Abstract
An input system has a positional input configured for detecting positional input interactions with a surface thereof and a plurality of input devices configured for detecting touch interactions. The controller is configured to receive signals from the positional input and the input devices, match positional input interactions with touch interactions by temporally correlating timing of the interactions and match any remaining unmatched interactions by spatially correlating an assigned spatial ordering of the input devices with coordinates of the positional input interactions to generate input interaction signals for a computer device.
Claims15
An input system interfacing a device, the system comprising:
- a positional input configured for detecting positional input interactions with a surface thereof, each positional input interaction assigned respective coordinates with respect to the surface;
- a plurality of input devices, each assigned a respective input device ID, configured for electronically detecting touch interactions, each touch interaction assigned to the respective input device ID, the input devices assigned a spatial ordering, the spatial ordering is directional with respect to a spatial axis of the surface;
- a controller configured to:
- receive signals from the positional input and the input devices;
- match positional input interactions with touch interactions by temporally correlating timing of the interactions;
