Patent number: 11106905Abstract: A system for inputting and processing handwritten, multi-character text may comprise a handwriting recognition subsystem, a word completion subsystem, and an audio feedback system. The handwriting recognition system may be configured to capture a series of handwritten characters formed by a user and to convert the handwritten characters into a set of candidate partial text strings. The word completion subsystem may be configured to identify if a candidate partial text string constitutes a word segment and if so, generate one or both of (i) at least one clarifying word and (ii) at least one clarifying phrase that includes the clarifying word. The word segment may be an arbitrary string and not correspond to a valid complete word in a language associated with the system. The audio feedback subsystem may be configured to produce an audio representation of the word segment(s), the clarifying word(s), and the clarifying phrase(s).Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Cerence Operating CompanyInventors: Jonas Morwing, Christer Friberg, Jakob Sternby, Jonas Andersson

Patent number: 9304681Abstract: Software, firmware, and systems are described for identifying characters in a handwritten input received from a user on an input device, irrespective of an angle that the input is received at. In one implementation, the system establishes an anchor point and distances from the anchor point to reference support lines. A set of candidate characters is identified based on received handwritten input. The system estimates support lines for each of the candidate characters. The system ranks the candidate characters based on a total deviation measurement from the expectation for each candidate, where the expectation in part is based on the established distance from the established anchor point to reference support lines, and identifies a best-ranked candidate based at least in part on a smallest total deviation measurement.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Jonas Andersson, Lars Jonas Morwing

Patent number: 9111139Abstract: A handwriting recognition apparatus facilitates user entry of strokes one on top of another. The apparatus, which includes a processor and a display integrated with a touch sensitive screen, receives a series of strokes via the screen. Each stroke is defined by contact, trace, and lift occurrences. Each stroke appears on the display until occurrence of a prescribed event, and then disappears. The apparatus accumulates strokes into a buffer and interprets all accumulated strokes collectively against a character database and optionally a linguistic database, to identify multiple candidate strings that could be represented by the accumulated strokes. The apparatus displays candidate strings for user selection after all strokes have faded, or after receiving a user submitted delimiter, or after a given delay has elapsed following user entry of the latest stroke. Alternatively, candidate strings are displayed after each stroke without waiting for timeout or explicit delimiter.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS INC.Inventors: Lars Jonas Morwing, Jonas Andersson

Patent number: 9026428Abstract: A system and method for receiving character input from a user includes a programmed processor that receives inputs from the user and disambiguates the inputs to present character sequence choices corresponding to the input characters. In one embodiment, a first character input is received and a corresponding first recognized character is stored in a temporary storage buffer and displayed to the user for editing. After a predetermined number of subsequent input characters and/or predetermined amount of time without being edited, the system determines that the first recognized character is the intended character input by the user and removes the first recognized character from the buffer, thereby inhibiting future editing.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Jakob Sternby, Lars Jonas Morwing, Jonas Andersson, Christer Friberg

Patent number: 7437001Abstract: A method for recognition of a handwritten pattern comprises the steps of forming (4) a representation of the handwritten pattern, forming (6) at least two subconfigurations by dividing the representation of the handwritten pattern, and processing the subconfigurations. The step of processing comprises the steps of comparing (8) each subconfiguration with reference configurations, selecting (10) at least one subconfiguration candidate for each subconfiguration among the reference configurations based on said step of comparing, and determining (12) at least one candidate pattern consisting of one selected subconfiguration candidate for each subconfiguration. The method further comprises the steps of comparing (14) the representation of the handwritten pattern to the candidate pattern, and computing (16) a cost function in order to find a closest matching candidate pattern.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2007Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: ZI Decuma ABInventors: Jonas Morwing, Gunnar Sparr
