Abstract

See full text

A method and system for generating a transparent or semi-transparent full-screen text entry interface for mobile devices. The interface provides a user of a mobile computing device with a full-screen interface, the text entry layer, used to input text into an application or operating system (OS), while enabling the user to still see and interact with the application or OS (the application layer). One of the text entry layer and application layer is active at a time; touch inputs to the device are attributed exclusively to the active layer. When active, the text entry layer is displayed over the application layer. The system handles switching between active and inactive states for the text entry layer and application layer. The system further provides visual cues that indicate which of the application layer and text entry layer is currently the active layer.
