1. A method comprising:
- sensing an input location of an input to an input device;
presenting for display on a display device communicatively coupled to the input device;
a selection indication that visually identifies a location of an input queue on the display device; and
input choices that are positionally related to the input location and that are presented proximal to the selection indication, the selection indication visually spanning a display space between the input choices and the input queue such that the input choices are visually linked to the input queue, the input queue indicating a location where at least one of the input choices, if selected, is displayable; and
adding at least one of the input choices to the input queue on the display device in response to a selection of the at least one of the input choices.

Abstract
One or more sensors to determine a location of an input. The data related to the location of the input, such as a character, may be displayed on an application on a display device. In addition, data that is related to the proximate areas of the location of the input may also be displayed, such as surrounding characters. If the user desires to enter the character into the application, the displayed character may be selected. If the user does not wish to select the character, the user may move the input to a new location and data related to the new location may be displayed on the application on the display device and the data related to the new location may be selected and entered in the application.

11. A computer storage device storing computer executable instructions for:
-
sensing an input to an input device, the input at least partially overlapping an input location and at least one other input location; presenting for display on a display device; a selection indication that visually identifies a location of an input queue on the display device; and input choices related to the input location and the at least one other input location, the input choices being presented for display adjacent to the selection indication and the input queue, the input queue indicating a location where at least one of the input choices, if selected, is displayable, and the selection indication visually linking the input choices to the input queue and being visually separate from the input choices and the input queue; highlighting one of the input choices associated with the input location based on the input overlapping the input location to a greater degree than the input overlaps the at least one other input location; and responsive to the one of the input choices being selected and released, adding the one of the input choices to the input queue. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer system comprising a memory storing computer executable instructions and a processor configured to execute the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions being executable for:
-
sensing an input location of an input to an input device; presenting for display on a display device; a selection indication that visually identifies a location of an input queue on the display device; and input choices that are related to the input location on the display device, the selection indication visually associating the input choices with the input queue by providing a visual linking indicium that spans a visual region between the input choices and the input queue; and responsive to a selection of one of the input choices, adding the one of the input choices to the input queue. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
