SIMULATION OF MULTI-POINT GESTURES WITH A SINGLE POINTING DEVICE

摘要

This relates to allowing a computer system using a single pointing device to simulate multi-point gesture inputs. Simulating software can receive single pointing inputs (such as, for example, input from a mouse) and convert them to simulated multi- point gesture inputs such as finger pinches, reverse pinches, translations, rotation, and the like. The simulating software can also allow the user to use keyboard keys to give the user additional control when generating the multi- point gesture inputs.
