Rectangular Display with Delayed/Highlighted Letters
This design will take a typical keyboard layout and either highlight the likely following characters as determined by an autocomplete form or fade them in based upon likelihood of being chosen.
For instance, if Billy is searching for “Pirate’s of the Caribbean” and has typed “Pir” into the search form, the next most likely letter will be “a” (the results from the autocomplete of “Pir” are shown below). Therefore, our keyboard will have the letter “a” highlighted with green.

1. This will be the layout of the keyboard when Billy opens up the search. The top box will be where the words that Billy types appear, and the current letter choice is highlighted by a blue background. Since Billy wants to search for Pirates of the Caribbean, he will use the direction pad to move the blue highlighted box over to P. |
|
2. Now, Billy will press the select button to choose the letter P. |
