An approach is provided for establishing touch zones of soft keys of a soft keypad that is displayed on a touch-screen device. The approach identifies a fingertip size associated with a user of the touch-screen device. Touch zones of one or more keys are then established so that the size of the touch zones is based on the fingertip size.

Touch zones on a soft keyboard

An apparatus, method, and program product is disclosed for on-screen keyboard management. A touch screen displays an on-screen keyboard, a processor is operatively coupled to the touch screen, and a memory stores code executable by the processor. The code determines a duration associated with a key event in response to a key press on the on-screen keyboard, and ignores the key press in response to determining that the duration associated with the key event satisfies a predetermined threshold.

Managing an on-screen keyboard

A method including receiving sensed information corresponding to a contact signature of a user holding a device, generating a contact signature from the sensed information, comparing the contact signature to a library of contact signatures, and authenticating the user based on the comparison to provide access to functions on the device.

Contact signature authentication of user of device

For displaying data on a wearable device, a public display wearable on a wrist presents public data. A private display wearable on the wrist presents private data. The private data may include a correspondent identity.
