Methods and systems for a user-adaptive virtual keyboard

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• performing a virtual keyboard calibration by:
• detecting touch input on a touch sensitive display, the touch input being detected as sensor data representative of a placement of a palm and fingers of a hand on the touch sensitive display;
• and
• obtaining one or more measurements of the hand, based on the sensor data;
• generating a virtual keyboard user interface (UI) comprising a plurality of virtual objects arranged in a user-adaptive layout based on the one or more measurements of the hand obtained by performing the virtual keyboard calibration;
• and
• outputting the virtual keyboard UI to be displayed on the touch sensitive display, according to the user-adaptive layout.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• detecting a touch input on a touch sensitive display, the touch input representing home row finger positions defined for a virtual keyboard user interface (UI);
• outputting the virtual keyboard UI to be displayed on the touch sensitive display, the virtual keyboard UI being displayed at a location on the touch sensitive display corresponding to the touch input representing the home row finger positions;
• in response to detecting touch input representing movement of the home row finger positions away from the edge of the touch sensitive display, move the virtual keyboard UI to increase a margin between the virtual keyboard UI and an edge of the touch sensitive display;
• wherein a virtual trackpad is displayable in the margin between the virtual keyboard UI and the edge of the touch sensitive display.
