SENSOR CORRELATION FOR PEN AND TOUCH-SENSITIVE COMPUTING DEVICE INTERACTION

摘要

Pen and computing device sensor correlation technique embodiments correlate sensor signals received from various grips on a touch-sensitive pen and touches to a touch-sensitive computing device in order to determine the context of such grips and touches and to issue context-appropriate commands to the touch-sensitive pen or the touch-sensitive computing device. A combination of concurrent sensor inputs received from both a touch-sensitive pen and a touch-sensitive computing device are correlated. How the touch-sensitive pen and the touch-sensitive computing device are touched or gripped are used to determine the context of their use and the user's intent. A context-appropriate user interface action based can then be initiated. Also the context can be used to label metadata.

1. A computer-implemented process for initiating user interface actions, comprising using a computer for:
receiving a combination of concurrent sensor inputs received from a touch-sensitive pen and a touch-sensitive computing device, comprising:
one or more sensor inputs based on grip patterns on the touch-sensitive pen,one or more sensor inputs based touch patterns on the touch-sensitive computing device; using the sensor inputs to determine how the touch-sensitive pen is being gripped concurrent with how the touch-sensitive computing device is being touched; and initiating a user interface action based on a combination of the grip pattern on the touch-sensitive pen device and the touch pattern on the touch-sensitive computing device.
