Embodiment Construction

[0011] In general, the present disclosure relates to techniques for enabling a computing device to perform icon symbol searches from within an icon search area of ​​a graphical keyboard. For example, when the computing device detects an input at a graphical keyboard of a graphical user interface (GUI) of a messaging application, the computing device may receive an indication of selection of an icon search key, and in response to the selection, the computing device may display the icon within the graphical keyboard. search bar. Based on later detected input at the graphical keyboard, the computing device may determine an icon search query from which the computing device may identify one or more candidate icon symbols (e.g., typed text, handwritten or hand-drawn queries for emoji symbols) ). The computing device may display candidate icon symbols within an icon suggestion area of ​​the graphical keyboard, and the user may select one or more of the candidate icon symbols for use...

Abstract

A computing device is described that displays a graphical keyboard including an iconographic search key associated with an iconographic search function of the graphical keyboard and responsive to a selection of the iconographic search key, displays a first updated graphical keyboard that includes an iconographic search box configured to display indications of search queries associated with the iconographic search function. The computing device determines, based on user input, an iconographic search query, and displays, within the iconographic search box, a graphical indication of the iconographic search query. The device identifies, based on the iconographic search query and using the iconographic search function of the graphical keyboard, candidate iconographic symbols and displays, a second updated graphical keyboard that includes, an iconographic suggestion region displaying one or more selectable elements corresponding to the candidate iconographic symbols.

Description

Background technique [0001] While capable of running several applications simultaneously, some mobile computing devices are only capable of presenting the graphical user interface (GUI) of a single application at a time. In order to interact with multiple applications at once, a user of a mobile computing device may have to switch between different application GUIs. For example, while composing a message or otherwise typing text, a user of a mobile computing device may have to stop typing text in a messaging application and provide input to cause the device to trigger to a search application to search for a particular piece of information to use (e.g. , icons such as emoji symbols). Contents of the invention [0002] In one example, a method includes outputting, by a computing device, for display a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys, wherein the plurality of keys includes an iconographic search key associated with an iconographic search function of the graphi...
