CONTEXT AWARE INPUT ENGINE
Context aware input engines are provided. Through the use of such engines, various input elements may be determined based on analyzing context. A variety of contexts may be analyzed in determining input elements. Contexts may include, for example, a communication recipient, a location, a previous user interaction, a computing device being utilized, or any combination thereof. Such contexts may be analyzed to advantageously provide an input element to a user. Input elements may include, for example, an onscreen keyboard of a certain layout, an onscreen keyboard of a certain language, a certain button, a voice recognition module, or text-selection options. One or more such input elements may be provided to the user based on analyzed context.
1 . One or more computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method, the method comprising:
analyzing a user interaction to associate an input element with a first context;
analyzing a second context to determine to provide the input element to a first user; and
providing the input element to the first user.
2 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 1 , wherein the first context is equal to the second context.
3 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 1 , wherein the user interaction was generated by the first user.
4 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 1 , wherein the first context comprises the location of the user interaction.
5 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 1 , wherein the first context comprises a communication recipient.
6 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 1 , wherein the input element comprises a keyboard.
7 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 1 , wherein the input element comprises a text-selection interface.
8 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 7 , wherein the text-selection interface comprises text from a dictionary, the dictionary being associated with the first context.
9 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 1 , wherein the first context comprises a communication recipient, the second context comprises the communication recipient, the input element comprises a communication.
10 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 1 , wherein the user interaction comprises selecting the input element.
11 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 10 , wherein the first context comprises the application providing for the user interaction.
12 . The one or more computer storage media of claim 1 , wherein the input element comprises a voice recognition engine.
13 . A computing device, comprising:
an input device for receiving input from a user;
one or more processors configured to execute a method for analyzing a first context to determine a first dictionary associated with the first context, analyzing the data obtained from the input device to select a first word from the first dictionary, and providing the first word to the user as a selection-option; and
a display device configured to present the first selection-option to the user.
14 . The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the input comprises a character.
15 . The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the first dictionary comprises tags associating one or more words with one or more contexts.
16 . The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the first word comprises a user-generated word, and wherein the first context comprises a communication recipient.
17 . The computing device of claim 16 , further comprising:
a memory device configured to store the user-generated word, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to associate the user-generated word with the communication recipient.
18 . The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine a second dictionary, analyze the input to select a second word from the second dictionary, and assign a first rank to the first word and a second rank to the second word.
19 . The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to analyze a second context.
20 . An input element presentation system including one or more computing devices having one or more processors and one or more computer storage media, the input element presentation system comprising:
a context identification component;
an association component for associating contexts with input elements;
an input element identification component for identifying input elements based on analyzing contexts; and
a presentation component for presenting input elements to a user.
