A METHOD FOR MOBILE TEXT ENTRY

摘要

A method for inputting characters in a device having a character display and a navigation key responsive to user manipulation for navigating a cursor in the character display. The characters are displayed in a predetermined layout on the display for character input. The layout contains a fixed set of characters as well as a dynamic subset of characters. The dynamic subset is determined by a previously entered single character or string of characters. A character is selected by a user from one of the aforementioned sets. It is selected by navigating a cursor to the desired character. In a preferred embodiment, the device may include a pager, a cellular telephone, or the like.
