Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a mobile computing device for reliable and fast text entry. The method relies on a virtual keyboard layout that has a multi-touch interaction surface spread out on both the front and rear sides of a handheld computing device. A user-adaptive updating algorithm allows the virtual keyboard layout to adapt to the user's handling of the device.
