An adaptive interface for a programmable system, for predicting a desired user function, based on user history, as well as machine internal status and context. The apparatus receives an input from the user and other data. A predicted input is presented for confirmation by the user, and the predictive mechanism is updated based on this feedback. Also provided is a pattern recognition system for a multimedia device, wherein a user input is matched to a video stream on a conceptual basis, allowing inexact programming of a multimedia device. The system analyzes a data stream for correspondence with a data pattern for processing and storage. The data stream is subjected to adaptive pattern recognition to extract features of interest to provide a highly compressed representation that may be efficiently processed to determine correspondence. Applications of the interface and system include a video cassette recorder (VCR), medical device, vehicle control system, audio device, environmental control system, securities trading terminal, and smart house. The system optionally includes an actuator for effecting the environment of operation, allowing closed-loop feedback operation and automated learning.

An enhanced text entry system using word-level analysis to automatically correct inaccuracies in user keystroke entries on reduced keyboards. The keyboard (105) may be a part of a touch-sensitive panel or display screen (100) or on a mechanical keyboard system. A method and system are defined which determine one or more alternative textual interpretations of each sequence of inputs detected within a designated auto-correcting keyboard region (106). The actual contact locations for the keystrokes may occur outside the boundaries of the specific keyboard key regions, where the distance from each contact location to each corresponding intended character may in general increase with the expected frequency of the intended word in the language or in a particular context. The user can easily select the intended word from among the generated interpretations.

An operating sequence for a handheld computing device manages the device to automatically detect cues describing the device's environmental and user actions performed with the device, learn which cues and cue combinations are relevant to predict user actions, and then in response to occurrence of the relevant cues, predictively implementing the appropriate user action or configuring the device in anticipation of user action.

Contextual prediction of user words and user actions

There is disclosed an enhanced text entry system which uses word-level analysis to correct inaccuracies automatically in user keystroke entries on reduced-size or virtual keyboards. A method and system are defined which determine one or more alternate textual interpretations of each sequence of inputs detected within a designated auto-correcting region. The actual interaction locations for the keystrokes may occur outside the boundaries of the specific keyboard key regions associated with the actual characters of the word interpretations proposed or offered for selection, where the distance from each interaction location to each corresponding intended character may in general increase with the expected frequency of the intended word in the language or in a particular context. Likewise, in a virtual keyboard system, the keys actuated may differ from the keys actually associated with the letters of the word interpretations. Each such sequence corresponds to a complete word, and the user can easily select the intended word from among the generated interpretations. Additionally, when the system cannot identify a sufficient number of likely word interpretation candidates of the same length as the input sequence, candidates are identified whose initial letters correspond to a likely interpretation of the input sequence.

A communication terminal initiates a Wireless Session Protocol (WSP) session by forwarding a request of data to a server. The request comprises an identification of the requested data and a communication terminal identification number provided by the server. The server, when receiving a request containing a communication terminal identification number, recalls user profile information from an associated database memory corresponding to said communication terminal identification number. The user profile information indicates a data format which will be handled by the communication terminal. Then the server replies to the request by forwarding the requested data in the format defined by the user profile information.

The input of words into a text string in a communication terminal is handled by recording a key stroke sequence inputted for characterising one of said words, and comparing said key strokes sequence with candidates in a word completion directory in order to find word completion candidates matching said key stroke sequence. One of said matching word completion candidates is displayed in the display for selection by the user. When the user selects a word which exceeds a first predetermined number of characters the selected word is added to the directory including a plurality of word completion candidates, if the selected word is not present there already.

A system comprising at least one terminal and a server in radio communication therewith. The terminal comprising a transceiver, arranged to send radio packets to and receive radio packets from the server, and a browser application for displaying content, arranged to initiate a first application by accessing a first item associated with the first application using a first content identifier. The application being provided by the combination of the first item and further items each of which is accessible using an individual content identifier, and each of which comprises content or means for linking to content. The terminal further comprising a user interface connected to the browser having a display for displaying content and user input means. The server having a transceiver for sending and receiving radio packets from the terminal and storage means for storing content, accessible for transfer to the terminal.

A communication terminal having a text editor application

A terminal for providing an application using a browser. The terminal comprises a transceiver arranged to send radio packets to and receive radio packets from a server, and means for determining if the terminal and server are able to communicate. The terminal further comprises an outbox buffer; and a browser application for displaying content stored in the server. The browser application is arranged to initiate a first application by accessing a first item associated with the first application from the server using a first content identifier. The application being provided by the combination of the first item and further items each of which is accessible using an individual content identifier, and each of which comprises content, or means for linking to content. The browser further comprising means for creating content in association with an item and means for transferring messages comprising the created content to the server.
