ACCURATE DATA ENTRY INTO A MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

Technologies for increased accuracy of data entry into a mobile computing device includes displaying a virtual keyboard on a display of the mobile computing device and receiving selection of a virtual key of the virtual keyboard using a key input mapping that is offset relative to the corresponding selected virtual key. For example, the key input mapping may be spatially displaced from the corresponding virtual key and/or have a surface area that is different from the corresponding virtual key. The key input mapping may be offset as a function of the handedness of use of the mobile computing device such that the amount of offset is non-uniform across the virtual keyboard.

主权项

1. A mobile computing device for increased accuracy of data entry, the mobile computing device comprising:
a touchscreen display; a keyboard display module to display a virtual keyboard on the touchscreen display, the virtual keyboard comprising a plurality of virtual keys; and a keyboard input module to generate a key input mapping having at least one key input mapping of a virtual key of the virtual keyboard that is offset relative to the corresponding virtual key.
