Handheld Electronic Device and Method for Disambiguation of Compound Text Input and That Employs N-Gram Data to Limit Generation of Low-Probability Compound Language Solutions

摘要

A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software that is operable to disambiguate compound text input. The device is able to assemble language objects in the memory to generate compound language solutions. The device is able to analyze the combinations of language objects in light of N-gram data stored on the device to avoid proposing low-probability compound language solutions.
