Abstract

A character entry device on an input means for use with a stylus, the device comprising: a plurality of areas each associated with one or more characters, the areas being arranged in a predetermined orientation; a detector which identifies the contact or sequence of contacts made in the or each area in the process of inputting a word or command with a stroke of the stylus; a predictor which determines the characters associated with each of the contact or sequence of contacts to determine the most likely string of characters forming the word or command to thereby identify the word or command; and a selector for selecting the correct word or command if there is more than one predicted string of characters.
