Abstract
A method for receiving inputs from touch panels is described. The method may include checking for a first input from a first touch panel of a computing device. The method may also include checking for a second input from a second touch panel of the computing device; wherein the first and second inputs are related to a gesture. The method may also include receiving the first and second input simultaneously. The method may also include performing an operation at the computing device based on the simultaneous input from the first touch panel and the second touch panel.
Claims26
A system, comprising;
- a first touch panel to receive a first input;
- a second touch panel to receive a second input;
- a processor;
- logic to check for the first input from the first touch panel of a computing device;
- logic to check for the second input from the second touch panel of the computing device;
- logic to determine if the first and second input occurred substantially simultaneously;
- and, if so,
- logic to perform a gesture operation at the computing device based on the simultaneous input from the first touch panel and the second touch panel.
A computing device, comprising logic at least partially comprising hardware to:
- check for a first input from a first touch panel;
- check for a second input from a second touch panel;
- determine if the first and second input occurred substantially simultaneously;
- and, if so
- perform a gesture operation at the computing device based on the simultaneous input from the first touch panel and the second touch panel.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, having instructions thereon to cause a computing device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- checking for a first input from a first touch panel of a computing device;
- checking for a second input from a second touch panel of the computing device;
- wherein the first and second inputs are related to a gesture;
- determining if the first and second input occurred substantially simultaneously;
- and, if so,
- performing a gesture operation at the computing device based on the simultaneous input from the first touch panel and the second touch panel.
