A method and system utilizing both (x, y) coordinate (“spatial”) stroke data and associated pressure information for improved handwriting recognition. The method and system can also be applied to all types of handwriting-based data entry applications and also to user authentication. The digitizer pad used in the computer system gives both spatial information and associated pressure data when a stroke is being drawn thereon, e.g., by a stylus. Pressure information can be used to differentiate between different character sets, e.g., upper case and lower case characters for certain alphabetic characters. The spatial stroke data then identifies the particular character. The pressure information can also be used to adjust any display attribute, such as character font size, font selection, color, italic, bold, underline, shadow, language, etc. The associated pressure information can also be used for recognizing a signature. In this case, a user is allowed to sign a name on the digitizer pad. This provides non-character based user authentication that relies not only on the spatial stroke data but also on the pressure applied at different points in the signed name or image. Pressure information can also be used to provide improved handwriting-based data entry. For instance, in a drafting program, the pressure of a drawn line can be used to determine its width. Generally, pressure data can also be used to improve handwriting recognition tasks and heuristics.

The present invention relates to a device for inputting English characters for a mobile communication terminal, comprising: a keypad input unit having a plurality of keys for inputting English characters; a display unit which outputs English characters in accordance with the input operation of the keypad input unit; an English character completion unit which reads English characters corresponding to the input from the keypad input unit from a database with pre-stored English characters, and provides the read English characters to the display unit; and a control unit connected to each unit to control the units.

Disclosed herein are a keypad having a function button used to easily input characters in cellular phones and other character input devices and a method of easily inputting various languages and letters using the function button. The function button is set independently of a menu button. Whenever the function button is pushed in a default character input mode, the default character input mode is changed to an upper-case letter input mode, a lower-case letter input mode, a sentence mark input mode, a numeral input mode, a special character input mode and other language input modes. After a desired character has been inputted in a corresponding changed input mode, the function button is pushed to rapidly return to the initial character input mode. Various sentence marks can be effectively inputted using the function button.

A spelling totem includes a generally rectangular box-shaped member having a plurality of side surfaces. Each of the side surfaces are directed towards a different letter of the alphabet and further include various implementations of the letter. The implementations can include any combination of an upper case letter, a lower case letter, a word that begins with the letter, an image of the word, the braille representation of the letter, the sign language representation of the letter, and a number showing where the particular letter falls in the alphabet. A set of individual spelling totems includes each letter of the alphabet, and each totem is designed to be aligned so as to spell various words.

The present invention provides a Data Entry Device for computers and other devices. An embodiment of the present invention provides a Data Entry Device combining a keyboard and pointing device for computers and other devices; The Data Entry Device of the present invention introduces a completely new ergonomic construction for all keys. In the Data Entry Device of the present invention the keyboard and pointing device can both be used without shifting the hands from its initial resting position and where the shift key has to be used only for capitals and a few rarely used punctuations and symbols. The vowels are all on one side thus making them easy to access and use. All the letters are arranged so that on maximum occasions the letters are alternating between hands. The character keys are separated into alphabets, numerals, mathematical operators, punctuations and symbols. The placement of the characters on the DED is based on their frequency of occurrence in the environment, the ideal workload that should be allotted to each finger, the order of ease of use of keys, their pattern of use and similarity of type. In the present invention the concept of Home Row for fingers has been replaced by Home Keys for each finger being the keys on which the fingers tend to rest naturally and is not in one row. All this together makes the DED easy to comprehend, easy to learn, easy to use, more difficult to forget, increase the speed of typing, reduce errors and makes the user less prone to medical problems.
