摘要： The invention provides a stroke and phonetic text input entry system that has substantially the same definition of stroke match as that used in T9, where the input is a phrasal input rather than a character input. The invention solves the problem of Chinese phrasal stroke and phonetic text input by allowing users to enter an arbitrary number of strokes for each character in a phrase, where each character is separated by a delimiter. In this way, the invention provides a system that is easily learned and efficiently applied. Thus, the invention makes it possible for users to enter multiple characters while keeping their single character input habits. Each Chinese character has a standard stroke sequence in Guo Biao (GB), which is the standard for mainland China, or multiple sequences for BIG5 Chinese Character Encoding for Traditional (Complex) Characters, which is the de facto standard in Taiwan but not used in mainland China. With the invention, users do not have to enter the complete sequence for a single character, but instead can stop at any point and enter a delimiter which indicates the end of the previous character and the start of the next character. The whole stroke sequence entered by the user can then be split into a few groups that are separated by zero or more delimiters. Phrases can then be identified by user entry of groups of characters. The presently preferred phrase matching criteria are as follows: the first stroke group matches the leading stroke sequence of the first character of the phrase; the second stroke group matches the leading stroke sequence of the second character of the phrase, etc; the phrases that match the entered stroke sequence are presented to the user for selection. A user interface design for Chinese phrasal stroke text input is also provided.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供了一种笔触和语音文本输入输入系统，其具有与T9中使用的笔画匹配基本相同的定义，其中输入是短语输入而不是字符输入。 本发明通过允许用户为短语中的每个字符输入任意数量的笔画，其中每个字符由分隔符分隔，解决了中文短语和语音文本输入的问题。 以这种方式，本发明提供了一种易于学习和有效应用的系统。 因此，本发明使得用户可以在保持其单个字符输入习惯的同时输入多个字符。 每个汉字都有中国大陆标准的郭彪（GB）的标准笔画序列，或是传统（复杂）字符的BIG5汉字编码的多个序列，这是台湾事实上的标准，但不用于 中国大陆。 利用本发明，用户不必为单个字符输入完整的顺序，而是可以在任何点停止并输入指示前一个字符的结尾和下一个字符的开始的分隔符。 然后，用户输入的整个笔画顺序可以分为几个由零个或多个分隔符分隔的组。 然后可以通过用户输入字符组来识别短语。 目前优选的短语匹配标准如下：第一笔划组与短语的第一个字符的前导笔画序列匹配; 第二笔划组与短语的第二个字符等的前导笔画顺序相匹配; 将输入的笔画序列匹配的短语呈现给用户进行选择。 还提供了中文短语文本输入的用户界面设计。

摘要： The invention provides a process for selecting and ordering one or more sets of linguistic objects. The invention orders a current list of items for selection that comprises a first list of one or more items of a first language and a second list of one or more items of a second language, the current list of items being displayed in an order based on the first language having a priority over the second language. In response to a user selection of one item from the second list, the invention changes a priority for ordering a subsequent list of items to order the subsequent list of items based on the second language having a priority over the first language.

摘要： The invention concerns user entry of information into a system with an input device. A scheme is provided in which an entire word that a user wants to enter is predicted after the user enters a specific symbol, such as a space character. If the user presses an ambiguous key thereafter, rather than accept the prediction, the selection list is reordered. For example, a user enters the phrase “Lets run to school. Better yet, lets drive to “.””” After the user presses the space, after first entering the second occurrence of the word “to,” the system predicts that the user is going to enter the word “school” based on the context in which the user has entered that word in the past. Should the user enter an ambiguous key after the space, then a word list which contains the word “school” is reordered and other options are made available to the user. The invention can also make predictions on context, such as the person to whom the message is sent, the person writing the message, the day of the week, the time of the week, etc. Other embodiments of the invention contemplate anticipation of user actions, as well as words, such as a user action in connection with menu items, or a user action in connection with form filling.

摘要翻译： 本发明涉及用户通过输入设备将信息输入系统。 提供一种方案，其中在用户输入诸如空格字符的特定符号之后预测用户想要输入的整个单词。 如果用户之后按下模糊键，而不是接受预测，则选择列表被重新排序。 例如，用户输入短语“让我们跑到学校，更好，让我们开车去”。“”“用户按住空格后，首先进入第二次出现的单词”to“后，系统预测 用户将根据用户在过去输入该单词的上下文输入单词“school”，如果用户在空格之后输入模糊键，则重新排序包含单词“school”的单词列表 本发明还可以对上下文进行预测，诸如发送消息的人，撰写消息的人，星期几，星期几等。 本发明的其他实施例考虑了对用户动作的预期，以及诸如与菜单项相关的用户动作或与表单填充有关的用户动作的单词。

摘要： A hybrid approach to improve handwriting recognition and voice recognition in data process systems is disclosed. In one embodiment, a front end is used to recognize strokes, characters and/or phonemes. The front end returns candidates with relative or absolute probabilities of matching to the input. Based on linguistic characteristics of the language, e.g. alphabetical or ideographic language for the words being entered, e.g. frequency of words and phrases being used, likely part of speech of the word entered, the morphology of the language, or the context in which the word is entered), a back end combines the candidates determined by the front end from inputs for words to match with known words and the probabilities of the use of such words in the current context.

摘要： A selective input system and associated method is provided which tracks the motion of a pointing device over a region or area. The pointing device can be a touchpad, a mouse, a pen, or any device capable of providing two or three-dimensional location. The region or area is preferably augmented with a printed or actual keyboard/pad. Alternatively, a representation of the location of the pointing device over a virtual keyboard/pad can be dynamically shown on an associated display. The system identifies selections of items or characters by detecting parameters of motion of the pointing device, such as length of motion, a change in direction, a change in velocity, and or a lack of motion at locations that correspond to features on the keyboard/pad. The input system is preferably coupled to a text disambiguation system such as a T9® or Sloppytype™ system, to improve the accuracy and usability of the input system.

摘要： From a text entry tool, a digital data processing device receives inherently ambiguous user input. Independent of any other user input, the device interprets the received user input against a vocabulary to yield candidates such as words (of which the user input forms the entire word or part such as a root, stem, syllable, affix), or phrases having the user input as one word. The device displays the candidates and applies speech recognition to spoken user input. If the recognized speech comprises one of the candidates, that candidate is selected. If the recognized speech forms an extension of a candidate, the extended candidate is selected. If the recognized speech comprises other input, various other actions are taken.

摘要： 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 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 is presented in the display screen to communicate to the user the possible ambiguous characters associated with each key. A word choice list field may also be present to display at least one word construct matching the current key sequence.
