TLDR
In this article, a QWERTY-based cluster keyboard is described, which consists of fourteen alphabet keys arranged such that all the letters in the alphabet are distributed in three rows of keys.Abstract:
A QWERTY-based cluster keyboard is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the keyboard comprises fourteen alphabet keys arranged such that all the letters in the alphabet are distributed in three rows of keys and in the standard QWERTY positions. Stochastic language models are used to reduce the error rate for typing on the keyboards. The language models consist of probability estimates of occurrences of n-grams (sequences of n consecutive words), wherein n is preferably 1, 2 or 3. A delay parameter d, which is related to the period of time the system displays the predicted intended word upon entry of a word boundary, is preferably zero to immediately display the primary word choice at a word boundary and provide the user the option to select the secondary candidate if necessary. Two disambiguation keys enable the user to identify which letter is intended as a secondary option to the language model predictions.read more

Patent
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.
Patent
Keyboard system with automatic correction
TL;DR: In this article, an enhanced text entry system using word-level analysis to automatically correct inaccuracies in user keystroke entries on reduced keyboards was proposed, where the actual contact locations for the keystrokes may occur outside the boundaries of the specific keyboard key regions, and 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.

Sentence reconstruction using word ambiguity resolution
Steven Skiena,Harald Rau +1 more
TL;DR: This paper evaluated syntactic type probabilities of word sequencing through rules based on transitional probability of use of two particular words in sequence in English usage and probability of relative positioning of words of particular word categories (e.g., nouns and adjectives) in a sentence structure.
