Abstract

Safe touch is the omission of the essential element of a digit 0 (representing all digits) being removed from the display continuing to make a device operable, and thereby a first touch (claim 1 (i)) caused the device to be inoperative Fig 1 L to any user input until a second touch (claim 1 (ii)) (e.g. SOL2 - SOL9 in Figs 2L-9L) which retains the element's function. And the USPTO state this is an indicia of unobviousness. Thus the invention recognized the problem with the iPhone and equivalent devices was that when a digit was hovering over a display 0, the device was operative to further touch on the display (e.g. PM02 or PMO1) or other user input (e.g. pressing B1 or voice), and solved this problem (which as considered an advantage one day before this invention) by making the device partially or fully inoperative when all digits (e.g. illustrated by digit 0) were removed from the touch-sensitive display. And in doing so discovered by retaining the element's function by performing operations by a second touch of claim 1 (ii) discovered unexpected superior benefits.

Description

Safe Touch

Prior Art

P1 is US Application Number 13/896,280

P1 described a touch GUI or a ZeroClick GUI. The inventor notified Apple (2002), Google (2006) and Microsoft (2006) of Zeroclick . The Zeroclick invention omitted the element of the click/press from a latest mobile phone or other mobile devices, with the retention of the element’s function. And described superior benefits which have now been proven by Apple, Google and Microsoft all designing software and devices within the scope of the the ZeroClick invention. Thus the removal of the cursor and the click system of a mouse was described by the“whole process relying on movement alone of a finger within a button requiring no pressure” Thus the ZeroClick invention is “What you see is what you get WYSIWYG” touch device but omitted the element of the click with the retention of the element’s function (performing the operation of the click) by movement alone of a finger on touch-sensitive display TSD and all the current PATOS are WYSIWYG touch devices according to the scope and content of ZeroClick.

P2 is US Application Number 15/532,696

P2. Independent touch is a“What you touch is what you get WYTIWYG”. This invention was the omission of the element of visual feedback (135-133) to perform a touch operation 136, with the retention of the functionality of the element’s functionality (the touch operation 142) which the USPTO defines as an indicia of unobviousness. In other words this type of invention the USPTO defines as inventive and non obvious and is instructing the examiners by definition that this type of invention should never be rejected on the grounds of unobviousness.

B. Omission of an Element with Retention of the

Element's Function Is an Indicia of Unobviousness

Note that the omission of an element and retention of its function is an indicia of unobviousness. In reEdge, 359 F.2d 896, 149 USPQ 556 (CCPA 1966)

This clarified that the multi-input touch devices using a graphical appearance on a display with graphical elements on the display to perform operations were all dependent on a graphical image in order to perform touch. The invention was independent touch, touch independent of any dependency on any other input. After the description of P2 comparing the inefficiency of the prior art WYSIWYG method (Fig 13) which is currently used by all PATOS, it showed how every operation or task may be performed by superior properties of WYTIWYG, by giving an example of swipe 516 showing how a device may be unlocked by entering a four digit pin number without requiring any visual feedback (135-133), any other inputs (132), or ever having the display 131 in a state where the TC and the DC was not powered in the PATOS as a whole (i.e. no operation allows the TC not be powered while the device is powered)

P3 is GB1804752.2 filed on 23^rd March 2018

P3 is the first priority document of the current invention. In claim 1 it described the invention of“safe touch” which is defined as an omission of the element (making touch inoperative by removal of all digits from the display (claim 1 (i)) , yet retain the element’s (touch) functionality (operation) by locations” contacted by one or more digits to perform the operation as a different alternative or replacement method to perform the operation. Thus in effect touch is completely performed differently - movement of all digits from the display stops touch from being operative, and then a replacement or alternative method using locations contacted” then perform“the operation” of the touch in a different way. It gives the potential of completely redesigning touch to have numerous unexpected superior properties over the prior art. The most important one being that when all digits are removed from the device the device may be designed to be completely safe from accidental triggering of performing an operation with the inherent superior properties of a WYTIWYG method. Thus this invention redesigns the whole touch interface with the most important touch, the first touch being that the device is safe (inoperative) to touch when in the prior art of PATOS this would make the device inoperative, and then the user could design completely new methods by locations contacted by one or more digits”. It in effect has made the most common method of performing touch by a WYSIWYG method, the movement of a digit on a touch-sensitive screen.

This represents last priority document P4 GB1903847.0 The priority documents from P3 to P4 support the claims of the invention and provide background information to supporting the statements in this specification within the scope of the invention as a whole (claim 1). To keep this specification brief, since the priority documents have already described most of the drawings in this specification, the brief description highlights why each drawing is important, and if more detail is required by the examiner the examiner can read all the priority documents for this information.

The USPTO states that what is well known in the prior art should be preferably omitted in the specification and focus concentrated on what is new over the prior art.. It is assumed that the averagely skilled person would know how every operation in the prior art is performed in PATOS (i.e. any current smartphone , ipad equivalent, computer including a TSD, iwatch equivalent, or any other touch screen device as described in claim 14, in addition knows all the background information within all the priority documents of this application and all the priority documents cited in P1 or the patents of which P1 is a continuation and every correspondence with all the patent offices in the file wrapper of each patent office related to the original PCT document of which P1 is a continuation, Likewise for P2, and all the above priority documents. Thus it is assumed the skilled person has read everything discussed in the priority documents regarding the current Figs, and that is assumed background known by the skilled person.

Definitions

PATOS is a Prior Art Touch Operating System including applications running on the touch operating system which to operate devices including a touch-sensitive display TSD by touch including (the scope of devices in claim 14) represents the current state of the art one day before the filing of this patent pending application, and it includes iOS, Android (Fire is a derivative of Android) , any Microsoft Software capable of being operated by a digit contacting the display, Black Berry Touch

GDA is the area of the display which displays graphics even if at least one of the touch component and the display component extend outside the graphical display area GDA. It is now possible for the GDA to be the entire surface of the device as illustrated in Fig 1 H, however, to show how the current hardware devices can be updated e.g. the Samsung Galaxy Edge, the GDA can be limited to whole anterior surface of the device as shown in Fig 1 B, and as shown in Fig 1 B, the display pixels of the side may not be powered, and thus on area of the sides of the device only the TC of the Samsung Galaxy Edge are powered, i.e. the update of the Samsung Galaxy Edge hardware by software redefines the powerable display component as the anterior display, and the remaining TSD going to the edges becomes in effect a TC of the TSD extending outside the GDA.

WYSIWYG is a“What you see is what you get”. That is the graphical element 135 or graphical appearance determines the operation performed by the inputs of the device. e.g. a display 131 (9) of P2 with the TC01 and DC02 not powered, an input (132) e.g. a button press B1 or voice or rise to wake or proximity sensor or light sensor or fingerprint sensor or volume button or home button all required the display to be powered 133 (the TC01 and DC02 are both powered) so that the touch operation 136 can only be performed dependent on the graphical appearance of the display 134 or the graphical element on the display (e.g. a phone icon tap opens the phone application, and a setting icon tap opens the settings menu). All PATOS are WYSIWYG and they are within the scope of P1.

WYTIWYG is“What you touch is what you get” that is the touch on an invisible keypad on a display (in state 12 in P2) in the imagination of the user on an always on powered touch component TC 141 can perform every operation of the device including a TSD without any visual feedback 133 to 135 or other inputs 132 or the display 131 turned off (TC and DC not powered) while the device is powered. The touch is clarified by this description as having no dependency on steps 131 to 135 of the prior art. The only thing that determined the operation that a user gets is the touch without any dependency on the visual appearance 135 to 133 or other inputs 132 (external button, proximity sensor, or a display powered off 131. The touch operation 142 explicitly determines everything else 143 i.e. at least including one of 131 -135 , whereas the touch operation 136 in the WYSIWYG is inoperative without the graphical element 133-135 , and the other inputs 132, and the TSD powered off 131. Thus P2 the WYTIWYG 142 method, has the capacity of performing both touch operation 136 (as this is currently the way the standard PATOS operates, and the setting menu can allow the PATOS software to operate exactly according to the method of the device before the update (thereby the USPTO instruct the skilled person knows this information so“preferably the new patents omit what was known by a skilled person” )

Analogous and Reasonably Pertinent Prior Art

The inventor invented P1 , which is the element of omission of a click/press with the retention of the element’s functionality. Thus in the prior art before P1 every mobile phone required a press on the TSD to perform an operation on the mobile phone. E.g. the Ericsson R380.

The inventor invented P2, which is the element of omission of any dependency in a performing a touch operation 136 (e.g. at least steps 131 -135 were essential to perform an operation in the prior art as a whole), and independent touch performs an operation in the invention as a whole independent to all the dependent steps yet retains all the element’s functionality. The nearest prior art to the current invention is P2 and if the skilled person compares the flow diagram of Fig 10 to Fig 14 of P2 the skilled person will see that the touch operation 142 in Fig 14 now is prevented from being operable by the steps 142 a (i.e. step 1 (i) ) and instead a different method of step 142 b (step 1 (ii)) perform the touch operation 142 of Fig 14 and thereby perform every operation 143. Thus this invention is a WYTIWYG interface in the same way that P2 was a WYTIWYG interface i.e. the touch operation 142 determines the graphical appearance and everything else 143 of the device (i.e. only touch without any visual feedback 135 -133, or other inputs 132 or a display with the TC powered off 131 of the PATOS). Thus this current invention is a further invention based on the new concept of independent touch - that is touch is a computer language of its own (accessible by an invisible keyboard) by which the fully operation of a PALD using a PATOS, based only on a predetermined movement of one or more digits on the TC to perform the operation. This was unknown and a radical omission of elements (131 -135 to perform the prior art as a whole) i.e. from the PATOS which required at least a graphical element 135 to determine the touch operation 136 in the prior art.

The invention as a whole

The current claim 1 has been reworded to the preferred EPO and USPTO format by using the convention“characterized by”.

Claim Construction is the broadest reasonable interpretation of the plain and ordinary meaning of the words in claim 1 in the light of the specification. That is the preamble is an essential step and limitation of the claimed invention defining the scope to which this invention is applied in the prior art to which step 1 (i) and 1 (ii) is further instruction applied to the prior art but unknown in the prior art of the preamble.

Thus the invention is an omission (1 (i) ) of an essential element of touch being capable of performing an operation after all digits are removed from the device with the retention of the element’s function (1 (ii) - i.e. the operation made inoperative by 1 (i) is now made operative by 1 (ii).

Brief Description of the Drawings

Fig 0 (i) This shows an image of a pertinent relevant device (iPhone X) in the prior art. The device has a button B1 , which when pressed performs the operation of powering off Poff the device. At the time of the invention it was believed there was no faster way of making the device safe (inoperative) than by pressing the B1 to power off the device.

Fig 0 (i) Prior art shows the fact that when all digits are removed from the TSD of a PATOS that the user can still perform an operation by a digit contacting a TSD at a single location.

Figs 0 (i) shows a PATOS device (the iPhone X) displaying a desktop with no digit on the display yet the user would realise by a touch according to a predetermined movement (1 (i)) the user could tap the phone icon and depending on the timing of the movement of a digit at a single location of the phone icon 2 , the PATOS could perform the operation of a contact (highlighting the icon), hold (contact for a period of time makes the phone icon shake in the iPhone 3G), tap (performs the operation of the graphical representation of the icon e.g. opens the phone application ), and 3 D touch (i.e. the old technology of a press required on all mobile phones before P1 - to access a menu). Thus at least one of these four operation can be performed for every graphical element (phone icon2) by the movement of a single tap after all digits are removed from the display.

Thus the removal of all digits to allow the touch to be operative was essential for any multi-input device using an external button to power on a display with no digits on it. Thus if claim 1 (i) made inoperative the ability of the touch to operate a display when no digits were in contact with the display by updating all the PATOS with this first step would make all the PATOS inoperative to touch if a display was turned on without a digit on the display.

Thus Fig 0 (i) to a skilled person one day before the invention of claim 1 would be teaching that all digits off the display as shown in Fig 0(i) enables a user to perform the touch operation on the display, and on the day of the invention the same Fig 0(i) teaches the opposite that no digits on the display means the display is inoperative to touch (claim 1 (i)). Hence why the USPTO state this type of invention is an indicia of unobviousness or inventiveness.

Thus the source of the invention lies in the recognition of the problem of all the touch devices was that they believed a touch operation of a tap should be available when all digits are removed from the display, when actually a tap performing an operation causes the display to be unsafe (i.e. a user can perform a tap at any time when the display is showing a graphical appearance to perform an operation on the device ). Safe touch is making inoperative the operation of a tap at a single location when no digits were on the display as described in claim 1.

And if becomes obvious from claim 1 , that there is a faster way of making touch inoperative than powering off the display by a button B1 , that is making the touch inoperative immediately when no digits are on the display. Thus this invention can remove the element of requiring a button B1 to make the touch inoperative, yet retaining the functionality of the element (claim 1 (ii)) and also has at least the superior property of perform this element’s function (making the touch inoperative) faster (the moment all digits are removed from the display) rather than having to additionally press a button).

Fig 0 (ii) This shows an image a of a pertinent relevant device (iPhone X) in the prior art. The device has a button B1 , which when pressed performs the operation of powering off Pon the device.

The right thumb is conveniently placed on the button B1 , and the skilled person falsely believed to Pon, the device is the fastest, easiest, most convenient way of operating a touch-sensitive display with no digits on the display to make it operable by touch, whereas this invention discovered the fastest way to make a device inoperable to touch, was to make the display inoperable to touch when no digit was on the display ( 1 (i)), and then make the display operable by 1 (ii). Fig 0 A This shows the click interface, it relied on a graphical display element, and a cursor input from the mouse that moved the cursor the graphical display element, and then a button press which directed a click input where the cursor was on the display. Thus this required three elements a graphical element, a cursor and a click input (press on a touch screen which performed all operations in the latest mobile phones) otherwise the interface was inoperative .

Fig 0 B This shows the ZeroClick interface. This is an omission of a click/press element which would make the prior art Microsoft or Apple interface inoperative (try operating Windows with a mouse with broken mouse buttons) and this interface omitted the click and the cursor as necessary to perform an operation rather the finger may directly perform the operation without requiring pressure, thus the click interface pressure screen was simplified to a movement alone of a finger requiring no pressure, omitting the click input by requiring just movement of a finger related to a graphical element while retaining the element’s function performing the operation of the click which the USPTO defined as an indicia of obviousness.

Fig 0 C This shows independent touch of P2 which omitted the need of the element of visual feedback required in P1 while retaining the element’s functionality by performing the operation of the element by using just a predetermined movement of one or more digits on a touch component of a display without any requirement for visual feedback. The worked example is performing an unlock by entering a pin number by a swipe 516 without the display being powered, and by that invisible numberpad or the other invisible numberpads or keypads in Fig 5 B to 5E these invisible keypads allowed a user to perform touch without any visual feedback to operate every operation of the PATOS without any visual feedback 135 -133 or other inputs 132 or a powered off TSD 131 , thus by the omission of all these elements of steps 131 -135 without which the touch operation 136 was inoperative from at least an unpowered TC and DC of the TSD in the locked state without all those steps.

Fig 0D This is the current invention which made touch inoperative on a display when no digits were on the display (thus Fig 0D) shows the inventive step of a digit off the display making the display inoperative when , making all prior art PATOS inoperative to touch by this first step (claim 1 (i)), the retention of the functionality of the touch by claim 1 (ii))

Thus this invention discovered the source of the PATOS programming that when all digits were lifted off in the PATOS commercial software, or P1 performing the start sequence, or P2 being able to perform a swipe 2 on Fig 2BA which showed a desktop Fig 2BB which was still completely operative when all digits were removed from the TSD. This invention omitted this step making the prior art instantly inoperative by Fig 1 (i) and then devised a different way the element’s functionality (i.e. the ability of the TSD to perform an operation after all digits were removed in the prior art) was performed by locations touched by a digit or digits on the TSD).

Fig O E This shows the hardware and software instructions of the prior art device which can make P1 , P2 and PATOS operative by movement alone of a finger to perform an operation.

Fig O F This shows a diagram of all the different parts of a Prior Art Lockable (i.e. able to unlock the device with a method similar to the iOS software) Touch Device PALTD showing other inputs 132 of P2 by a microphone, proximity sensor, gyroscopic sensor, external button, volume button that the prior art as a whole (PALTD) or PATOS and designed to perform operations by methods other than having the touch component powered all the time as in P2. Whereas this invention builds on the prior art of P2 where the user only needs the TC to fully operate all operations by a predetermined movement of a digit or digits on the TSD alone without any other inputs 132 of P2.

Fig OH This shows one embodiment described in the priority documents of how a device may be entirely covered with a TSD so the whole shape of the device is a TSD and the device could be operated by a predetermined movement of one or more digits on the TSD covering the whole surface of the device. Currently there would be joins but these may be reduced and virtually eliminated by careful design. Fig OH describes one way how the device may be covered, and by this method jewellery responsive to touch e.g. a pendent may be made.

Fig 1 A This shows original Fig 1 A in P3 , but since this was configured in the prior art manner of the Samsung Galaxy Edge namely despite all digits off the display the Samsung edge could perform touch on the display to perform an operation and the touch was not made inoperative by all the digits being removed from the TSD of the device, which is the opposite function to claim 1 (i).

The key aspect of claim 1 is that the preamble using the word“touch component” clarifies the device may operate the whole scope by a user input of the touch on a TC at least by the invisible keypad of P2, and provide backwards compatibility to the full scope of P2, P1 (which includes within its scope all PALTD and PRD and PATOS)

Fig 1 (i) or Fig 1 B This shows an image of the pertinent relevant device PRD in the prior art like the Samsung Edge, which has screen that curves around the left and right edge of the device in portrait mode which has been updated to the step 1 (i) of claim 1.

The important aspect of this Fig 1 (i) is that it illustrates step 1 (i) of claim 1 , which is unknown in the prior art , that is the device is inoperative when no digits are detected in contact with the GDS (desktop), compare PRIOR ART Fig 1A and PRIOR ART Fig 0 (i) which has the opposite functionality of the prior art displays being able to perform touch to perform an operation on these displays. Thus when the TSD detects a first touch of no digits in contact with the display or GDA (desktop only displayed on anterior surface of the device within the larger area of the DC which in the Samsung Edge goes down the sides of the device) , the device becomes inoperative (either completely (claim 2 xv) or partially claim 2 xvi) ) to inputs by the user and the complete inoperative state the device is completely unresponsive to the original predetermined movement of the prior art PMofPA to perform an operation.

Thus if a user tries to perform any operation on the device after the detection of the first touch (i.e. all digits removed from the device) all user inputs are inoperative in the completely inoperative mode (claim 2 xv) , including all other inputs e.g. pressing any external button or any of the above other user input become inoperative.

This shows the invention of safe (making the device inoperative by) touch. That is by a first touch of all digits removed from the TC of the TSD (but may also be embodied by removed from the GDA ) this make the device inoperative, until a second touch.

The step (ii) of claim 1 is illustrated by

Fig 2(i) or Fig 1 c this illustrates the second touch which make the device operative. The user is touching the TC of the TSD outside the GDS (desktop) on the right side of the device. The initial contact of the right thumb RT does nothing and the device is inoperative from the first touch. However, if a user performs a sequence of locations of one or more digits e.g. a movement of the RT upward (i.e. towards the top of the device in portrait mode) 2a this makes the device operative, and e.g. the equivalent of moving the RT from S00 to S01 in Fig 1 C, this then makes the PRD operative and the user can use the GDA (desktop or any other graphical display) in the conventional way of the prior art while the digit is in contact with the device and does not move downwards past the S00.

However, in this embodiment if the user lifts the RT off the display from an upward position, then the device become inoperative according to claim 1 (i) but the display is still powered on enabling the user to have the display on e.g. be able to view the display without the device being operative to touch, however, the user moves the digit below S00 this will power off the DC of the TSD and also make the device inoperative.

In this state the TC of the TSD as described in P2 is powered (either completely or partially (e.g. in the future to conserve power the TC may be devised that only an area e.g. the RUCA may be powered as described in P2 and only when a specific predetermined movement is performed that the remainder of the TC is powered). The arrow 2b indicates that movement of a slide from the initial touch position of the RT downwards a certain distance to power off the display and make the device inoperative.

If the user removes the RT while the DC of the TSD is powered off the device remains inoperative and the DC of the TSD looks identical to the locked or powered off appearance of the PRD (Fig 0(ii)), and may be completely safe (inoperative to all inputs including all PMofPA) until a second touch occurs i.e. a sequence of locations e.g. 2a is performed.

Fig 1 u iPhone (Prior Art Multi-input Touch Device) operated by a PATOS (iOS) are operative by at least touch and a power button when all digits (represented by digit 0) are removed from the TSD. Despite the digit 0 been removed from the display the predetermined movement PM of PM01 of a tap of phone icon 2 performs the operation of opening the phone application in the iOS with no digits in contact with the display), likewise despite no digits on the display the PATOS can perform an operation by the digit 0 of slide or swipe PM02 on the desktop or perform an operation by button B1 to turn off the display and make the desktop inoperative -and all these operations in the PRIOR ART are possible without a digit being in contact with the display, in contrast this invention makes the operation by touch (and in dependent claims make the entire device) inoperative.

Fig 1 L This shows the TSD with no digits on the TSD on the identical device according to claim 1 , and claim 1 (i) makes the device (including any PALD or PRD) inoperative to touch on the TSD and may make the device completely inoperative (Claim 2 xv) by all other user inputs input (e.g power off button B1 , rise to wake, proximity sensor, microphone (voice), gyroscopic method (e.g. portrait or landscape mode, wrist action of a watch turning the watch display, light sensor or any other user input apart from touch on the TC 141 ). Thus the diagram marks the TSD with an X to indicate the step of the first touch has happened namely no digits have been detected on the TSD and the TSD is inoperative to touch (e.g PM01 , PM02 and all other touch previously available on the GDS in Fig 1 U) to perform the operation, and show the B1 with an X to indicate that it is also inoperative according to claim 2xv.

Fig 2U This shows the device is inoperative to perform the operation by the X on the TSD by a first touch of removing all digits the touch-sensitive display, and an X indicates the device may be completely inoperative to other inputs than touch by an X on B1 until a SOL2 is performed.

Fig 2L This shows the device is operative to perform the operation of the touch by a second touch of locations SOL2 contacted by movement of the digit or digits on the display. Every operation by touch was made inoperative on the GDS by the first touch in Fig 2U as shown by the X on the display. In order to make all the available operations by touch operative on the GDS the user needs to perform the SOL2. The SOL2 is a left thumb LT slide from S00 to S01 to make operative the touch to perform operations on the GDS by using the predetermined movement by the right hand digit or digits RD/s. Thus the touch is performed exactly with the same predetermined movement as in a prior art by the RD/s, except it needs to have a sequence of locations of a left thumb slide from S00 to S01 and for the LT to remain in contact on the side of the device to make operative the operation of the touch made inoperative by the first touch. If the LT is removed from the side while the digit in contact is nearer the top of the phone than S00 then this makes the GDS inoperative to touch but the display continues to show the graphical appearance, if the user slides downwards (away from the top) lower than sOO (in a version that had no B1 ) and removes the digit the DC would be powered off, and the touch would be inoperative. These figures illustrate that the locations” of the second touch may be of the type of multitouch locations”, that is the locations are of the type of one hand digit contacting a specific location or locations on the TC of the TSD and another digit of the other hand performs the predetermined movement to perform the operation and thereby performs the operation by locations” of the second touch.

Fig 3U This shows the device is inoperative to perform the operation by the X on the TSD by a first touch of removing all digits the touch-sensitive display, and an X indicates the device may be completely inoperative to other inputs than touch by an X on B1 until a SOL3 is performed. This drawing illustrates in particular that a touch of a predetermined movement of a tap on the phone icon 2 was made inoperative by the first touch, thus in Fig 0(i) or Fig 1 A in a prior art the user would perform the predetermined movement of the tap on the phone icon 2 and it would be operable when no digits were in contact with the TSD but now because the first touch has made this tap inoperable, Fig 3L explains how the second touch of claim 1 can make it operable.

Fig 3L This shows a second touch of locations SOL3 contacted by movement of the digit or digits on the display to make operative the operation (of the touch of the tap PM21 in a prior art). The SOL3 is the combination of an additional area 1 tapped (PM20) followed by the predetermined movement of the touch (i.e. PM21) , and thereby all the different operations of any GDS can be performed by this sequence of locations of first tapping the RUCA (PM20) [i.e. thus the second touch of locations” to perform the operation is a tap (but may be a contact or hold) of an additional location (e.g. RUCA 1) + performing the predetermined movement in order to perform the original operation of the predetermined movement which was made inoperative by no digit contact detected on the TSD.] . Thus SOL3 as a generalised rule is the locations” of the second touch comprising an additional location (or locations contacted, held or tapped ) + the predetermined movement to perform the operation made inoperable by the first touch. Thus the omitted element (original touch or predetermined movement of one or more digits performing the operation) made inoperative by the first touch, has retained the elements functionality (the operation performed by locations touched where one or more locations are touched before performing the predetermined movement of the touch in order to perform the operation)

Fig 4U As described in Fig 3U, except Fig 4L explains how the second touch of claim 1 can make it operable.

Fig 4L This shows a second touch of locations SOL4 contacted by movement of the digit or digits on the display to make operative the operation (of the touch of the tap PM21 in a prior art). The SOL4 is the locations” of the second touch of a combination of additional locations (RUCA contacted by PM22 and the slide over locations to the phone icon 2) followed by the removal of the digit from the TSD within the phone icon (PM23) [i.e. thus the second touch of locations” to perform the operation is a swipe between an initial location (e.g. RUCA ) and the destination tap location (PM21) for the second touch to perform the operation of the touch made inoperative by the first touch. Thus the locations” of this second touch to make operable the operation of the touch is a swipe from an additional locations to the location of the predetermined movement (e.g PM21) to perform the operation previously performed in a prior art when the first touch was unknown.

Fig 5U The predetermined movement made inoperable by the first touch is PM23 i.e. the sequence of four taps of a task of entering a pin number on the passcode GDS, and Fig 5L explains how the second touch of claim 1 can make it operable.

The SOL5 is the locations” of the second touch of a combination of an additional location tapped (RUCA tapped by PM20) followed by the performance of the predetermined movement of a task PM23 of entering 4 pin numbers of a passcode [i.e. thus the second touch of locations” to perform the operation of the task of entering a passcode is tapping the RUCA by PM20 (but it could be holding or contact of one digit while another digits performed PM23) + performing (PM23) for the second touch to perform the operation of the touch made inoperative by the first touch. Thus the locations” of this second touch to make operable the operation of the touch is teaching that a task made inoperative by the first touch (i.e. user presses the mechanical button 1 on the iphone in P2 in Fig 2AA and a passcode graphical display screen GDS is shown, and the whole task of entering a passcode by a predetermined movement of PM23 is made inoperative by the first touch of claim 1 ) can now be made operative by locations where the movement of the digit and digits comprising the locations was a movement to an addition location (e.g. RUCA 1) followed by the movement of the task (PM23).

[Indeed in a very advanced program where every task sequence (e.g. an series of inputs or operations to perform a task like entering a passcode) is known on every screen than anything that involves locations e.g. PM23 could become the locations” of the second touch i.e. if the user typed in three numbers then touched somewhere else on the display which was not a number the locations” as the predetermined movement tapping four locations for the second touch would then be inoperative until the four locations are tapped again - thus the options of the locations to be the locations of the task as orginally performed in the prior art (PM23) is available -i.e. the locations of the second touch is identical to the locations of the predetermined movement PM23 is another option for the locations of the second touch” but this section is in brackets because it is complex and needs thought of the examiner to understand it - and it requires a more complex level of programming which is obvious but time consuming.]

Fig 6U The predetermined movement made inoperable by the first touch is entering a task of (entering text (e.g. Hi) + tapping send) , and Fig 6L explains how the second touch of claim 1 can make it operable.

Fig 6L The SOL6 is the locations” of the second touch of a combination of an additional initial location tapped (RUCA tapped by PM20) followed by the performance of the predetermined movement of a task of (entering text (e.g. Hi) + tapping send) followed by a subsequent location tapped (LUCA3). [i.e. thus the second touch of locations” to perform the operation of the task is tapping the RUCA by PM20 (but it could be holding or contact of one digit while another digit performs the task of (entering text (e.g. Hi) + tapping send) ) + performing the task of (entering text (e.g. Hi) + tapping send) + tapping a subsequent location (LUCA 3) to perform the operation of task made inoperative by the first touch. Thus the locations” of this second touch to make operable the operation of the touch is teaching that a task made inoperative by the first touch can now be made operative by locations where the movement of the digit and digits comprising the locations was a movement to an addition initial location (e.g. RUCA 1) followed by the predetermined movement of the task (entering text (e.g. Hi) + tapping send) + .confirming the task was entered corrected by tapping a subsequent location, and thereby never perform a task that was not confirmed as intentionally entered. Thus making the device more safe by preventing any error by a task been not intentionally entered. The additional location (e.g. the LUCA3 makes unintentional errors less) in performing a task. And by the above description it becomes obvious that this method gives an opportunity to unsend a message before it has been sent, which is a useful safety method of preventing unintentional error.

Fig 7U The predetermined movement made inoperable by the first touch is performing a task of a task menu illustrated by the task menu of Fig 6A in P2., and Fig 6L explains how the second touch of claim 1 can make it operable.

Fig 7L The SOL6 is the locations” of the second touch of a combination of an additional initial location tapped (RUCA tapped by PM20) followed by the performance of the predetermined movement of performing the task of a task menu of Fig 6A in P2 followed by a subsequent location tapped (LUCA3). [i.e. thus the second touch of locations” to perform the operation of the task is tapping the RUCA by PM20 (but it could be holding or contact of one digit while another digit performs the task of the task menu) + performing the task of the task menu + tapping a subsequent location (LUCA 3) to perform the operation of task made inoperative by the first touch. Thus the locations” of this second touch to make operable the operation of the touch is teaching that a task made inoperative by the first touch can now be made operative by locations where the movement of the digit and digits comprising the locations was a movement to an addition initial location (e.g. RUCA 1) followed by the predetermined movement of the task + .confirming the task was entered corrected by tapping a subsequent location, and thereby never perform a task that was not confirmed as intentionally entered. Thus making the device more safe by preventing any error by a task been not intentionally entered. The additional location (e.g. the LUCA3 makes unintentional errors less) in performing a task. And by the above description it becomes obvious that this method gives an opportunity to unsend a message before it has been sent, which is a useful safety method of preventing unintentional error.

Now as described before the task menu using the new touch of claim 6A has described the fastest know way of selecting one option per menu item by a slide or swipe for an unlimited number of task menu items. A medical demonstration reducing the task menu of P2 to practice was shown to NHS England, and a video sent to the supervisor examiner of P2, confirming the fact that a swipe performing a task may be 5-20x faster than tapping the same sequence and that is why the task of 516 entering a passcode (or any other task operation) by a swipe is the fastest way of entering a passcode to unlock a device. By arranging the task to be performed similarly to Fig 6A will provide the fastest performance of the task. Now safe touch enables this invention to also never be entered by accident or unintentionally or unsafely by requiring a preceding and/or addition location the user has to contact in order to prevent unsafe or accidental error of a task, and the additional extra slide or tap would take a fraction of the time to undo than if the task was performed incorrectly and the task had to be undone.

Fig 7. This shows a perspective view of 6B of P2. The RUCA 1 is the BL which has to be tapped to make the device operative and then the user could operate the task menu as described in P2 (it is assumed the whole document of P2 is incorporated and any other disclosures by the inventor at patent offices e.g. amended claims and specification of P2 at the EPO on 15/1/18). A task menu was a method by a single slide on the display from may perform a series of operation of a task by choosing one or more options of an operation for each item of the task menu until the digit reached the last item of the menu. E.g. by performing a slide on Fig 6B according to the path of the arrow from a display screen which had the DC of the TSD unpowered but the TC of the TSD able to detect the touch (when the equivalent prior art device would have had both the TC and the DC of the TSD unpowered and completely inoperable to touch) the user was able to select an operation Yes for first data element, No for second data element , Uncertain for third data element, then save those selected operations and then return to a locked stated of the device in the invention of P2 where the DC of the TSD was not powered but the TC of the TSD was able to detect touch.

Indeed P2 stated this was the fastest known way of performing a task (i.e. a group of operations which has one or more possible options selectable for each operation in sequence which as a whole represents a task) of operations on a large number of items i.e. the user could in Fig 6AA and 6AB by performing a slide down Fig 6AA and then up Fig 6AB and so on if the elements by a similar method for numerous further pages of N elements. Thus this revealed for any task i.e. any series of questions or procedures or operations in a sequence that needed one or more options selected for each item or operation of the task , and the task could be of N elements where N could be a very large number, this was the fastest way of entering data.

Indeed for a medical application or indeed any business application which requires data entry or a series of computer operations to be performed in sequences with specific options for each operation or data element this method revealed the height of efficiency. Indeed in subsequent trials after P2 it was revealed that a user can select twenty options on a larger screen than a mobile phone and in the priority documents showed selected each of these options by a tap is approximately 10 x slower than selecting the same options by a swipe, and the larger the number of options needed to be selected, the slower and more tiring it is to perform the operations, because with the slide the user is able to rest a digit continually on the display and if the user goes upwards the user can undo the selected items if wrong. The task menu is also flexible in that if the user in Fig 6B had performed 60 to 64 and then decided that the answer to 61 should be No the user could just tap the No on the operation or date element and then tap save in 65 to resave the change. Thus the user has plenty of flexibility to perform a swipe fast e.g. instead of 5 elements could swipe 20 on an ipad quickly in under 1 second (i.e. if the choices were mainly nearly all one column of the options - which would occur often in medicine if the information was organised according to a clinical state of diagnosis for an option column , yet there always would be exceptions i.e. one or two answers which were unexpected (because life rarely is simple) - and thus in a few second 20 elements of data could be recorded for a medical condition.

This method therefore provides a method for the future of medicine. Each condition or each procedure in medicine requires a doctor for diagnosis to specify a task of questions , and examination finding and investigation finding , and each of these could be designed for every known disease or every known protocol in medicine. Then by providing this is a task menu which can enter this information in a few seconds provides a method at least 20x faster than any other medical recording system.

Likewise similar protocols could be developed for every business task, and all these tasks menus may be rapidly built using an interpretative language that could build the task from a list of text with an element heading on one line, and a second line with the list of options for each element , and then this could be rapidly built from a text file - with the interpretive language being able to assign codes to each of the elements (to either perform operations or record the findings related to text). Thus if the database of the NHS spine had all these lists for every condition or protocol only centrally updated this would require easy maintenance and in effect make every consultation using a task as a database which could accurately compare every patient with a similar condition, because the task of questions, clinical findings, managements for each condition would be standardized. Thus the NHS spine becomes a live research tool, and very soon the research will prompt more and more accurate protocols or task menus as described in P2. In the same way businesses will have a means that all data collected about any business matter is collected in a uniform manner, and again the results of the collected data will lead to better task menus of one or more options selectable for every element of the task which provide more relevant data - and in medicine that would mean better treatment and better diagnosis as the protocols evolve. Thus everything will be entered in a standard way.

It is this context that safe touch is highly relevant as doctors have to visit patients on ward rounds in hospital (or many different sites in general practice) and indeed each area of the country has slightly different protocols for the same tasks, many on paper based systems. This new protocol will allow one location e.g. the NHS spine for all the task menus. Indeed it is estimated that nearly half the time of doctors and nurses is wasted on inefficient data recording meaning millions of pounds of NHS revenue is being paid for inefficient data recording time rather than helping patients. Overnight this system of P2 enhanced by safe touch can rapidly and safely improve the recording time. P2 and subsequently have clarifies that entering data on a task menu as described in P2 is the fastest known way. However, preventing errors is essential especially in medical recording so safe touch makes it much less likely for errors to occur. If speed is required the P2 can be performed as described in P2 without alteration as obviously from Fig 6B in P2 the arrow shows a SOL and therefore after the first touch making the device inoperable the SOL may be the original task menu sequence. Thus under safe touch any task menus designed to be operable by a slide or swipe (which all of them may be designed to ) may operate as the second touch of a SOL identical to the original SOL of the task menu. Indeed since the filing of P2 if a user preferred to operate multiple pages instead of moving up and down in a continuous swipe as shown in Fig 6AA to Fig 6AB. The user could swipe downward by one swipe for each page i.e. as described in Fig 6AA but when the user got to the element below the 4^th element, the user would lift off the display and that swipe would cause the next items on the next page view Fig 6AB of the task menu to appear in a reverse downward order i.e. the 5^th element would be the top element of the view shown in Fig 6AB and the Nth element would be bottom element. And the user could then swipe the 5^th to Nth element in a downward motion. This has the advantage even though it requires one swipe per view , of being able to read each page in a downward direction, and there were several more pages than Fig 6AB the user would just continue to swipe downwards to one element lower that the last data element and lift off and that would show the next pages in downward order and thereby all operations. The user may even have a conventional slider control or other navigational means so could at the end of the swiping view all the entries entered in the task menu.

Now having discussed all this as background to the normal operation of the task menu described in P2, this shows how the locations may improve the task menu described in P2 by using a an BL 1 and and EL2. The SOL 7 shown in Fig 7 shows an initial tap of the BL 1 (RUCA) or PM20 and then the user may initiate the identical swipe movement as shown in Fig 6BB and the user then lifts the finger off 65 in Fig 6B which would have turned the display off but the display may not be turned off until the EL3 is tapped. Thus this is safer than the method shown in Fig 6B in that the user can read and check the display of Fig 6B before the display is turned off, and although this may not be necessary for checking only 5 elements of the task e.g. 61 to 65, if the user was using the elements with a structure of a table 1 below for twenty or more elements it would be very important not to immediately cause the display to be turned off when the user hit the last row displayed on a page. And SOL3 requires the EL 3 to be tapped and only then wold the display being turned off. Until the EL 3 is tapped the SOL7 has not been completed so the operation of the SOL7 i.e. the task menu cannot be completed until EL3 is tapped furthermore the BL 1 allows the user o cancel the SOL7 by tapping it, as then the SOL7 is not completed as specified. Thus it is easy to see how is safer by having a SOL7 which include the user using the task menu as normal but may require one more location EL3 to be tapped in order for the user to read whether all the entries are correct. Table 1 , Table 2 , Table 3 may be a replacement view on a larger device than that shown on the GMS

Table 1

Table 2

This illustrates how the task menu (only showing the first and last elements on each view) may be operated by a series of downward swipes e.g. the user swipes all option 2 and then moves to the navigation row , which when the digit is removed causes the next page view in Table 3 the user then could move to the next page view element 41 to 60 or 41 to N by the finger been removed in the navigation row in any of Option 1 , 2 or 3 columns. However if the user move the digit in the last navigation row to the first column and removed the digit from this first column in the navigation row this would return the view to table 2. The task column may also have a traditional slider and by placing the finger on the slider area (highlighted— -) the user could by scrolling upward see the first page view of the task menu or by scrolling downward the last page view. And then the EI3 requirement of requiring an end location of the SOL7 becomes obviously useful as this allows the user to select and correct by tapping any of the 60 elements of a task so the user can be sure it is correct when the user finally taps on EI3.

Table 3

Thus it can be appreciated that when the task menus are significantly longer for some medical recording tasks it is important that the task can be performed in a few seconds for numerous task elements , but also very important all the data can be rapidly checked. [In this embodiment the elements are organised to perform a downward swipe for each page, as described above as it is easier to read downwardly and quicker to perform].

Fig 8 this shows an unlock on a safe device. The above examples shows the variety of possible different ways of a SOL making the inactive or inoperative device operative in a user friendly backward compatible manner to the prior art. Fig 8 shows how fast using an unlock method described in P2 according to the method of safe (inoperable when all digits are removed from the display) touch of this current invention.

Fig 8 shows the device as shown in Fig 2BA with the TC of the TSD operative but the DC of the TSD powered off in P2 . The device has been updated to safe touch (i.e. the display becomes inoperative by a first touch when no digits are on the display). The user then performs the same tap within BL 1 on the powered off DC of the TSD. (i.e. PM20 as shown in Fig 3) as shown on the top picture, this embodiment causes the display to be Pon and shows the last GDS used by the user e.g. the desktop. The user then can complete the SOL8 an operation e.g. PM21 on the icon 2 and the BL 1 + PMofPA (PM21 on icon 2) then performs the operation of the PMofPA (open the phone icon). Thus this shows how by only at least two locations touched the device may be unlocked from an unpowered DC of the TSD (i.e. appearance of 9 in Fig 2BA and 2BC) to power on the desktop as shown in 2BB of P2 where the second location is the normal PMofPA to perform the operation in the PA. And in this configuration if the user taps the RUCA 1 again as an EL1 in the below device to power off the display . Thus the device may be powered from an unpowered DC to be powered and shown the GDS by a BL 1 tap and perform an operation of a displayed GDS (e.g. the desktop) , and then the DC of the TSD is poff by the EL1. Thus in effect the device operates completely in the conventional way of the PRD of the PATOS, but is also operating according to the method of safe (making the device inoperative (fully or partially) when all digits not detected in contact with the GDS as the first touch .

Thus this provides a very rapid way of safe touch where the unlock and lock can be simply a tap on the RUCA and the user then can perform any operation of the PMofPA in the conventional manner.

Fig 8U This shows how a device may be unlocked in P2 by a tap within a RUCA 1 area by PM20, this shows that the first touch is only making some operations inoperative by touch by no digits on the display because the user is allowed to power on the display by PM20 by tapping PM20 and power off the display by repeat tapping 20. Thus this invention is operating according to the currently amended latest claims of P2, by a single tap in the RUCA being able to power on the display and power off the display by a single tap. Thus this is showing how by making the touch inoperable to only certain operations i.e. not the tap unlock of P2 described above, there is full ability of the user to integrate the first touch for only some operations and leave other operations like the tapping of the RUCA to unlock and show a display which is partially operative to the first touch, as described in Fig 8L

Fig 8L This shows a second touch of locations SOL8 which can use the unlock tap in the RUCA (PM20) as the first tap contacted by movement of the digit or digits on the display to make operative the operation (of the touch of the tap PM21 in a prior art). The SOL8 is the combination of an additional area 1 tapped (PM20 which has also been used from an unlock display) followed by the predetermined movement of the touch (i.e. PM21 ) , to perform the operation of the PM21 in a prior art. Thus this demonstrates that the method of unlocking is as fast as P2 in that it by a single tap can access the operations of P2 but it still using the sequence of the unlock as a first tap in a RUCA (PM20) followed by the predetermined movement of the prior art (PM21 ) for the locations of the second touch where the single operation of the unlock is not operated according to the first touch i.e. in the setting menu the unlock of a tap of P2 to show the display according to the current amended claim 1 of P2 is not made inoperative (so the first touch has the option to make some operations not inoperative by the first touch to provide backward compatibility to one or more operation of the prior art with full backward compatibility been a setting that puts the PATOS to operate as in the prior at e.g. according to the original manner with the prior art iOS software. Thus this example via options in a setting menu could allow one or more operation e.g. navigation functions when reading an ebook and other functions not to be deactivated by a first touch , however, the method can always be arranged as described in claim to have the capacity that all operations are deactivated by the first touch of claim 1. Thus this example shows how by making one operation not inoperative (i.e. the unlock by the tap of P2) by the first touch the desktop can be accessed as fast as P2, but in addition accessed safer than P2, because the unlock i.e. the PM20 becomes part of the locations of the second touch” i.e. the phone icon 2 is not operated by just a PM21 , but rather an unlock of PM20 + PM21 to perform the operation of opening the phone icon 2. Thus if the user touches anywhere else on the display other than a PM01 or PM02 movement i.e. taps the desktop by accident the user would then need to perform the sequence of locations PM20 +PM21 to perform the operation of the phone application, whereas in the prior art the user would just tap 21 in the prior art. Thus this example shows how this invention can be used selectively (i.e. not for the one operation of the unlock operation ) to enable the same speed of unlocking as P2 but also the increased safety that if an accidental touch occurs which is not exactly the locations” of the second touch e.g. suddenly holding the desktop in a rush to a train station after unlocking the desktop screen by the RUCA, the current invention would be perfectly safe but the prior art may perform an unintentional operation. Thus this shows that using the two location system to perform an operation can be as fast as the original unlocking of P2 but also safer because if the exact locations are not performed then the operation cannot be performed.

Fig 9 U This shows a user tapping the unlock in P2 in a RUCA 1 as described in Fig 8 to show a desktop when this unlock tap is not deactivated by the first touch but is operating in the normal way (i.e. illustrating backward compatibility to the single operation of the unlock). The only difference is that this shows a passcode GDS. Fig 9L then shows how the locations of the second touch” can perform a passcode using a different sequence of locations.

Fig 9L. The preceding figures have shown that the locations may be a simultaneous locations Fig 2L to perform the operation, a sequence of locations with an additional location touched prior to the predetermined movement to perform the operation, a subsequent location in addition to the predetermined movement e.g. LUCA3 to perform the operation (not described but obvious from the description of requiring both an additional initial location RUCA 1 and end location LUCA to perform a task of a texting, or performing a menu. Now this example is showing the person that the sequence of locations does not need the PM to be a part of the locations” but can be a completely different movement e.g. PM 27 can perform the entering of the passcode after the PM20 has displayed the passcode screen from Fig 9U, instead of the prior art method of PM23. Thus Fig 9L is showing that the locations may be different movement of a digit like PM23 is different (series of taps) and PM27 is a swipe. Obviously the locations” could be any different location to perform the operation but the above descriptions have been done to show how simple rules of thumb related to the predetermined movement e.g. Fig 3U and Fig 3L has the simple rule of thumb that the device is inoperative if you first do not tap the RUCA and then all operations of the device are operable as in the prior art predetermined movement, and the tap in the RUCA could be swapped for a slide or swipe e.g. II and first to be performed and then perform the operation as normal. Thus making every operation a two step process making it impossible for unsafe triggering (namely as single contact of a digit against a screen performing an unintentional operation. Indeed a swipe 11 required for all operations first before performing any operation on any visual screen would be easy to remember and ver safe and because it would get the swipe 11 into the subconscious it would be still a very fast way of operating a device but the best bit would be that the user at any time in a rush could hold or grip the phone in a single location and never need to worry about performing an unintentional error, and for double security if a user held the phone they could slide across to the edge of the screen and that predetermined movement of slide to edge could give additional safety of making inoperative any touch operation. Thus with this invention users will become more confident at holding their phones and putting them in a pocket with the display screen on as they will know that unless at least two locations are touched (i.e. locations touched) then no operation could happen.

Fig 10 This shows a flow diagram showing how this invention relates to the nearest prior art P2.

This shows the invention operates without any dependency on the steps 131 -135 of Fig 13 in order to perform the touch operation 136 (i.e. any touch operation 136 is inoperative without the steps 131 -135 being first performed as shown in Fig 2AA to 2AC) but only requiring touch 142 on the powered TC 141 of the display in order to perform and determine all operations of the device 143 as shown in Fig 14, but in addition to that described in P2, the current invention requires the additional steps of claim 1 (i) 142a and claim 1 (ii) of 142b in order to perform the touch operation 142 in order to operate everything else.

However, P2 which is independent touch could perform any movement of the digit or digits on the touch-sensitive display without any dependency of steps 131 -135, thus a single contact on a TC could perform an operation without any visual feedback, and in that sense P2 has the greatest capacity to perform operations. The touch operation 142 can emulate all the dependencies of the existing prior art because the touch operation 142 only has one dependency to perform an operation and that is the touch must be on a TC of a TSD and the TC must be powered 141 while the device is powered (always on) and thereby using only the TC all operations of a PATOS can be entered.

Now some examiners who are not technical might find the inventiveness and novelty of this flow diagram not obvious, so the following Y/N statements are provided, so that if the examiner answers any with a N, then the examiner needs to reconsider that point, until the examiner realises that the statement is Y.

Thus the following T/F questions will clarify the non obviousness and novelty of the flow diagram.

1. A prior art as a whole means every operation of the prior art, otherwise the prior art is not been considered as a whole but only as a part. Y/N

2. Thus if the prior art as a whole has one operation which requires any of the steps 131-135 of Fig 13 of P2 in order to perform the touch operation 136 of Fig 13, then it cannot claim that the prior art as a whole performs all operation according to touch operation 142 if one touch operation within the prior art relies on at least one of the steps 131 to 135 of Fig 13 Y/N

3. To discover if the prior art that the examiner is intending to cite has a dependency on an element 131 to 135 in order to perform the touch operation 136, the examiner needs to search the prior art to find if there is one touch operation 136, and if there is then this automatically excludes that prior art from the touch operation 142 which has no dependency (independent touch) on any element 131 to 135. Y/N

4. Now the claim 1 of P2 includes the ability of locking in the prior art in the way that the PATOS (i.e. iPhone and Android and all the other operating software have at least one configuration within the prior art as a whole that a mechanical button 132 may power off the TSD so that the TC and DC are not powered Y/N

5. Thus all PATOS operate at least one operation, the unlock, by the elements 131 to 135 Y/N . This is shown in Fig 2AA -2AD of P2.

6. Thus since the preamble relies only on a TC 141 of Fig 00 to perform an operation according to P2, the nearest prior art cited if it includes any elements of 131 to 135 (when the element 132 is extended to any possible other input the user may use to perform the operation apart from the TC only being powered, and the DC not being powered of the TSD, as this current invention has the capacity to perform all operations of the PATOS at least by the invisible keyboard as described in P2 [0061]. Y/N

7. None of the PATOS describe this and all cited art against P2 in the application of P2 by the examiner

describe all operations operating by only a dependency of touch 142 on a TC 143 at all time while the device is powered to be able to perform everything else 143 by at least only one digit on the display. Y/N

8. Yet using the invisible keyboard in P2 described in [0061] the invisible keyboard can operate all operations only dependent on touch without any visual feedback (135 -133) or any dependency on any graphical appearance on the display. Y/N

9. And this current invention has the capacity to perform touch to operate exactly as the original software with all the dependencies of step 131 -135. Y/N Thus this current invention has the scope of all P2/P1 (and thereby all PATOS which are within the scope of P1) Y/N

10. However in addition this invention has the capacity to make inoperative the device completely every time all the digits are removed from the TSD (i.e. step 1 (ii) of the claimed invention) Y/N

11. Thus by an omission of the element of a removal of all digits from the TSD, the prior art device relies on having the device operative after a removal of all digits from the TSD of at least one operation (e..g the tapping of the desktop icon 2 to open the phone application) when all digits are removed from the TSD. This thereby makes the prior art as a whole (i.e. the prior art cannot claim all operations are operative if the removal of all digits occurs in the nearest prior art of P2) Y/N

12. Thus unless a prior art covers the vast scope of P2, and the increased scope of a first touch in claim 1 (i) then this invention is not anticipated Y/N

13. If the prior art even describes 1- 12 for every operation but then doesn’t exactly described each and every word of step (ii) of claim 1 then the invention is not anticipated Y/N 14. Then the examiner will need to go through each of the dependent clauses in claim 2which explains the scope and content of the first touch (claim 1 (i)) and the second touch (claim 1 (ii) and need to find the scope of each of these dependent claims in the prior art, and if there is one dependent clause not anticipated exactly then the invention would be described as not anticipated by the prior art as a whole Y/N

15. The examiner would need to then examine all the unexpected superior properties which are claimed in dependent claim 3 for the first touch and second touch, and if all these are not anticipated then this invention is unknown Y/N

16. And if the examiner cannot find any single prior art document which anticipates identically the claimed invention, then this invention is not anticipated Y/N and since the USPTO and the US courts have explicitly described that“omission of an element (the omission of operability (i.e. making the operation inoperable as decribed in 1 (i) of a touch operation in P2 when in the prior art when all digits are removed from the TSD that operation remains operable) with retention of an element’s functionality (being able to perform the omitted operation by a different method of“locations contacted by a digit or digits on the TSD”) with superior properties then the USPTO state that this is an indicia of unobviousness Y/N

17. Thus the USPTO and US Courts define the skilled person is unable to make the inventive step of“omission of an element with the retention of the element’s function” because this is by definition the settled gold standard of unobviousness since 1966. Y/N

18. Claim 1 which describes the invention as a whole clearly sets the whole inventive concept for any skilled person could modify the prior art device or PATOS in the preamble to operate by the steps of the instructions of the method of claim 1. Y/N

19. Claim 1 being of the type of an omission of an element with retention of the element’s function is defined as unobvious to the skilled person thus can never be rejected on this ground Y/N

20. Thus if the above invention is not described in a single prior art reference exactly anticipating inherently every word of the claim language the invention is novel (not anticipated) and inventive (nonobvious). Y/N

21. Thus the applicant believes the above invention is an invention, otherwise no invention is inventive because the only type of invention that the USPTO state is an indicia of unobviousness is an omission (when all digits are removed in claim 1 (i) but not in the prior art )of an element (performing an operation in preamble of claim 1) with retention of the element’s functionality

22. Thus if the flow diagram is not anticipated exactly by a prior art document citing the full scope of P2

(invention on which the current invention relies in the preamble) and describing the necessary modification of claim 1 (i) and claim 1(ii) than needs to be applied to the preamble, then this invention is unknown (not anticipated) and by definition by the USPTO cannot be rejected on unobviousness grounds as omission of element with the retention of the element’s functionality requires by definition imagination to see the unobvious which is by definition beyond the capacity of the skilled person as a settled international position since 1966. Y/N

And for the above reasons the applicant believes an average examiner who is following the rules of the MPEP which define unobviousness as this above type of invention in flow diagram Fig 10 will recognise this invention is in allowance if it is not exactly described in a single prior art reference.

Fig 11. This shows the invisible desktop.

The invisible desktop is a blank screen e.g. Fig 2BC of P2. Thus everything shown on the invisible desktop screen is in the imagination of the user.

The invisible desktop will become the more dominant desktop to the conventional desktop because its ability to perform operations is limited only to the mind of the user. The invisible desktop shows 12 different easily identifiable locations which all in the memory of the user may rapidly perform operations without the DC being powered. The user choses from a setting menu functions performable at the twelve different easily identifiable locations. However, since the invisible desktop can be accessed only by a specified movement of at least one of a swipe and slide and contact and removal of a digit or digits and any other predetermined movement of each digit to perform any operation as described in claim 1 it is very safe.

Thus the desktop can be arranged to access every operation of the device by an invisible numberpad, or operations related to the desktop, or user defined operations and below describes a way of performing these operations.

However, it would be appreciated that the scope of using an invisible desktop is limited only be the imagination of the user in accordance with the vast scope of claim 1. Below is some described embodiments.

The desktop is not accessed unless a predetermined movement of locations is performed. The user has to perform locations e.g. the swipe 11 from the RUCA (right upper corner area) to the MUEA (middle upper edge area). This swipe 11 may be substituted by any other locations contacted by the digit or digits to perform the operation to access the invisible desktop. Once this access by the predetermined movement is performed to perform the access to the invisible desktop the desktop then has the following invisible areas which a jump movement from the MUEA to the other areas e.g. LUCA (left upper corner area) , RUCA (right upper corner area), LUEA (left upper edge area) , MUA (middle upper area), RUEA (right upper edge area), LCEA (left centre edge area), centre, RCEA (right centre edge area),LLEA (left lower edge area), MLA (middle lower area), RLEA (right lower edge area), LLCA ( left lower corner area), MLEA (middle lower edge area), RLCA (right lower comer area), and by lifting off from each of these areas after the jump movement enables 11 different operations to be assigned each to one of these areas to perform different operations. Thus by a totally blank desktop a user can operate 11 different assignable functions from the setting menu for each of these locations by a swipe 11 movement and a jump tap movement on one of the 11 other areas apart from the MUEA. Furthermore the functions assignable for this desktop may be different for each different graphical appearance of the display, thus if the invisible desktop is accessed from a blank screen it would perform one group of user assignable operation, and then if the user wished to assign 11 other functions from the desktop appearance of figure 2BB of P2, the same or different operations may be assignable from this specific graphical appearance and each and every different graphical appearance available could have a different assignable group of operations. It would be obvious from this description of the invisible desktop that every operation performable on every graphical appearance could have the normal prior art predetermined movement to perform operations of that graphical screen but then could have by this invisible desktop 11 , other operations by a jump movement after performing the swipe 11. The swipe 11 is chosen for those who would like to use this function, but if a person wanted to use this invisible desktop with less probability of accidental trigger a movement to access the invisible desktop with less probability of accidental triggered may be chosen e.g. the access swipe may requiring a slide movement from the right upper corner area RUCA to the left upper corner area LUCA, or another predetermined movement of“locations” for the user to access the invisible keyboard with less probability of accidental triggering than the swipe 11.

Another use of the invisible keyboard as already shown in P2, it could be used to replace all buttons in the way that button 1 in Fig 2AA was replaced by swipe 2 and swipe in P3. In the same way all the android buttons could be replaced using one of the areas on the invisible keyboard.

A button swipe to initiated access the buttons could be chosen (it may be any swipe but it could be a downward swipe from the RUCA, this initiates the user by the next location touched to touch one of the 12 locations for buttons e.g. the RCEA for controlling the volume button.

The user after the downward swipe from the invisible keyboard RUCA area, then the user can touch the RCEA and slide upward to increase the loudness of the the volume or slide downward to decrease the volume as shown in Fig 12 of P2. If the user wishes to protect his ears then the initial movement always has to be a downward movement and then the user would be allowed to move upward to increase the volume, and by this method protect the users ears, thus to increase volume in a similar manner as shown in Fig 12 of P2, the user in this imaginary embodiment would swipe downwards from the RUCA and then jump to the RCEA and slide initially downward and then upwards to increase the volume of the device. It could be appreciated by using swipes and jumps that all external buttons could be designed to be turned on and off by a combination of slides , swipes and taps on an invisible desktop thus

The standard Android set of buttons at the bottom Home: Back: Menu: Search: Undo; and new functions like Redo;

Notification to show notification screen, etc couid all be access by the imaginary buttons of the desktop by a downward swipe.

The invisible menu could aiso be accessed from any graphical display screen of the device GDS. The user couid perform a swipe from the RLCA upward and this could show two menus as shown in Fig 12, now the capacity of operating these menus may include any of the description of operation within P1 , and indeed by using the two lists it would be appreciated from P1 that hierarchical lists could easily be navigated and selected by a range of predetermined movement. The most straight forward is if the upward movement from RLCA caused the Right Menu or both menus to appear on every different GDS available on the device. Thus the user by this simple swipe movement upwards a certain distance causes the list or lists to appear and the user can navigate using hierarchical means by a slide until on the required menu item and then lift off, thus by a single swipe starting in the RLCA the user can select any option out of millions of possible options by a slide movement backwards and forwards through a heirachical grid, by relatively few movements between two lists, using the methods described in P1 , but a much simpler menu system can be initiated by an upward swipe.

The importance of this description is to show how powerful introducing swipes and slides and taps to access an invisible menu, or the invisible desktop or the invisible numberpad or the invisible keyboard. Ail these important input controls to the device are ail accessible from any GDS of any appearance because the invisible nature of these means that they can be accessible from any appearance of the display because no longer is the touch dependent on performing operations with a certain visible appearance thus these invisible toois now by single swipes from every GDS of any appearance can have an invisible desktop , invisible keyboard , invisible menu , invisible task menu and a whole range of further invisible controls related to each GDS and accessed by a simple swipe e.g a small upward swipe from the RLCA or the swipe 11 shown in P2

These were all available within the invention of P2 and that is why the inventor believes all these invisible controls to be used in addition with ail the visible controls of the GDS is going to become a standard method of operating devices more efficiently when the more able people start using these and finding it is improving their memory and decisiveness. And it is because when using invisible controls and a user becoming distracted that it is important to have a method to deactivate all these controls , and all these controls can be deactivated by a slide to the edge of the GDS in addition to the first safe touch.

Fig 14 Invisible Keyboard This is an alternative invisible keyboard. This keyboard is designed to operate invisibly or visibly.

The user performs a swipe 11 then taps on the LME and this can show the above visible keyboard

The keyboard is invisible but can be visible to train peoples memory to text without seeing any characters. The LT represents the position the person puts their left thumb. And the RT represents where a user places the RT . The LT is positioned roughly centrally on the left half of the display either in portrait or landscape mode. Likewise the RT is positioned roughly centrally of the right half of the display in portrait or landscape mode.

The characters of the alphabet are in groups of 3 above the thumb position. The ABC positioned to the upper left, the DEF upper central and the GHI to the right of the LT thumb position. Likewise the JKL is position to the lower left direction, MNO is positioned to at a lower central direction , and the PQR is position to the right lower direction to the LT. Thus there are six directions the user can move Left Upper Direction (ABC), Upper direction (DEF) , Right Upper direction (GHI) to the left direction (U/L case, the right direction (sp for space), left lower direction (JKL), downward direction (MNO) and right lowerdirection (PQR), and likewise there are the 8 relative directions that each of 3 characters may be positioned as shown simularly around the RT as described regarding the LT.

Thus the user can picture in his mind where ABC is relative to the LT. and thus if the user performs a jump movement from the LT location to a position to the left and upwards relative to the LT this will enter the A keyboard for predictive text and also to enter into the textbox. If the user instead performs an upward swipe in the left upward direction relative to the LT as shown by the upward arrow to the B from the LT then this will enter the B, and if the user performs a downward swipe following the arrow from C to the LT this will enter the C characters. Thus for each of the 8 directions this can allow 3 different digit movements (jump movement for the first character of the three, swipe originating from the LT position for the second character in that direction (e.g. B) , and downward swipe represented by the downward arrow to enter or perform the operation of the third character and in this manner there are 18 different characters easily perfomable (3 for the three directions of 3 characters above the LT and 3 for the directions of 3 characters below the LT and then at there could be 3 further operations for the left and right of the LT and the same for the RT thus 48 different characters can be accessed by this invisible keyboard using 8 different directions of a jump movement (first character) , a swipe from the thumb position (second character) and a swipe to the thumb position (third character ) for each of the 8 directions. Thus this keyboard is a two step keyboard requiring either a jump movement, directional swipe away or directional swipe towards the right thumb. Thus this keyboard may be invisible because the user with practice of imagining the keyboard or practicing with visual feedback until the method has become subconscious, but the entering of the key strokes is also safe. That a single location tap will never perform any operation or enter any keys. Thus this is one way that an invisible keyboard could be arranged to never allow an accidental triggering of entering a character by a single tap. Thus the user could be texting and then have to run for a train holding the key and never wrongly enter a character if holding the screen with a thumb. If the user then touches the screen with larger surface area than the two thumb positions then this also will deactivate performing an operation, as would sliding one thumb contact to the edge of the display. Thus the invisible keyboard could be user without fear that an accidental entering of the wrong character would occur because each character requires at least a direction of two locations to perform an operation.

Invisible/Visible Menu. The user can select menu items by memory a downward swipe can cause a menu to appear the user has a choice to either swipe to move the menu down one page or swipe upwards to move the menu up a page, the user can then perform a swipe in a left direction to select an item or jump to highlight a submenu and show a further submenu and the left swipe executes the submenu element.

Accessing the invisible desktop/ invisible keyboard for user defined operations/ invisible menu from the normal desktop. The user can perform tasks on invisible pages.

Memory gets better with practice, decision making gets better with practice. The lack of visual feedback forces the user of this type of phone to practice and get better at recall just like pelmanism

Accessing the task menu performs operations much faster by swipes than by taps. Thus if most of the operations are performed by a swipe , then the occasional operation can be performed by a tap making the task menu the fastest way of executing a task.

In summary this invention of omission of an element (operability of touch) when all digits are removed from the display , while retaining the functionality of the element by performing the operation by the touch will lead to radical new and improved ways of operating devices in the future.
