METHOD OF INPUTTING DATA USING TOUCH-SENSITIVE SURFACE, FOR EXAMPLE, TOUCHPAD OR TOUCH SCREEN Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G06F3/41 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: method of inputting data using a touch-sensitive surface includes a step for acting on the touch-sensitive surface by touching, mainly of a linear form, the type of which corresponds to a group of symbols or the action of a function key which is not associated with specific coordinates of the touch-sensitive surface, does not depend on the speed and intensity of action on the touch-sensitive surface and is selected from a list including scroll touching with construction of a straight line, scroll touching with construction of a curved line which does not cross itself, and a series of point touches which are not associated with specific coordinates of the touch-sensitive surface and scroll touches immediately following the input, the number of which corresponds to the position of a specific symbol in a group.

EFFECT: fast input of data while minimising the number of errors.
