Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for text input for wearable devices. The method includes receiving a request for a text batch transfer for input text into a text box on an external device. The method also includes displaying a user interface including a text input box based on the received data. The method also includes receiving input text from the text input box on the user interface. The method also includes transmitting a batch of text from the external mobile device through the wireless communication channel.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile device, a request for a direct text batch transfer from the mobile device for input text into a text box on a wearable device;
- opening, by the mobile device, a data exchange application for receiving input text from the mobile device for the wearable device;
- pairing, by the mobile device, to the wearable device through the data exchange application over a first wireless medium to indicate to the wearable device that the direct text batch transfer will occur;
- receiving, by the mobile device, the input text through a user interface of the mobile device;
- receiving, by the mobile device, a confirmation input confirming the input text is ready to batch and transmit;
- and
- transmitting, by the mobile device, a batch of text to the wearable device through a second wireless medium that is a direct wireless communication channel temporarily initiated until completion of transmitting the batch of text.
A mobile device comprising:
- a wireless communication interface configured to communicate with a wearable device through a first wireless communication channel;
- a display configured to display a user interface;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive a request for a direct text batch transfer from the mobile device for input text into a text box on the wearable device;
- open a data exchange application for receiving the input text from the mobile device for the wearable device;
- pair to the wearable device through the data exchange application over the first wireless communication channel to indicate to the wearable device that the direct text batch transfer will occur;
- receive the input text through the user interface of the mobile device;
- detect a signal confirming the input text is ready to batch and transmit;
- transmit a batch of text to the wearable device through a second wireless communication channel that is a direct wireless communication channel temporarily initiated until completion of transmitting the batch of text.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile device, is configured to cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a request for a direct text batch transfer from the mobile device for input text into a text box on a wearable device, wherein the plurality of instructions include a header configured to indicate a type of batch values and a body configured to include a plurality of batch values entered on the mobile device and input into separate text fields on the wearable device;
- open a data exchange application for receiving input text from the mobile device for the wearable device;
- pair to the wearable device through the data exchange application over a first wireless medium to indicate to the wearable device that the direct text batch transfer will occur;
- receive the input text through a user interface of the mobile device;
- receive a confirmation input confirming the input text is ready to batch and transmit;
- and
- transmit a batch of text to the wearable device through a second wireless medium that is a direct wireless communication channel temporarily initiated until completion of transmitting the batch of text.
