  • Patent number: 10691223
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for interpreting text entry for an input/output device. The method includes one or more processors receiving input from a set of sensors. The sensors are grouped in segments corresponding to a finger of a user. The method further includes one or more processors identifying input by a user of a gesture into a sensor of the set of sensors. The method further includes one or more sensors determining a first alphanumeric character that corresponds to the identified gesture input by the user. The method further includes one or more processes generating an input stream of alphanumeric characters, the input stream comprising the determined first alphanumeric character that corresponds to the identified gesture and one or more additional alphanumeric characters determined from identified gestures input by the user.
