System with a gesture-identification unit
First Claim
1. A method for operating a system with a touchscreen, a control unit for the touchscreen, a central-processing unit, and a gesture-identification unit, the method comprising:
- identifying a position or a movement of one or more physical objects on or near the touchscreen by the control unit; and
associating the position or the movement of one or more physical objects with a gesture in a gesture set by a first association unit in the gesture-identification unit,wherein a key combination or a sequence of key combinations for the gesture is transferred by a second association unit to an application, or a function for the gesture is started by the second association unit within an application, or the gesture is transferred by a second association unit to the application,wherein graphic characters are entered through a movement of one or more physical objects on the touch screen, andwherein control characters followed by the graphic characters are entered through multiploid graphic characters.

Abstract
A method is used for operating a system with a touchscreen, a control unit for the touchscreen, a central-processing unit and a gesture-identification unit. In a first method step, a position of one or more physical objects on and/or near the touchscreen is identified by the control unit, and/or a movement of one or more physical objects on and/or near the touchscreen is identified by the control unit. In a further method step, the position and/or the movement of one or more physical objects is associated with a gesture in a gesture set by a first association unit in a gesture-identification unit. Following this, a key combination is transferred by a second association unit to an application, and/or a function of an application is started for the gesture by the second association unit, and/or the gesture is transferred by the second association unit to an application.

30. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions for causing a processor to execute a method for operating a system with a touchscreen, a control unit for the touchscreen, a central-processing unit, and a gesture-identification unit, the method comprising:
-
identifying a position or a movement of one or more physical objects on or near the touchscreen by the control unit; and associating the position or the movement of one or more physical objects with a gesture in a gesture set by a first association unit in the gesture-identification unit, wherein a key combination or a sequence of key combinations for the gesture is transferred by a second association unit to an application, or a function for the gesture is started by the second association unit within an application, or the gesture is transferred by a second association unit to the application, wherein graphic characters are entered through a movement of one or more physical objects on the touchscreen, and wherein control characters followed by the graphic characters are entered through multiploid graphic characters.

31. A computer system comprising:
-
a touchscreen, a control unit for the touchscreen, a central-processing unit; and a gesture-identification unit, wherein the control unit identifies a position or a movement of one or more physical objects on or near the touchscreen, wherein a first association unit in the gesture-identification unit associates the position or the movement of one or more physical objects with a gesture in a gesture set, wherein a second association unit transfers a key combination or a sequence of key combinations for the gesture to the application, or a second association unit starts a function for the gesture within an application, or a second association unit transfers the gesture to an application, wherein graphic characters are entered through a movement of one or more physical objects on the touch screen, and wherein control characters followed by the graphic characters are entered through multiploid graphic characters. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33)
