Embodiment Construction

[0013] The subject matter of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the above-listed embodiments shown. Components, process steps, and other elements that are substantially the same in one or more embodiments are consistently identified and described with minimal repetition. It should be noted, however, that coordinately identified elements may also differ to some extent. It should also be noted that the drawings included in this disclosure are schematic and generally not drawn to scale. Conversely, the various drawing scales, aspect ratios, and numbers of components shown in the figures may be purposefully distorted to make certain features or relationships more apparent.

[0014] figure 1 Aspects of an example data retrieval environment 10 in one embodiment are shown. figure 1 A user 12 and a portable device 14 are shown. In the illustrated embodiment, the data retrieval environment is the interior of a motor vehicle, and the user is the ...

Abstract

A data-retrieval method for use on a portable electronic device. The method comprises receiving a query string at a user interface of the device and displaying one or more index strings on the user interface such that the relative prominence of each index string displayed increases with increasing resemblance of that index string to the query string. The method further comprises displaying an index string with greater prominence when a fixed-length substring of the query string occurs anywhere in the index string, regardless of position. In this manner, the relevance of prominently displayed index strings increases as more characters are appended to the query string, even if the query string contains errors.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to data retrieval, and in particular to automatic correction of data retrieval. Background technique [0002] In many different scenarios, a user of a portable electronic device may retrieve data via the device's interface; the interface forces the user to enter a search query to identify the data to be retrieved. The user may be a motorist wishing to retrieve driving instructions from a navigation device, for example, or play a song from a portable music player library. In these and other examples, queries may be entered directly as text, or in some other form (eg, handwriting or speech) and subsequently converted to text. However, text entry, whether direct or indirect, can be inconvenient, tedious, and / or error-prone for the user. This is especially true if the interface requires long or difficult-to-remember search queries. Of course, a user who enters an incorrect search query on such an interface may have difficul...
