TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a method and apparatus for determining at least one of a character and a destination therefor in accordance with a received signal representing at least 1 of a plurality of characters and one of the character languages.Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining at least one of a character and a destination therefor in accordance with a received signal representing at least one of a plurality of characters and at least one character corresponding to at least one of a plurality of languages. Likelihood values for at least one of plurality of characters and each of the languages are evaluated, and at least one of the plurality of characters and one of the character languages are selected in accordance with the evaluated likelihood values thereof.read more

Method and apparatus for recognizing language input mode and method and apparatus for automatically switching language input modes using the same
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus for automatically switching language input modes including a first unit to determine whether to turn on an automatic language input mode switching function; a second unit to bypass a current keystroke input via a predetermined input device when the control signal is an off signal; and a third unit to recognize the language inputmode of the scan code of the current key stroke by referring to language dictionaries and provide a current language input model, the recognized language input of the keystroke, keystroke deletion range information, and keystroke conversion range information to the second unit.

Method and device for input of text messages from a keypad
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of text entry into a device by activating keys of a keypad where a key represents various characters is presented. But the method is limited to the activation of a single keypad and the input is delivered to a processor corresponding to the keys activated.
Patent
Methods and apparatus for providing search results in response to an ambiguous search query
TL;DR: In this paper, a sequence of numbers received from a user of a standard telephone keypad is translated into a set of potentially corresponding alphanumeric sequences, provided as an input to a conventional search engine, using a boolean "OR" expression.
Patent
Nonstandard locality-based text entry
TL;DR: A computer-implemented method of providing text entry assistance data includes receiving at a system location information associated with a user, receiving at the system information indicative of predictive textual outcomes, generating dictionary data using the location information, and providing the dictionary data to a remote device as discussed by the authors.

An iterative technique for phrase query formation and an information retrieval system employing same
Jan O Pedersen,Per-Kristian Halvorsen,Douglass R. Cutting,John W. Tukey,Eric A. Bier,Daniel G. Bobrow +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an information retrieval system and method are provided in which an operator inputs one or more query words which are used to determine a search key for searching through a corpus of documents, and which returns any matches between the search key and the corpora of documents as a phrase containing the word data matching the query word(s), a non-stop (content) word next adjacent to the matching word data, and all intervening stop-words between the matching data and the next adjacent nonstop word.

Name pronunciation by synthesizer
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and method for correctly pronouncing proper names from text using a computer provides a dictionary which performs an initial search for the name, if the name is not in the dictionary, it is sent to a filter which either positively identifies a single language group or eliminates one or more language groups as the language group of origin for that word.
