Summary:The invention relates to a man-machine interface method using apparatuses having a small input surface of the portable telephone type, connected watch or digital tablet. It consists of a means of selecting an element, from a group of elements. The invention makes it possible to input characters of the alphabet but also any other items, ideograms, symbols, actions. For this purpose, the proposed invention uses a screen, a device for locating at least one contact on this screen and a pointing device such as a finger or a stylus. The invention makes it possible to reduce input errors related to the promiscuity of the elements of the usual methods of input of the virtual keyboard type by increasing the size of the areas to be pointed at. The invention does not make it necessary to learn a way of inputting an element beyond the basic principle of pointing and moving this pointer. The invention allows on average faster input of the elements than a multiplicity of presses on an area. The invention requires only a small input surface. The system defines the use of a magnification-reduction pair, of overlaying, of an input reminder aiding the user in the use thereof. The invention can be located as a function of the applications and languages used.
