Abstract:
A correction method for use with a pen based computer system, the method comprising the steps of:receiving an insertion point coordinate; receiving an initial pen down coordinate corresponding to an initial pen down; receiving a present pen down coordinate corresponding to a present position of a pen; receiving a pen up coordinate corresponding to a pen up; defining an ordered set of points between and including the initial pen down coordinate and the pen up coordinate; determining a first time interval between the initial pen down and the pen up; determining a second time interval between the initial pen down and the present pen down; determining if the relative position of at least two of the initial pen down coordinate, the present pen down coordinate, the pen up coordinate, the first time interval, the second time interval and the ordered set of points corresponds to a set of pre-selected parameters which correspond to activaton of one or a plurality of modes; and activating the mode.
