This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to further develop the Tapping Finger Identification (TFI) technology investigated in Phase I. As mobile devices become more powerful and ubiquitous, text entry remains a major bottleneck to the wider adoption of mobile computing. To address this urgent need in lack of an acceptable solution, this TFI technology enables high-speed input in mobile devices and gaming applications using conventional typing techniques and keyboard layouts. In addition to demonstrating the feasibility of TFI during Phase I, the project will develop an IP strategy and a set of tools essential to future research and development. To date, one prototype has been implemented and a license agreement to commercialize some portion of the TFI technology was reached with an external partner. Completion of the Phase II research in two years will pave the way for commercialization of this innovative technology as we transition toward mobile computing. The technology developed could potentially impact a broad range of application areas, including mobile computing, gaming, military, and mobile security.Mobile devices are becoming more powerful and ubiquitous. According to the IDC, convergent mobile devices grew 51% in 2007, and will grow from 124 million to 376 million in 2012. Data entry, however, remains a major bottleneck to the wider adoption of mobile computing. Most users are frustrated with existing input methods on portable devices, such as phones and mobile PCs. Much less a paragraph of text, simply entering a website's URL in a phone or mobile PC would be a burden for many. To address this urgent need in lack of an acceptable solution, the outcomes of this project projects the enablement of high speed, efficient mobile input using conventional typing techniques and keyboard layouts.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。本小企业创新研究（SBIR）II期项目旨在进一步开发I.移动设备变得更加强大，无处不在，文本输入仍然是更广泛采用移动计算的主要瓶颈。为了解决这种迫切需求，由于缺乏可接受的解决方案，该TFI技术可以使用常规的打字技术和键盘布局在移动设备和游戏应用程序中进行高速输入。除了证明TFI在第一阶段的可行性外，该项目还将制定IP策略和一组对未来研究和开发必不可少的工具。迄今为止，已经实施了一个原型，并与外部合作伙伴达成了一部分TFI技术的许可协议。在我们过渡到移动计算时，两年内第二阶段研究的完成将为这项创新技术的商业化铺平道路。开发的技术可能会影响广泛的应用领域，包括移动计算，游戏，军事和移动安全性。摩托车设备变得越来越强大和无处不在。根据IDC的数据，Contrengent移动设备在2007年增长了51％，并将从2012年增长到1.24亿增加到3.76亿。但是，数据输入仍然是更广泛采用移动计算的主要瓶颈。大多数用户对可移植设备（例如电话和移动PC）上现有的输入方法感到沮丧。更少的文字段落，只需在电话或移动PC中输入网站的URL就会负担许多人。为了满足这种迫切需求，由于缺乏可接受的解决方案，该项目的结果将使用常规的打字技术和键盘布局来实现高速，有效的移动输入。
