Incremental multi-word recognition
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- outputting, by a computing device and for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys;
receiving, by the computing device, a plurality of indications of gestures detected at a presence-sensitive input device, a first indication of the plurality of indications of gestures being associated with traversal of a first key from the plurality of keys and a second indication of the plurality of indications of gestures being associated with traversal of a second key from the plurality of keys, wherein a first character is associated with the first key and a second character is associated with the second key;
outputting, by the computing device and based at least in part on the first and second indications of the plurality of indications of gestures traversing the first key and subsequently the second key, a candidate phrase comprising a group of candidate words, wherein at least one of a first candidate word or a second candidate word from the group of candidate words comprises the second character subsequent to the first character;
determining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the candidate phrase, a next word that is subsequent to the first candidate word and the second candidate word in the candidate phrase; and
outputting, by the computing device and for display, the next word.

Abstract
In one example, a computing device includes at least one processor that is operatively coupled to a presence-sensitive display and a gesture module operable by the at least one processor. The gesture module may be operable by the at least one processor to output, for display at the presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys and receive an indication of a continuous gesture detected at the presence-sensitive display, the continuous gesture to select a group of keys of the plurality of keys. The gesture module may be further operable to determine, in response to receiving the indication of the continuous gesture and based at least in part on the group of keys of the plurality of keys, a candidate phrase comprising a group of candidate words.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor of a computing device to:
-
output, for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys; receive, a plurality of indications of gestures detected at a presence-sensitive input device, a first indication of the plurality of indications of gestures being associated with traversal of a first key from the plurality of keys and subsequently a second indication of the plurality of indications of gestures being associated with traversal of a second key of the plurality of keys, wherein a first character is associated with the first key and a second character is associated with the second key; output, based at least in part on the first and second indications of the plurality of indications of gestures traversing the first key and subsequently the second key, a candidate phrase comprising a group of candidate words, wherein at least one of a first candidate word or a second candidate word from the group of candidate words comprises the second character subsequent to the first character; determine, based at least in part on the candidate phrase, a next word that is subsequent to the first candidate word and the second candidate word in the candidate phrase; and output, for display, the next word. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A device comprising:
-
one or more computer processors; and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to; output, for display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys; receive a plurality of indications of gestures detected at a presence-sensitive input device, a first indication of the plurality of indications of gestures being associated with traversal of a first key from the plurality of keys and subsequently a second indication of the plurality of indications of gestures being associated with traversal of a second key of the plurality of keys, wherein a first character is associated with the first key and a second character is associated with the second key; output, based at least in part on the first and second indications of the plurality of indications of gestures traversing the first key and subsequently the second key, a candidate phrase comprising a group of candidate words, wherein at least one of a first candidate word or a second candidate word from the group of candidate words comprises the second character subsequent to the first character; determine, based at least in part on the candidate phrase, a next word that is subsequent to the first candidate word and the second candidate word in the candidate phrase; and output, for display, the next word. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
