PREDICTIVE INPUT SYSTEM FOR TOUCH AND TOUCHLESS DISPLAYS

A device comprising a display, a predictive input system coupled to the display and configured to store zone data indicating zones of the display, wherein each zone constitutes a portion of a display area; store predictive parameter data, wherein each zone is assigned a subset of predictive parameter data, wherein each subset indicates at least one of a look-ahead prediction value that indicates a time period corresponding to how far in the future a predictive user input pertains, an indication of a particular prediction algorithm, or at least one value used by the particular prediction algorithm, and wherein at least two zones of the display have different values for the subsets of predictive parameter data; receive input data via the display; determine the zone in which the input data is received; and generate prediction data based on the input data, the zone data, and the subset of predictive parameter data.
