Abstract
A method of processing touch input includes recognizing a first touch input, and then, after conclusion of the first touch input, recognizing a second touch input temporally separate from the first touch input. The temporally separate combination of the first touch input and the second touch input is then translated into a multi-touch control.
Claims20
A method of manipulating an image on a display, the method comprising:
- presenting the image on the display;
- recognizing a first touch input at a first position on the display;
- setting an anchor at the first position;
- after conclusion of the first touch input, recognizing a second touch input on the display;
- and
- changing a characteristic of the image on the display based on a path of the second touch input relative to the anchor set by the first touch input.

A computing device, comprising:
- a display configured to visually present an image;
- a touch-input subsystem configured to recognize touch input on the display;
- and
- a control subsystem configured to:
- set an anchor at a first position responsive to a first touch input recognized at a first position by the touch-input subsystem;
- and
- change a characteristic of the image on the display responsive to a second touch input recognized after conclusion of the first touch input, the control subsystem configured to change the characteristic of the image based on a path of the second touch input relative to the anchor.
