Alphanumeric information input method
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving first data from a user representing alphanumeric information; and
predicting at least one additional item of alphanumeric information based upon the first data and a personal context model, the personal context model including at least a personal language model and context markers that correlate to the personal language model.

Abstract
An alphanumeric information entry process that includes provision and use of a personal context model that correlates various examples of user context against a unique personal language model for the user. The personal language model itself along with considerable correlation examples can be developed by statistical analysis of user documents and files including particularly email files (including address books). Such processing can be done locally or remotely. The personal context model is used to predict subsequent alphanumeric entries for a given user. In one embodiment predictions are presented one word at a time. Predictions can be automatically changed in one embodiment when the user fails to make any input for a predetermined period of time.

17. A method comprising:
-
providing a plurality of e-mail files for a user; processing the plurality of e-mail files to develop a personal context model for the user, the processing including developing a personal language model for the user based, at least in part, upon an analysis of alphanumeric information usage with respect to user context; and using the personal context model to predict subsequent alphanumeric information when receiving input data representing alphanumeric information from the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method comprising:
-
providing alphanumeric information as digitally stored by a user on a first device to a remote location; receiving at least portions of a personal language model for the user as based, at least in part, upon the alphanumeric information; and using the personal language model and context information to predict subsequent alphanumeric information when receiving input data representing alphanumeric information from the user. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method comprising:
-
using a personal language model for a user to predict subsequent alphanumeric information when receiving input data representing alphanumeric information from the user, which prediction is based upon the input data and a personal context model; and modifying the personal language model based upon subsequently entered input data representing alphanumeric information from the user, wherein the personal context model is user dependent and context sensitive.
