For the readers that may come along afterwards..
My take on the bounce-back:
The display may have been patentable when it was produced.
The processor may have been patentable when it was produced.
The circuitry geometry (the architecture) of the portable
device may have been patentable.
The algorithm never should have been considered patentable,
and hopefully never will be ever again.
(But I'm not a lawyer, so my opinion is merely an opinion.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Over 30 years ago I did a FORTRAN program that did a moving
"Superman S" that would bounce at the edge of the page. I
had to run the program on paper first, before I did the punch
cards (yes, I remember those). So yes, bounce can be done in
the head and on paper.
Note the timeframe - this is OLD stuff that was patented (and
no, I don't have a copy of that program, unfortunately, for
prior art).
