MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD ENABLING IDENTIFICATION OF PREVIOUSLY ENTERED DATA FOR TRANSLITERATION OF AN INPUT

摘要

An improved mobile electronic device and associated method enable the identification of previously-entered textual objects in one or more custom wordlists to identify possible transliterations of textual inputs. Such textual objects can be stored as data in a Pinyin custom wordlist if it is in the nature of Standard Mandarin characters or it can be stored in a BoPoMoFo custom wordlist if it is in the nature of Traditional Chinese characters, or it can be stored in both if it is in the nature of both Standard Mandarin characters and Traditional Chinese characters.
