Abstract:
A method using hardware button(s) dispatches gestures for motion-disabled users. It displays a translucent layer, on top of underlying applications, which intercepts user touch events (preventing inadvertent gestures) and modifies (x′,y′) based on dampened differences of most recent intercepted event coordinates (swabs). The method operates in three modes identified by translucent colors and/or digits (how many button pushes before invocation): mode 1 dispatches short taps at (x′,y′); mode 2 displays extending arrow while the user swabs (x′,y′) until the second push, which dispatches scrolling in arrow direction; mode 3 creates an arrow and pivot. Pivot size and color indicate magnification/demagnification. The third push dispatches zooming when pivot and arrow are collinear; otherwise it dispatches rotation. A special case of mode 2 dispatches a long tap. In one embodiment, dispatched gestures are allowed through a momentary hole centered at (x′,y′) surrounded by four other rectangles in the translucent layer.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 18  wherein said steps of enabling said step of capturing further includes:\n destroying said replacement layer; and \n redisplaying said translucent layer; \n thereby providing visual indicators of said (x\u2032,y\u2032) and of said mode, and thereby preventing said motion events from being received by said underlying application.
