Method for processing tactile keyboard with key for electronic system to allow interactions with user, involves determining correspondence between described path and secondary character, and activating function associated with character

摘要

The method involves detecting force exerted on an interaction surface, and accompanied displacement force by displacement along a path of a point of contact with the interaction surface. A main support is held during movement. A flexible key that is displayed on the interaction surface at a location is identified in response to the force detection. A correspondence between the described path and a secondary character associated with the identified key is determined. A function associated with the secondary character is activated corresponding to the described path. An independent claim is also included for a device for processing a tactile keyboard with a key.
