Device and method for text entry using two axes at a display device

Abstract:

A device and method for text entry using two axes at a display device is provided. One or more lines for text entry are rendered at a display device. A first axis is rendered about parallel to the one or more lines, and a second axis is rendered about perpendicular to the one or more lines. An intersection of the first axis and the second axis define a text entry cursor at the one or more lines, each of the first axis and the second axis being moveable at the display device, to move the intersection, upon receipt of touch input at one or more regions of a touchscreen corresponding to the first axis and the second axis. When input is received at a keyboard, the display device is controlled to render text at the intersection.
