Apple patent discloses swipe commands for iPhone’s keyboard
Apple’s Patent Application 20080316183 with the USPTO demonstrates how the iPhone’s keyboard will get finger swipe commands! According to the patent, users will be able to carry out four actions by swiping their fingers up, down, left or right. Swipe your finger up for Shift, down for Enter, Left for backspace and right for Space. What’s more, using more the one finger would lead to commands like deleting a word or a sentence or activating Caps Lock or even punctuation marks. Sweet! We’d definitely ask Apple to include this functionality in its next firmware upgrade. What say folks?26 December 2008 in Patents by Rajat AgrawalComment on this post
