Angular sensitized keypad

A device comprising:na processor; anda memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:nassigning a prediction value to each of a plurality of keys after one of the plurality of keys is selected; andadjusting an acceptable angle for one of the plurality of keys relative to the prediction value assigned to the one of the plurality of keys, the acceptable angle being measured by a plurality of electrical contacts arranged around a center of the one of the plurality of keys, the plurality of electrical contacts comprising a plurality of upper electrical contacts and a plurality of lower electrical contacts, wherein adjusting the acceptable angle comprises:nin response to the one of the plurality of keys being assigned a lower prediction value, increasing a number of the plurality of upper electrical contacts of the one of the plurality of keys required to contact a number of the plurality of lower electrical contacts of the one of the plurality of keys to constitute an entry of the one of the plurality of keys, andin response to the one of the plurality of keys being assigned a higher prediction value, decreasing the number of the plurality of upper electrical contacts of the one of the plurality of keys required to contact the number of the plurality of lower electrical contacts of the one of the plurality of keys to constitute the entry of the one of the plurality of keys.

A method comprising:nassigning, by a text-entry device comprising a processor, a prediction value to each of a plurality of keys after one of the plurality of keys is selected; andadjusting, by the processor, an acceptable angle for one of the plurality of keys relative to the prediction value assigned to the one of the plurality of keys, the acceptable angle being measured by a plurality of contacts arranged around a center of the one of the plurality of keys, the plurality of contacts comprising a plurality of upper contacts and a plurality of lower contacts, wherein adjusting the acceptable angle comprises:nin response to the one of the plurality of keys being assigned a lower prediction value, increasing a number of the plurality of upper contacts of the one of the plurality of keys required to contact a number of the plurality of lower contacts of the one of the plurality of keys to constitute an entry of the one of the plurality of keys, andin response to the one of the plurality of keys being assigned a higher prediction value, decreasing the number of the plurality of upper contacts of the plurality of keys required to contact the number the plurality of lower contacts of the one of the plurality of keys to constitute the entry of the one of the plurality of keys, wherein the plurality of keys is coupled with the text-entry device.

A non-transitory tangible computer readable medium having stored thereon computer instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:nassigning a prediction value to each of a plurality of keys after one of the plurality of keys is selected; andadjusting an acceptable angle for one of the plurality of keys relative to the prediction value assigned to the one of the plurality of keys, the plurality of contacts comprising a plurality of upper contacts and a plurality of lower contacts, wherein adjusting the acceptable angle comprises:nin response to the one of the plurality of keys being assigned a lower prediction value, increasing a number of the plurality of upper contacts of the one of the plurality of keys required to contact a number of the plurality of lower contacts of the one of the plurality of keys to constitute an entry of the one of the plurality of keys, andin response to the one of the plurality of keys being assigned an higher prediction value, decreasing the number of the plurality of upper contacts of the one of the plurality of keys required to contact the number of the plurality of lower contacts of the one of the plurality of keys to constitute the entry of the one of the plurality of keys,wherein the acceptable angle being measured by the plurality of contacts arranged around a center of the one of the plurality of keys.
