First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving data indicating an input gesture;
determining that the input gesture is a dragging input gesture or a tapping input gesture;
selecting, by one or more computers, a single character based at least on determining that the input gesture is a dragging input gesture or a tapping input gesture, wherein the single character is selected without regard to a location where the input gesture began and a location where the input gesture ended; and
providing data indicating the single character.

Abstract
A computer-implemented user interface method for a computing device is disclosed. The method includes associating each of a plurality of telephone keys with a direction of each key relative to a center of a telephone keypad, receiving a contact from a user of the device at a location on a touchscreen display of a computing device and an input at a direction relative to the location of the user contact, and causing a telephone number to be entered on the computing device based on the direction of each key relative to the center of the telephone keypad corresponding to the direction relative to the location of the user contact.

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage device encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that, if executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving data indicating an input gesture; determining that the input gesture is a dragging input gesture or a tapping input gesture; selecting, by one or more computers, a single character based at least on determining that the input gesture is a dragging input gesture or a tapping input gesture, wherein the single character is selected without regard to a location where the input gesture began and a location where the input gesture ended; and providing data indicating the single character. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A computing device comprising:
-
a touchscreen display screen; a gesture input classifier that is trained to identify input gestures as one of at least a dragging input gesture and a tapping input gesture; memory storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the computing device, to cause the computing device to perform operations comprising; receiving, via the touchscreen display screen, data indicating an input gesture; determining that the gesture input classifier has classified the input gesture as a dragging input gesture or a tapping input gesture; selecting, by one or more computers, a single character based at least on determining that the gesture input classifier has classified the input gesture as a dragging input gesture or a tapping input gesture, wherein the single character is selected without regard to a location where the input gesture began and a location where the input gesture ended; and providing data indicating the single character. - View Dependent Claims (20)
