Embodiment Construction

[0025] Various aspects are now described with reference to the figures. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of one or more aspects. It may be evident, however, that these aspects may be practiced without these specific details.

[0026] As noted earlier, the user needs to make a manual selection to change between input methods. Every web page that a user visits includes a wealth of contextual information that can instead be used by the browser to make automatic, predictive selection of input methods. This eliminates the inconvenience of requiring multilingual users to make manual changes to the input method when the user interacts with different web pages.

[0027] Accordingly, various aspects include the use of contextual information from web pages for automatic predictive selection of input methods. The selected input method is then applied to any input received fro...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for predictively selecting an input method at a web browser. Once a user has entered information identifying a web page, contextual information at the web page is examined in order to automatically, predictively select an appropriate input method for the web page. Once the input method has been selected, a corresponding predictive typing program may be applied.

Description

Background technique [0001] An input method is a mechanism that allows users to enter characters, symbols or words that are not directly represented on their other input devices (such as a keyboard). Input methods are typically used to input non-Latin characters, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Indic scripts, from a standard QWERTY keyboard. Input methods are also used to enter Latin alphabet characters on smaller input devices such as mobile phone keypads. While smaller input devices or keyboards are used in mobile phones and digital assistants, input methods are also used in Latin-based languages. Input methods are enabled by operating system components or programs. [0002] When operating in a multilingual environment, web browsers should support multiple input methods. This allows characters from different scripts to be entered. This can be difficult when a single script, such as the Latin alphabet, may be used in an environment of more than one language. [000...
