ABSTRACT:
A method of input programmed to operate on a representation of a keyboard appearing on a touch-sensitive screen in which letters are made temporarily available to the user based on studies of frequency of occurrence and sequence in the language that may then be selected for input by a sliding motion of an input device. The user slides an input device from the initially selected letter into the area representing any of the temporarily available keys, inputting any of the letters represented thereon. The process of selecting by touch and slide may be repeated as desired by the user. A method of capitalization is provided by touching the screen with an input device on the background area of the keyboard outside of the area representing the key or a letter and then sliding the input device into the area representing the key of the letter. A method of spacing is provided by a sliding movement of an input device from within the area representing the key of the last character before the desired space into the background area of the keyboard outside of the area of the key and then lifting the input device from the surface of the screen.
