SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING RESPONSE TO USER INPUT USING INFORMATION ABOUT STATE CHANGES AND PREDICTING FUTURE USER INPUT

摘要

A system and method for caching and using information about graphical and application state changes in an electronic device is disclosed. In an embodiment, the system and method utilize a model of user input from a touch sensor capable of sensing location of a finger or object above a touch surface. In the electronic device, data representative of current user input to the electronic device is created. The model of user input is applied to the data representative of current user input to create data reflecting a prediction of a future user input event. That data is used to identify at least one particular response associated with the predicted future user input event. Data useful to implement graphical and application state changes is cached in a memory of the electronic device, the data including data reflecting a particular response associated with the predicted future user input. The cached data is retrieved from the memory of the electronic device and is used the data to implement the state changes.
