Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A graphic representation resulting from a user interacting with a user interface operating on a user device is received over a network. The graphic representation corresponds to a portion of a desired graphic character of a graphic character set (e.g. Chinese). The graphic representation is analyzed to select a plurality of graphic characters of the graphic character set that are a probable match of the graphic representation. The plurality of probable graphic characters are transmitted back to the user. A selection of one of the plurality of probable graphic characters is received over the network. A plurality of suggested search terms are identified to the user. Each suggested search term comprises at least one graphic character from the graphic character set. One of the plurality of suggested search terms is selected to be used to conduct an Internet search. An Internet search is then conducted using the selected search term.
