IBM has a patent received on the idea of virtual keyboards automatically to the anatomy of the hands. By adjusting the thickness of fingers and the intervening distances, the users would more quickly be able to type.
The patent describes technology to keyboards on touch screen automatically to match the finger – and hand-properties of users. In the calibration, users need to do some tests, where the response time is registered. The system determines the surface that is used, the size and thickness of the fingers and the position of the fingers relative to each other to take typing.
IBM describes how to work with algorithms, the position and size of the virtual keys can be adjusted on the basis of the results of the vingermetingen. A picture shows how certain keys a fraction higher or lower, bigger or smaller. According to the group, everyone has by the properties of his hands have a unique way of typing. The keyboard on adapt the users would more quickly be able to type. The patent is, according to NewScientist apply to both tablets as touch-sensitive surfaces, reports NewScientist.
