Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus for filtering pressure data from a pressure-sensitive device is disclosed. A computer implemented method for filtering pressure data from a pressure-sensitive device comprises receiving, from a pressure sensitive device, a raw pressure value for a stroke, filtering the raw pressure value for the stroke to determine a filtered pressure value, and computing a width of a stroke based on the filtered pressure value.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for filtering pressure data from a pressure-sensitive device, the method comprising: receiving, from a pressure-sensitive device, raw pressure values for a stroke in response to motion of a finger or stylus relative to the pressure-sensitive device; determining, by at least one processor, one or more raw pressure values that fall below a raw pressure minimum threshold indicative of a lift event; identifying, by the at…
