Abstract
Media, method and device for providing multiple, context-aware suggestion contexts to a user entering text data. To see the multiple suggestion contexts, the user can use a long-press gesture (or other gesture) to bring up a context-aware suggestion menu. This menu can include various suggestion contexts appropriate to the current text-entry field together with an indication of an additional gesture for each suggestion context. Each of these suggestion contexts can draw autocompletions (or other ways of inputting text) from a different source of completions, such as previous entries, common entries by other users, stored values, automatically determined values, and other sources.
Claims20
One or more computer-readable media storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, perform a method of providing context-aware field value suggestions, comprising the steps of:
- displaying, to a user, a text-entry field having a focused mode and a defocused mode;
- receiving, from the user, a short-press input and, in response, transitioning from the defocused mode to the focused mode;
- receiving, from the user, a long-press input and, in response, displaying a graphical depiction of a plurality of gestures and a corresponding plurality of input modalities for the text-entry field;
- receiving, from the user, a gesture of the plurality of gestures;
- and
- populating the text-entry field using an input modality corresponding to the received gesture.
A method of providing context-aware text value suggestions, comprising the steps of:
- displaying an item of data to a user;
- receiving, from the user, a long-press selection of the item of data;
- displaying, to the user, a graphical depiction of a plurality of gestures and a corresponding plurality of input modalities;
- receiving, from the user, a gesture of the plurality of gestures;
- and
- using an input modality corresponding to the received gesture to provide the user with a plurality of suggestions for the item of data;
- and
- receiving, from the user, a selection of a suggestion of the plurality of suggestions.
A portable device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a display;
- a touch screen;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions that, when executed, perform a method of context-aware field value suggestions, comprising the steps of:
- displaying, on the display, a text-entry field;
- receiving, from the user and via the touch screen, a long-press selection of the text-entry field;
- displaying, on the display, a graphical depiction indicating a plurality of gestures and a corresponding plurality of input modalities;
- receiving, from the user and via the touch screen, a gesture of the plurality of gestures;
- and
- populating the text-entry field using an input modality corresponding to the received gesture.
