Method and apparatus for entering text in a mobile station and a mobile station

摘要

The invention relates to a method for entering text in a mobile station (16) provided with a keypad (18). According to the invention, a keypress activates a character among the characters available under said key, and the activated character is the most probably desired character to be entered on the basis of the previously entered characters. The character to be activated is looked up in a succession table calculated in advance. The succession table is either a two-dimensional digram succession table operated on the basis of one preceding character, or a three-dimensional trigram succession table operated on the basis of two preceding characters. The table is constructed on the basis of the statistic probability of character succession, and the probability order is different in different languages. <IMAGE>
