TOUCH PREDICTION FOR VISUAL DISPLAYS
First Claim
1. A method for predicting touch events relating to a first visual display, the method comprising:
- maintaining a database of aggregated touch event history data relative to the first visual display and from a plurality of touch screen devices;
querying the database according to a set of environmental parameters, wherein the set of environmental parameters provide information regarding an environment in which the first visual display is used;
analyzing results from the querying of the database to predict a set of touch events within the environment and based upon inferences obtained from the results; and
displaying a representation of the set of touch events on a second visual display.

Abstract
Touch events can be predicted relative to a visual display by maintaining a database of aggregated touch event history data relative to the visual display and from a plurality of touch screen devices. The database can be queried according to a set of input parameters defining an environment for use of the visual display. The results from the querying of the database can be analyzed to predict a set of touch events within the environment and based upon inferences obtained from the results. A representation of the set of touch events can be displayed along with the visual display.
