Detecting logograms using multiple inputs
View Patent ↗For detecting logograms using multiple inputs, code executable by a processor may detect a sub-logogram from a written input to a written input device, detect a pronunciation from an audio input to an audio input device, and display one or more logogram hints in response to detecting the sub-logogram and the pronunciation. Each logogram hint of the one or more logogram hints includes the sub-logogram.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a written input device;
an audio input device;
a processor;
a memory that stores code executable by the processor to:
detect a sub-logogram from a written input to the written input device;
select a first list of logograms, wherein each logogram of the first list of logograms comprises the sub-logogram, and the first list of logograms comprises a Unicode representation for each logogram of the first list of logograms;
detect a pronunciation from an audio input to the audio input device;
select a second list of logograms, wherein each logogram of the second list of logograms comprises the pronunciation, and the second list of logograms comprises a Unicode representation for each logogram of the second list of logograms;
select one or more logogram hints by selecting a list of Unicode representations that includes Unicode representations that are in both of the first and second lists of logograms; and
display the one or more logogram hints to display a limited number of logogram hints to enable a user to quickly select a desired logogram, wherein each logogram hint of the one or more logogram hints comprises the sub-logogram.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each logogram hint of the one or more logogram hints comprises the pronunciation.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory further comprises code executable by the processor to select the one or more logograms by selecting the second list of logograms from the first list of logograms.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory further comprises code executable by the processor to select the one or more logograms by selecting the first list of logograms from the second list of logograms.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory further comprises code executable by the processor to select the one or more logogram hints by selecting logograms that are in both of the first list of logograms and the second list of logograms.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sub-logogram comprises a radical.
7. A method comprising:
detecting, by use of a processor, a sub-logogram from a written input;
selecting a first list of logograms, wherein each logogram of the first list of logograms comprises the sub-logogram, and the first list of logograms comprises a Unicode representation for each logogram of the first list of logograms;
detecting a pronunciation from an audio input;
selecting a second list of logograms, wherein each logogram of the second list of logograms comprises the pronunciation, and the second list of logograms comprises a Unicode representation for each logogram of the second list of logograms;
selecting one or more logogram hints by selecting a list of Unicode representations that includes Unicode representations that are in both of the first and second lists of logograms; and
displaying the one or more logogram hints to display a limited number of logogram hints to enable a user to quickly select a desired logogram, wherein each logogram hint of the one or more logogram hints comprises the sub-logogram.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein each logogram hint of the one or more logogram hints comprises the pronunciation.
9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising detecting a context of a target logogram and each logogram hint of the one or more logogram hints matches the context of the target logogram.
10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving a selection of a target logogram from the one or more logogram hints.
11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising selecting the one or more logograms by selecting the second list of logograms from the first list of logograms.
12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising selecting the one or more logograms by selecting the first list of logograms from the second list of logograms.
13. The method of claim 7 , further comprising selecting the one or more logogram hints by selecting logograms that are in both of the first list of logograms and the second list of logograms.
14. A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:
detecting a sub-logogram from a written input;
selecting a first list of logograms, wherein each logogram of the first list of logograms comprises the sub-logogram, and the first list of logograms comprises a Unicode representation for each logogram of the first list of logograms;
detecting a pronunciation from an audio input;
selecting a second list of logograms, wherein each logogram of the second list of logograms comprises the pronunciation, and the second list of logograms comprises a Unicode representation for each logogram of the second list of logograms;
selecting one or more logogram hints by selecting a list of Unicode representations that includes Unicode representations that are in both of the first and second lists of logograms; and
displaying the one or more logogram hints to display a limited number of logogram hints to enable a user to quickly select a desired logogram, wherein each logogram hint of the one or more logogram hints comprises the sub-logogram.
