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 themout 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 display.
The Handwriting Recognition screen
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.
Selecting a character from the
list will replace the incorrect
character with the desired
character. The character is
displayed in the character entry
section of the display.
. 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 showing
on the display are in upper case or
mixed case.

.k:Select from the infotainment

The settings are: Faster, Default,

. Audio Feedback: Touch to turn
Audio Feedback On or Off.

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
include 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 to 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.
