US 11,900,057 B2 · Correcting input based on user context

Abstract

In some implementations, a computing device can generate user input correction suggestions based on the user's context. For example, the user's context can include content that the user has open or has recently opened on the computing device or another computing device. For example, when the user opens an item of content, the computing device can generate a context dictionary that includes words, phrases, etc., that describe the opened content. When the user provides input (e.g., text, speech, etc.) the computing device can use the context dictionary to generate input correction suggestions. The computing device can synchronize the context dictionary with other computing devices that the user may be using so that the user's context on one device can be used by another device to generate input correction suggestions.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

synchronizing a context entry generated at a first computing device to a second computing device different than the first computing device, wherein the context entry is generated based on a first user input from the first computing device that selects a content item;
receiving, by the second computing device, a second user input specifying a word;
generating, by the second computing device, a correction suggestion for the specified word based on a context entry in a context dictionary;
and
causing, by the second computing device, the correction suggestion to be presented on a display of the second computing device.

2 more elements

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising computer-readable instructions, that when executed by one or more processors of one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to:

receive, a first user input, via a first computing device, selecting a content item;
generate, one or more context entries in a context dictionary of the first computing device based on the selected content item;
cause synchronization of the context dictionary of the first computing device to a context dictionary of a separate computing device, by providing, to the separate computing device, the context dictionary, causing the separate computing device to generate a correction suggestion for a specified word provided via an input at the separate computing device, based on a context entry indicating a context of the selected content item in the context dictionary of the separate computing device and present the correction suggestion.

synchronize a context entry generated at a first computing device to a second computing device different than the first computing device, wherein the context entry is generated based on a first user input from the first computing device that selects a content item;
receive, by the second computing device, a second user input specifying a word;
generate, by the second computing device, a correction suggestion for the specified word based on a context entry in a context dictionary;
and
cause, by the second computing device, the correction suggestion to be presented on a display of the second computing device, wherein the correction suggestion comprises an alternative word with a different context than the specified word that is based upon a context of the content item selected via the first user input, as indicated by the context entry.
