Abstract
One or more touch input signals can be obtained from a touch sensitive device. If the touch input signals are associated with one or more regions of a web page displayed on the touch sensitive device, a touch event associated with the regions of a web page is processed by the web page. Otherwise, the touch events can be processed by an application (e.g., a browser).
Claims24
A method, comprising:
- at a multi-touch capable device including a touch-sensitive display, one or more processors, and memory storing a document that includes instructions for processing one or more touch events and one or more gesture events:
- receiving touch input signals associated with multiple concurrent finger touches on one or more elements of the document displayed on the touch-sensitive display;
- processing the touch input signals to determine if the touch input signals are associated with a touch gesture made with respect to one or more elements of the document;
- and
- if the touch input signals are associated with a touch gesture, forwarding a gesture event to the document for further processing by executing the instructions stored in the document.
A computer system, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing a document, including instructions for processing one or more touch events and one or more gesture events, and one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving touch input signals associated with multiple concurrent finger touches on one or more elements of the document displayed on the touch-sensitive display;
- processing the touch input signals to determine if the touch input signals are associated with a touch gesture made with respect to one or more elements of the document;
- and
- if the touch input signals are associated with a touch gesture, forwarding a gesture event to the document for further processing by executing the instructions stored in the document.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by a computer system with a touch-sensitive display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving touch input signals associated with multiple concurrent finger touches on one or more elements of the document displayed on the touch-sensitive display;
- processing the touch input signals to determine if the touch input signals are associated with a touch gesture made with respect to one or more elements of the document;
- and
- if the touch input signals are associated with a touch gesture, forwarding a gesture event to the document for further processing by executing the instructions stored in the document.
