Current input methods for Western European portable input electronic apparatuses accommodate only phonemes of Western European languages; however, they do not accommodate the phoneme structures of the same. In the present invention, by performing setting so that, for a number of keys , one key is assigned input for a plurality of alphabet letters in a form which accommodates the entirety of phoneme structures of Western European languages, for across all Western European languages. It is then possible to input the same content as with a current personal computer in methods which use a 3 row, 3 column keyboard and switch keyboards manually, with approximately a 30% increase keystrokes, and in methods which use a 3 row, 5 column keyboard and do not switch keyboards, with approximately a 10% increase in keystrokes. In methods which use a 3 row, 3 column keyboard and determine a input result in accordance with a dictionary, it is possible to input the same content with approximately a 25% increase in keystrokes, and in the case of a similar 3 row, 5 column keyboard, with a similar number of keystrokes as with a current personal computer. |
