Patent number: 10809813Abstract: In a system, a server controller is configured to receive at least part of at least one personal dictionary, and is further configured to generate an adapted dictionary using words of the at least part of at least one personal dictionary. The server controller is also configured to transmit at least part of the adapted dictionary to the apparatus configured to use the adapted dictionary during predictive text entry. The apparatus includes an apparatus controller that is configured to receive at least part of an adapted dictionary from the server. The apparatus controller is also configured to utilize at least part of an adapted dictionary when predictive text entry is performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2008Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: John Rieman, Minna Hekanaho, Minna Koutonen, Tero Rantonen, John Hard

Patent number: 8411958Abstract: A method and device is provided for recognizing characters in a handwritten input representing an input character string. A character sub-string preceding an unrecognized character in the input character string is determined. Handwriting recognition is used to provide one or more candidate characters for the unrecognized character. One of the one or more candidate characters is then selected. The candidate character selected, is the one which is most likely to be a correct recognition of the unrecognized character based on the determined character sub-string.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2004Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventor: John Rieman
