Apparatus and methods are disclosed for simultaneously tracking multiple finger and palm contacts as hands approach, touch, and slide across a proximity-sensing. compliant, and flexible multi-touch surface. The surface consists of compressible cushion, dielectric, electrode, and circuitry layers. A simple proximity transduction circuit is placed under each electrode to maximize signal-to-noise ratio and to reduce wiring complexity. Such distributed transduction circuitry is economical for large surfaces when implemented with thin-film transistor techniques. Scanning and signal offset removal on an electrode array produces low-noise proximity images. Segmentation processing of each proximity image constructs a group of electrodes corresponding to each distinguishable contact and extracts shape, position and surface proximity features for each group. Groups in successive images which correspond to the same hand contact are linked by a persistent path tracker which also detects individual contact touchdown and liftoff. Combinatorial optimization modules associate each contact's path with a particular fingertip, thumb, or palm of either hand on the basis of biomechanical constraints and contact features. Classification of intuitive hand configurations and motions enables unprecedented integration of typing, resting, pointing, scrolling, 3D manipulation, and handwriting into a versatile, ergonomic computer input device.

A method and system is provided for tracking a user's interaction with a resource or resources supplied by a server computer. When a user requests a Web page from a server for viewing using a Web browser, the user is redirected to a tracking server. The tracking server sends the requested Web page, with an embedded script to the user's computer along with an application program that can record the user's interaction with the Web page. As the user interacts with the Web page, input made by the user, such as mouse movements, button clicks, typing, etc. is streamed back to the tracking server by the application program. The recorded session may be later retrieved from the tracking server for playback. Based on the user's input, the tracked resource may be modified, such as making it more user friendly or more easily navigable.

A method and system for performing enhanced transcription is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, a transcription application may automatically transcribe information provided in a message. For instance, the application may automatically convert audio (e.g., voice) data, and/or other data types provided within a message to textual form. Additionally, the transcription application may automatically populate data entry fields with corresponding data from a message. Moreover, the transcription application may indicate a level of confidence for the data automatically transcribed. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the transcription application may monitor the transcriber's activity and automatically adjust the presentation of data to be transcribed according to such activity. For example, the transcription application may monitor the transcriber's focus, e.g., by determining the location of the cursor, and the application may automatically adjust the presentation of data to correspond with such focus. As another example, the transcription application may monitor the typing activity of a transcriber during manual transcription and automatically adjust the presentation of the message data in accordance with such typing.

A system that designs, implements, and manages client applications on mobile devices using runtime executives and an IDE. In one aspect, the runtime executive delivers consistent GUI and application behavior within and across mobile development platforms. In another aspect, the runtime executive can set up data files of an IDE-generated client application on mobile devices and then become that application itself while supporting a pay-per-download subscription service. The runtime executive delivers multimedia content in presentation format via a one-level browsing interface, enables data entries across tabbed views with minimal typing and drilidowns via a one-level data entry interface, and precisely processes scripts and commands, including calls to COM libraries. The IDE allows non-programmers to design the GUI and the scripts for mobile device applications and compile them into application data files for multiple development platforms, which are then loaded and executed by runtime executives.

The ability of certain other embodiments to be mounted on the body of the user and to enable a wide range of user motion makes them well suited for mobile and pervasive computing applications and for potentially reducing repetitive stress injuries.

A method and apparatus for enhancing the security of password security systems. The authorization decision related to passwords is based not only on entry of the correct characters in the correct sequence but also on the keystroke sequence timing associated with the typing habits of an authorized user. The keystroke sequence timing provides an additional security measure to each password similar to signature or fingerprint systems. Particularly, each person has a unique typing style and this uniqueness is captured in the present invention as keystroke sequence timing and used as an additional recognition means.

A motion sensitive mechanical keyboard configured to enable a standard look and feel mechanical keyboard to sense hand/finger motion over the surface of the keys. Command and cursor input (e.g., pointing and gestures) can be received from the user on the motion sensitive mechanical keyboard without requiring the user to move the user's hand off the keyboard. Hand/finger motion can be detected by optical sensors via an in-keyboard-plane slot camera system. The motion sensitive mechanical keyboard can operate in two or more modes—e.g., a typing mode and a mouse mode—and operating the keyboard in mouse mode or switching between the modes can be facilitated by holding (depressing and holding) or tapping (depressing and releasing) arbitrary combinations of keys.

Keyboard for one-handed touch typing derived from a normal Sholes keyboard, where each character-key is assigned two characters (for instance T/Y), thereby reducing the number of keys to approximately half the number of keys on a normal Sholes keyboard. The choice between the two alternative characters of a specific key is based on the mode of depression of that particular key, and hence no separate key for choise between the two alternatives is needed. The characteristics of the keyboard can either be set once and for all or can be particularly adapted to the specific user of the keyboard, such as for instance to the user's writing speed.

The present invention provides devices and methods for detecting or characterizing a nucleic acid analyte without requiring electrophoresis or the direct sequencing of analyte samples or analyte fragments.

It also has screens and selection buttons which, when combined with predictive text input software such as the T9 dictionary from Tegic Communications, Inc. (www.t9.com), enables the user to type just a few keys to have entire words or phrases automatically typed into their document, thus saving typing time and avoiding the frustration of hunting for characters across a keyboard. It also offers language translation and speech capabilities, both enhanced by predictive text auto-completion.

A system and method for implementing a server-based speech recognition system for multi-modal automated interaction in a vehicle includes receiving, by a vehicle driver, audio prompts by an on-board human-to-machine interface and a response with speech to complete tasks such as creating and sending text messages, web browsing, navigation, etc. This service-oriented architecture is utilized to call upon specialized speech recognizers in an adaptive fashion. The human-to-machine interface enables completion of a text input task while driving a vehicle in a way that minimizes the frequency of the driver's visual and mechanical interactions with the interface, thereby eliminating unsafe distractions during driving conditions. After the initial prompting, the typing task is followed by a computerized verbalization of the text. Subsequent interface steps can be visual in nature, or involve only sound.

The invention comprises a hand-held device with multiple keys on its face ("face-keys") and with one or more buttons on its side ("side-buttons"). A user types a character (or invokes a function) by pressing one of the face-keys using a finger on the hand that is not holding the device while simultaneously holding in combinations of the side-buttons with fingers on the hand that is holding the device. Pressing a face-key without holding in any of the side-keys produces a given character (or function). Pressing the same face-key while simultaneously holding in a given combination of the side-keys can result in a different character (or function). The invention allows for faster typing of text on cell phone handsets and other hand-held devices.
