EXPEDITED COMMUNICATION KEY SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A method of performing expedited communication functions on a mobile device (100) includes monitoring the duration of key press (606) on a keyboard of the mobile device and determining if the monitored duration of the key press is greater than a threshold duration (608). If the monitored duration of the key press is determined to be less than a threshold duration, then a primary key function associated with the pressed key is activated (612). If the monitored duration of the key press is determined to be greater than a threshold duration, then an expedited communication function associated with the pressed key is activated (614).
