Abstract:
1. A method for predicting a character sequence based on a signature sequence of equal length to that of said character sequence, said signature sequence generated by a user's consecutive selection of keys on a reduced keyboard, comprising: (i) receiving a sequence of one or more signatures for each key selected by said user, each key-signature pair of said reduced keyboard being unique, each of said one or more signatures associated with at least one dual signature and at least one of said one or more signatures associated with two or more dual signatures, each signature-dual signature pair uniquely associated with a character supported by said reduced keyboard; (ii) storing in a computer readable memory a plurality of objects, each said objects comprising: (iii) for each received one or more signatures, predicting at least one of said plurality of objects based on: wherein each of said such sequence terminating with a signature predicted as a delimiter; (iv) outputting a unique BOW character combination associated with said at least one predicted object.
