  • Intelligent virtual keyboards
    Patent number: 10409488
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for intent-based, dynamic generation and display of task icons within virtual keyboards are provided herein. A system can include a processor, an intent classifier, and a user interface generator. The intent classifier can be configured to determine user intent candidates based on contextual information. A user interface generator can be configured to generate the virtual keyboard for display and, upon receiving an indication of a user intent determined based on the user intent candidates, generate a task icon within the virtual keyboard. The task icon represents functionality associated with the determined user intent. Interaction with the task icon in the virtual keyboard can launch functionality associated with the determined intent. The user interface generator can also be configured to present a search interface upon receiving an indication of a user interaction with the virtual keyboard.
