Embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic device, comprising a first display and a second display arranged to display a region of the first display at an increased magnification.

Electronic device having improved user interface

Method, article, apparatus and computer system facilitating the easy and intuitive inputting of a desired graphical object into an electronic system from a large plurality of predetermined graphical objects. In one example embodiment, this is achieved by assigning each of said graphical objects into one of a plurality of groups in accordance with a predetermined similarity criterion, associating respective base shapes to each of said groups, wherein said base shapes having a certain degree of similarity to the objects assigned to the associated group according to said similarity criterion and associating in each of said groups at least one gesture to each of said graphical objects, so that the associated gestures are distinguishable from each other. In order to input the desired graphical object, one of the groups is selected by selecting its base shape and then the desired graphical object is identified by drawing the respective gesture associated thereto.

Method, article, apparatus and computer system for inputting a graphical object

A practical and natural way of inputting syllables of scripts into a computer. In one example embodiment, This is achieved by selecting a base character from a set of characters using a digitizing tablet []. The selected base character is then modified by drawing one or more natural handwritten modifying gestures to form a current desired syllable. An associated data of the formed current desired syllable is then inputted into a gesture-keypad-engine [] via the digitizing tablet [] upon completion of the drawing of the one or more natural handwritten modifying gestures. The gesture-keypad-engine [] then produces a current candidate syllable as a function of the inputted associated data of the formed current desired syllable. The produced current candidate syllable is then displayed on a display device [
