1. A method comprising:
- receiving a trace input entered on a surface;
receiving movement data describing the movement of the surface during entry of the trace input; and
modifying the trace input by compensating the trace input by an amount relative to the movement of the surface to counterbalance effects of the movement of the surface and produce an equilibrium in relation to the trace input to offset the movement, wherein modifying the trace input comprises modifying the trace input by offsetting a number of pixels in a manner corresponding to the movement of the surface.

Abstract
User input data and movement data relating to movement of a device to which the user input is made is monitored. The input data may be modified according to the movement data so that inadvertent inputs based on an unwanted tremors, bumps, or similar are accounted for. Data from an accelerometer may indicate sudden movement or bumps. The input data, such as handwriting for example, may then be modified based on the data from the accelerometer. Therefore, the device may determine the input as intended by the user.

7. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a processor, memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; to receive a trace input entered on a surface; to receive movement data describing the movement of the surface during entry of the trace input; and to modify the trace input by compensating the trace input by an amount relative to the movement of the surface to counterbalance effects of the movement of the surface and produce an equilibrium in relation to the trace input to offset the movement, wherein modifying the trace input comprises modifying the trace input by offsetting a number of pixels in a manner corresponding to the movement of the surface. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium bearing computer program code embodied therein for use with a computer, the computer program code comprising:
-
code for receiving a trace input entered on a surface; code for receiving movement data describing the movement of the surface during entry of the trace input; and code for modifying the trace input by compensating the trace input by an amount relative to the movement of the surface to counterbalance effects of the movement of the surface and produce an equilibrium in relation to the trace input to offset the movement, wherein modifying the trace input comprises modifying the trace input by offset a number of pixels in a manner corresponding to the movement of the surface. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
