Abstract

When a user enters text into an application, the application can utilize an auto-complete feature to provide the user with estimations as to a complete term a user is attempting to enter into the application. Visualization can be provided along with an estimation to disclose the likelihood the estimation is what the user intends to enter. Furthermore, a rationale can be provided to the user for the reason an estimation was provided to the user.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

an indicator component that associates an estimated completion entry with a representation of a likelihood of the estimated completion entry being a proper entry; and

a transfer component that emits the estimated completion entry associated with the representation to an auxiliary location.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the auxiliary location is a presentment component capable of presenting the representation.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the representation of the likelihood is a visual representation.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising an approximation component that creates the estimated completion entry from an input entry that is at least a partially completed.

5. The system of claim 4, further comprising artificial intelligence that makes at least one inference or at least one determination or at least one of each in relation to association of the estimated completion entry with the representation of the likelihood.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a calculation component that determines the likelihood of the estimated completion entry being proper.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a selector component that chooses the representation of a likelihood for association with the estimated completion entry.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a feedback component that gathers reaction information that relates to association of the estimated completion entry with the representation.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising a rank component that orders at least one estimated completion entry.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising an assurance component that integrates at least one criterion for engagement with the estimated completion entry associated with the representation.

11. A method, comprising:

positioning at least one projected conclusion expression in a subset; and

incorporating at least one demonstration to at least one projected conclusion expression, wherein the demonstration relates to at least one criterion used to position the projected conclusion expression.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising receiving a participation expression on which to base at least one projected conclusion expression.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising disclosing the projected conclusion expression incorporated with the demonstration.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising calculating a value for at least one projected conclusion expression, wherein the value is used in positioning at least one projected conclusion expression in a subset.

15. The method of claim 11, further comprising selecting a projected conclusion expression for presentment based on a participation expression.

16. The method of claim 11, further comprising gathering response data to positioning of at least one projected conclusion in the subset, incorporating at least one demonstration to at least one projected conclusion expression, at least one criterion used to position the projected conclusion expression, or a combination thereof.

17. The method of claim 11, further comprising integrating at least one circumstance for commitment with at least one projected conclusion expression.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein the determination is an image determination.

19. A system, comprising:

means for correlating an evaluation of a comprehensive reflection with a illustrative depiction of a probability that the evaluation of a comprehensive reflection is an adequate reflection; and

means for revealing the estimation of the comprehensive reflection with the correlated illustrative depiction.

20. The system of claim 19, further comprising means for augmenting the illustrative depiction with a rationale for correlation of the evaluation of a comprehensive reflection with the illustrative depiction.
