Abstract: A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a service type of a first application for interacting with a first pairing device; determining a second application for interacting with a second pairing device in which the second application is also of the service type; selecting the second application with the second application meeting or exceeding a selection condition, otherwise the first application is selected; and generating an execution result for executing the second application for displaying on the first pairing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to coordinating travel plans in a networked environmental. More particularly, the disclosure relates to providing a dashboard of aggregated travel information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus (100) are provided for sorting character strings having complex characters, like accented characters for example. Complex characters having a base character and a linguistic modifier are stored (201) in decomposed form, with the base character being stored as a base data element (205) and the modifier being stored as a modifier data element (206). Elements are selected from two or more character strings and are compared (202) by referencing a look-up table (204) listing the priorities of the various elements. The character strings are then sorted (203) according to these priorities. When implemented in a computational device (101) having modifier keys (106) and character keys (105), a keypad activity detection module (107) detects actuation of keys and stores the base data elements and modifier data elements. A sort module (101) then sorts the corresponding character strings by comparing elements in an atomic, piecewise fashion by referencing the look-up table (204).

Abstract: A method of inputting text in an electronic device (201) including a display (203) and an input user interface (202) having a plurality of keys (210) arranged in a predetermined pattern includes a plurality of steps. In a first step, a list of potential characters is compiled and includes at least one subset less than or equal in number to the number of keys in the keypad matrix (207) on the input user interface (202). The first subset from the list of potential characters is displayed in an arrangement corresponding to the position of the keys (207). The desired character selection is received by sensing actuation of a key on the input user interface (202) corresponding to the position of a character on the display (203).

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and circuit for inputting phrases to a wireless mobile device and retrieving the saved phrases. For retrieval of the phrase, the user will enter a numeric sequence which represents the first letter or symbol of the words of a phrase. The method includes inputting to the wireless communication device a phrase having a plurality of words, each word having a starting letter or symbol. The wireless communication device can process the phrase to correlate one key of the keyboard to the starting letter or symbol of each of the plurality of words of the phrase to generate a numerical sequence representative of the phrase. The user then uses the keypad to input into the wireless communication device the numerical sequence to generate the phrase.

Abstract: A cursor is moved through regions of text 300 having differing directions to a location visually adjacent to a previous cursor location. The cursor is moved in the direction of requested cursor movement even when moving from text having a first direction to text having a second direction. A comparison of direction for current and proposed cursor locations is made 810 in both a method and apparatus for so moving the cursor. The direction of a character to be inserted is also examined 816 in determining the next location of the cursor.

Abstract: A method and device for generating meaningful compound words is provided. A user interface (120, 212) is configured to receive data input corresponding to one or more compound words. A processor (206) is configured to identify word combinations of shorter words that may be combined to form a portion or all of the one or more compound words. A display (118, 208) is configured to show the word combinations in a priority based on one or more criteria, such as distinguishing word combinations having different quantities of shorter words.
