Touch screen with random finger placement and rolling on screen to control the movement of information on-screen
First Claim
1. In a computer controlled display system with a user interactive touch display screen:
- means for displaying data on said screen, means for sensing the placement of a user'"'"'s fingertip adjacent said display screen, means activated by said sensing means for enabling the detection of any rolling of said placed fingertip in an orthogonal direction, and means responsive to the detection of said rolling of said placed fingertip for moving said displayed data in an orthogonal direction corresponding to the direction of said rolling.

Abstract
A computer controlled display system with a user interactive touch screen is provided with an on-screen mouse to which user input may be applied by rolling of the touch finger to thereby move displayed information: the pointer or scrolled information on the screen. Means are provided which are activated by the touching of the screen at any random position selected by the user for enabling the detection of any rolling of said placed fingertip in an orthogonal direction. Also provided are means responsive to the detection of said rolling of said placed fingertip for moving said displayed data in an orthogonal direction corresponding to the direction of said rolling. The data moved may be the cursor or pointer or, when scrolling, the whole screen of data may be moved.

8. In a computer controlled display system having a user interactive touch screen, a method for user interactive movement of displayed data comprising:
-
displaying data on said screen, sensing the placement of a user'"'"'s fingertip adjacent said display screen, in response to said sensing, enabling the detection of any rolling of said placed fingertip in an orthogonal direction, and moving said displayed data in an orthogonal direction corresponding to the direction of said rolling in response to a detection of said rolling of said placed fingertip. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
said touch screen is pressure sensitive, and further including the step of enabling an interactive user input in response to a subsequent pressing of said placed fingertip.

15. A computer controlled display program having program code included on a computer readable medium for the interactive control of a user interactive touch screen comprising:
-
means for displaying data on said screen, means for sensing the placement of a user'"'"'s fingertip adjacent said display screen, means activated by said sensing means for enabling the detection of any rolling of said placed fingertip in an orthogonal direction, and means responsive to the detection of said rolling of said placed fingertip for moving said displayed data in an orthogonal direction corresponding to the direction of said rolling. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
said touch screen is pressure sensitive, and said program further includes means responsive to a subsequent pressing of said placed fingertip for interactive user input.
