Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for the recognition of input of multiple objects into a computing device, wherein the computing device has a processor and at least one application for recognizing the input under control of the processor. The application is configured to determine at least one geometrical feature of a plurality of elements of the input, and compare the determined at least one geometrical feature with at least one pre-determined geometrical threshold to determine a positive or negative result. If the comparison yields a negative result, the application considers the elements as belonging to one object in the recognition of the input. If the comparison yields a positive result, the application considers the elements as belonging to multiple objects in the recognition of the input.
