Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are provided for analyzing key compression patterns on a keyboard using one or more computer servers and storage devices. In general, the systems and methods can include a computer system that keeps track of input from a keyboard over time and analyzes the resulting key compression patterns to determine whether the patterns satisfy predetermined criteria for activating one or more keyboard functions. The criteria can be defined to accommodate user error or inability to create a desired key compression pattern. In an exemplary embodiment, the computer system waits for a specified amount of time after receiving the keyboard input before activating certain keyboard functions. In this way, where a user accidentally waits too long before pressing a desired key, or where a user is not capable of pressing keys quickly, the computer system can still ascertain a user's intent to create a particular key compression pattern.
