PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively input a text record such as addresses or date. SOLUTION: Adaptive text input for a mobile electronic device permit efficient entry of hybrid alpha-numeric text records, such as street addresses and calendar dates, using a keypad. The adaptive text input modes automatically toggle between different text input modes in a manner that conforms to expected formats for text records. The number of keypad inputs is thereby reduced without the need for a user of the mobile electronic device to manually toggle between text input modes when entering text records on the keypad. The adaptive text input modes may be selected based on location information. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
