Character Handwriting
Recognition
Character handwriting recognition is
offered as an alternative to using a
keyboard. This character input
method allows the drawing out of
characters instead of picking them
out from the keyboard. Character
handwriting recognition has two
main modes, upper case and mixed
case. The upper case mode is used
for Destination Entry while mixed
case is used for all other character
entry modes. This feature is
available by touching the globe icon
from the keyboard.
The Handwriting Recognition
display is split into different zones:
.Drawing Pad: This is the area
to draw a character. Draw a
character in the display area.
When the first character is
complete, a representation of
that character can be seen, and
there is an audible response.
If the character is correct, the
next character can be started
immediately. ‐
To delete the last entered
character, draw a line from left
to right across the character
field.
‐ To create a space, draw a line
from right to left across the
character field.
. Prioritized Guess List: This
area displays a list of guesses
for the character drawn.
If character recognition displays
the incorrect character, look at
this list and see if the desired
character is available to select.
Scroll up or down the list, then
highlight the desired character.
Touching a character from the
list will replace the incorrect
character with the desired
character. The character is
displayed in the character entry
section.
. Character Entry: This is the
area across the top of the
display. This section can look
different depending on which
feature is being used. Option Settings
This section is an area on the right
side of the Character Recognition
display. This section will only look
different if the characters displayed
on the display are in upper case or
mixed case.
.
k:
Touch from the display. The
draw speed setting will adjust
the speed of the character
recognition feature. The settings
are: Faster, Default, and Slower.
. Audio Feedback: Touch to turn
Audio Feedback On or Off.
Audio feedback is an audible
response to an action that has
occurred while using the
Character Recognition.
. ABC/abc: Touch from the
infotainment display to view the
available character sets. Touch a
character set to change. Multiple
character sets may not be
supported by some regions. This
option also displays the
sentence case of upper or lower
case characters that are
currently active in a mixed case

mode. If only one character set
is available for the desired
region, touching the character
recognition will only open and
close the character recognition
window.
If mixed case character mode is
supported, the last characters of
character recognition will be
upper and lower case.
One-Shot Search
Enter a full or partial Address,
Contact, or POI into the search bar
and the system will search and
display all of the matches.
The contacts that are searched
includes both connected phone’ s
contacts list and the vehicle’s
contacts list.
Search Process
The process of prioritizing the
search is to help shorten the length
of time at finding the results. If there
is a 100% match found when a
search type is carried out, the
remaining searches abort. The system conducts the search in
the following order:
1. Vehicle Contacts List
2. Connected Phone Contacts List
3. POIs
4. Addresses
The Contacts are done first because
the list will be relatively short and
can be done quickly.
POIs are done next because the
amount of time it takes for search
for the average POI is consistent.
The less deviation during a search
would mean an average of less time
taken.
The Addresses are last because the
standard deviation for an address
search is very large. Some address
searches are very quick, but others
may take very long. Because of this,
the address search would not be
conducted unless a good match
could not be found in either
Contacts or POIs. Autocomplete
The autocomplete is preloaded with
all recent destinations and POI
category names. Previous POI
name searches are remembered.
If only one type of result is found,
the single type result is shown.
Within each group, they are listed in
confidence order. This means the
highest confidence result will be at
the top.
If multiple types of matches are
found, the result list with the highest
confidence match displays.
Address and Contact matches are
shown in full width list format. The
match results will display unique
icons for full addresses, streets,
intersections, cities, states/
provinces, and countries.
POIs show in a split list format with
the map on the right displaying the
locations of the matches. The brand
icon or category icon will display for
the match results.

When a list displays, the results for
a particular type can be filtered by
touching the filter option along the
top of the display. If there are no
particular results for a selected type,
a message is indicated in the list.
For example:
.For no addresses: “No
Addresses Found Within province>”
. For no POIs: “No POIs Found
Within <75 km/50 mi/ 800 km/
500 mi>.” This distance is shown
depending on what radius is
completed and what current
units are touched.
. For no contacts: “No Contacts
Found.”
The system performs partial
searches on contacts, so typing a
first name or last name would find a
match. The entire contact name
does not need to be entered for it to
be found in a search.
Touching a contact listed on the
results list shows the standard
contact details view to touch an item, such as an address to start
routing, or a phone number to place
a call.
Address
.
A destination can be searched
by typing out the address,
intersection, highway, or freeway
entrance ramps on the
keyboard. This information is
typed and displayed in the
information field. Touch the
search icon to start the search.
For example:
City: Crawford
Street: Main Rd
House #: 12334 .
State/province information does
not have to be included in the
search field if entering an
address that is located in the
same state.
. Whenever the keyboard view is
entered, the last text that was
typed, even if it was not
searched on, will display.
. A partial or complete address
can be typed in the search field.
If a partial address is typed, the
system attempts to use local
knowledge to fill in additional
information. For example, if no
city name or state/province are
given, the system assumes a
search for something in the
current city or a nearby city in
the current state/province. The
system is also capable of
recognizing address formats
according to other regions.
If a destination address or location
being entered is outside of the
country, the country abbreviation
must be added after the address.

Spelling Mistakes
The system is able to offer
alternatives if the searched term is
not found exactly. The system uses
the closest term it finds and
provides those results.
The system first searches the
entered term exactly. If no matches
are found, partial words are used.
Search in Process
Touch Search, the results will
display with the activity indicator.
There is a non-selectable List item
in the list that says“Searching”to
indicate that it is in process.
Once the results are found, the
correct list will display.
No Results Found
If no results are found from an
entered search term, a popup
displays indicating there are no
results found. Touch OK to return to
the keyboard view. Results Display
If only a single match is found at the
end of a search, the list is not
shown but the Destination Details
view is shown. Touch Back from the

was manually adjusted. If multiple types of matches are
found, the All list is shown with the
results sorted by confidence order
with the highest confidence result at
the top.
