First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cursor-based character input interface for inputting a character selected by a cursor, the cursor-based character input interface comprising:
- a character prediction unit adapted to predict one or more next characters based on a current input character, wherein the input interface is adapted to present the one or more predicted next characters as a supplementary interface in proximity to the current input character, and wherein the one or more predicted next characters of the supplementary interface are selectable by the cursor.

Abstract
A cursor-based character input interface inputs a character selected by a cursor. A character prediction unit is adapted to predict one or more next characters based on a current input character, wherein the input interface is adapted to present the one or more predicted next characters as a supplementary interface in proximity to the current input character, and wherein the one or more predicted next characters of the supplementary interface are selectable by the cursor.

11. A computer program product for controlling a cursor-based character input interface for inputting a character selected by a cursor, wherein said computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, wherein said computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, and wherein said program code is readable and executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
-
predicting one or more next characters based on a current input character; and presenting the one or more predicted next characters as a supplementary interface in proximity to the current input character, wherein the one or more predicted next characters of the supplementary interface are selectable by the cursor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
