Abstract
A device is provided with two complementary input systems. One of the two input systems is ambiguous in the senses that it associates a first given user input with more than one potential data. The device cannot recognize from this first input system which actual data is sought by the user. To resolve the plurality of potential data the user provides a second user input through the second input system. From the second user input, a processing unit is capable of identifying from the plurality of potential data, the one actually sought by the user.
Claims7
A device comprising:
- an ambiguous first data input system configured to associate a first user input with a plurality of potential data;
- a second data input system independent from the first data input system receiving a second user input;
- and,
- a processing unit coupled to the first and second input systems for selecting one of the plurality of potential data from the second user input.
A software application comprising instructions to perform the following steps:
- associating a first user input provided by a user through a first ambiguous input system with a plurality of potential data;
- receiving a second user input through a second data input system;
- processing the plurality of text data and the second user input to select one of the plurality of potential data from the second user input data.
