Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method and corresponding apparatus or system for disambiguating touch-input based on variation in a characteristic such as speed or pressure along a touch-trail. A computing system may detect a variation in a characteristic of a touch-trail, such as variation in speed of movement of touch along the touch-trail and/or a variation in pressure of touch along the touch-trail. Based on the detected variation, the computing system may determine an intended touch position represented by the trail, such as a landing position or lifting position for instance. And the computing system may take action based at least in part on that determined touch position.
