Mobile Input Technology Trends

The Keypad

Current state of text prediction

60% Lesser Number of Key Taps Needed

What is driving this ?• Better Language models, Accurate user behavior models

• Adaptive Learning using prior user conversations

• Connecting with social media text

The Keypad 2.0

And in the future:• Using user-context in more powerful ways

• E.g. predict whole sentences

From plain vanilla layoutTo personalized layout

Mobile Input Technology Trends

What About Touch

From Touch To Gestures

Driven by: • Advancements in capacitive touch screen sensor processing in tandem with proximity sensing

(e.g. Apple)

• Miniaturization of IR Depth Sensors (e.g. The Structure Sensor)

• Advancements in camera-array processing (e.g. Pelican Imaging)

Mobile Input Technology Trends

And Voice?

From Speak NOW To Always Listening

Driven by: • Advancements in Voice Data Models – Multi-lingual / multi-demography

• Improvements in natural language processing. E.g.

• Low power sensors which distinguish voice command “active” mode

Mobile Sensor Technology Trends

Proliferation of Sensors

Delivering Novel Use-cases and Utilities• Say, a more personalized UI (when Mobile is in Hand and facing)

• Navigation Inside-buildings (without GPS)

From Few sensors

To multi-sensor Fusion

Mobile Computing Technology Trends

Contextual Computing

Delivering Novel Use-cases and Utilities• A more personalized phone book (Who am I likely to call? E.g. Shifu)

• Anticipatory News discovery (What news am I more likely to read now?)

From near-zero personalization

To algorithmic engines that provide near-exact suggestions

---

Uses multiple activity data

Mobile Computing Technology Trends

Collaborative Computing

More Novel Use-cases around Collaborative Computing• Connect motorists looking for a parking spot with others about to leave one. E.g.

• Book hotel reservations from people who can’t use theirs. E.g.

From Personal Navigation

To Collaborative Navigation: Real people Outsmarting Traffic Together

Mobile Computing Technology Trends

Wearable Computing

Key Drivers• Always ON and low power (SOC designers making “sensor hub” devices)

• Less distracting when integrated with natural user interfaces, E.g. Voice

• Deliver more value than the mobile alone: E.g. Fitness bands

Could be hands-free with wearables
