US 2015/0088985 A1 · CLIENT-SERVER INPUT METHOD EDITOR ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of receiving a key event at an input method editor (IME) server transmitted to the IME server from an IME client that is in communication with the IME server, wherein the IME server is a stateful server that stores both requests and responses of a communication session between the IME server and the IME client, and the IME client is a stateless IME client that issues a request to the IME server based on the key event, identifying, by the IME server, one or more logographic characters based on the key event, generating, by the IME server, rendering information corresponding to the one or more logographic characters, and transmitting the rendering information from the IME server to the IME client to display the one or more logographic characters.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving a key event at an input method editor (IME) server transmitted to the IME server from an IME client that is in communication with the IME server, wherein the IME server is a stateful server that stores both requests and responses of a communication session between the IME server and the IME client, and the IME client is a stateless IME client that issues a request to the IME server based on the key event;
identifying, by the IME server, one or more logographic characters based on the key event;
generating, by the IME server, rendering information corresponding to the one or more logographic characters;
and
transmitting the rendering information from the IME server to the IME client to display the one or more logographic characters.

2 more elements

A system, comprising:

a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon;
a device including one or more data processing apparatus that execute the instructions to cause the one or more data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
receiving a key event at an input method editor (IME) server transmitted to the IME server from an IME client that is in communication with the IME server, wherein the IME server is a stateful server that stores both requests and responses of a communication session between the IME server and the IME client, and the IME client is a stateless IME client that issues a request to the IME server based on the key event;
identifying, by the IME server, one or more logographic characters based on a key event;
generating, by the IME server, rendering information corresponding to the one or more logographic characters;
and
transmitting the rendering information from the IME server to the IME client to display the one or more logographic characters.
