Embodiment Construction

[0020] Embodiments described herein relate to techniques and tools for improved use of suggested lists for data entry. Such improvements may result from the use of various techniques and tools separately or in combination.

[0021] Such techniques and tools may include generating suggestions from data already entered in other areas of the document. The underlying data structures and / or display layout of the document may be used along with the content of the document to generate a list of suggestions for input into the designated data entry area. The list of suggestions can be generated and displayed to the user without data manually entered by the user into the data entry area. The generated list may also include suggestions from other sources, such as existing dictionary-based autocomplete features. The list of suggestions can be provided in various ways, such as leveraging and / or augmenting existing aspects of the user interface (such as using existing keyboard suggestion ...

Abstract

A document having multiple data entry areas can be presented, and a list of suggestions for a designated data entry area can be generated. Generating the list can include analyzing a first set of data previously entered into one or more data entry areas of the document other than the designated data entry area and analyzing a second set of data including data outside the first set of data. The list of suggestions can be presented without having received manual entry of data in the designated data entry area, and user input selecting one of the suggestions can be received. Data represented by the selected suggestion can be entered in the data entry area in response to receiving the user input selecting the selected suggestion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to data entry, and more particularly to document data entry suggestions. Background technique [0002] Data entry in computing devices can be difficult and time-consuming in some cases. For example, typing on a tablet device with a virtual keyboard (a keyboard displayed on a touch screen) can be slow and cumbersome, especially while on the move. However, some tablet device users want to be able to use these devices to modify documents. Tools have been developed for more efficient data entry in tablet devices and other computing devices. These features include autocorrect and text suggestion features. Contents of the invention [0003] Existing auto-correction and text suggestion features may involve the user typing a near-complete word or sentence that they want to type into the keyboard to get suggestions. The tools and techniques described here involve using data already entered in a document to provide data entry ...
