finally....all android devices will be in Jelly Beans? Yummy! The key part, as pointed out by The Verge’s Nilay Patel, can be found in one of the key elements of the patent:
…determining whether the event object invokes a scroll or gesture operation by distinguishing between a single input point applied to the touch-sensitive display that is interpreted as the scroll operation and two or more input points applied to the touch-sensitive display that are interpreted as the gesture operation Notice the part in bold? That sentence restricts Apple’s patent to implementations where one finger is an anchor and the movement of the other one is what the device uses to create the zoom animation. Allow both fingers to move apart to perform the zoom maneuver and Apple’s patent is not infringed. Apple is no dummy – their patent was written this way for a reason; first, you can’t patent the concept of pinching to zoom. Second, it’s a great way to simplify the motion so the CPU does the minimal amount of work possible, since anchoring the calculation at the first touch means that the mobile device only has to calculate the path of the second. But CPUs are much faster in 2012, and it turns out that it’s not really hard to have a phone or tablet calculate vectors for both (or multiple) fingers and create a zoom effect from that motion. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Jelly-Bean-already-works-around-Apples-pinch-to-zoom-patent_id33913 best regards, sony djuana -- "Indonesian Android Community" Join: http://forum.android.or.id =============== Download Aplikasi Kompas versi Digital dan Keren https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kompas.android.kec -------------------------- Download Aplikasi AR "MONSTAR" dari Indosat https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ar.monstarunity --------------------- Sale Gadget Android paling heboh hanya di Multiply!
