Arranging touch screen software keyboard split-keys based on contact surface

Published:10 April 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

Touch screen devices, which have become ubiquitous in our daily lives, offer users flexible input and output operations. Typical operation methods for touch screen devices include the use of a stylus or a finger. A touch screen user can select a stylus or finger depending on the user's situation and preference. In this paper, we propose a dynamic method of assigning symbols to keys for a software keyboard on a touch screen device. This method provides flexible adjustment to both the stylus operation and finger operation.
