Patent number: 8818794Abstract: Environmental factors may be used in a predictive text system provided in a device. The device may receive one or more characters entered by a user and determine, based on the one or more characters, words that are predicted to be words being entered by the user of the device, where the words are determined using grammar-based predictive techniques. The device may determine confidence scores, corresponding to the words. The device may refine the scores based on environmental data that includes data that describes an environment associated with the user of the device. The device may select, based on the refined plurality of scores, a subset of the plurality of words and output the subset of the plurality of words.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2012Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Donald G.
