Fulfilling any actionable requirements before the user selects a particular autocomplete suggestion to complete the current user input

To provide selectable autofill suggestions, which correspond to application actions that are at least partially fulfilled using server command data before a user selects a particular selectable autofill suggestion.SOLUTION: Proactively fulfilling command data in this way shortens the latency from user selection of a suggestion to fulfillment of a particular action. Initially, a partial input can be processed to generate autofill suggestions. The suggestions can be communicated to a server device for further processing. The autofill suggestions can also be rendered for selection at a touch display interface, thereby allowing a user to select one of the autofill suggestions. As the server provides command fulfillment data, the command fulfillment data can be available to a corresponding application so that any corresponding actions can be at least partially fulfilled before user selection.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1C
