This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18141754 titled 'HANDWRITING KEYBOARD FOR SCREENS

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application is about handwriting on touch sensitive surfaces. - It describes a method where text suggestions are viewed and selected using a rotatable input mechanism on a touch sensitive surface. - The text determined from a set of strokes on the touch sensitive surface can be revised based on a subsequently entered stroke. - The inclusion of a stroke in a set of strokes can be determined based on the time between the stroke and the previous stroke. - The method allows for interrupting the determination of text based on a set of strokes to determine revised text based on the set of strokes and a second stroke.


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.
