Microsoft Windows 8 touch gesture + stylus patent exposure

Microsoft's tablet project is ahead of the iPad, and the dual-screen Courier project is an example, but shortly after the launch of the iPad, Microsoft suspended the project. However, from its recently disclosed set of patent applications, we can see that it is clear that Microsoft has not really terminated its tablet ambitions. Perhaps after Windows 8 comes out, Microsoft will bring us a more innovative tablet.

Microsoft's patent applications are mainly related to touch gestures and stylus. We can look at the amazing things together:
Copy

Touch the picture with your finger or tip Drag to the left to copy the picture.
Group Overlay

Select a picture with your finger or pen tip, the initial input is recognized, and tapping another picture again will complete the overlay.
Split

You can split the picture with a pen tip or a finger touch or with a finger touch.

抠像

Select an area on the picture with the tip of the pen and pick it up.
Tear

Use your forefinger as a tear to tear the picture directly.
Edge

Fixing a picture with two fingers, and then cutting other pictures with a pen tip can directly form a vertical edge, just like the function of a ruler.
Stamp

Allows the user to create a rubber stamp of the picture with a pen tip and gesture as a copy image.
Brush

You can quickly edit the picture directly with the pen, separate any one of them and put it elsewhere in the screen for later use.

There are also many other gestures such as links, padding, etc. From the above patent application, Microsoft still values ​​the input of the stylus on the tablet. Perhaps, we can really look forward to a more efficient and easy to use tablet from Microsoft.
