Abstract:
1. A method of entering data on a data entry device (DED) comprising a plurality of sensitive zones, the method comprising: identifying, by a processor, a first activation of a first sensitive zone (SZ) of the plurality of sensitive zones by a user; identifying, by the processor, a first activation of a second SZ of the plurality of sensitive zones after identifying the first activation of the first SZ; identifying, by the processor, a first time delay between the first activation of the first SZ and the first activation of the second SZ; invoking, by the processor and in response to the first time delay exceeding a first time delay threshold, a successive mode; selecting, by the processor and from a first active table stored in a memory operatively connected to the processor, a first object in response to invoking the successive mode, the first selection of the first SZ, and the first selection of the second SZ; identifying, by the processor, a validation of the first object after selecting the first object; producing, by the processor, the first object in response to receiving the validation; identifying, by the processor, a second activation of the first SZ; identifying, by the processor, a second activation of the second SZ; identifying, by the processor, a second time delay between the second activation of the first SZ and the second activation of the second SZ; invoking, by the processor and in response to the second time delay being less than the first time delay threshold, a simultaneous mode; and selecting, by the processor and from the first active table, a second object in response to invoking the simultaneous mode, the second selection of the first SZ, and the second selection of the second SZ.
