US 12,554,339 B2 · Adaptive chord typing system

Abstract

Examples provide an input device for an adaptive chord typing system. An input device includes a plurality of keys and a chord manager in firmware or software on the device. The chord manager analyzes input words and identifies frequently input candidate words. The chord manager automatically generates recommended chords that are shorter than the identified candidate words to serve as a shortcut during typing. The recommended chords are output to a user via a user interface communicatively coupled to the input device. If the user accepts a recommended chord, the chord is mapped to a corresponding frequently input word. When the user types a mapped chord using the keys on the input device, the input device generates keystroke data corresponding to the corresponding frequently input word(s), as if the user had actually input the word(s) rather than the chord to increase typing speed.

Dependent claims

A system for adaptive typing chords, the system comprising:

at least one processor;
a plurality of keys representing a plurality of characters;
and
at least one memory comprising computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions configured to cause the at least one processor to:
identify a word from a plurality of words input via the plurality of keys;
generate a recommended chord;
and
map the recommended chord to the identified word, wherein receipt of input first keystroke data corresponding to the mapped chord triggers transmission of second keystroke data associated with the identified word.
