TLDR
In this article, an apparatus and method for providing visual indication of character ambiguity and ensuing reduction of such ambiguity during text entry are described, where an application text entry field (701) is presented in a display screen, into which the user enters text by means of a reduced keyboard and a disambiguating system.
Abstract
An apparatus and method for providing visual indication of character ambiguity and ensuing reduction of such ambiguity during text entry are described. An application text entry field (701) is presented in a display screen, into which the user enters text by means of a reduced keyboard and a disambiguating system. The default or most likely word construct for the current key sequence may be presented at the insertion point of the text entry field. An indication of ambiguity (702) is presented in the display screen to communicate to the user the possible ambiguous characters associated with each key. A word choice list field (703) may also be present to display at least one word construct matching the current key sequence.

Handheld electronic device with text disambiguation

TL;DR: In this paper, a handheld electronic device with a reduced QWERTY keyboard and disambiguation software is presented, which outputs a default output and a number of variants based on the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants provided by various logic structures resident on the device.

Device incorporating improved text input mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper, a text entry device is used to display m-words of data on a display screen and a processor receives data from the text entry devices and causes it to be displayed on the display screen.

Method and device incorporating improved text input mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and device incorporating an improved text input mechanism is described. But the method is limited to a set of candidates for a given context, a candidate being a possible textual continuation of the present context and having a relevance score assigned; arranging the candidates in groups, each group having a group designator; displaying the group designators; prompting the user to select a group and receiving the user selection; displaying candidates of the selected group, the displayed candidates being arranged according to their respective scores.

Touchscreen keyboard providing word predictions in partitions of the touchscreen keyboard in proximate association with candidate letters

TL;DR: In this paper, a method including receiving an input of a character from a virtual keyboard displayed on a display, generating a set of predicted input characters based on the input character, and displaying the generated set of characters in partitions of the virtual keyboard in proximate association with candidate letters is disclosed.

A Comparative Study on Feature Selection in Text Categorization

TL;DR: This paper finds strong correlations between the DF IG and CHI values of a term and suggests that DF thresholding the simplest method with the lowest cost in computation can be reliably used instead of IG or CHI when the computation of these measures are too expensive.

Reduced keyboard disambiguating system

TL;DR: In this paper, a reduced keyboard disambiguating system was proposed for ambiguous keystroke sequences, in which a keystroke sequence could match a number of words with the same number of letters.

Advanced Interaction in Context

TL;DR: A layered real-time architecture for this kind of context-aware adaptation based on redundant collections of low-level sensors, which has shown that it is feasible to recognize contexts using sensors and that context information can be used to create new interaction metaphors.
