A system for entering a secure Personal Identification Number (PIN) into a mobile computing device includes a mobile computing device and a peripheral device that are connected via a data communication link. The mobile computing device includes a mobile application and a display and the mobile application runs on the mobile computing device and displays a grid on the mobile computing device display. The peripheral device includes a display and an encryption engine, and the peripheral device display displays a grid corresponding to the grid displayed on the mobile computing device display. Positional inputs on the mobile computing device grid are sent to the peripheral device and the peripheral device decodes the positional inputs into PIN digits and generates an encrypted PIN and then sends the encrypted PIN back to the mobile computing device.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to creating and administering artificial reality collaborative working environments and providing interaction modes for them. An XR work system can provide and control such artificial reality collaborative working environments to enable, for example, A) links between real-world surfaces and XR surfaces; B) links between multiple real-world areas to XR areas with dedicated functionality; C) maintaining access, while inside the artificial reality working environment, to real-world work tools such as the user's computer screen and keyboard; D) various hand and controller modes for different interaction and collaboration modalities; E) use-based, multi-desk collaborative room configurations; and F) context-based auto population of users and content items into the artificial reality working environment.

Disclosed herein are a text input apparatus for improving speech recognition performance and a method using the same. The text input method may include arranging all characters on an input screen including multiple key input areas in consideration of usage frequency of respective characters and usage association between the characters, setting input schemes for all the characters in consideration of positions of the multiple key input areas and positions of characters arranged in each key input area, and inputting characters through touch-based input corresponding to the input schemes.

A method by a network device for dynamically detecting emotional states of a user operating a client end station to interact with an application. The method includes receiving information regarding user inputs received by the client end station from the user while the user interacted with the application during a particular time period and determining an emotional state of the user based on analyzing the information and information regarding user inputs received by the client end station from the user while the user interacted with the application during one or more previous time periods that together with the particular time period form a time window.

Systems and methods for authentication code entry in touch-sensitive screen enabled devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for entering data to a data entry device comprising at least one computer processor and a touch-sensitive screen may include (1) the touch-sensitive screen sensing a first input comprising at least one finger touch; (2) the touch-sensitive screen sensing a release of the first input; (3) the at least one computer processor determining a first number of finger touches in the first input; and (4) the at least one computer processor using the first number of finger touches to identify a first portion of an authentication code.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for a voice-centric virtual or soft keyboard (or keypad). Unlike other keyboards, embodiments of the present disclosure prioritize the voice keyboard, meanwhile providing users with a quick and uniform navigation to other keyboards (e.g., alphabet, punctuations, symbols, emoji's, etc.). In addition, in embodiments, common actions, such as delete and return are also easily accessible. In embodiments, the keyboard is also configurable to allow a user to organize buttons according to their desired use and layout. Embodiments of such a keyboard provide a voice-centric, seamless, and powerful interface experience for users.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for providing customized keyboards for receiving user inputs, and view regions for displaying information for users in useful arrangements. Such keyboards include keys that are pre-programmed to reflect the issues present in each trading pane of the view regions. Using such keys, a user may direct the trading application to quickly and efficiently switch between multiple issues, and place, manipulate or cancel orders on them. The keyboard may also be designed such that multiple keys may be disabled, replaced or mapped to perform different functions.

The disclosed embodiments are directed to secondary methods of communicating with a drug delivery device when the primary method is unavailable. Secondary methods include the use of a pattern of taps on the housing of the drug delivery device to convey authentication information and commands to the drug delivery device. Feedback confirming the interpretation of the pattern of taps may be provided to the user via a vibration, sound, or blinking lights.

According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an image interface, an input interface, a display interface, a manipulation interface, a storage unit, and a processor. The processor is configured to cause a display terminal through a display interface to display a screen so as to receive an input of a key through the manipulation interface; transmit an operation signal indicating the key to the one of external devices through the input interface; and when the key is a repeat key, transmit an operation signal for inputting a character string indicated by repeat information to the one of the external devices through the input interface.

An input device for an information handling system may include a body and a plurality of three-input switches positioned on the body. Each of the plurality of three-input switches includes a first outer portion, pressable to enter a first input, a center portion, pressable to enter a second input, and a second outer portion, pres sable to enter a third input. The first outer portion is adjacent to a first side of the center portion, and the second outer portion is adjacent to a second side of the center portion.
