A data-logging framework ('logger') includes a configuration file in which an application can define various data fields and locations at which the data fields are to be logged. Some data fields include validating functions that are used by the logger to determine whether a value of a data field is valid. The application can also define (a) canonical data fields using the logger and (b) derived data fields. Upon receiving the data fields and their values from the application, the logger can determine whether the data fields are defined in the configuration file, validate the values, and log the values at the specified locations. Values of any canonical and/or derived data fields are obtained by the logger and logged at the specified locations.

Data logging framework

A set of customized dictionaries may be constructed for a particular user, each of the customized dictionaries including a different blending of one or more frequently used words collected from texts submitted by one or more users. A copy of the customized dictionaries may be sent to each of a plurality of electronic devices associated with the particular user to be stored on the electronic device and to aid the particular user in inputting text to the electronic device.

Blending customized user dictionaries based on frequency of usage

In one embodiment, collecting a plurality of words from texts submitted by one or more users; for each of a plurality of communication categories, determining a usage frequency of each of one or more of the words within the communication category based on the texts; and constructing one or more customized dictionaries that each comprise a different blending of selected words.

Creating customized user dictionary

In one embodiment, constructing one or more customized dictionaries for a particular user, each of the customized dictionaries comprising a different blending of one or more frequently used words collected from texts submitted by one or more users; and in response to the user inputting text to an electronic device, selecting one of the customized dictionaries and utilizing it to aid the particular user in inputting text.

User experience with customized user dictionary

Techniques for constructing a set of customized dictionaries for a particular user are described. Each of the customized dictionaries in the set may include a different blending of one or more frequently used words collected from texts submitted by one or more users. A copy of the set of customized dictionaries may be sent to each of a plurality of electronic devices associated with the particular user to be stored on the electronic device and to aid the particular user in inputting text to the electronic device.
