Pressure-based gesture typing for a graphical keyboard

A computing device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one module operable by the at least one processor to:
• output, for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys;
• receive an indication of a first gesture selecting a first sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys;
• receive an indication of a second gesture selecting a second sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys;
• and
• determine, based on pressure information associated with the indication of the second gesture, a candidate word that includes a combination of the first sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys and the second sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys;
• and
• output, for display, the candidate word that includes the combination of the first sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys and the second sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys.

A computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor of a computing device to:

• output, for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys;
• receive an indication of a first gesture selecting a first sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys;
• receive an indication of a second gesture selecting a second sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys;
• and
• determine, based on pressure information associated with the indication of the second gesture, a candidate word that includes a combination of the first sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys and the second sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys;
• and
• output, for display, the candidate word that includes the combination of the first sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys and the second sequence of one or more keys from the plurality of keys.
