Alternative Input Method #2

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Everyone who used the Parrot provided "keyboard" must have thought that it 
could have been done better. Please send in any ideas that are related to new 
input methods for the ASTEROID.

How about an app that acts as a bluetooth or USB keyboard from the phone? 
(atleast android, not sure how that would work from an iPhone).

I'm pretty sure this has already been done before for using the phone as a 
keyboard for a tablet and such. Shouldn't be hard to implement.

The problem with this is how the ASTEROID handles bluetooth. Bluetooth 
connections are not handled directly by Android, they're handled by the HSTI 
(correct me if I'm wrong). So this method may only be possible when there is a 
way to do bluetooth serial or similar profiles via the HSTI.

So I guess using a bluetooth hardware micro keyboard should also be tricky to 
implement ?
And isn't there a way to use the parrot voice recognition ? By spelling each 
words. Even trickier...
Entering an address in navigon is such a pain !

Maybe instead of dispalying the entire keyboard and losing a lot of screen real 
estate, how about a pop up horizontal jog wheel - it displays the current 
letter larger, and the wheel scrolls left/right of the currently selected 
letter.  Perhaps it might not offer much improvement over the Parrot keyboard, 
but it should save some screen real estate.

The horizontal jog wheel is an interesting idea. The Input Method is definetly 
something we have to improve. The stock "keyboard" lacks performance and 
usability.

What about putting the characters on a wheel as well? I've seen a similar 
design in modern Audi Systems. Any comments?

Parrot has enabled voice search to work with TuneIn radio. perhaps it can be 
harnessed for this now as well? somewhere in their API? Maybe they can provide 
more info on their DevZone site.
