TEXT ENTRY USING ROLLOVER CHARACTER ROW

摘要

A system and method for text entry in a user interface in a large display is provided. The improved on-screen keyboard is displayed and provides a rotating character row on the large display when a text entry window is presented. The rotating character row comprises a first plurality of characters for selection from a first subset of characters of a character set. The character set loops around in a circular fashion when a beginning or an end of the character set is reached allowing continuous rotation of the character set. Directional input is received from a remote control input device wirelessly coupled to the electronic device to rotate the character set to facilitate selection of individual characters. The user can then select character from the character set for entry into the text window.
