Abstract

In one aspect of the present invention a user can rapidly enter and search for data, such as text, using a data entry system by entering one or more characters on a digital keyboard with a pointing device. With the digital keyboard the user can create words, phrases and other character sequences.
As the user enters a character sequence, a mechanism for keyboard character prediction visually informs the user of which set of characters on the digital keyboard are most likely to have the character that the user wishes to next enter as part of the text. In another aspect of the present invention, as the user forms a character sequence (partial text entry), the character sequence is used to search a dictionary for a set of completion candidates that begin with the character sequence. The data entry system retrieves completion candidates from the dictionary by determining which completion candidates in the dictionary are more likely to be the ones that the user is attempting to type. A rapid navigation system provides for enhanced navigation and retrieval of completion candidates from the dictionary.

Claims (15)

1. A computer-implemented method of rapidly generating text, the method comprising:
(a) displaying a digital keyboard on a user interface;
(b) receiving a set of one or more characters making up a partial text entry selected via the user interface with a pointing device;
(c) predicting a set of possible characters that a user is likely to next select from based on the set of one or more characters making up the partial text entry; and (d) displaying characters within the digital keyboard corresponding to the set of possible characters in a distinctive manner relative to other characters within the digital keyboard.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein characters within the digital keyboard corresponding to the set of possible characters are highlighted on the digital keyboard.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein displaying the characters on the digital keyboard corresponding to the set of possible characters in a distinctive manner further comprises displaying the characters on the digital keyboard corresponding to the set of possible characters using at least two modes of display, wherein a first mode of display is used to indicate that there are still many possible completion candidates within a dictionary that begin with the partial text entry if one of the characters displayed in the first mode of display is selected and added to the partial text entry; and a second mode of display is used to indicate that there are only a few completion candidates available within the dictionary that begin with the partial text entry if the character on the digital keyboard corresponding to one of the set of possible characters is selected and added to the partial text entry.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
(a) obtaining a set of completion candidates based on user character selection; and (b) displaying the set of completion candidates on the user interface for selection.
5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:
(a) monitoring the user interface for user input; and (b) if the user input corresponds to selection of a completion candidate from the set of completion candidates for insertion into a document, displaying the selected completion candidate within the document.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
(a) retrieving thematic information for each character in the set of possible characters; and (b) displaying characters on the digital keyboard corresponding to the set of possible characters in at least one distinctive manner based on the thematic information.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
(a) retrieving thematic information for each character in the set of possible characters; and (b) displaying a character corresponding to the set of possible characters in a first distinctive manner on the digital keyboard if the thematic information associated with that character is of a first type of information;
(c) displaying a character corresponding to the set of possible characters in a second distinctive manner on the digital keyboard if the thematic information associated with that character is of a second type of information; and (d) displaying a character corresponding to the set of possible characters in a third distinctive manner on the digital keyboard if the thematic information associated with that character is of a third type of information.
8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
(a) determining a number of completion candidates available for each combination of the partial text entry and a character from the set of possible characters;
(b) displaying a first character from the set of possible characters in a first distinctive manner on the digital keyboard if the number of completion candidates associated with that first character is equal to or greater than a threshold number; and (c) displaying a second character from the set of possible characters in a second distinctive manner on the digital keyboard if the number of completion candidates associated with that second character is less than a threshold number.
9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
(a) determining a number of completion candidates available for each combination of the partial text entry and a character from the set of possible characters; and (b) displaying those of the set of possible characters that have a number of completion candidates less than or equal to a threshold number differently from the remainder of the set of possible completion candidates displayed within the digital keyboard.
10. A computer-readable medium having stored instructions for use in the execution of the method of any one of Claims 1 to 9.
11. A system for computer-assisted data entry, comprising:

(a) an input interface for receiving user input signals based on actions with a pointing device;
(b) a processing unit; and (c) a computer-readable medium containing computer-readable instructions for directing the processing unit to assist with data entry based on user input received via the input interface with the pointing device, by executing the method of any one of Claims 1 to 9.
12. A computer-implemented system for rapidly generating text, comprising:
(a) means for displaying a digital keyboard on a user interface;
(b) means for receiving a set of one or more characters making up a partial text entry selected via the user interface with a pointing device;
(c) means for predicting a set of possible characters that a user is likely to next select from based on the set of one or more characters making up the partial text entry; and (d) means for displaying characters within the digital keyboard corresponding to the set of possible characters in a distinctive manner relative to other characters within the digital keyboard.
13. A computer-implemented method of rapidly navigating amongst a plurality of candidates for user selection, the method comprising:
(a) monitoring a user interface for user input from a pointing device;
(b) displaying a first set of completion candidates when the user input corresponds to the pointing device being located in a first region of the user interface; and (c) displaying a second set of completion candidates representing completion candidates having a lower preference/weight in a dictionary than the first set of completion candidates if a user input signal is received corresponding to the pointing device being located on a second region of the user interface.
14. A computer-readable medium having stored instructions for use in the execution of the method of Claim 13.
15. A computer-implemented system for rapidly navigating amongst a plurality of candidates, comprising:

a navigational object for navigating amongst sets of completion candidates wherein a first set of completion candidates comprises completion candidates representing completion candidates having the highest preference values within a dictionary, all of which begin with a partial text entry entered by a user; and wherein a second set of completion candidates comprises a next most common set of completion candidates beginning with the partial text entry wherein said second set of completion candidates represent completion candidates having preference values less than the preference values of the first set of completion candidates.
