Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS STROKE WORD-BASED TEXT INPUT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004066075
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and system (2100) for continuous stroke word-based text input, having a virtual keyboard (2104) appearing on a touch sensitive screen (2102). The present invention allows a user to use the virtual keyboard to quickly enter words by drawing a continuous line that passes through or near the keys of each letter in a word in sequence without lifting the stylus. The user traces an input pattern (2200) for a word by contacting the virtual keyboard on or near the key of the first letter of the word, then tracing through each letter in sequence, lifting the stylus from the touch sensitive screen upon reaching the last letter. The present invention then analyzes each input pattern and presents a list of one or more possible words based on the input pattern, for selection by the user.
