Abstract
A method and system for checking the validity of a sequence of input characters according to the syntactical rules of a selected language is provided. If an input character may not begin a valid sequence of characters, or if the input character may not be appended to a previously input sequence of characters according to the rules of the selected language, the newly input character may be prohibited from being displayed singularly or appended to the previous sequence and displayed on the user'"'"'s computer. Previously input character sequences may be edited by determining the sequence validity context of previously input sequences of characters.

19. A computer-readable medium on which is stored a computer program for checking sequences of characters against rules, wherein the rules define a plurality of valid input sequences of characters for use in creating complex characters, the computer program comprising instructions, which when executed by a computer, perform acts of:
-
receiving a first character;
receiving a second character; and
displaying on a display screen a complex character formed by combining at least the first character with the second character prior to receiving additional characters if a sequential order of reception of the first character relative to reception of the second character is consistent with at least one of the valid input sequences of characters. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A computer-readable medium on which is stored a computer program for checking sequences of characters against rules, wherein the rules define a plurality of valid input sequences of characters for use in creating complex characters, the computer program comprising instructions, which when executed by a computer, perform acts of:
-
receiving a first character;
receiving a second character;
constructing a complex character in response to reception of the first character and the second character if a sequential order of reception of the first character relative to reception of the second character is consistent with at least one of the valid input sequences of characters; and
displaying on a display screen the complex character in a first display state as constructed in response to reception of the second character and prior to receiving additional characters. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A method for checking sequences of characters against rules, wherein the rules define a plurality of valid input sequences of characters for use in creating complex characters, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first character;
receiving a second character; and
displaying on a display screen a complex character formed by combining at least the first character with the second character prior to receiving additional characters if a sequential order of reception of the first character relative to reception of the second character is consistent with at least one of the valid input sequences of characters. - View Dependent Claims (38)
