Abstract: A system for inputting and processing handwritten, multi-character text may comprise a handwriting recognition subsystem, a word completion subsystem, and an audio feedback system. The handwriting recognition system may be configured to capture a series of handwritten characters formed by a user and to convert the handwritten characters into a set of candidate partial text strings. The word completion subsystem may be configured to identify if a candidate partial text string constitutes a word segment and if so, generate one or both of (i) at least one clarifying word and (ii) at least one clarifying phrase that includes the clarifying word. The word segment may be an arbitrary string and not correspond to a valid complete word in a language associated with the system. The audio feedback subsystem may be configured to produce an audio representation of the word segment(s), the clarifying word(s), and the clarifying phrase(s).

Abstract: A system and method for receiving character input from a user includes a programmed processor that receives inputs from the user and disambiguates the inputs to present character sequence choices corresponding to the input characters. In one embodiment, a first character input is received and a corresponding first recognized character is stored in a temporary storage buffer and displayed to the user for editing. After a predetermined number of subsequent input characters and/or predetermined amount of time without being edited, the system determines that the first recognized character is the intended character input by the user and removes the first recognized character from the buffer, thereby inhibiting future editing.

Abstract: The invention provides an increase in the radio coverage area (10) of a base transceiver station (100) having access to multiple transceivers (102, 104, 106, 108) by dedicating at least one of the transceivers (102) for BCCH data. This BCCH transceiver (102) is connected to an antenna arrangement (120) 5 comprising at least two antenna elements (121, 123; 125, 127). Increased BCCH radio coverage (30) is achieved by providing antenna hopping among the at least two antenna elements (121, 123; 125, 127) for the BCCH. Correspondingly, increased TCH coverage (20) is achieved by providing frequency hopping among at least two carrier frequencies for the TCH. The 10 coverage (10) of the base transceiver station (100) is defined as the intersection of the BCCH radio coverage (30) and the TCH coverage (20).
