Method and apparatus for generating a personalized input panel

An input panel generating apparatus for generating a personalized input panel in a user equipment, comprising:

• a first obtaining module configured to obtain hand shape information of a user, the hand shape information including an overall length-width ratio of the hand and at least one of the following:
• a proportion of fingers over a length of a whole hand;
• a width of a palm;
• or
• a length proportion between respective fingers;
• a comparing module configured to compare the hand shape information of the user with predetermined hand shape information, to obtain hand shape feature information of the user;
• a second obtaining module configured to obtain touch point information of the user on the user equipment, the touch point information including at least one of the following:
• location information of touch points on the user equipment;
• or shape information of the touch points;
• and
• a generating module configured to generate a personalized input panel for the user based on the hand shape feature information by calculating locations of often used keys in the input panel based on the overall length-width ratio of the hand of the user, and calculating the locations of other non-often used keys based on the determined locations of the often used keys, the generating module comprising a sub-generating module configured to generate the personalized input panel for the user based on the hand shape feature information and the touch point information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions, that when executed, control a computer system to be configured for:

• obtaining hand shape information of a user, the hand shape information including an overall length-width ratio of the hand and at least one of the following:
• a proportion of fingers over a length of a whole hand;
• a width of a palm;
• or
• a length proportion between respective fingers;
• comparing the hand shape information of the user with predetermined hand shape information, to obtain hand shape feature information of the user;
• obtaining touch point information of the user on the user equipment, the touch point information including at least one of the following:
• location information of touch points on the user equipment;
• or shape information of the touch points;
• and
• generating a personalized input panel for the user based on the hand shape feature information and the touch point information, comprising:
• calculating locations of often used keys in the input panel based on the overall length-width ratio of the hand of the user, and calculating the locations of other non-often used keys based on the determined locations of the often used keys.
