Method and device for a multi-touch based correction of a handwriting sentence system

A method, comprising:

• receiving at least one touch input via a touch sensitive display device;
• generating interpreted input data as a function of the at least one touch input;
• displaying the interpreted input data on the display device;
• receiving a request to correct at least a portion of the interpreted input data;
• switching to a correction mode;
• and
• during the correction mode, performing the following sub-steps:
• displaying a correction user interface on at least a portion of the display device;
• receiving a gesture via the correction user interface, wherein the gesture is a multi-touch input comprising a multi-finger gesture;
• determining a setting data as a function of a first disposition of the multi-finger gesture, the setting data indicating a portion of the interpreted inputs to which one of a set of types of correction is to be applied;
• determining a correction data as a function of a second disposition of the multi-finger gesture;
• and
• correcting the portion of the interpreted input data as a function of the at least one touch input, the setting data, and the correction data, wherein the set of types of correction comprises:
• a separation to correct a split-over combination error;
• and
• a combination to correct a combine-over segmentation error.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions operable to:

• receive at least one touch input via a touch sensitive display device;
• generate interpreted input data as a function of the at least one touch input;
• display the interpreted input data on the display device;
• receive a request to correct at least a portion of the interpreted input data;
• switch to a correction mode;
• and
• during the correction mode, the set of instructions operable to perform the following sub-steps:
• display a correction user interface on at least a portion of the display device;
• receive a gesture via the correction user interface, wherein the gesture is a multi-touch input comprising a multi-finger gesture;
• determine a setting data as a function of a first disposition of the multi-finger gesture, the setting data indicating a portion of the interpreted inputs to which one of a set of types of correction is to be applied;
• determine a correction data as a function of a second disposition of the multi-finger gesture;
• and
• correct the portion of the interpreted input data as a function of the at least one touch input, the setting data, and the correction data, wherein the set of types of correction comprises:
• a separation to correct a split-over combination error;
• and
• a combination to correct a combine-over segmentation error.
