ABSTRACT:
An electronic device predicts a target key on a soft keyboard for selection by a user and enlarges the target key to make it easier for the user to select the target key. The electronic device includes a display that displays a cursor and keys that constitute a soft keyboard and a cursor control device for controlling movement of the cursor on the display. The electronic device further includes a processor operable to receive a cursor control signal representing movement of the cursor on the display from the cursor control device. In response to the cursor control signal, the processor predicts one of the keys likely to be next selected as the target key and enlarges the target key relative to other keys on the display.
