20110134049 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING MULTIPLE TOUCH INPUT ON A COMPUTING DEVICE - A system for handling multi-touch input on a computing device enables the device to handle multi-touch input where each touch input is provided to a separate application executing on the device. In response to a first touch input, a first application generates and registers a first connection point with a link component. Similarly, a second application generates and registers a second connection point in response to a second touch input. The link component then provides the second connection point to the first application and notifies the first application that it should complete a communication connection with the second application. The two applications then exchange information to determine a coordinator application that will execute first in response to the input. The information exchange may include a handshake process in which each application may request or provide information and notify the other application that it will or will not execute an operation. After the coordinator is selected, the selected application executes an operation. | 06-09-2011 |
20090116181 | ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH SURFACE FEATURES - Electronic devices with surface features are disclosed. The electronic devices includes a processor and a display operatively coupled to the processor for presenting outputs to a user. The electronic devices also includes a housing having a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion to form an enclosure containing the processor and the display. The second portion includes a plurality of edges proximate to the first portion, an end surface spaced apart from the edges, and a plurality of side surfaces extending between the edges and the end surface. At least one of the side surfaces is canted relative to the end surface. | 05-07-2009 |
20080254838 | ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH SENSIBLE ORIENTATION STRUCTURES, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Electronic devices with sensible orientation structures are disclosed. The electronic devices can include a faceplate having a faceplate surface and a display at or near the faceplate surface for providing content to a user. The electronic devices can also include an input device proximate to the display for accepting input from the user. The electronic devices can further include a sensible orientation structure carried by the faceplate and at a fixed relative position relative to the input device. The sensible orientation structure is configured to provide the user with positional feedback relative to the input device via touching. | 10-16-2008 |
