Abstract
The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for inputting text into an electronic device (). A virtual keyboard () having a plurality of keys () is displayed on a display screen () and one or more characters are associated with each key. An input pattern is generated by a user and the key(s) () positioned on or proximal to the input pattern are identified. The keys () in the virtual keyboard () are allocated to pre-defined groups (A,B,C), such that each group comprises a plurality of said keys (). The input pattern is encoded in dependence on the pre-defined groups in which each of said one or more identified keys () are arranged. A candidate word or words is identified to be input into the electronic device () based on the encoded input pattern. The present invention also relates to computer-implemented methods for identifying candidate words based on the correlation between input and candidate string lengths; and/or upper/lower input length thresholds; and/or the identification of valid/invalid string combinations. The present invention also relates to a corresponding system, such as a computational apparatus ().
