Abstract

A directional finger recognition authoring system and method provides an alphanumeric input system using a touchpad interface.

Claims

1. A system for inputting written language into a computing device with the movements of the fingers of a hand, the system comprising:

a touchpad device having the ability to recognize a human touch and the direction of the movement of a human touch;

storage which can store electronic data and is accessible by the computing device which contains a CES Set;

software on the computing device or accessible and usable by the computing device which can access storage of a CES Set in storage;

software on the computing device or accessible and usable by the computing device which can receive input from the touchpad, determine the finger of the hand, the orientation of the hand on the device and the direction of a swipe of a finger or other part of the hand relative to the orientation of the hand on the device;

software on the computing device or accessible and usable by the computing device which can compare the input from the touchpad to the CES Set to determine a match against a CES, thus determining the user'"'"'s intended character or word;
