METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING A VISUAL USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A method of providing for input into an computing environment, comprising:
- receiving a request to initiate input into the computing environment;
providing an visual interface to a display, the interface comprising character sections, wherein the character sections are associated with sub-sets of characters available for entry into the computing environment, the sub-sets arranged in circular data structures; and
receiving signals from the display related to the visual interface, wherein the received signals represent physical actions performed on the display.

Abstract
An interface engine is configured to generate a user interface on a display coupled to an electronic device. The interface engine is configured to display characters, in the user interface, that may input into the electronic device. The interface engine is configured to generate the user interface to include character sections. The interface engine is configured to associate a sub-set of the characters with each character sections. The sub-set of characters included in each character section can be based on the frequency that the characters are used and/or the patterns in which the characters are used. Additionally, the sub-set of characters associated with each character section can be selected by the user.
