METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC PREDICTION OF WORDS IN A TEXT INPUT ASSOCIATED WITH A MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE
First Claim
1. A method, using a terminal connected to a keypad and a display, for automatically predicting at least one word saved in a word database that can be accessed using the terminal, this at least one word characterizing content, context, or both, associated with an image or a sequence of images, the at least one word having been predicted in order to complete a text-based message associated with the image content or the context of the image or sequence of images while inputting the message text using the terminal, said method comprising the following steps:
- a) selecting the image or the sequence of images using the terminal;
b) automatically adapting the word database to compile words derived from a content analysis, a contextual analysis, or both, specific to the image or to the sequence of images;
c) based on at least one new letter entered into the text using the terminal, automatically predicting and proposing at least one word beginning with the at least one new letter, this word being a word saved in the database;
d) automatically inserting the at least one predicted and proposed word into the text.

Abstract
The invention is in the technological field of digital imaging. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for automatic prediction of words when entering the words of a text associated with an image (6). The object of the invention is a method whereby a terminal (1) connected to a keypad (2) and a display (3) is used for selecting an image (6) and providing automatic assistance by proposing words when inputting text associated with the content or context of the selected image. The invention method is mainly intended to be used to make it quicker and easier to input text associated with an image using a mobile electronic device, such as for example a mobile cellphone or phonecam.
