Claim Text:
1. A method of interpreting a user's touch at a touch screen interface device, the method comprising: displaying instructions on the touch screen interface device instructing the user to draw a certain figure on the touch screen interface device; detecting the user's touch on the touch screen interface device; identifying the user's touch as a plurality of coordinates within a predefined area designated as the user's interface device; comparing touch strength pressure measurements of the plurality of coordinates with at least one touch strength pressure measurement threshold value stored in a memory of a computing device, wherein the touch strength pressure measurements comprise a plurality of pressure strength values corresponding to each of the plurality of coordinates; determining the plurality of coordinates match a predefined shape comprising a set of predefined coordinates stored in the memory to a predefined degree of precision as determined by a computing application by identifying locations of each of the plurality of coordinates on the touch screen interface device and measuring a distance of each of the plurality of coordinates to corresponding coordinates of the predefined shape; when the plurality of coordinates match the predefined shape to a predefined degree of precision, determining an average touch strength pressure measurement based on each of the plurality of coordinates forming the figure, wherein the average touch strength pressure measurement is determined by calculating an average of the plurality of pressure strength values; and designating the average touch strength pressure measurement as a new touch strength pressure measurement threshold value.
