TOUCH SCREEN HAVING ADAPTIVE INPUT PARAMETER
First Claim
1. A method of operating a touch panel having a region adapted to receive a touch to indicate an input defined by a parameter, comprising:
- sensing a movement of the touch panel;
comparing the movement to a threshold; and
modifying the parameter based at least in part on the sensing the movement if the movement is greater than or equal to the threshold.

Abstract
A method is provided for modifying input parameters of a touch panel in response to movement of the panel due to vibrations, turbulence, or a “G” force. The method includes sensing movement of a touch panel, the touch panel having a display region requiring a touch to indicate an input defined by the parameter, a threshold of the sensed movement being above which a user may be prevented from physically providing an accurate touch input due to the movement, and modifying the parameter based on the sensed movement being above the threshold. Feedback may be provided and modified in response to the parameter being satisfied by the touch.

17. A method of operating a touch panel having a plurality of regions, each region adapted to receive a touch to indicate an input defined by a parameter, comprising:
-
sensing a movement of the touch panel; comparing the movement to a threshold; and modifying the parameter if the movement is greater than the threshold, wherein the parameter comprises at least one of a force magnitude, a period of time, or the area of the region. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. An input device, comprising:
-
an accelerometer configured to sense a movement; a touch panel coupled to the accelerometer and having a display region configured to receive a touch to indicate an input defined by a parameter; and a processor coupled to the accelerometer and the touch panel, the processor configured to modify the parameter in response to the movement that is greater then or equal to a threshold.
