  • Virtual Keyboard Based on Single Finger Recognition
    A Virtual Keyboard Implementation Based on Finger Recognition Yang Zhang A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Computer and Information Sciences (MCIS) 2016 School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences Abstract A keyboard requires a great deal of resources and is restricted by its physical features. Additionally, discarded keyboards also inevitably contribute to environmental pollution. Consequently, the touch screen is designed to replace the physical keyboard and thus reduce these flaws. However, the internal digital keyboard on the touch screen takes up a substantial amount of space, which causes some content to be covered. Moreover, the touch screen can be dirtied by fingerprints and become worn over time by human fingernails through frequent use. Hence, it is necessary to develop a new type of environment-friendly virtual keyboard with fewer flaws. In this thesis, the author develops a novel type of virtual keyboard that allows users to use fingers to type on a piece of paper at any fixed plane. Finger recognition is based on human skin tone and then the BWMORPH algorithm is utilized to recognize the user’s fingertip. If the user’s fingertip has remained on a key for a long time, the program will regard this key as an input. The experiments in this thesis adopt five kinds of customized paper keyboards on a wall to demonstrate the usability of the proposed virtual keyboard. Typing without touching the keyboard is fulfilled to ignore obstrutions covering the paper keyboard. The experiment results indicate that the overall recognition rate of the proposed virtual keyboard is 94.62%.

  • Virtual-Keyboard-Projection.Pdf
    VIRTUAL KEYBOARD PROJECTION Deepshikha1, Anupam Rai2 and Divyansh Awasthi3 1,2,3 Department of Computer Science, IIMT College of Engineering,Greater Noida, Abstract - There are different kinds of input of computers but here we prefer a recent input method of computers. The preferred method is called Virtual Keyboard. Input to small devices are becoming a progressively salient factor in the development for the ever-more secure embedded market. We discuss various Virtual Keyboard and its flexibility and applications. Speech input promises to become a reasonable alternative to insignificant keypads, yet its limited authenticity, robustness, and flexibleness render it inappropriate for certain tasks and/or environments. Keywords - Communication, Sensors, Input Method, Virtual keyboard, Template projection. I. INTRODUCTION Virtual keyboards are commonly used as an on-screen input method in devices with no physical keyboard, where there is no room for one, such as a pocket computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer or touch screen-equipped mobile phone. A virtual keyboard is a software component that allows a user to enter characters. A virtual keyboard can usually be operated with multiple input devices, which may include a touch screen, an actual computer keyboard and a computer mouse in space and the user could type by moving fingers through the air. In one technology, the keyboard is projected optically on a flat surface and, as the user touches the image of a key, the optical device detects the stroke and sends it to the computer. In another technology, the keyboard is projected on an area and selected keys are transmitted as wireless signals using the short-range Bluetooth technology.

  • A Study of Soft Keyboard Layout and Hand Posture
    Are Split Tablet Keyboards Better? A Study of Soft Keyboard Layout and Hand Posture Thomas Bekken Aschim1, Julie Lidahl Gjerstad1, Lars Vidar Lien1, Rukaiya Tahsin1 and Frode Eika Sandnes1,2 [0000-0001-7781-748X] 1Oslo Metropolitan University, P.O. Box 4 St. Olavs plass, 0130 Oslo, Norway 2Kristiania University College, Prinsens gate 7-9, Postboks 1190 Sen-trum, 0107 Oslo, Norway [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Soft Qwerty keyboards are widely used on mobile devices such as tab- lets and smartphones. Research into physical keyboards have found split key- boards to be ergonomically better than ordinary physical keyboards. Conse- quently, the idea of split keyboards has also been applied to tablet soft keyboards. A controlled experiment with n = 20 participants was conducted to assess if split soft keyboards pose an improvement over ordinary soft keyboard on tables with both one-handed and two-handed use. The results show that the split keyboard performs worse than ordinary keyboards in terms of text entry speed, error rate and preference. Keywords: Split keyboard, Text entry, Qwerty, Soft keyboard, Tablet. 1 Introduction Tablets offer users a convenient computing platform with visually and highly interac- tive access to information via large touch displays. Although direct manipulation through various browsing gestures is one of the huge benefits of touch interaction, the task of entering text is still highly prevalent for sending messages and filling in forms. Although many innovative text entry methods have been proposed for touch displays the simple Qwerty virtual keyboard appears to be still the most popular as users already are familiar with physical Qwerty keyboards and many users have developed highly efficient touch-typing skills.

  • Drag and Type Virtual Keyboard for Small Touch Screens Over ARM9 Processor 1 2 RAAPARTI V V SRINIVAS , G
    ISSN 2319-8885 Vol.04,Issue.48, November-2015, Pages:10449-10451 www.ijsetr.com Drag and Type Virtual Keyboard for Small Touch Screens over ARM9 Processor 1 2 RAAPARTI V V SRINIVAS , G. A. ARUN KUMAR 1PG Scholar, Dept of ECE, Aditya College of Engineering & Technology, Kakinada, AP, India,E-mail: [email protected]. 2Asst Prof, Dept of ECE, Aditya College of Engineering & Technology, Kakinada, AP, India, E-mail: [email protected]. 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, Smartphone [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.

  • Augmented Reality Keyboard for an Interactive Gesture Recognition System
    TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN MCS DISSERTATION Augmented Reality Keyboard for an Interactive Gesture Recognition System Author: Supervisor: SAM GREEN Dr. Gerard Lacey A dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree: Masters in Computer Science at the School Of Computer Science & Statistics Submitted to the University of Dublin, Trinity College, May 2016 Declaration I, Sam Green, declare that the following dissertation (“Augmented Reality Keyboard for an Interactive Gesture Recognition System”) except where otherwise stated, is entirely my own work; that it has not previously been submitted as an exercise for a degree, either in Trinity College Dublin, or in any other University; and that the library may lend or copy it or any part thereof on request. Signed: Date: ii Summary The goal of this dissertation was to develop an augemented reality keyboard which provides touchless, gesture-based typing. The system’s design was motivated by re- cent developments in 3D camera technology which have allowed time-of-light depth sensing hardware devices to become highly accurate and generally inexpensive. Rec- ognizing gestures in mid-air for text-entry was an important facet of this system’s de- sign, due to the unique applicability of touchless typing in a number of use cases and environments. The application was implemented for SureWash, an existing healthcare cart-based system which automates the process of hand hygiene training for hospital sta↵. The system was designed to model the traditional QWERTY keyboard in terms of its graphical user interface. An augmented reality approach was also specified in the de- sign, which would allow the interface to blend real-time video streams with virtual UI elements.

However the concerns on privacy on Open Source are highly overlooked. Here, we intend to highlight the potential security risk in the open source mobile operating system, Android by implementing 'Touchlogger'. This application is capable of recording the touch activities happening on the smart phones keyboard. As the application will be a covert application, we wish to achieve our goal of logging by a third party keyboard. Our application will create a log file of activities done by the user in a certain time span. The activities such as call logs, texts, text messages and browsing history can be logged. The log file will keep the record of all activities and can be accessed by authorized user only. The log activity will be sent to the desired receiver. In user's interest to protect the privacy, one should always install application from Google Play Store only. Upon installation, the user should check the requested permission and be alerted if there is some slowness while typing.

Sion (East), Mumbai (India) ABSTRACT Now a Days computing is not constraint to desktops and laptops, it has got its way into mobile devices like mobile phones. But the input device for the computing process has not been modified from the last few years. eg:-QWERTY keyboard. Virtual Keyboard allows users to work on any surfaces by using sensor technology if it is a input device. Virtual Devices have developed a flashlight-size gadget that projects an image of a keyboard on any surface and let’s people input data by typing on the image. The Virtual Keyboard uses light to project a full-sized computer keyboard onto almost any surface, and disappears when not in use. Used with Smartphone and PDAs, the keyboard provides a practical way to do email, word processing and spreadsheet tasks, allowing the user to leave the laptop computer at home. Keywords: Sensors, Template Projection, Illumination, Interpretation, Communication I. INTRODUCTION Virtual keyboard is just another example of today‟s computer trend of „smaller and faster‟. Computing is now not limited to desktops and laptops, it has found way into mobile device also. But what is not changed is the input device, the good old QWERTY keyboard. The virtual keyboard technology is a tabletop unit that projects a laser image of a keyboard on any flat surface. They are not the electronic device they are just the set of lights that look likes the keyboard and works like a keyboard.

  • Camk: a Camera-Based Keyboard for Small Mobile Devices
    CamK: a Camera-based Keyboard for Small Mobile Devices Yafeng Yiny, Qun Liz, Lei Xiey, Shanhe Yiz, Ed Novakz, Sanglu Luy yState Key Laboratory for Novel Software Technology, Nanjing University, China zCollege of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA, USA Email: [email protected], yflxie, [email protected] [email protected], zfsyi, [email protected] Abstract—Due to the smaller size of mobile devices, on-screen keystrokes. CamK can be used in a wide variety of scenarios, keyboards become inefficient for text entry. In this paper, we e.g., the office, coffee shops, outdoors, etc. present CamK, a camera-based text-entry method, which uses an arbitrary panel (e.g., a piece of paper) with a keyboard layout to input text into small devices. CamK captures the images during the typing process and uses the image processing technique to recognize the typing behavior. The principle of CamK is to extract the keys, track the user’s fingertips, detect and localize the keystroke. To achieve high accuracy of keystroke localization and low false positive rate of keystroke detection, CamK introduces the initial training and online calibration. Additionally, CamK optimizes computation-intensive modules to reduce the time latency. We implement CamK on a mobile device running Android. Our experimental results show that CamK can achieve above 95% accuracy of keystroke localization, with Fig. 1. A typical use case of CamK. only 4:8% false positive keystrokes. When compared to on-screen There are three key technical challenges in CamK. (1) High keyboards, CamK can achieve 1.25X typing speedup for regular accuracy of keystroke localization: The inter-key distance in text input and 2.5X for random character input.
