Systems and Methods for Disambiguating Intended User Input at an Onscreen Keyboard Using Dual Strike Zones

摘要

Systems and methods for disambiguating user input using dual strikes zones are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes: establishing a plurality of default actuation regions for each key on a virtual keyboard and providing adaptive actuation regions, each associated with a respective region of a touch-sensitive display within which a predetermined number of previous typing inputs have been received for a respective key. The method also includes: receiving a sequence of typing inputs with an observed cadence, including an ambiguous input within a first adaptive actuation region associated with a first key and within a first default actuation region associated with a second key. If the observed cadence satisfies a cadence threshold, the method includes: determining that the ambiguous input is associated with the first key and, if the observed cadence doesn't satisfy the cadence threshold, the method includes: determining that the ambiguous input is associated with the second key.

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing one or more programs configured for execution by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
establishing a plurality of default actuation regions for a virtual keyboard, each respective default actuation region associated with a respective key of a plurality of keys on the virtual keyboard; providing a plurality of adaptive actuation regions for the virtual keyboard, each respective adaptive actuation region associated with a region of the touch-sensitive display within which a predetermined number of previous typing inputs have been received for a single key of the plurality of keys of the virtual keyboard; receiving, at the virtual keyboard, a sequence of new typing inputs with an observed cadence, the sequence of new typing inputs including an ambiguous typing input that is within a first adaptive actuation region associated with a first key and is within a first default actuation region associated with a second key; in accordance with a determination that the observed cadence satisfies a cadence threshold, determining that the ambiguous typing input is associated with the first key; and in accordance with a determination that the observed cadence does not satisfy the cadence threshold, determining that the ambiguous typing input is associated with the second key.
