USB HID DEVICE ABSTRACTION FOR HDTP USER INTERFACES
First Claim
1. A method for implementing USB communications providing user interface measurement and detection of at least one gesture and one angle of finger position for a touch-based user interface, the method comprising:
- receiving real-time tactile-image information from a tactile sensor array;
processing the real-time tactile-image information to detect and measure the variation of one angle of a finger position and to detect at least one gesture, the processing further producing at least one of a parameter value responsive to the variation in the finger angle and a symbol responsive to a detected gesture;
mapping the at least one parameter value and symbol to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Human Interface Device (HID) message, andtransmitting the HID message to a host device over USB hardware,wherein the at least one parameter value and symbol is carried by the USB HID message for use by an application executing on the host device.

Abstract
A method for implementing USB communications providing user interface measurement and detection of at least one gesture and one angle of finger position for a touch-based user interface is disclosed. The method comprises receiving real-time tactile-image information from a tactile sensor array; processing the tactile-image information to detect and measure the variation of one angle of a finger position and to detect at least one gesture producing at least one of a parameter value responsive to the variation in the finger angle and a symbol responsive to a detected gesture. These are mapped to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Human Interface Device message which is transmitted to a host device over USB hardware for use by an application executing on the host device. The method provides for the incorporation of various configurations, tactical grammars, use with a touch screen, and numerous other features.
