Abstract
A method and a system for generating a text on a handheld device having a touch sensitive display displaying in a first area any generated text and in another area proposed symbols/letters/words/characters for use in the first area, where touching the display alters between navigating in the text of the first area and selecting/highlighting one or more of the proposed symbols/letters/words/characters of the second area.
Claims20
A method of generating a text on a handheld device having:
- an element for identifying or receiving a movement along a closed curve, and
- a touch sensitive display/monitor for providing information to a user, the method comprising:
- 1. displaying, on a first area of the display/monitor, any generated text,
- 2. displaying, on a second area separate from the first area, one or more proposed symbols/letters/words/characters for use in the first area,
- 3. upon detection of a touch of the touch sensitive display/monitor, altering between:
- a. a first mode, wherein an identified/received movement causes navigation in the generated text in the first area, and
- b. a second mode, wherein an identified/received movement causes one or more of the proposed symbols/letters/words/characters of the second area to be sequentially highlighted.
A handheld device having:
- an element for identifying or receiving a movement along a closed curve,
- a touch sensitive display/monitor for providing information to a user, and
- a processor adapted to:
- 1. receive signals from the identifying/receiving element and the display/monitor,
- 2. have the display/monitor display, on a first area thereof, any generated text,
- 3. have the display/monitor display, on a second area thereof separate from the first area, one or more proposed symbols/letters/words/characters for use in the first area,
- 4. upon detection of a touch of the touch sensitive display/monitor, alter between:
- a. a first mode, wherein an identified/received movement causes navigation in the generated text in the first area, and
- b. a second mode, wherein an identified/received movement causes one or more of the proposed symbols/letters/words/characters of the second area to be sequentially highlighted.
A method of operating a device comprising a touch sensitive display, the method comprising:
- defining one or more active areas on the display, each area being correlated to an operation of the device,
- determining a first touch of an active area and highlighting the area,
- determining an instruction from a user and carrying out the operation correlated to the highlighted area.
A device comprising a display, the device comprising:
- an element for defining one or more active areas on the display, each area being correlated to an operation of the device,
- a first element for determining a first touch of an active area and for highlighting the area,
- a second element for determining an instruction from a user and carrying out the operation correlated to the highlighted area.
