<p>A device and method providing improved text entry via touch input means are described. The touch input means is labelled so as to provide a keypad, the keypad itself comprising key regions (206) which each depict a primary character surrounded by other characters. To enter text the user touches the key region (206) associated with the character required, and then moves the touch input in the direction of the required character. The method comprises the steps of defining a trajectory (312) comprising a plurality of location points (313) in response to the touch input; analysing the trajectory to determine a predominant direction and a representative location (206) of the trajectory; and selecting a character for input depending on the location and direction of the trajectory.</p> |
