Method of facilitating input at an electronic device

摘要

A method of facilitating input at an electronic device includes detecting a first touch at a first touch location on a touch-sensitive device; the first touch being associated with a first character; detecting a second touch at a second touch location on the touch-sensitive surface, the second touch being associated with a second character; when movement of one of the first touch and the second touch is detected, determining a distance between the first touch location and the second touch location, the distance being associated with a number of characters of an object; identifying candidate objects in reference data that match the number of characters and include an initial character that matches the first character and a final character that matches the second character; and displaying at least one candidate object.

1. A method of facilitating input at an electronic device, the method comprising:
detecting a first touch at a first touch location on a touch-sensitive device to select a first character of a virtual keyboard; detecting a second touch at a second touch location on the touch-sensitive device to select a second character of the virtual keyboard; in response to movement of one of the first touch and the second touch being detected, determining a distance between the first touch location and the second touch location, the distance being associated with a number of characters of an object; identifying candidate objects in reference data that match the number of characters and include an initial character that matches the first character and a final character that matches the second character; and displaying at least one candidate object.
