Abstract
A method of data input through sliding movement across a touch sensitive screen. A first step involves accepting a change in direction of the sliding movement across the touch sensitive screen as an indication of character input selection. A second step involves accepting a variation in a substantially linear portion of the sliding movement across the touch sensitive screen as an indication of character input selection.
Claims (9)
1. A method of data input through sliding movement across a touch sensitive screen, comprising the steps of:
accepting a change in direction of the sliding movement across the touch sensitive screen as an indication of character input selection; and accepting a variation in a substantially linear portion of the sliding movement across the touch sensitive screen as an indication of character input selection;
wherein the sliding movement is from letter to letter until an entire word is entered; and wherein the word is determined from a pattern of locations of the indicated character input selections.
accepting a change in direction of the sliding movement across the touch sensitive screen as an indication of character input selection; and accepting a variation in a substantially linear portion of the sliding movement across the touch sensitive screen as an indication of character input selection;
wherein the sliding movement is from letter to letter until an entire word is entered; and wherein the word is determined from a pattern of locations of the indicated character input selections.
2. The method as defined in Claim 1, wherein the variation in the substantially linear portion of the sliding movement is a change in speed.
3. The method as defined in Claim 2, wherein pausing over a character is a change of speed.
4. The method as defined in Claim 1, wherein the variation in the substantially linear portion of the sliding movement being is in pressure upon the touch sensitive screen.
5. The method as defined in Claim 1, wherein the variation in the substantially linear portion of the sliding movement is a discordant movement.
6. The method as defined in Claim 1, wherein removing contact from the touch sensitive screen indicates an end of a word sequence and wherein a space is automatically input.
7. The method as defined in Claim 5, wherein the discordant movement is an oscillation.
8. The method as defined in Claim 1, wherein the sliding movement is made over a keyboard.
9. The method as defined in Claim 8, wherein the keyboard is a QWERTY
keyboard.
keyboard.
