Text input method using continuous trace across two or more clusters of candidate words to select two or more words to form a sequence, wherein the candidate words are arranged based on selection probabilities
Text input method using continuous trace across two or more clusters of candidate words to select two or more words to form a sequence, wherein the candidate words are arranged based on selection probabilities
The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for inputting text into an electronic device (10). The method includes selecting a first set of candidate words stored in a database. At least one of the first set of candidate words is then displayed on a screen (20) for selection by a user. The user generates a continuous input pattern (420; 540) and the method identifies one or more candidate words disposed along or proximal to the continuous input pattern (420; 540). The one or more identified candidate words are then input into a text entry field (430). The method includes refreshing the displayed candidate words when the continuous input pattern (420; 540) traces a predefined refresh gesture or enters/exits a predefined region (545). The present invention also relates to a computing device programmed to perform the method described herein.
