Abstract: An operating sequence for a handheld computing device manages the device to automatically detect cues describing the device's environmental and user actions performed with the device, learn which cues and cue combinations are relevant to predict user actions, and then in response to occurrence of the relevant cues, predictively implementing the appropriate user action or configuring the device in anticipation of user action.

Abstract: There is disclosed an enhanced text entry system which uses word-level analysis to automatically correct inaccuracies in user keystroke entries on reduced keyboards such as those implemented on a touch-sensitive panel or display screen, or on mechanical keyboard systems. A method and system are defined which determine one or more alternate textual interpretations of each sequence of inputs detected within a designated auto-correcting keyboard region.

Abstract: A system and method for entering text from a user includes a programmed processor that receives inputs from the user and disambiguates the inputs to present word choices corresponding to the text. In one embodiment, inputs are received in two or more modalities and are analyzed to present the word choices. In another embodiment, a keyboard is divided into zones each of which represents two more input characters. A sequence of zones selected by the user is analyzed to present word choices corresponding to the zone selected.

Abstract: A facilitation and enhancement of interactions between a caller and a called party, such as a call center. The enhancement of interactions between a mobile device caller and a call center is by the communication of the mobile device caller's location and/or preferences to the call center. The communication can be in the form of a data structure stored on a computer-readable storage device, which may be transmitted from the mobile device caller to a call center controller. The data structure contains a caller identification entry, which allows the call center to match the data structure with a caller. In addition, a caller context entry associates additional data to the caller identification entry. The additional data includes at least one preference and/or location of the caller. Processor-based methods are disclosed to create, transmit, and/or utilize the data structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for explicit filtering in ambiguous text entry. The invention provides embodiments including various explicit text entry methodologies, such as 2-key and long pressing. The invention also provides means for matching words in a database using build around methodology, stem locking methodology, word completion methodology, and n-gram searches.

Abstract: Technology is described to monitor incoming channels or messages for a security confirmation code, capture a received confirmation code, recognize a designated field or other destination opportunity to enter a security confirmation code, and automatically inject the captured code to the recognized destination. Various other aspects of the technology are described herein.

Abstract: A system and method for entering USSD codes through an ambiguous text entry interface. The disclosed system may be embedded in mobile devices or other devices having reduced (e.g., 12 key) keypads for text entry. The system receives text entry from users, disambiguates the text entry, and presents the user with descriptors (i.e., representative words, icons, or other visual indicators) that are associated with the entered text and correlated with USSD codes. In response to a user selecting a descriptor, the system retrieves the corresponding USSD code and causes the device to transmit a message to the USSD service. The USSD service receives the message and invokes appropriate processes to respond to the message. In some embodiments, the system presents the list of descriptors representing USSD codes to the user in an order that is related to the probability that the user will select the descriptor.

Abstract: In one general aspect, information is presented to a user by receiving a first input from a user and structuring the first input as a first stem. A separator is received designating subsequently-received input as a second input. The second input is received and the second input is structured as a second stem. The first stem and the second stem are related to a library of candidates. One or more results are rendered in response to relating the first stem and the second stem to the library of candidates and the user is enabled to select from among the one or more results.

Abstract: A data communication system routes calls from a mobile communication device associated with a calling party to a mobile communication device associated with a called party. If calls are not answered by the called party, a call is routed to a voicemail server. A data channel is opened between the mobile communication device associated with the calling party and the voicemail server over which higher fidelity audio signals are transmitted. The transmitted audio is supplied to the voicemail server for conversion from an audio to a text format. In accordance with another aspect, a data channel is opened with a call placed by the calling party. The data channel is used to append information that is sent with a call to give the called party information regarding the call or the caller without having to answer the call.

Abstract: A processor-based method for composing an electronic service solicitation using mobile device call logs. The service, when delivered to a mobile device, can be a promotion of a third-party mobile device application, the presentment of a coupon, or the administration of a caller experience survey. The service is delivered in connection with the user making a call to a particular number on the mobile device. The method for composing the solicitation includes selecting a business number, selecting a group of wireless subscribers, sending an information request to the mobile devices of the selected wireless subscribers, receiving affirmative responses from the selected wireless subscribers who recently called the selected business number, counting the affirmative responses, and using the count for composing the solicitation.
