Abstract

Aspects of the disclosed subject matter are related to a method for utilizing touch object orientation with a touch user interface. First, a first location within a text body on the touch interface is determined. Next, a change in an orientation of a touch object is determined while the touch object remains in contact with the touch device. Thereafter, a second location within the text body on the touch user interface different from the first location is determined based at least in part on the first location and the change in the orientation of the touch object.

Description

[0001] Related applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 14 / 723,125, filed May 27, 2015, entitled "Rapid Text Cursor Placement Using Finger Orientation," which is a non-provisional application of Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 005,771, filed May 30, 2014, entitled "Rapid Option Selection Using Finger Angle," which provides Incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to electronic devices, and more particularly to methods, apparatus, and systems for use in and / or with touch-input devices. Background technique [0004] Certain operations can be inefficient or cumbersome with conventional touch user interfaces. One example is pinpointing a location within a body of text and moving a text cursor to that location. Selecting a location with high precision on a touch user interface using conventional touch input can be tedious and difficult due to the re...
