System and apparatus for a multi-point touch-sensitive sensor user interface using distinct digit identification
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium:
- the non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable program code executable by a processor, the computer readable program code configured to;
assign a digit identity to each digit of at least two digits in contact with a multi-point touch sensitive sensor during a learning phase;
associate a movement interaction of a first digit and a second digit of the at least two digits across the multi-point touch sensitive sensor with a digit event function controlling an external device; and
initiate the digit event function in response to recognizing the movement interaction.

Abstract
A computer program product for a multi-point touch-sensitive sensor user interface using distinct digit identification. The computer program product may include a relationship module, an assignment module, a receiving module, a determination module, and an initiation module. The relationship module may determine a relationship between at least two digits. The assignment module may assign a distinct digit identity to each digit of the at least two digits. The receiving module may receive a digit event comprising at least one digit interaction. The determination module may determine a digit identity for each digit involved in the digit event and a digit interaction associated with each digit of the digit event. Finally, the initiation module may initiate a digit event function associated with the determined digit identity and the digit interaction. Therefore, a user has greater control over a device through the interface with each digit having a distinct function and identity.
