Problems solved by technology

However, since users have difficulty remembering and performing these gestures, especially when they are complex and "unnatural", this is not an entirely satisfactory solution
Further, complex gestures take longer for users to articulate

Embodiment Construction

[0035] The present invention is organized as follows. Section A describes an illustrative computing device that considers movement of the computing device when evaluating touch input events. Section B describes illustrative methods for explaining the operation of the computing device of Section A. Section C describes illustrative processing functions that may be used to implement any aspect of the features described in Sections A and B.

[0036] This application is related to the commonly assigned patent application S / N. (attorney file number: 330018.01), titled "Detecting Gestures Involving Intentional Movement of a Computing Device (detecting gestures involving intentional movement of computing equipment)", the inventor is Kenneth Hinckley et al., filed on the same date as this application. This application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Abstract

A computing device is described herein which collects input event(s) from at least one contact-type input mechanism (such as a touch input mechanism) and at least one movement-type input mechanism (such as an accelerometer and / or gyro device). The movement-type input mechanism can identify the orientation of the computing device and / or the dynamic motion of the computing device. The computing device uses these input events to interpret the type of input action that has occurred, e.g., to assess when at least part of the input action is unintentional. The computing device can then perform behavior based on its interpretation, such as by ignoring part of the input event(s), restoring a pre-action state, correcting at least part of the input event(s), and so on.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computing device interaction. Background technique [0002] Handheld computing devices often enable users to enter information by making direct contact with the display surface of the device. These types of input mechanisms are referred to herein as contact-type mechanisms. For example, a touch-input mechanism provides a direct touch-input event when a user touches a display surface of a computing device with a finger (or fingers). The pen input mechanism provides direct pen input events when a user touches the display surface with a pen device, also known as a stylus. [0003] Computing devices also allow users to perform gestures by using one or more fingers or a pen device. For example, a gesture may correspond to an indicative marker that the user traces across the display surface with a finger or a stylus input device. The computing device correlates the gesture with an associated command. The computing device...
