Method of storing data in and searching through an electronic phone number data book in a digital mobile phone with character recognition function

Abstract: A method of storing data in an electronic phone data book for a digital mobile phone, which includes a key input part, display, touch screen for inputting characters, character code storage for storing character and number codes, character database for storing feature data corresponding to character and number codes, and character recognition device. A method of searching through the electronic phone data book includes setting the mobile phone in a search mode, generating a search mode character code corresponding to touch screen data input, determining whether the search mode character code is registered in said phone book storage and displaying a corresponding phone number if it is.

Intelligent default selection in an on-screen keyboard

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for intelligent default selection of characters to be entered via an on-screen keyboard. Based on one to several criteria, a character most likely to be selected for entry via the on-screen keyboard during a search request is determined and a selector is positioned at that particular character. If that character is indeed the character the user wishes to enter, the user does not have to execute any navigation steps to enter the character, but can—with a single actuation—enter that character. In many instances, the user will only have to enter the selection without first having to navigate to the selection. As a result, the number of times buttons need to be actuated by the user to enter a character string can be significantly reduced.

Handheld electronic device and associated method enabling text input in a language employing non-roman characters

Abstract: A handheld device includes a plurality of input members, a first set of which each have a Roman character assigned thereto, a least some of which have a first non-Roman and a second non-Roman character assigned thereto. In response to an actuation of a first one of the input members, a first one of the non-Roman characters that is assigned to the first one of the input members is displayed. Based on one or more rules which govern permissible character sequences in the subject language, the display of a second one of the non-Roman characters in response to an actuation of a second one of the input members having the second one of the non-Roman characters assigned thereto immediately following the actuation of said first one of the input members is prevented.
