Pave the way for Win8 Microsoft applied for a number of touch screen interface patents

The Microsoft Windows 7 operating system is the first Windows operating system to natively support touch screen interfaces. Although most PC vendors and software vendors have not yet adopted this feature, Windows 8 is expected to add more touchscreen features when it is released in 2012. Microsoft News website Microsoft-News.com disclosed that Microsoft recently applied for several different types of touch screen interface patents.

Many patents show that some dual-display tablets have already shown what Microsoft's new touchscreen interface looks like. One of the patents shows that the user can click on an icon on the right display and then click on the left display to transfer that icon from the right display to the left display.

Another patent shows that a user can click on a file on the left display with a finger and then slide the finger on the other display to do the "mark" for the user to read on the first display. ”.

All these patents show that Microsoft is taking the touch screen technology that makes Apple's iOS devices very popular. When Microsoft unveiled more information about Windows 8 at the BUILD conference in September, people will see more of this type of touch screen interface.
