Abstract
A system comprising a feature identification means configured to generate one or more features from a plurality of samples, wherein each of the plurality of samples are sampled at a different time and correspond to a location of a single continuous gesture on a gesture-sensitive keyboard as the gesture is being performed and, wherein each of the one or more features relates to one of a plurality of targets of the gesture sensitive keyboard that a user may have intended to input when performing the gesture. The system comprises a prediction means configured to predict one or more terms from the one or more features, the prediction means comprising a prefix tree generating means configured to generate a prefix tree of terms which includes the one or more features, a path finding means configured to find one or more paths through the prefix tree of terms given the one or more features, and a predictor. A corresponding method is also provided.
