REDUCING ERROR RATES FOR TOUCH BASED KEYBOARDS

摘要

The present technology provides systems and methods for reducing error rates to data input to a keyboard, such as a touch screen keyboard. In one example, an input bias model dynamically changes the keyboard functionality such that the keyboard will not necessarily produce the same result for an identical tap coordinate. Rather, the keyboard functionality is adapted to account for key offset bias that occurs when the user has a tendency to select a tap coordinate that would otherwise return an unintended key. Additionally, the present technology provides a language feedback model that may provide a probability for a next tap coordinate and may augment the key corresponding to the most probable next tap coordinate, thereby allowing the user to more easily select the correct key. Further details are provided herein.
