Drag and Type Virtual Keyboard for Small Touch Screens over ARM9 Processor 1 2 RAAPARTI V V SRINIVAS , G. A.

Abstract: Small touch screens are widely used in consumer electronics, such as Smart phones and mobile electronic devices. However, typing on the small touch screen[4] is still worth studying. In fact, [9]users are experiencing difficulties and also many errors in typing alphanumeric keys with their thumbs because a small virtual keyboard[1],[6]even with the reduced set of touchable keys can only provide tiny size keys to the users. This paper studies a new style of typing method called Drag- and-Type[3], which leverages the dragging action instead of direct tapping on the touch screen to ease more accurate typing on the small virtual keyboard[1],[6]. Although the typing speed is controversial, the consumers can choose this method when an accurate typing is more required, for example, for a password entry that is quite more sensitive to erroneous key inputs. In that sense, the proposed method is further explored to the extension called Secure Drag-and-Type[3] for securing the password entry against shoulder-surfing and spyware attacks under the Drag and- Type paradigm. In the user study, it was found that the proposed method could be used for secure and accurate password entry and SMS delivery on the small touch screen [4]regarding the security sensitive consumer electronics applications.

I. INTRODUCTION UART port of the processor for text messaging purpose to A Touch screen is an input device normally layered on the user mobiles as shown in Fig.1. the top of an electronic visual display of an information processing system. Touch screen technology is the direct manipulation type gesture based technology. A device which works on touch screen technology is called as Touch screen. A user can give input or control the information processing system through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus/pen and-or one or more fingers. The user can use the touch screen to react to what is displayed and to control how it is displayed (for example by zooming the text size). The touch screen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, , or any other Fig.1.

The Qt is used mainly for developing application software with S3C2440A minimizes overall system costs and eliminates graphical user interfaces (GUIs); however, programs the need to configure additional components. without a GUI can be developed, such as command-line tools and consoles for servers. Qt uses standard C++ with extensions including signals and slots that simplify handling of events, and this helps in development of both GUI and server applications which receive their own set of event information and should process them accordingly. Qt supports many compilers, including the GCC C++ compiler and the Visual Studio suite. Qt can be used in several other programming languages via language bindings. It runs on the major desktop platforms and some of the mobile platforms. It has extensive internationalization support. Non-GUI features include SQL database access, XML parsing, JSON parsing, thread management and network support. V. DRAG AND TYPE OVERVIEW Fig.2. Friendly mini 2440. DRAG AND TYPE method overview There are two concerns motivated to develop a new style of typing B. GSM method called DRAG-AND-TYPE, on full layout of virtual GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is an keyboard on small touch screens[4]. On the flat touch open, digital cellular technology used for transmitting screen finger touch actions can be classified into two mobile voice and data services.GSM (Global System for actions i.e tapping and dragging. Two kinds of Drag-and Mobile communication) is a digital mobile telephone Type methods proposed: Drag-and-Tap[3] and Drag-and- system that is widely used in Europe and other parts of the Drop. In Drag-and-Tap method uses the tapping method world. GSM uses a variation of Time Division Multiple where as in the Drag-and-Drop method uses the dragging Access (TDMA) and is the most widely used of the three instead of direct tapping on full layout. In this method the digital wireless telephone technologies (TDMA, GSM and characters are dragging into the blank space area where user CDMA). GSM digitizes and compresses data, then sends it wants to type some text. Although typing speed is down a channel with two other streams of user data, each in controversial in both methods, but the drag-and-drop its own time slot. It operates at either the 900 MHz or 1,800 method is chosen when the accurate typing is required. MHz frequency band. It supports voice calls and data Mainly this method is used in password entry i.e more transfer speeds of upto 9.6 kbit/s, together with the sensitive to the errors. Drag-and-Drop method is further transmission of SMS (Short Message Service). extended to secure the password entry against the shoulder- surfing attacks. This method is called the Secure Drag-and- IV. SOFTWARE Type.
