Abstract:
A computing device is described that outputs, for display at a presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys. The computing device determines, based on an initial selection of one or more keys from the plurality of keys, one or more candidate words. The computing device also determines, based on the one or more candidate words, a probability that a particular key will be selected after the initial selection of the one or more keys. Responsive to determining that the probability does not satisfy a probability threshold, the computing device outputs, for display at the presence-sensitive display, an updated graphical keyboard that includes a graphical indication designating an area of the graphical keyboard associated with the particular key as being an additional portion of the graphical keyboard for selecting a character associated with an adjacent key.
Abstract:
A graphical keyboard including a number of keys is output for display at a display device. The computing device receives an indication of a gesture to select at least two of the keys based at least in part on detecting an input unit at locations of a presence-sensitive input device. In response to the detecting and while the input unit is detected at the presence-sensitive input device: the computing device determines a candidate word for the gesture based at least in part on the at least two keys and the candidate word is output for display at a first location of the output device. In response to determining that the input unit is no longer detected at the presence-sensitive input device, the displayed candidate word is output for display at a second location of the display device.
Abstract:
A computing device outputs, for display, a virtual keyboard comprising a plurality of virtual keys. Furthermore, the computing device receives an indication of a first movement of an input object along a spatial path. The computing device determines, based on locations of the virtual keys and locations along the spatial path, a plurality of character strings. In response to determining that the first movement has ceased for at least a threshold amount of time, the computing device outputs, for display, the plurality of character strings. While the character strings are displayed, the computing device receives an indication of a second movement of the input object. The computing device selects, in response to the indication of the second movement, and based at least in part on a direction of the second movement of the input object, a particular character string from the plurality of character strings.
Abstract:
A computing device includes at least one processor and at least one module operable by the at least one processor to output, for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys, receive an indication of a first gesture portion, and determine, based on the first gesture portion, at least one candidate string. The at least one module may be further operable to output, for display at a first location of a display device, the at least one candidate string, receive an indication of a second gesture portion that traverses a location that corresponds to the at least one candidate string, wherein the first gesture portion and the second gesture portion are included in a single continuous gesture, select, based on the second gesture portion, the at least one candidate string, and output, for display at a second location of the display device, the at least one candidate string.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus, such as an electronic device (104), for displaying suggestion words in response to a touch input to a presence-sensitive display (106). The presence-sensitive display (106) displays a touchscreen keyboard (110) having a plurality of key areas (112) each associated with a character (114). The method and apparatus may determine (308) the character (114) of the touchscreen keyboard based on a touch location of the touch input on a key area (112) of the touchscreen keyboard (110), and may display (310) a plurality of suggestion words that include the determined character over at least a portion of the touchscreen keyboard during the touch input. When the touch input has ended, the method and apparatus may stop displaying the plurality of suggestion words. The method and apparatus may also display a plurality of suggestion words in a text view area separate from the touchscreen keyboard.
Abstract:
A computing device is described that outputs a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys. Responsive to receiving an indication of a gesture that traverses a first group of keys of the plurality of keys, the computing device determines a second group of keys of the plurality of keys. At least one key of the second group of keys is different from at least one key of the first group of keys. The computing device outputs, for display, a virtual path traversing a respective location of each respective key of the second group of keys.
Abstract:
A computing device is described that outputs, for display, a graphical keyboard including a set of keys. The set of keys includes a first key that is associated with a first character. The computing device determines a candidate word that includes the first character and determines a score associated with the candidate word that indicates a probability of the candidate word being entered by one or more subsequent selections of one or more of the set of keys. In response to determining that the score associated with the candidate word satisfies a threshold, the computing device determines, based on a spelling of the candidate word, a second character of the candidate word and outputs, for display within the first key, a graphical indication of the first character and a graphical indication of the second character.
