Enhanced Character Input Using Recognized Gestures
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- recognizing a user'"'"'s first and second gestures;
outputting a control that further comprises;
radially disposed interaction elements, at least a portion of which are associated with clusters of characters, and,the characters associated with a selected interaction element, disposed radially in relation to the selected interaction element, when the interaction element is selected;
selecting, using the control, the interaction element and a character associated with the selected interaction element, based on the user'"'"'s recognized first and second gestures, respectively; and
outputting the selected character.

Abstract
Enhanced character input using recognized gestures, in which a user'"'"'s first and second gestures are recognized, and a control including radially disposed interaction elements is output. At least a portion of the interaction elements are associated with clusters of characters. When an interaction element is selected, the characters associated with the selected interaction element are disposed radially in relation to the selected interaction element. Using the control, the interaction element and a character associated with the selected interaction element are selected based on the user'"'"'s recognized first and second gestures, respectively, and the selected character is output.
