Abstract
The present invention relates to a system, method and medium for receiving and acting upon user input. In one embodiment, the user may only have access to a limited input device, like a stylus. Using the present invention, a user is provided with intuitive responses from the system based on inputs from the limited input device.
Claims22
1-8. (canceled)
One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that when executed perform operations comprising:
- receiving user input at a digitizer overlaying a display;
- determining whether the user input moves beyond a first threshold;
- responsive to the user input moving beyond the first threshold, classifying the user input as a stroke;
- and
- in response to the stroke, performing an action on an object or area within proximity to a start of the stroke.
The one or more computer-readable storage media of 9 wherein the user input is caused by the digitizer detecting a user's finger in contact with the digitizer.
14-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving user input at a touch-sensitive display;
- determining whether the user input moves beyond a first threshold;
- responsive to the user input moving beyond the first threshold, classifying the user input as a stroke;
- and
- in response to the stroke, performing an action on an object or area within proximity to a start of the stroke.
A method comprising:
- receiving user input at a touch-sensitive display;
- determining whether the user input moves beyond a first threshold representing a stroke;
- determining whether the user input ends before an amount of time representing a hold or hold and drag;
- and
- responsive to the user input failing to exceed the first threshold and ending before the amount of time, classifying the user input as a tap.
