US 2016/0078013 A1 · FAULT-TOLERANT INPUT METHOD EDITOR

Abstract

A computer-implemented method can include receiving, at a computing device including one or more processors, an input from a user. The input can include one or more characters in a first writing system. The method can further include segmenting the input to obtain one or more segmentations, where each segmentation can include at least one segment including at least one character in the first writing system. A fuzzy model can be applied to the segmentations to obtain potential formal representations for the segmentations. Each of the potential formal representations can be in the first writing system and represent text in a second writing system. A plurality of character candidates can be determined based on the potential formal representations. Each of the plurality of character candidates can be a possible appropriate representation of the user input in the second writing system.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, at a computing device including one or more processors, an input from a user, the input comprising one or more characters in a first writing system;
segmenting, at the computing device, the input to obtain one or more segmentations, each segmentation comprising at least one segment, wherein each segment includes at least one character in the first writing system;
applying, at the computing device, a fuzzy model to the one or more segmentations to obtain at least one potential formal representation for each of the segmentations, each potential formal representation being in the first writing system and representing text in a second writing system;
determining, at the computing device, a plurality of character candidates based on the potential formal representations, each of the plurality of character candidates being in the second writing system and being a possible appropriate representation of the user input in the second writing system;
and
outputting, at the computing device, the plurality of character candidates.

3 more elements

A computing device, comprising:

a display;
one or more processors coupled to the display;
and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer program code, the one or more processors configured to execute the executable computer program code to perform operations including:
receiving an input from a user, the input comprising one or more characters in a first writing system;
segmenting the input to obtain one or more segmentations, each segmentation comprising at least one segment, wherein each segment includes at least one character in the first writing system;
applying a fuzzy model to the one or more segmentations to obtain at least one potential formal representation for each of the segmentations, each potential formal representation being in the first writing system and representing text in a second writing system;
determining a plurality of character candidates based on the potential formal representations, each of the plurality of character candidates being in the second writing system and being a possible appropriate representation of the user input in the second writing system;
and
outputting the plurality of character candidates.
