New Apple touch patents show body part sensing, fingernail input
News Type: Event — Seeded on Fri Jul 4, 2008 4:32 AM EDT
Article Source: Apple Insideradvertisement
In what's considered the definitive overview of Apple's attempts to patent its multi-touch interface, a deluge of newly-public filings show Apple considering technology that hasn't yet been used in the iPhone or the Mac -- including sensing the difference between body parts, explaining gestures through activities, and even responding differently to input from fingernails.
A majority of the patents just published on Thursday not only relate to multi-touch in the iPhone, iPod touch, and Macs but were all originally submitted on January 3rd, 2007 -- a week before the iPhone's first showing, when Apple chief Steve Jobs touted over a hundred patents for the handset.
