Publication number: 20170024126Abstract: Text input is corrected on a touch-sensitive display by presenting a list of candidate words in the interface which can be selected by touch input. The candidate list can include candidate words having two or more character types (e.g., Roman, kana, kanji). In one aspect, the candidate list can be scrolled using a finger gesture. When a user's finger traverses a candidate word and the touch is released, the candidate word is inserted into a document being edited. In another aspect, characters can be erased by touching a key (e.g., a backspace or delete key) and making a sliding, swiping, or other finger gesture. A number of characters proportional to a distance (e.g., a linear distance) of the finger gesture across the display are erased. If there are characters in a text input area, those characters are erased first, followed by characters in the document being edited.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Inventors: Deborah Eileen GOLDSMITH, Takumi TAKANO, Toshiyuki MASUI, Leland Douglas COLLINS, JR., Yasuo KIDA, Kenneth KOCIENDA

Patent number: 8949743Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and apparatus, including computer program products, for inputting text. A user interface element is presented on a touch-sensitive display of a device. The user interface element is associated with a plurality of characters, at least a subset of which is associated with respective gestures. A user input performing a gesture with respect to the user interface element is received. The character from the subset that is associated with the gesture performed with respect to the user interface element is inputted.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2008Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yasuo Kida, Deborah Eileen Goldsmith, Elizabeth Caroline Furches, Leland Douglas Collins, Jr., Ken Kocienda, Bas Ording, Toshiyuki Masui, Yosuke Kurita, Shin Nishibori, Takumi Takano, Hongwei Guo, Maria Celia Vigil

Publication number: 20090225034Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for inputting text. A virtual keyboard is presented in a first region on a touch sensitive display of a device, where the keyboard includes a key for each of a plurality of Japanese kana symbols. An input selecting one or more of the kana keys is received. The kana symbols corresponding to the selected keys are presented in a second region on the touch sensitive display.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2008Publication date: September 10, 2009Inventors: Yasuo Kida, Takumi Takano, Shin Nishibori

Patent number: 7548863Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that converts input data, such as speech or phonetic characters, to text by finding documents that are similar to the input data and using the similar documents to create a customized dictionary including a weighted list of words found in the similar documents. The words that are weighted higher may have a higher probability of being used in the input data, so words in the converted text are chosen based on the weighted list. A vector space model may be used to search for the similar documents.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2002Date of Patent: June 16, 2009Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yasuo Kida, Michi Iwasaki, Keisuke Hara, Takumi Takano
