Summary
The application relates to the auto-correction of text using contextual data derived from one or more sensor and clock inputs. The Hearing Officer applied the Aerotel/Macrossan test and considered the signposts laid out in HTC v Apple and decided that the contribution made by the invention fell solely within excluded matter. The application was refused as no more than a program for a computer as such.
