  • Patent number: 8484582
    Abstract: A method, device, and computer program product for locating a desired entry in a list containing multiple list entries for use with a limited text display is described. A list of entries is partitioned into a number of sub-parts such that the desired entry is contained in one of the list sub-parts. At least one of the sub-parts is characterized within a limited text display to prompt a user for feedback regarding the location of the desired entry in the sub-parts. The user feedback is received from a view input element. In response to the user feedback, the sub-part containing the desired entry is selected. The partitioning, characterizing, receiving, and selecting steps are re-performed one or more times until a final sub-part is generated that contains a limited number of entries including the desired entry.

  • Publication number: 20060173680
    Abstract: A method of speech recognition processing is described based on spelling out the initial characters of a word or a sequence of words. Characters representative of an initial portion of an intended user input are collected from a user. In response to a first user action, (e.g., a short pause) at least one name matching hypothesis is provided to the user which is predicted to correspond to the intended user input. Then, in response to a second user action, one name matching hypothesis is selected as representing the intended user input.
