Abstract

Claims (47)

1. A device comprising:

a display;

a memory storing at least one instruction; and

at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory, the at least one processor configured to:

receive an input for inputting at least one character,

predict a type of an extended word including the at least one character, based on a type and order of at least one word that precedes the at least one character, wherein the type of the extended word includes a type of part of speech or components of a sentence,

recommend one or more extended words including the at least one character, based on the predicted type, and

receive an input for selecting one of the recommended one or more extended words.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to recommend a plurality of extended words including the selected word based on a characteristic for inputting characters.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive an input for selecting one of the recommended plurality of extended words,

recommend at least one other extended word including the selected extended word in response to receiving the input for selecting one of the recommended plurality of extended words.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

predict whether a space is located next to the selected extended word; and

recommend the other extended word including the selected extended word or other extended words not including the selected extended word, based on the predicting.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the other extended words not including the selected extended word are determined based on at least one extended word pre-displayed, the selected extended word, and the space.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

display the one or more words outside a character input window, and

differently display the one or more words to indicate whether extended words to be recommended for each of the one or more words exist.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to recommend the one or more words by applying the input at least one character to an artificial intelligence (AI) model, and

wherein the AI model is configured to learn using at least one of: information regarding characters or pieces of speech data input in the past, statistical data regarding a common use frequency for each word, or information regarding a word selected from among the one or more words recommended by the device.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the recommended one or more words are determined based on a use frequency with respect to each of the one or more words.

9. A method by which a device provides recommended words for at least one input character, the method comprising:

receiving an input for inputting at least one character;

predicting a type of an extended word including the at least one character, based on a type and order of at least one word that precedes the at least one character, wherein the type of the extended word includes a type of part of speech or components of a sentence;

recommending one or more extended words including the at least one character, based on the predicted type, and

receiving an input for selecting one of the recommended word.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising recommending a plurality of extended words including the selected word based on a characteristic for inputting characters.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the recommending of the plurality of extended words comprises:

receiving an input for selecting one of the recommended plurality of extended words; and

recommending at least one other extended word including the selected extended word in response to receiving the input for selecting one of the recommended plurality of extended words.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the displaying of the selected extended word comprises:

predicting whether a space is located next to the selected extended word; and

recommending the other extended word including the selected extended word or other extended words not including the selected extended word, based on the predicting.

13. The method in claim 11 , wherein the recommended one or more words are determined based on a use frequency with respect to each of the one or more words.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the other extended words not including the selected extended word are determined based on at least one extended word pre-displayed, the selected extended word, and the space.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the recommending of the one or more words comprises:

displaying the one or more words outside a character input window; and

differently displaying the one or more words to indicate whether extended words to be recommended for each of the one or more words exist.

16. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the recommending of the one or more words comprises recommending the one or more words by applying the at least one character to an artificial intelligence (AI) model, and

wherein the AI model is configured to learn using at least one of: information regarding characters or pieces of speech data input in the past, statistical data regarding a common use frequency for each word, or information regarding a word selected from among the one or more words recommended by the device.

17. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon at least one instruction set which when executed causes a device to:

receive an input for inputting at least one character,

predict a type of an extended word including the at least one character, based on a type and order of at least one word that precedes the at least one character, wherein the type of the extended word includes a type of part of speech or components of a sentence,

recommend one or more extended words including the at least one character, based on the predicted type, and

receive an input for selecting one of the recommended one or more extended words.
