Input method, system and device
First Claim
1. A method of entering input into a computing system comprising the steps of:
- (a) detecting input movements by means of a panel including an array of sensors;
(b) processing the detected input movements by consulting a knowledge database to identify a corresponding instruction signal for each detected input movement; and
(c) transmitting the instruction signal to the computing system.

Abstract
A method for entering input into a computing system includes the steps of: detecting input movements by means of a panel (3) including an array of sensors (5); processing the detected input movements by consulting a knowledge database (9) to identify a corresponding instruction signal for each detected input movement; and transmitting the instruction signal to the computing system. Also provided is an input system having a panel (3) including an array of sensors (5) for detecting input movements; a processor (8) for processing the detected input movements by consulting a knowledge database (9) to identify a corresponding instruction signal for each detected input movement; and a signal transmission means for transmitting the instruction signals to the computing system.
