1. A method of disambiguating an input into a handheld electronic device having an input apparatus, an output apparatus, a processor, and a memory having stored therein a plurality of objects comprising a plurality of language objects, the input apparatus including a plurality of input members, each of at least some of the input members having a plurality of linguistic elements assigned thereto, the method comprising: (1) detecting, by the processor, an ambiguous input; (2) generating a number of compound language solution representations by, for each compound language solution representation: identifying a language object corresponding with a first portion of the ambiguous input and having a length equal to the length of the first portion, for the remaining portion of said ambiguous input other than said first portion, identifying one or more other language objects, each of said one or more other language objects corresponding to all or a portion of said remaining portion, and including in the compound language solution representation the language object corresponding with the first portion of the ambiguous input and at least a portion of each of the one or more other language objects; (3) outputting said compound language solution representations; (4) grouping, by the processor, said output compound language solution representations into one or more groups based on the number of the one or more other language objects fully or partially included therein; and (5) arranging, by the processor, said groups in order of decreasing priority according to the number of the one or more other language objects fully or partially included in the compound language solution representations in each group.
1. A method of disambiguating an input into a handheld electronic device having an input apparatus, an output apparatus, a processor, and a memory having stored therein a plurality of objects comprising a plurality of language objects, the input apparatus including a plurality of input members, each of at least some of the input members having a plurality of linguistic elements assigned thereto, the method comprising: (1) detecting, by the processor, an ambiguous input; (2) generating a number of compound language solution representations by, for each compound language solution representation: identifying a language object corresponding with a first portion of the ambiguous input and having a length equal to the length of the first portion, for the remaining portion of said ambiguous input other than said first portion, identifying one or more other language objects, each of said one or more other language objects corresponding to all or a portion of said remaining portion, and including in the compound language solution representation the language object corresponding with the first portion of the ambiguous input and at least a portion of each of the one or more other language objects; (3) outputting said compound language solution representations; (4) grouping, by the processor, said output compound language solution representations into one or more groups based on the number of the one or more other language objects fully or partially included therein; and (5) arranging, by the processor, said groups in order of decreasing priority according to the number of the one or more other language objects fully or partially included in the compound language solution representations in each group. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of objects further comprise a plurality of frequency objects, each of at least some of the language objects being associated with an associated frequency object, the method further comprising, for each subset of the output compound language solution representations in the one of said groups having an equal calculated length identity value, calculating for each output compound language solution representation in the subset an average frequency value comprised of an average of the frequency values associated with the language object corresponding with the first portion thereof and the one other language object fully or partially included therein and arranging the output compound language solution representations in the subset in order of decreasing priority according to the decreasing value of the average frequency value.
