INPUT LOCATION CORRECTION BASED ON DEVICE MOTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231649 titled 'INPUT LOCATION CORRECTION BASED ON DEVICE MOTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a motion sensing system and a touch sensor.

• The device has a housing, a display, and a cover that acts as an input surface.
• The motion sensing system detects the motion of the device.
• The touch sensor detects when a user makes contact with the input surface.
• The device can determine the relative motion between the user's input and the input surface.
• If the relative motion meets a certain threshold, the device can determine a second input location based on the contact and the motion.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a housing, a display at least partially within the housing, a cover positioned over the display and defining an input surface of the electronic device, a motion sensing system configured to detect a motion of the electronic device, and a touch sensor configured to detect, within a time window after the motion of the electronic device is detected, a contact of an input member of a user on the input surface of the electronic device. The electronic device is configured to determine, for a time prior to the detection of the contact, a relative motion between the input member and the input surface. In accordance with a determination that a characteristic of the relative motion satisfies a threshold condition, the electronic device may determine a second input location based at least in part on the location of the contact and the relative motion.
