Touch Coordinate Prediction for Mobile Terminal Input Lag

The patent applies preliminary action by predicting future touch coordinates based on historical touch data before the actual touch input is completed. The coordinate prediction module calculates predicted coordinates in advance using speed and acceleration components derived from previous touch movements, allowing the display to show the touch output at the predicted position rather than waiting for complete processing of the actual touch coordinate. This reduces perceived input lag without requiring fundamental changes to the touch processing system.

The patent applies local quality by implementing touch coordinate prediction specifically for applications that benefit from reduced input lag, such as games and drawing applications, rather than uniformly across all applications. The system can identify application types and apply the prediction algorithm selectively, enhancing user concentration and experience in touch-intensive applications while avoiding unnecessary complexity in applications where precise touch timing is less critical. This targeted approach improves ease of operation where needed without unnecessarily increasing system-wide complexity.
