Network-Based Context-Aware Input Method Editor

摘要

In this paper, we propose a context-aware Input Method Editor (IME) as a ubiquitous service for improving the input of text on mobile devices. In our proposed IME, it estimates the context of users according to position information from GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor or a presence information from the Internet. Simultaneously, it generates a personal context-aware dictionary dynamically from the keywords gotten via some APIs in the Internet. Currently, the information of user's context is also provided by NGN. In this paper, we explain the overview of our proposal and prototype implementation in Japanese.
