Abstract
A first set of characters may be received in response to a user input for text prediction. An estimate may be generated indicating what second set of characters will be inputted. The generating an estimate may be based on at least receiving data from a second user device. At least some of the data may not be located within the second user device's text dictionary. At least some of the data may be provided to the first user device.
Claims5
A system comprising:
- a computing device having a processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to perform a method, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first set of data and metadata from a first user device;
- obtaining a second set of data and metadata from a second user device;
- receiving, from the second user device, a request to retrieve the first set of data and metadata of the first user device for text prediction;
- comparing the first set of data and metadata of the first user device with the second set of data and metadata of the second user device;
- in response to the comparing, adjusting at least some of the first set of data or metadata of the first user device;
- receiving a plurality of words displayed on the first user device;
- receiving eye tracking data corresponding to what particular words of the plurality of words a user was looking at on the first user device;
- pruning a set of words of the plurality of words that the user was not looking at;
- transmitting, to the second user device, the adjusted first set of data or metadata of the first user device, the adjusted first set of data or metadata for use in the text prediction within the second user device;
- and
- wherein in response to the receiving of the request, the particular words that the user was looking at are transmitted to the second user device and the set of words that the user was not looking at are not transmitted, and wherein the adjusting includes the pruning.
