Advanced touch control of interactive map viewing via finger angle using a high dimensional touchpad (HDTP) touch user interface

摘要

High Dimensional Touchpad (HDTP) or other user interface technology implemented in touch screens used on computers, smartphones, or other mobile devices provides advanced touch control of a variety of interactive map applications using one or more of a user's finger position or movement in one or more of the roll angle, pitch angle, yaw angle, and downward pressure directions. Implementations also can be responsive to a user's finger position or movement in the left-right and forward-backward directions. Implementations can also use HDTP or other user interface technology implemented on the back of a mouse. Also, the interactive map imaging application may use a connection over the internet or other network.
