MULTI-TOUCH SCREEN RECOGNITION OF INTERACTIVE OBJECTS, AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

摘要

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for multi-touch screen recognition of interactive objects with contacts are described herein. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to equipping a physical object with an asymmetrical pattern of contacts where the multi-touch device identifies the physical object being used to interact with the multi -touch device based on the asymmetrical pattern of contacts located on the physical object. The multi-touch device is also able to identify characteristics of the physical object based on the asymmetrical pattern of contacts as the user interacts with the multi-touch device. Each physical object has a different asymmetrical pattern of contacts so that multi-touch device identifies the differences between each physical object as user interacts with the multi-touch device.
