Abstract

Methods and systems enable defining customized virtual keyboards on a touch sensitive surface, such as a touchscreen. Using learning algorithms, a computing device may learn the typing patterns of a user and morph the keys of a virtual keyboard into locations, sizes, and orientations that are comfortable for the user and which may reduce typing errors. A user may create a custom keypad layout by performing a series of key strokes on a touch sensitive surface. The computing device may correlate the touch locations to particular keys and generate keypad layout data that can be used to display the virtual keyboard and interpret touches on the touch sensitive surface. The computing device may monitor user typing activity and refine the keypad layout data based on detected or corrected typing errors. Keypad layout data may be exported to other devices to enable users to take their virtual keyboards with them.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to computer user input devices, and more particularly to learning data entry devices. Background technique [0002] There is a growing demand for computing devices that are both powerful and portable, compact and full-featured. This trend is particularly evident in the evolution of mobile electronic devices (mobile devices), such as cellular telephones, which are now used as telephones, video and audio capture devices, video and audio players, network access terminals, and computers. [0003] As mobile devices become more complex, the variety and complexity of application software is increasing, thus turning mobile devices into multipurpose productivity tools. However, the usefulness of mobile devices and their applications are limited by the small area available for user interfaces. For example, conventional cellular telephones contain a simple keypad in a fixed configuration. In recent years, mobile devices ...
