APPARATUS FOR INPUTTING A TEXT CORRESPONDING TO RELATIVE COORDINATES VALUES GENERATED BY MOVEMENT OF A TOUCH POSITION AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Methods, techniques, and systems for enhanced processing of touch input are provided. Example embodiments provide a technique for selecting and inputting a command that corresponds to a sequence of relative coordinate values generated by detecting changes in directional movement of a touch position. The user initiates a touch, and as the user moves, the commands corresponding to the sequence of relative coordinate values are displayed. Once the user terminates the touch, the last displayed command is effectively selected and processed as input. Accordingly, a user can input a desired command, character, symbol, etc. using a single gesture, without having to touch the input device to select commands located in fixed positions. Thus, the process of searching for, selecting, and inputting a desired command can be accomplished using just one gesture.
