Virtual keyboard interaction using touch input force

摘要

Providing a virtual keyboard interaction is disclosed. An indicator identifying a force intensity of a touch input provided on a touch input surface is received. It is determined that the touch input is associated with a virtual keyboard. A virtual keyboard interaction is provided based at least in part on the indicator identifying the force intensity of the touch input.

主权项

1. A system for providing a virtual keyboard interaction, comprising:
a communication interface configured to receive an indicator identifying a force intensity value of a touch input provided on a touch input surface; and a processor configured to determine that the touch input is associated with a virtual keyboard and provide a virtual keyboard interaction based at least in part on the indicator identifying the force intensity value of the touch input, wherein providing the virtual keyboard interaction includes registering the touch input as a normal input key press of the virtual keyboard in the even the force intensity value meets a first threshold but is below a second threshold and registering the touch input as a shifted input key press of the virtual keyboard in the even the force intensity value meets the second threshold; wherein the force intensity value was determined at least in part by analyzing a disturbance caused by the touch input to a signal; wherein the signal freely propagates in all directions through the touch input surface.
