:

A visual feedback system includes a touch input screen. A proximity sensing device is coupled to the touch input screen and operable to determine a position of an input member relative to the touch input screen when the input member is proximate to the touch input screen but prior to the contact of the input member and the touch input screen. A visual feedback engine is coupled to the touch input screen and the proximity sensing device and is operable to receive the position of the input member from the proximity sensing device and provide a visual feedback for data displayed on the touch input screen that corresponds to the position of the input member relative to the touch input screen.

International Classification:

G06F 3/033

US Classification:

715863

Abstract:

A gesture operation input system includes one or more subsystems to receive an input indicating a modifier input, receive a gesture input, wherein the gesture input indicates an action to be performed, and receive an indication that the modifier input is no longer being received. After receiving the gesture input, the gesture operation input system then determines the action to be performed using the gesture input and performs the action.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048
G06F 3/033

US Classification:

715835, 715863

Abstract:

A dynamic touch interface in which users are able to flick or scroll within the dynamic touch interface such as a dock or carousel and view the contents of their applications and thus provides a touch friendly environment to a personal computer type operating system (i.e., a keyboard/mouse input type operating system). More specifically, the touch input environment implements dynamic icons such that the icons populate content which is viewed or experienced. For example, if a user launches a favorite band in a music application, the carousel is automatically populated with album art or a picture of the band. The next time the user visits the desktop, the music icon is replaced by an image of the band or artist. Also, in certain embodiments, the icon includes a brief description of the content (i.e., number of songs or albums in folder).

Inventors:

Robert Grapes - Palmerston North, NZ

International Classification:

G06F 3/041

US Classification:

345173

Abstract:

A system for providing intuitive grouping and viewing of grouped objects using touch. The system enables a touch screen interaction with simple gestural inputs. The system allows simple grouping and ungrouping of objects in a touch screen environment. Specifically, a user can tap on an object and drag it on top of another object. The first object is associated with (e.g., sticks to) the second object, thereby forming a pile. The pile can continue to be used to “stick” to other single objects and/or formed piles. The pile can then be used to organize and/or send objects to another desired location. When a user selects objects and creates piles, the interface may elicit feedback to provide an affordance to the user's behavior. In various embodiments, the feedback may include visual, tactile and/or auditory feedback.

Inventors:

Roy W. Stedman - Austin TX, US
Deborah C. Russell - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

DELL PRODUCTS, LP - Round Rock TX

International Classification:

G06F 3/033

US Classification:

715863

Abstract:

An information handling system includes a gesture sensitive interface and a processor. The processor is configured to receive inputs from the gesture sensitive interface corresponding to first and second interaction points, determine a relative motion between the first and second interaction points, and obtain a velocity of the relative motion. The processor is further configured to determine if the velocity exceeds a threshold, and scale an image on a display from an initial magnification to a predetermined magnification when the velocity exceeds a threshold.
