Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Input arrangements for transferring data to be processed into a form capable of being handled by the computer; Output arrangements for transferring data from processing unit to output unit, e.g. interface arrangements > Input arrangements or combined input and output arrangements for interaction between user and computer > Interaction techniques based on graphical user interfaces [GUI] > using specific features provided by the input device, e.g. functions controlled by the rotation of a mouse with dual sensing arrangements, or of the nature of the input device, e.g. tap gestures based on pressure sensed by a digitiser > using a touch-screen or digitiser, e.g. input of commands through traced gestures > for inputting data by handwriting, e.g. gesture or text

CPC:

Input arrangements for transferring data to be processed into a form capable of being handled by the computer; Output arrangements for transferring data from processing unit to output unit, e.g. interface arrangements > Input arrangements or combined input and output arrangements for interaction between user and computer (G06F3/16 takes precedence) > Interaction techniques based on graphical user interfaces [GUI] > using specific features provided by the input device, e.g. functions controlled by the rotation of a mouse with dual sensing arrangements, or of the nature of the input device, e.g. tap gestures based on pressure sensed by a digitiser > using a touch-screen or digitiser, e.g. input of commands through traced gestures > for inputting data by handwriting, e.g. gesture or text
