First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving user input with a touch panel interface;
recognizing a complex touch pattern in the user input; and
performing an action associated with the complex touch pattern;
wherein the complex touch pattern is one of a temporal tapping pattern, a multi-shape, multi-touch gesture including finger and non-finger touches, movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard, and a series of touches with varying intensity or angle of descending;
wherein the action is one of executing a system action, adding expressive features to text, and filtering to remove resting interactions.
