Abstract:
1. A gesture-based touch screen display system, comprising: a touch screen display including at least a touch sensitive region, the touch sensitive region adapted to receive gesture-based input commands from a user, the touch sensitive region configured, upon receipt of the gesture-based input commands, to generate gesture signals representative of the gesture-based input commands; an instability detector configured to detect when at least one of the touch screen display or the user is being subjected to an acceleration having a magnitude and a direction and, upon such detection, to supply instability descriptors representative of the detected acceleration; and a processor coupled to receive the gesture signals and the instability descriptors, the processor configured, upon receipt of the gesture signals and the instability descriptors, to (i) determine if the instability descriptor is representative of a lateral acceleration, a vertical acceleration, or both, (ii) selectively apply lateral corrections, vertical corrections, or both to the gesture-based input commands based upon the instability descriptors, wherein the processor is configured to selectively apply vertical corrections by:
