From playing with an android device I've noticed that their "autocorrect" interface seems to go further than merely suggesting one replacement for a misspelled word; it actually tries to predict what word it thinks you'll type next before you actually start typing. For example, after I type "Harry" the keyboard lists "Potter" as one of the three suggestions. Or after entering "Affordable c", it offers to complete "c" to "Care" (with a capital C). Does the autocorrect patent specify what the algorithm is used to provide the suggested replacements, or does it lay claim to all possible algorithms?
What does it suggest if you type "Android users are a bunch of " .... ?
I have posted this several times on AI. In pre-trial motions over the past year leading up to this case Apple has been doing very well while Samsung is the opposite.
This is just yet another to add the the growing pile of decisions in Apple's favor.
So many people happy. I'm happy too. But how legitimate are the opinions of people who used to doubt the judgment of Koh in the first place?
Judge Koh was trying to be fair the first time but leaned over backwards in her support for Samsung. After Samsung lawyers distributed confidential information and didn't think anything of it, Koh got really upset (you know the other word, pi**ed) and now I see her opening her eyes to the kind of company Samsung really is. The gloves are off and this time she's not going to take anything from Samsung. That's why people are celebrating.
This is more Google's doing than Samsung's. Especially since the example given was the Galaxy Nexus which did not include Touch Wiz nor any modifications to the OS by Samsung. It's going to be interesting to see what the end result will be.
I looked through the patent and to me it seems overly broad. It covers every possible variation of user interaction with a keyboard and autocorrect as long as the keys are pressed and a word is suggested. It's not limited at all to the way Apple implements auto correct in iOS. It seems too broad to even allow predictive word suggestion, which isn't covered in the patent.
The only method of autocorrect that seems to get around this is the swipe functionality built into the current Google keyboard, where the user doesn't have to make a second gesture (hitting the space bar or selecting the suggested word) for the correction to be used in the sentence.

That's his point. When Koh supports Samsung, people say she's "leaning over backwards in her support for Samsung." When she rules against them she's now instead being fair and "not leaning over backwards in her support" for Apple.

I follow the same reasoning. And since when are having doubts a mischief?

This is a saga, not an anecdote and we've reached...what?...page 5 of 350.
Maybe, but, overall, it's not looking good for Samsung, wouldn't you say?

I just tried this. Here are the word completions it suggested as I typed.
"us" -> "users", "us", "is"
"a" -> "are", "and", "a"
"bu" -> "bunch", "bug"
(after selecting "bunch") -> "of", "and", "more"
(right after selecting "of") -> "the", "this, "a"
Interestingly the keyboard didn't suggest "Android" until I had entered "Androi"
Well thanks for trying ... I'll ask Siri her suggestions ...

Seems an odd link for you
How's that?

Samsung's Definition of Innovation: Buy a Patent.
Reverse troll?
