Method and device for identifying and extending the input context of a user, to make contextualized suggestions regardless of the software application used

A device for acquiring a textual context of a user, wherein the device comprises:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the at least one processor configure the device to acquire the textual context by:
• obtaining at least one character originating from at least one input peripheral device of an electronic device;
• performing an optical character recognition over all or part of an image representative of a content displayed by at least one display peripheral device of said electronic device and making it possible to obtain a character sequence associated with said optical character recognition performed;
• searching for said at least one character in said character sequence;
• acquiring, from said character sequence, said textual context.

A system for acquiring a textual context of a user, wherein the system comprises:

• at least one input peripheral device to obtain at least one character;
• at least one display peripheral device connected to the at least one input peripheral device to display a content comprising said at least one character;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the at least one processor implement a method of acquiring a textual context of a user by:
• obtaining the at least one character originating from at least one input peripheral device;
• performing an optical character recognition over all or part of an image representative of the content displayed by the at least one display peripheral device and making it possible to obtain a character sequence associated with said optical character recognition performed;
• searching for said at least one character in said character sequence;
• and
• acquiring, from said character sequence, said textual context.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for execution of an acquisition method, when the program is run by a processor, wherein the acquisition method comprises:

• obtaining at least one character originating from at least one input peripheral device of an electronic device;
• optical character recognition applied to all or part of an image representative of a content displayed by at least one display peripheral device of said electronic device to obtain a character sequence;
• searching for said at least one in said character sequence
• and, in response to the search being positive,
• acquiring, from said character sequence, a textual context of a user.
