Claim 6:
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising: determining whether a soft keypad appeared on the touch-screen at the same time that the user inputs were received; weighting the intended input type towards the gesture type in response to determining that the soft keypad appeared on the touch-screen at the same time that the user inputs were received, wherein the identification of the intended input type is based upon the weighting applied to the handwriting type and the gesture type.
