Electronic text input involving word completion functionality for predicting word candidates for partial word inputs
First Claim
1. A text input method for an electronic apparatus having a user interface with text input means and a display screen, wherein word completion functionality is provided for predicting word candidates for partial word inputs made by said user employing said text input means, the method involving:
- receiving a partial word input from said user;
deriving a set of word completion candidates using said word completion functionality, each of the word completion candidates in said set having a prefix and a suffix, wherein the prefix corresponds to said partial word input; and
presenting the suffices for at least a sub set of the word completion candidates in a predetermined area on said display screen, wherein each of the presented suffices is made selectable for said user.

Abstract
A text input method is described for an electronic apparatus having a user interface with text input means and a display screen. Word completion functionality is provided for predicting word candidates for partial word inputs made by the user with the text input means. The method involves receiving a partial word input from the user and deriving a set of word completion candidates using the word completion functionality. Each of the word completion candidates in the set has a prefix and a suffix, wherein the prefix corresponds to the partial word input. The method also involves presenting the suffices for at least a sub set of the word completion candidates in a predetermined area on the display screen, wherein each of the presented suffices is made selectable for the user.

19. An electronic apparatus having a user interface with text input means and a display screen, and a controller coupled to said display screen, the user interface including word completion functionality for predicting word candidates for partial word inputs made by said user employing said text input means, the controller being adapted for performing the steps of:
-
receiving a partial word input from said user;
deriving a set of word completion candidates using said word completion functionality, each of the word completion candidates in said set having a prefix and a suffix, wherein the prefix corresponds to said partial word input; and
presenting the suffices for at least a sub set of the word completion candidates in a predetermined area on said display screen, wherein each of the presented suffices is made selectable for said user. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
