First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for simulating multi-point input on a multi-point sensor panel, the system comprising:
- a display for displaying a representation of the multi-point sensor panel;
a single pointing user input device; and
a device simulator, the device simulator configured to receive an input from the single pointing user input device and convert it into a multi-point input according to predefined conversion rules.

Abstract
This relates to allowing a computer system using a single pointing device to simulate multi-point gesture inputs. Simulating software can receive single pointing inputs (such as, for example, input from a mouse) and convert them to simulated multi-point gesture inputs such as finger pinches, reverse pinches, translations, rotation, and the like. The simulating software can also allow the user to use keyboard keys to give the user additional control when generating the multi-point gesture inputs.
