Patent number: 9946360Abstract: A handheld electronic device enabled with disambiguation software. The device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided. Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of a special <NEXT> key of the keypad that enables a user to progressively select variants generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2014Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Vadim Fux, Michael G.

Patent number: 9588596Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to disambiguate an input into a handheld electronic device. In some aspect, one computer-implemented method includes detecting an ambiguous input including one or more selections of one or more input keys; generating one or more prefix objects corresponding with the ambiguous input; generating an output set including at least some of the one or more prefix objects, wherein each of the at least some of the one or more prefix objects is associated with an identified corresponding word object; determining, using a processor, a quantity of prefix objects in the output set is fewer than a predetermined quantity, and, based on the determination, adding as an orphan prefix object to the output set an additional prefix object of the one or more of prefix objects for which a corresponding word object was not identified; and outputting the output set.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Vadim Fux, Michael G.

Patent number: 9189080Abstract: A handheld electronic device is provided with a function of text disambiguation. The device detects an ambiguous input including a number of selections of a number of keys, and displays a plurality of outputs for a duration of time based on an elapsed time between the number of selections of the number of keys. Each of the plurality of outputs corresponds to the ambiguous input. At least one of the plurality of outputs is an orphan prefix corresponding to the ambiguous input.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Vadim Fux, Michael Elizarov, Sergey V.

Patent number: 9015028Abstract: In view of the foregoing, an improved handheld electronic device includes a keypad in the form of a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. As a user enters keystrokes, the device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants from which a user can choose. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry, and when initiating an activity session on a word such as during editing, the display outputs variants of the entire word being edited, rather than providing as variants only those parts of a word that are being edited. The device also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2010Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Vadim Fux, Michael G.

Patent number: 8854301Abstract: A method of disambiguating an input into a handheld electronic device storing a plurality of objects includes a plurality of word objects is described. The method may include detecting an ambiguous input, outputting a number of first character permutations of the ambiguous input that each correspond to one of the word objects, and determining that the first character permutations are fewer in quantity than a predetermined number. The method may further include outputting a number of second character permutations of the ambiguous input that each correspond to an artificial variant.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2013Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Vadim Fux, Michael G.

Publication number: 20140006008Abstract: An improved handheld electronic device and associated method enable the phonetic inputting of text using a reduced keyboard and transformation algorithm. The handheld electronic device and method advantageously enable the inputting of languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and the like without limitation. The transformation algorithm subjects each of a number of linguistic element permutations to an algorithm such as the Maximum Matching Algorithm or other algorithm to generate a string of words and selects one string of words as a default textual output. The character interpretation and variations thereof are output in a lookup component along with a pin and variants thereof to enable the user to select among various character interpretations of an input as well as various alternative pins that correspond with the input.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Vadim Fux, Sergey V.
