1. A touch-sensitive computing device, comprising:
- a logic subsystem; and
a storage subsystem holding instructions executable by the logic subsystem todisplay a graphical user interface on a display of the touch-sensitive computing device,receive a touch input via a touch sensor of the touch-sensitive computing device at a sensed location,operate a touch sensing system to perform a probabilistic determination of an intended touch location based on the touch input by utilizing a statistical distribution of a previously-determined set of sensed touch input locations as an input to the probabilistic determination, the previously-determined set of sensed touch input locations comprising a testing data set formed during development of the touch sensing system, anddisplay a response to the touch input at an adjusted location on the graphical user interface that is adjusted relative to the sensed location based upon the probabilistic determination.

Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed that relate to adjusting touch inputs on a computing device. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method of operating a touch-sensitive display of a computing device comprising displaying a graphical user interface on the touch-sensitive display, receiving a touch input via a touch sensor of the touch-sensitive display at a sensed location, performing a probabilistic determination of an intended touch location based on the input, and displaying a response to the input at an adjusted location on the graphical user interface that is adjusted relative to the sensed location based upon the probabilistic determination.

12. A touch-sensitive computing device, comprising:
-
a logic subsystem; and a storage subsystem holding instructions executable by the logic subsystem to display a plurality of user interface elements in a user interface via a touch-sensitive display of the touch-sensitive computing device, receive user input via the touch-sensitive display, operate a touch sensing system to perform a probabilistic determination to determine, for each of two or more of the plurality of user interface elements, a probability of the user input received being intended for the user interface element, the probabilistic determination utilizing a statistical distribution of a previously-determined set of sensed touch input locations as an input, the previously-determined set of sensed touch input locations comprising a testing data set formed during development of the touch sensing system, and display a selection of a selected user interface element based upon the probabilistic determination. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of receiving user input via a graphical user interface presented by a computing device, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first stylus touch input having a first touch location; operate a touch sensing system by performing a probabilistic determination of a first intended touch location based upon the first touch location and one or more user interface elements displayed when the first stylus touch input is received, the probabilistic determination of the first intended touch location utilizing a statistical distribution of a previously-determined set of sensed touch input locations as an input, the previously-determined set of sensed touch input locations comprising a testing data set formed during development of the touch sensing system; displaying at the first intended touch location a response to the first touch stylus input received by applying a first offset; receiving a second stylus touch input having a second touch location; performing a probabilistic determination of a second intended touch location based upon the second touch location and one or more user interface elements displayed when the second stylus touch input is received; and displaying at the second intended touch location a response to the second stylus touch input received by applying a second offset to the second touch location, the second offset being different from the first offset. - View Dependent Claims (20)
