Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving one or more characters of a character string as a user enters the character string into a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing device. The method also includes determining a degree of difficulty of the user entering the character string into the GUI of the computing device. The method further includes, if the degree of difficulty is at least approximately equal to or exceeds a pre-determined threshold, providing for display to the user an auto-suggestion for completing the character string for the user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- by a computing device, receiving one or more characters of a character string as a user enters the character string into a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device;
- by the computing device, determining a degree of difficulty of the user entering the character string into the GUI of the computing device;
- and
- by the computing device, if the degree of difficulty is at least approximately equal to or exceeds a pre-determined threshold, providing for display to the user an auto-suggestion for completing the character string for the user.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
- receive one or more characters of a character string as a user enters the character string into a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing device;
- determine a degree of difficulty of the user entering the character string into the GUI of the computing device;
- and
- if the degree of difficulty is at least approximately equal to or exceeds a pre-determined threshold, providing for display to the user an auto-suggestion for completing the character string for the user.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
- receive one or more characters of a character string as a user enters the character string into a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computing device;
- determine a degree of difficulty of the user entering the character string into the GUI of the computing device;
- and
- if the degree of difficulty is at least approximately equal to or exceeds a pre-determined threshold, providing for display to the user an auto-suggestion for completing the character string for the user.
