Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A free space input standard is instantiated on a processor. Free space input is sensed and communicated to the processor. If the free space input satisfies the free space input standard, a touch screen input response is invoked in an operating system. The free space input may be sensed using continuous implicit, discrete implicit, active explicit, or passive explicit approaches. The touch screen input response may be invoked through communicating virtual touch screen input, a virtual input event, or a virtual command to or within the operating system. In this manner free space gestures may control existing touch screen interfaces and devices, without modifying those interfaces and devices directly to accept free space gestures.
First claim

1 . A machine-implemented method, comprising: establishing a data entity on a processor; said data entity being adapted to accept a surface constrained input; said data entity being adapted to determine whether said surface constrained input satisfies a surface constrained input standard; said data entity being adapted to execute a surface constrained input response if said surface constrained input satisfies said surface constrained input standard; establishing a free space input stan…
