Abstract: A method and apparatus for entering words into a computer system. Letters contained in a desired word are entered by giving approximate location and directional information relative to any specified keyboard layout. The inputs need not correspond to specific keys on the keyboard, a sequence of ambiguous key-entries corresponding to individual words can be used to retrieve a word from the dictionary. The system tracks directional information of movement relative to a/the specific keyboard layout, reducing it to predetermined primary directions and translates this seemingly ambiguous information into accurate words from the dictionary. The system may also capture the user's intention (with regard to text entry) by observing the movements on the keyboard.

Abstract translation: 一种将单词输入计算机系统的方法和装置。 通过给出相对于任何指定键盘布局的大致位置和方向信息来输入包含在期望单词中的字母。 输入不需要对应于键盘上的特定键，可以使用与各个单词相对应的模糊键入项序列来从字典中检索单词。 该系统跟踪相对于/特定键盘布局的移动的方向信息，将其减少到预定的主要方向，并将该看似模糊的信息转换成来自字典的精确单词。 系统还可以通过观察键盘上的移动来捕获用户的意图（关于文本输入）。
