SWIPE GESTURES ON A VIRTUAL KEYBOARD WITH MOTION COMPENSATION

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to an apparatus with a virtual keyboard being configured to compensate, or at least adjust, for motion of the apparatus during receipt of a swipe gesture. Other aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a method for receiving data in an apparatus with a touchscreen. An exemplary data reception method generally comprises receiving a swipe gesture input sequence on a virtual keyboard of the touchscreen, wherein the apparatus with the touchscreen is undergoing motion during at least part of the swipe gesture input sequence; sensing at least one parameter indicative of the motion using at least one inertial sensor; and determining a character sequence based on the swipe gesture input sequence and the at least one parameter indicative of the motion.
