Abstract

Touch screen devices, which have become ubiquitous in our daily lives, offer users flexible input and output operations. Typical operation methods for touch screen devices include the use of a stylus or a finger. A touch screen user can select a stylus or finger depending on the user's situation and preference. In this paper, we propose a dynamic method of assigning symbols to keys for a software keyboard on a touch screen device. This method provides flexible adjustment to both the stylus operation and finger operation.
