METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WORD PREDICTION SELECTION
First Claim
1. A method for operating an electronic device having a display and a keyboard for receiving inputs, comprising:
- receiving a first input of one or more characters;
generating a set of word prediction candidates associated with the input;
displaying the set of word prediction candidates on the display;
receiving a second input of a single character;
determining a particular word prediction candidate from among the generated set of word prediction candidates based on the second input; and
presenting the particular word prediction candidate on the display for selection.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for improving word prediction candidate selection in an electronic device. Input of one or more characters is received via a capacitive physical keyboard. A word prediction process generates a set of word prediction candidates, determines a unique character in each word prediction candidate, and displays the word prediction candidates along with visual indicia to indicate the unique character. A second input is then received comprising a tap input of a single character on the keyboard. The electronic device determines whether the second input corresponds to a unique character associated with any of the word prediction candidates, and if so, displays the selected word in an input field on the display.
