HTC’s new G-sensor based text entry method

HTC just submitted a patent for a new text entry method using the G-sensor in its device. The idea is fairly simple. Each key has multiple characters, tilt the device when you hit a key will determine what character gets registered.

Abstract

A method for inputting a character adapted for a handheld electronic device is provided. In the present method, a reference plane is determined first. Then, a tilting angle and a tilting direction of the handheld electronic device deviating from the reference plane are detected. Then, the tilting direction is indicated, and an input of a key of the keypad is received. Finally, a character corresponding to the key at the tilting direction is displayed on the handheld electronic device. Therefore, only two actions including tilting the handheld electronic device and pressing the key are required for the users to complete the input of a character. As such, the method is intuitive, convenient, and fast for inputting the character. [Via wmpoweruser]

I was thinking the same thing...it might be a cool thing to show off to people but I don't see it making text input any easier
