METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADDRESSING TOUCH DISCONTINUITIES
First Claim
1. A system for determining a user input action comprising:
- a sensor sensing an initial stroke track representing an initial movement of a user controlled indicator against a touch sensitive surface and sensing a subsequent stroke track representing subsequent movement of the user controlled indicator against the touch sensitive surface; and
a processor receiving the signal and determining that the initial stroke track and the subsequent stroke track comprise portions of common user input action when the initial stroke track is followed by the subsequent stroke track within a continuity time range and a trajectory of the initial stroke track is consistent with a trajectory of the subsequent stroke track.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that determine when an initial stroke and a subsequent stroke track may be part of a common user input action. A method may include receiving a signal from which an initial stroke track representing an initial movement of a user controlled indicator against a touch sensitive surface and sensing a subsequent stroke track representing subsequent movement of the user controlled indicator against the touch sensitive surface can be determined. The method further includes determining that the initial stroke track and the subsequent stroke track comprise portions of common user input action when the initial stroke track is followed by the subsequent stroke track within a predetermined period of time and a trajectory of the initial stroke track is consistent with a trajectory of the subsequent stroke track.
