Apple traži zabranu prodaje Galaxy Nexusa u SAD-u

Nisam znao da se mogu patentirati neke tako generičke stvari. Pa tko normalan odobrava te patente... Kud ovaj svijet ide...

Ma bio bi red da google i samsung njih malo uskrate. Samsung im lijepo prestane proizvodit dijelove, Google sa Motorolom lijepo tuži za sve patente koji upotrebljavaju i gle čuda, više nema iPhonea. Ili se bar neće više udostojit tužakat.

Flash memoriju, DRAM memoriju i procesor

Meni nije jasna jedna stvar, ako već postoji više proizvoda na tržištu sa određenom, kako ju možeš patentirati? Što nije ideja patentiranja patentirat prije izdavanja, a ne se igrat ko će prvi patentirat pa tužakat uokolo.

Pročitajte prve dvije i 4. točku, oni su patentirali dvije stvari koje već odavno postoje, dakle patentirali su toplu vodu i sad će tužakat. Ja bi tužio Ameriku jer dopuštaju ovakve gluposti.

Much data that appears in a computer user's day-to-day activities contains recognizable structures that have semantic significance such as phone numbers, e-mail addresses, post-office addresses, zip codes and dates. In a typical day, for example, a user may receive extensive files from word-processing programs and e-mail that contain several of these structures. However, visually searching data files or documents to find these structures is laborious and cognitively disruptive, especially if the document is lengthy and hard to follow. Furthermore, missing a structure such as a date may lead to missing an important meeting or missing a deadline.

To help facilitate searching a document for these structures, programmers can create or employ pattern analysis units, such as parsers, to automatically identify the structures. For the purposes of the present description, the term "pattern" refers to data, such as a grammar, regular expression, string, etc., used by a pattern analysis unit to recognize information in a document, such as dates, addresses, phone numbers, names, etc. The term "structure" refers to an instantiation of a pattern in the document. That is, a "date" pattern will recognize the structure "Oct. 31, 1995." The application of a pattern to a document is termed "parsing."

Conventional systems that identify structures in computer data do not enable automatic performance of an action on an identified structure. For example, if a long e-mail message is sent to a user, the user may implement a pattern analysis unit to search for particular structures, such as telephone numbers. Upon identification of a structure, the user may want to perform an action on the structure, such as moving the number to an electronic telephone book. This usually involves cutting the structure from the e-mail message, locating and opening the electronic telephone book application program, pasting the structure into the appropriate field, and closing the application program. However, despite the fact that computer systems are getting faster and more efficient, this procedure is still tedious and cognitively disruptive.

One type of system that has addressed this problem involves detecting telephone numbers. Such systems enable a user to select a telephone number and request that the application automatically dial the number. However, these systems do not recognize the selected data as a telephone number, and they generally produce an error message if the user selects invalid characters as a phone number. Also, they do not enable the performance of other candidate actions, such as moving the number to an electronic telephone book. That is, if a user wishes to perform a different action on an identified telephone number, such as storing the number in an address book, the user cannot automatically perform the action but must select and transfer the number to the appropriate data base as described above.

Therefore, a system is needed that identifies structures, associates candidate actions to the structures, enables selection of an action and automatically performs the selected action on the structure.

One of the basic needs of a computer user, especially with the recent growth in the amount of data and information available via networks and the Internet, is to be able to quickly search through the available information to identify useful items, and to thereafter easily locate those items. To satisfy this need, many computer operating systems contain routines that provide a simple way to locate objects. For example, the Finder of the Macintosh.RTM. Operating System implemented by Apple Computer, Inc. includes a Find File utility which permits a user to locate various files located in the system directories (e.g., folders) using keywords that occur in the desired file's name. The Find File utility includes the ability to search on local disks and mounted servers. The Windows.RTM. operating system, implemented by Microsoft Corporation, also employs a Find mechanism that allows a user to locate files stored in the computer system. The application uses inputted search criteria to generate and display a list of possible files that satisfy the search criteria. At times however, the list can become long and cumbersome, thereby requiring the user to sift through the list and identify useful information. Accordingly, this technique may fail to significantly reduce the time and effort a user expends to identify and retrieve useful information.

As another feature for quickly retrieving items of interest, some computer systems store a list of previously used documents or applications from which they can be easily invoked. However, this feature requires the user to access a different interface element to retrieve the item, and does not provide for the use of keywords to identify the specific document or program that the user desires.

Also, with the advent of the Internet, various specialized find routines have been developed that can be loaded into a computer's memory and launched in order to facilitate user requests for particular information on servers located throughout the world. Additionally, web browser applications enable a user to access worldwide websites and interact with search engines provided by the website.

Like the Find File utility discussed above, finding information on the Internet can prove frustrating because search criteria are often too broad. For example, when a keyword is entered, thousands of different web pages containing these keywords can be displayed in a list for a user to choose from. Accordingly, additional search criteria are needed to more effectively filter information available, for example, on the World Wide Web. However, there is little technology currently available which allows the computer to help the user determine such additional criteria or to automatically provide additional criteria, so that search results have a higher percentage of items that are of interest to the user.

Additionally, web-browser applications are not designed to search for non-web-based documents or applications located on the computer or an associated computer network and, conversely, File Find-type utility programs are not capable of searching the Internet for web-based documents or applications. There has been no combination of desktop find routines that presents a single interface and Internet browsing routines to allow a computer user to find a needed or desired item of information from among all different types of information storage systems. Additionally, there is no program which is able to process the user's input and then determine, using many different factors, including use of the Internet, the intent of the user as to the file to be retrieved. Accordingly, in order to present a more informative and personalized user interface, a unitary manner of finding a user's desired item of information is needed.

In recent years, the functional capabilities of portable electronic devices have increased dramatically. Current devices enable communication by voice, text, and still or moving images. Communication by text, such as by email or short message service (SMS), has proven to be quite popular.

However, the size of these portable communication devices also restricts the size of the text input device, such as a physical or virtual keyboard, in the portable device. With a size-restricted keyboard, designers are often forced to make the keys smaller or overload the keys. Both may lead to typing mistakes and thus more backtracking to correct the mistakes. This makes the process of inputting text on the devices inefficient and reduces user satisfaction with such portable devices.

Accordingly, there is a need for more efficient ways of entering text into portable devices.

*****

The above deficiencies and other problems associated with user interfaces for portable devices are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed device that includes a text input interface that provides word recommendations.

  According to some embodiments, a computer-implemented method may be performed at a portable electronic device with a keyboard and a touch screen display. The method includes: in a first area of the touch screen display, displaying a current character string being input by a user with the keyboard; in a second area of the touch screen display, displaying the current character string or a portion thereof and a suggested replacement character string for the current character string; replacing the current character string in the first area with the suggested replacement character string if the user activates a key on the keyboard associated with a delimiter; replacing the current character string in the first area with the suggested replacement character string if the user performs a first gesture on the suggested replacement character string displayed in the second area; and keeping the current character string in the first area if the user performs a second gesture on the current character string or the portion thereof displayed in the second area.
