TOUCH PREDICTION FOR VISUAL DISPLAYS

摘要

Touch events can be predicted relative to a visual display by maintaining a database of aggregated touch event history data relative to the visual display and from a plurality of touch screen devices. The database can be queried according to a set of input parameters defining an environment for use of the visual display. The results from the querying of the database can be analyzed to predict a set of touch events within the environment and based upon inferences obtained from the results. A representation of the set of touch events can be displayed along with the visual display.

主权项

1. A method for tracking touch events relating to a visual display on a first electronic device, the method comprising:
identifying a set of environmental parameters, wherein the environmental parameters provide information regarding an environment in which the visual display is used on the first electronic device by a user; accessing a plurality of touch event data sets for the visual display, the plurality of touch event data sets corresponding to the environmental parameters and associated with the visual display as used on at least a second electronic device; identifying touch patterns from the plurality of touch event data sets; monitoring subsequent touch events by the user of the visual display; detecting a match between the touch patterns and the subsequent touch events of the user; predicting, in response to detecting the match, a possible touch event for the user; and modifying, in response to the possible touch event, the visual display on the first electronic device for the user.
