Abstract:
A soft input panel (SIP) for a computing device is configured to be used by a person holding a computing device with one hand. For example, a user grips a mobile computing device with his right hand at the bottom right corner and uses his right thumb to touch the various keys of the SIP, or grips a mobile computing device with his left hand at the bottom left corner and uses his left thumb to touch the various keys of the SIP. The SIP comprises arced or slanted rows of keys that correspond to the natural pivoting motion of the user's thumb.
