Assignee: PERATCH HOLDCO LIMITED
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. An apparatus for maintaining a pressure input, comprising:
a sensing array comprising a plurality of sensing elements; and
a processor configured to:
determine a first location data point in response to activation of a first sensing element;
determine a second location data point in response to activation of a second sensing element;
calculate a state location and state velocity based on said first location data point and said second location data point to create a state vector;
determine a predicted path of at least one further location data point based on said state vector;
update said state vector by replacing an earlier location data point with a later location data point derived from activation of a further sensing element;
utilize said predicted path to provide a continuous pressure input path to prevent drop out of an input gesture; and
terminate said predicted path following a predetermined time period in which no further sensing elements have been activated.
