Multimode mathematical user interface

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure include a quick and easy user interface system for allowing a user to format mathematical expression on a math program as they would be formatted in longhand. The user interface is configured to switch between a linear math expression entry scheme and a structured math expression entry scheme based on a user's math expression entries in order to predict the user's desired entry format. The user interface contains additional shortcuts and display features which enable a user to enter mathematical expressions quickly and easily, with less confusion.

主权项

1. A calculation device comprising:
entry keys configured to allow a user to enter various mathematical expressions; a display configured to display mathematical expressions; and a processor configured to:
receive a plurality of math expression entries from the user;predict, based at least in part on at least one past math expression entry, an entry mode preference of the user, wherein the entry mode preference corresponds to one of a linear math expression entry scheme or a structured math expression entry scheme; andconfigure the display to output a current math expression entry in the entry mode preference.
