The way I read this, all touch screen device do what is covered under this patent: Software responds to your touch.
sure sounds like they are trying to patent prior art, doesn’t it?
Touch screen tech is 40 years old...
Long before apple even existed...
The way I understand the difference is on the Apple the gesture or movement of the finger on the screen can cause different things to happen not just the location
I was making systems with touch screen interfaces from Elographics in 1989. The POS terminal business has used them for over 20 years. The only thing unique here is the n-finger gesture vs single point gesture.
