Abstract
A method tracks a plurality of touch points across successive frames of a touch sensitive input device to determine a trajectory. Each touch point on a frame of a touch sensitive input device is correlated with another distinct touch point on a subsequent frame of the same touch sensitive input device. The correlation is based on examining in the subsequent frame an area surrounding each touch point on the previous frame. Touch points identified within this search area are prioritized based on a projected trajectory through the prior touch point based on historical data.
