This Microsoft patent is committed to giving a twist to the touch gestures we use on our mobile
It's about patents again and if we've already seen so far this year two new patents focused on one hand on dual-screen devices and on the other on an innovative closing mechanism, now we do it but looking at a possible Surface Phone as a possible recipient of this new development from Redmond.
We cannot deny that there is a lot of curiosity, in knowing a possible successor to the ill-fated phones with Windows Phone and the Surface Phone seems to be the ideal candidate in which we deposited our hopes despite the fact that it appears and disappears like the Guadiana river.
And this time the target is the screen that would make use of a new touch system to interact with the phone's operating system (if is that finally it is not a tablet). An idea that, as always, has been discovered on the page of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
According to it, from Redmond they are working on the task of creating a "new language of gestures for a device with multiple touch surfaces” It would stand out for being used in the front part of the screen, but also in the back, so at first it reminds me of the touch panel that the PS Vita implemented at the time in the back area.
To this end, and according to the patent, the new device would use two screens or touch-sensitive surfacesA main screen on the front of the device, and a secondary screen or touch surface on the back of the device.
In this way it would be possible to provide simultaneous touch capability on both sides of the device that would increase the possibility of interacting with the device and operating system you use.
The idea of a terminal with a double screen, similar to the Yotaphone 3, but also touchscreen, thus adds to the cascade of options with which we load a possible Surface Phone every day. Now we have to wait for one to come true.
