TOUCH INPUT INTERPRETATION
First Claim
1. A computing device, comprising:
- a touch display;
a logic subsystem operatively coupled to the touch display; and
a data-holding subsystem holding instructions executable by the logic subsystem to;
recognize a touch input from a source on the touch display;
determine if the source is of a first type or if the source is of a second type;
interpret the touch input as a first kind of gesture if the source is of the first type and a parameter of the touch input is below a first threshold;
interpret the touch input as a second kind of gesture if the source is of the first type and the parameter of the touch input is above the first threshold;
interpret the touch input as the first kind of gesture if the source is of the second type and the parameter of the touch input is below a second threshold, the second threshold being different than the first threshold; and
interpret the touch input as the second kind of gesture if the source is of the second type and the parameter of the touch input is above the second threshold.

Abstract
A method of operating a touch display includes interpreting a touch input on the touch display as a first kind of gesture if a source of the touch input is of a first type and a parameter of the touch input is below a first threshold. The touch input is interpreted as a second kind of gesture if the source is of the first type and the parameter of the touch input is above the first threshold. The touch input is interpreted as the first kind of gesture if the source is of a second type and the parameter of the touch input is below a second threshold, the second threshold being different than the first threshold. The touch input is interpreted as the second kind of gesture if the source is of the second type and the parameter of the touch input is above the second threshold.

15. A method of operating a touch display, the method comprising:
-
recognizing a touch input from a source on the touch display; recognizing a distance of the touch input; determining if the source is a finger or if the source is a nonfinger; interpreting the touch input as a tap gesture if the source is a finger and the distance of the touch input is below a first distance threshold; interpreting the touch input as a scroll gesture if the source is a finger and the distance of the touch input is above the first distance threshold; interpreting the touch input as a tap gesture if the source is a nonfinger and the distance of the touch input is below a second distance threshold, the second distance threshold being different than the first distance threshold; and interpreting the touch input as a scroll gesture if the source is a nonfinger and the distance of the touch input is above the second distance threshold. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
