Text entry method with character input slider
First Claim
1. A method of receiving text entries on a display of an infotainment system, the method comprising:
- providing a character input slider that comprises at least one slider controller;
sensing a gesture related to moving the at least one slider controller;
moving the at least one slider controller along the character input slider in a direction of a sensing result when the gesture is in proximity with the at least one slider controller along the character input slider;
presenting one character when the slider controller is in proximity with a location which corresponds with the one character on the character input slider, the one character being out of a plurality of characters having a plurality of corresponding locations different with each other, respectively on the character input slider;
focusing the one character when the gesture related to moving the at least one slider controller is not detected for a predetermined period of time;
selecting the one character when a predetermined gesture other than the gesture related to moving the at least one slider controller along the character input slider is detected after focusing the one character; and
entering the selected one character into an active location of an active text input field.

Abstract
A method of receiving text entries on a display of an infotainment system including a character input slider that has a slider controller, includes sensing gesture as the slider controller is moved, moving the slider controller along the character input slider in a direction of a sensing result when the gesture is in proximity with the slider controller along the character input slider, presenting one character when the slider controller is in a proximity with a location related to the one character on the character input slider, focusing the one character when the gesture regarding moving the slider controller is not detected for a predetermined period of time, selecting the one character when a predetermined gesture other than the gesture is detected after focusing the one character, and entering the selected one character into an active location of an active text input field.

15. A computer system configured to receive text entries, the system comprising:
-
a screen configured to display graphical user interface; a touch panel comprising; a touch sensor configured to sense a contact of an object as a touch gesture on the touch panel and to cause a signal associated with the location of the contact of the object when it is sensed that the object and the touch panel are in contact; and a processor configured to interpret the touch gesture on the touch sensor based on the signal from the touch sensor, wherein the system is configured to provide a character input slider comprising at least one slider controller and at least one slider button configured to move along the character input slider in a direction of movement of the touch gesture when the touch gesture is sensed in proximity with the at least one slider button and the movement of the touch gesture is along the character input slider, to present one character when the slider controller is in a proximity with a location which corresponds with the one character on the character input slider, the one character being out of a plurality of characters having a plurality of corresponding locations different with each other, respectively on the character input slider, to focus the one character when the movement of the touch gesture is not detected for a predetermined period of time, and wherein the processor is configured to detect a predetermined gesture other than the movement of the touch gesture along the character input slider after focusing the one character as a cue for receiving the one character as a text entry and wherein the processor is configured to instruct the screen to display entering the selected one character into an active location of an active text input field. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer system configured to receive text entries, the system comprising:
-
a screen configured to display graphical user interface; a physical character input slider comprising at least one slider controller and at least one slider button thereon configured to move along the character input slider in a direction of movement of a gesture of a user to move the at least one slider button along the character input slider, to present one character when the slider controller is in a proximity with a location which corresponds with the one character on the character input slider, the one character being out of a plurality of characters having a plurality of corresponding locations different with each other, respectively on the character input slider, to focus the one character when the movement of the touch gesture is not detected for a predetermined period of time, and; a processor configured to interpret the movement of the gesture based on the signal from the physical character input slider; and wherein the processor is configured to detect a predetermined gesture other than the movement of the move gesture along the character input slider after focusing the one character as a cue for receiving the one character as a text entry and wherein the processor is configured to instruct the screen to display entering the selected one character into an active location of an active text input field.
