Title: Diffusion coloring using weighted color points
Inventor: Ankit Phogat
IPC: G06T11/40
Filed: 2018-07-26
Abstract: A computing device receives (302) user input establishing manipulable colour handles (representing colour points) (102, 104, 106 & 108 in fig. 1) within a source geometry specified by curves (e.g. cubic Bezier splines), and defines (304) vertices distributed throughout the source geometry. A resultant colour at each of a plurality of vertices is determined (306) by calculating a weighted sum of colour values contributed by the colour handles, and a diffused pixel colour is set (308) for each pixel within the source geometry by interpolating between the resultant colours at the vertices. This produces (310) a rendered geometry specified by the set of curves including the diffused pixel colour for each pixel. The input may also manipulate the displayed rendering by changing the weight, position, presence, quality parameter etc. of a colour handle, or change the source geometry. The vertices may correspond to points in a triangular mesh (see fig. 5B). a position of each handle may be defined by a Steiner point.

Title: Detecting Manually Applied Pressure
Inventor: CARL OLOF FREDRIK JONSSON
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2020-11-27
Abstract: A detector and method for detecting manually pressure or touch applied to the screen of a mobile telephone. A substrate 601 (in figure 6) comprises a plurality of electrodes 611 - 618 (in figure 6). A processing device energises the electrodes such that the electrodes are configured to identify a position of applied pressure by detecting a change in resistance in response to a first energising signal received from the processing device. Then the electrodes are energised with a signal, so they are configured to confirm this position of applied pressure by detecting a change in capacitance in response to the second energizing signal received from the processing device. The use of both methods eliminates the disadvantage of a false signal due the natural proximity of fingers tips at the screen edge when the phone is being held.
