Embodiment Construction

[0027] overview

[0028] Embodiments provide enhanced usability to dual-screen touchpad devices using gestures that can be customized, specific to the usage model of the device, and independent of the operating system (OS) running on the device. Certain embodiments provide gestures that allow application windows to be moved from one screen to another. Using touch data that can be ignored by the OS, custom gestures can be added to the device to enhance the user experience without affecting the default user interaction with the OS.

[0029] In some implementations, dual-screen touchpad devices, such as laptop computers, can hide the virtual keyboard when the user desires extra screen real estate. Since a typical OS may often have keyboard shortcuts for common tasks, additional gestures may be required when using the virtual keyboard. Furthermore, additional gestures can be added without changing the built-in OS gestures, and user-defined custom gestures can be dynamically adde...

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for providing operating system independent gestures and a virtual keyboard in a dual screen device are described.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to user interaction gestures with a virtual keyboard. Background technique [0002] Typical touch screen user interfaces are performed through finger gestures. These finger gestures are broken down into individual points on the touchscreen user interface. Regardless of the shape applied to the touch screen user interface, finger gestures or touch points are resolved into individual points. Accordingly, touch gestures performed on a touchscreen user interface are limited to points. Because they are limited to points, these finger gestures must be precise in order for the touch screen interface to understand touch commands or instructions. [0003] User gestures can be constrained to a specific operating system or OS running on the device. In such cases where a dual-screen touchpad device can be implemented, there may be no provisions for gestures that can easily move applications or windows from one screen to the other. For ex...
