Abstract: Disclosed herein are single-finger gestures for activating a trackpad mode on a touch-sensitive device with no force sensors. An example method includes: displaying a virtual keyboard on a touch-sensitive display with a spacebar key and other keys. Detecting a first extended contact over the virtual keyboard and, in accordance with a determination that the first extended contact is over any of the respective displayed representations of the other keys, interpreting the first extended contact as a keyboard input and activating a corresponding extended keyboard function. The method also includes: detecting a second extended contact over the virtual keyboard. The method further includes: in accordance with a determination that the second extended contact is over a respective displayed representation of the spacebar key, interpreting the second extended contact as a mode-switching input that causes the electronic device to operate at least a portion of the touch-sensitive display as a trackpad.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptively presenting a keyboard on a touch-sensitive display are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method includes: monitoring typing inputs received from a user at a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device. The method also includes: determining whether the typing inputs are converging towards a midpoint of the touch-sensitive display or diverging away from the midpoint of the touch-sensitive display. In accordance with a determination that the typing inputs are converging towards the midpoint of the touch-sensitive display, the method includes: providing a first feedback to the user to indicate that the typing inputs are converging. In accordance with a determination that the typing inputs are diverging away from the midpoint of the touch-sensitive display, the method includes: providing a second feedback to the user to indicate that the typing inputs are diverging.

Abstract: Systems and methods for distinguishing between a gesture tracing out a word and a wiping motion on a touch-sensitive keyboard are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method includes: displaying a plurality of keys on the touch-sensitive keyboard. The method also includes: detecting a contact at the plurality of keys, followed by a sliding movement of the contact. The method also includes: automatically determining whether the user is tracing out a word. In accordance with a determination that the user is tracing out a word, the method includes: displaying one or more characters. In accordance with a determination that the sliding movement corresponds to a wiping motion, forgoing display of characters contacted during the sliding movement of the contact. The wiping motion includes an input that simultaneously contacts multiple keys and moves as the input remains in contact with multiple keys.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying and intuitively interacting with keyboards on a touch-sensitive surface are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors, memory, a touch-sensitive display, and one or more touch sensors coupled to the touch-sensitive display. The method includes: displaying a plurality of keys on a keyboard on the touch-sensitive display and detecting, by the one or more touch sensors, a first contact at a first key of the plurality of keys on the keyboard. The method further includes: determining a value of a signal corresponding to the first contact. When the value is above a first non-zero threshold, the method includes actuating the first key. When the value is between a second non-zero threshold and the first non-zero threshold, the method includes forgoing actuating the first key.

Abstract: Systems and methods for disambiguating user input using dual strikes zones are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes: establishing a plurality of default actuation regions for each key on a virtual keyboard and providing adaptive actuation regions, each associated with a respective region of a touch-sensitive display within which a predetermined number of previous typing inputs have been received for a respective key. The method also includes: receiving a sequence of typing inputs with an observed cadence, including an ambiguous input within a first adaptive actuation region associated with a first key and within a first default actuation region associated with a second key. If the observed cadence satisfies a cadence threshold, the method includes: determining that the ambiguous input is associated with the first key and, if the observed cadence doesn't satisfy the cadence threshold, the method includes: determining that the ambiguous input is associated with the second key.
