Handheld electronic device with text disambiguation
First Claim
1. A method for disambiguating user inputs to a handheld mobile device, comprising:
- receiving an ambiguous input sequence from an input device;
generating, from one or more word databases, a list including one or more disambiguated character sequences corresponding to the ambiguous input sequence;
receiving a selection input for selecting one of the disambiguated character sequences;
receiving a delimiter input for terminating an input session; and
updating the one or more word databases with the selected disambiguated character sequence in response to the delimiter input.

Abstract
A method for disambiguating user inputs through a handheld mobile device is disclosed. According to the method, an ambiguous input sequence is received from an input device. A list including one or more disambiguated character sequences is generated on a display device corresponding to the ambiguous input sequence. An additional input is received from the input device. A processor determines that the additional input is an operational input associated with one of a plurality of operations on the disambiguated character sequences. The processor processes the disambiguated character sequences according the one of the plurality of operations associated with the operational input.

15. A handheld mobile device, comprising:
-
an input device configured to receive user input; a display device configured to display character sequences in response to the user input; a memory configured to store one or more word databases; and a processor configured to; receive an ambiguous input sequence from the input device; generate from one or more word databases, a list including one or more disambiguated character sequences on the display device corresponding to the ambiguous input sequence; receive a selection input for selecting one of the disambiguated character sequences; receive a delimiter input for terminating an input session; and update the one or more word databases with the selected disambiguated character sequence in response to the delimiter input. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for disambiguating user inputs to a handheld mobile device, the method comprising:
-
receiving an ambiguous input sequence from an input device; generating, from one or more word databases, a list including one or more disambiguated character sequences on a display device corresponding to the ambiguous input sequence; receiving a selection input for selecting one of the disambiguated character sequences; receiving a delimiter input for terminating an input session; and updating the one or more word databases with the selected disambiguated character sequence in response to the delimiter input. - View Dependent Claims (24)
