Abstract:
A character input apparatus comprises a display unit configured to display a graphic zone that displays multiple character groups including one or more characters and a touch zone that senses a touch of an input mean; a display control unit configured to select any one of the multiple character groups depending on a touch type of the input mean sensed by the touch zone and display the selected character at a predetermined position of the graphic zone; and an input unit configured to set the character displayed at the predetermined position of the graphic zone for a predetermined time as an input character. The display control unit selects a character moved to be closest to the predetermined position when the characters displayed on the graphic zone are moved in a sliding direction of the input mean and displays the selected character at the predetermined position of the graphic zone.
Abstract:
A data processing apparatus that is capable of reducing the garbling of characters caused by the difference among the character codes when setting data are transferred to another apparatus by the import-export function. A storage unit stores setting data for the data processing apparatus. A receiving unit receives an instruction for exporting the setting data stored in the storage unit. A converting unit converts Unicode data included in the setting data into character code data of language, which is set to the data processing apparatus. An export unit exports the character code data converted by the converting unit and the Unicode data.
Abstract:
A device designed to teach the Amharic language and standardize its script, including a computer keyboard containing a number of keys, including: an initial group of n biunivocal keys corresponding to n most frequent consonants or main consonants shown in the order 6; a second group of biunivocal keys, with a ≦n corresponding respectively to the main consonants presenting under order 1; a third group of biunivocal keys corresponding respectively to consonants other than the main consonants or secondary consonants presenting under order 6; and a keypad of eight silent keys corresponding respectively to eight orders, where pressing one of the silent keys on this keypad before pressing a biunivocal key corresponding to a main consonant or a secondary consonant will result in printing the main or secondary consonant under the order corresponding to the silent layer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a sensor network, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, and technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method and an electronic device for displaying a virtual keyboard are provided. The method includes detecting a touch on a virtual keyboard, determining whether the detected touch moves from a first area within the virtual keyboard to another area, and changing and displaying, when the touch moves from the first area to the other area, the virtual keyboard according to a movement direction of the touch.
Abstract:
A character input method and device based on an arrow key are provided. The method of the present invention includes: querying a letter database according to triggering of a arrow key and obtaining a letter set corresponding to the arrow key; arranging the letter set corresponding to the arrow key according to a predetermined rule, and partially or fully spreading and then displaying the letter set in a display region; displaying a selection cursor at a default position in the display region, where the selection cursor is used for identifying a currently selected letter; and inputting the letter identified by the selection cursor into a character input region according to a predetermined selection rule. Embodiments of the present invention are mainly applied to a character input process based on an arrow key.
Abstract:
A bidirectional text display method embodied in a functional programming language which first assigns bidirectional attributes to a logical character stream. Next, through explicit processing, level numbers are assigned, honoring any directional overrides present in the logical character stream. Subsequent weak and neutral type processing potentially causes attribute types to change based upon surrounding attribute types. Then, implicit processing assigns final level numbers to the stream which control reordering. Finally, reordering processing produces a sequence of characters in display order. By separating the facets of layout dealing with reordering from those that are concerned with rendering, such as line breaking, glyph selection, and shaping, the Haskell-based method is more discernible and comprehendable, thereby allowing it to be more useful as a model upon which others may base bidirectional implementations.
Abstract:
An information processing system for input prediction that displays written character string candidates of words or phrases corresponding to an input character string in a terminal device. The terminal device acquires internal candidates by performing a search based on the input character string and transmits a candidate transmission request signal including identification information of a terminal dictionary stored in the terminal device and the input character string to a server. The server performs a search through the terminal dictionary corresponding to the identification information in the received signal and through a server dictionary dedicated to the server. From dictionary data extracted from the server dictionary, the server returns dictionary data of external candidates different from dictionary data extracted from the terminal dictionary as external candidates to the terminal device. The terminal device generates a final candidate list by arranging the internal and external candidates according to a predetermined priority.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, in which an input method editor (IME) communicates with a central data store and stores user data, e.g., typing patterns and user-generated words associated with the user, in a user profile. A client device associated with the user may instantiate an IME environment and access the user profile by a client login over a network.
Abstract:
Some examples may include generating a browsing history language model based on browsing history information. Further, some implementations may include predicting and presenting a non-Latin character string based at least in part on the browsing history language model, such as in response to receiving a Latin character string via an input method editor interface.
Abstract:
A system associated with a text entry application, such as email or instant messaging, comprises an optional onscreen representation of a circular keyboard, a list of potential linguistic object matches, and a message area where the selected words are entered. The circular keyboard is manipulated via a hardware joystick or game-pad with analog joystick or omni-directional rocker switch built therein. The user points the joystick in the general direction of the desired letter, and then continues pointing roughly to each letter in the desired word. Once all letters have been roughly selected, buttons are used to select a specific word from the list of potential matches and send the selected word to the message area.
