Abstract:
1. A method comprising: detecting, by a computing device, at a presence-sensitive screen of the computing device, a first gesture; determining, by the computing device and based on the first gesture, one or more characters of an input string; detecting, by the computing device, at a region of the presence-sensitive screen that is associated with a terminator symbol, a second gesture, the second gesture detected after the first gesture; determining, by the computing device, a type of the second gesture; responsive to determining that the type of the second gesture is a virtual key press gesture type, adding, by the computing device, the terminator symbol to the input string and outputting, by the computing device and for display at the presence-sensitive screen, the terminator symbol; responsive to determining that the type of the second gesture is a prediction completion gesture type that is different than the virtual key press gesture type, outputting, by the computing device and for display at the presence-sensitive screen, a combination of a predicted completed string for the input string and the terminator symbol.
