SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR A MULTI-POINT TOUCH-SENSITIVE SENSOR USER INTERFACE USING DISTINCT DIGIT IDENTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A computer program product for a multi-point touch-sensitive sensor user interface using distinct digit identification, the computer program product comprising:
- a relationship module configured to determine a relationship between at least two digits, the relationship based on an association between the at least two digits, the association registered by and signaled from a multi-point touch-sensitive sensor;
an assignment module configured to assign a digit identity to each digit of the at least two digits, the digit identity assigned based on the relationship between the at least two digits, the digit identity comprising a distinct representation;
a receiving module configured to receive a digit event, the digit event comprising at least one digit interaction, the digit interaction selected from the group consisting of a single digit movement, a plurality of digit movements, a movement of a plurality of digits, a single digit contact, and a plurality of contacts, the digit event registered by and signaled from a multi-point touch-sensitive sensor;
a determination module configured to determine a digit identity for each digit involved in the digit event and a digit interaction associated with each digit of the digit event;
an initiation module configured to initiate a digit event function, the digit event function associated with the determined digit identity and the digit 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.
