Abstract:
An electronic device includes a touch-sensitive surface, for example a touch pad or touch screen. The user interacts with the touch-sensitive surface, producing touch interactions. Some of these touch interactions may be detected as indicative of a grasp for manipulating a physical tool (e.g., the grasp for holding a pen). When these touch interactions are encountered, a corresponding virtual tool is instantiated. The virtual tool controls an action on the electronic device that is similar to an action that can be performed by the physical tool. For example, the virtual pen can be used to draw on the display, whereas the physical pen draws on paper. A representation of the virtual tool is also displayed on a display for the electronic device, possibly providing additional affordances, at a location that corresponds to a location of the detected touch interaction.

Claim (Index 22):
The device of  claim 20 , wherein the touch analysis module is further configured to determine the at least one of position, shape, size, orientation, pressure, or contacting part(s) of the user's hand(s) of the first set of the at least three simultaneous touch contacts based at least in part on at least one statistical quantity associated with at least one of a distance between a pair of points associated with the at least three simultaneous touch contacts, another distance between respective points associated with the at least three simultaneous touch contacts and the point cloud, respective angles between adjacent points associated with the at least three simultaneous touch contacts, or at least one feature associated with an ellipse fitted to the estimated total touch area, wherein the at least one statistical quantity comprises at least one of a mean, a median, a minimum, a maximum, or a standard deviation, and wherein the at least one feature associated with the ellipse fitted to the estimated total touch area comprises at least one of a major axis length, a minor axis length, an eccentricity value, or an area value determined for the ellipse.
