"Time based hardware button for application launch
Abstract
A method and system are provided for extending the functionality of application buttons on a limited resource computing device. Alternative application functions are launched based on the length of time an application button is pressed. A default function for an application is launched if the button is pressed for a short, i.e., normal, period of time. An alternative function of the application is launched if the button is pressed for a long, (e.g., at least one second), period of time. Still another function can be launched if the application button is pressed multiple times within a short period of time, e.g., double click."
Si ce n'est pas la définition du double clic (ils le disent eux même à la fin de la définition)...
Ce qui est gênant dans cette définition c'est le "limited resource computing device", à partir de quand a-t-on un système à ressource limitées. Est-ce que si je programme le clic long/double clic sur une télécommande infrarouge, je viole le brevet ?
[^] # Re: Avant de hurler, il y en a un qui a lu le brevet ?
Posté par hocwp (site web personnel) . En réponse au journal Microsoft a breveté le double clic. Évalué à 2.
