Abstract

An apparatus and method for encoding and communicating symbols is provided. A
user encodes a symbol using a sliding motion (14 and 16) of a fingertip (10) in relation to a proximity and touch-detecting glance pad (4). The user imagines a polygon (2) on the surface of the pad. The user makes an encoding touch generally coextensive with one of the sides (8) of the polygon (2) in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction (14 and 16). The glance pad (4) detects the motion and infers the intent of the user, assigning a symbol to the encoding touch.
