HANDWRITING KEYBOARD FOR SCREENS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240272789 titled 'HANDWRITING KEYBOARD FOR SCREENS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application relates to handwriting on touch-sensitive surfaces, where text suggestions and strokes entered on the surface are selected using a rotatable input mechanism. Text determined from a set of strokes can be revised based on subsequent strokes, and the inclusion of a stroke in a set can be based on the time between strokes.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Handwriting on touch-sensitive surfaces
  • Selection of text suggestions and strokes using a rotatable input mechanism
  • Revision of text based on subsequent strokes
  • Inclusion of strokes in a set based on timing
  • Interrupting text determination to revise based on a set of strokes and a second stroke

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in digital writing tools, note-taking applications, and interactive displays.

Problems Solved: This technology streamlines the process of handwriting on touch-sensitive surfaces, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

Benefits:

  • Improved user experience
  • Faster text input
  • Enhanced accuracy in text suggestions

Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in digital tablets, smartphones, electronic signature devices, and interactive whiteboards, enhancing the user experience and productivity in various industries.

Questions about Handwriting on Touch-Sensitive Surfaces: 1. How does the rotatable input mechanism improve the selection of text suggestions and strokes? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in the education sector?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in touch-sensitive surface technology and handwriting recognition algorithms to enhance the capabilities of this innovation.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure generally relates to handwriting on touch sensitive surfaces. in some examples, text suggestions strokes entered on a touch sensitive surface are viewed and selected in response to a rotatable input mechanism. in some examples, text determined from a set of strokes on the touch sensitive surface is revised based on a subsequently entered stroke on the touch sensitive surface. in some examples, a determination is made whether to include a stroke in a set of strokes based a time between the stroke and the previous stroke. in some examples, determining text based on a set of stroke is interrupted to determined revised text based on the set of strokes and a second stroke.
