Methods and systems for data entry

A method comprising:

• providing a first electronic device associated with a user comprising at least first microprocessor, a user input device, and a display;
• establishing upon the first electronic device a selection made by the user with respect to a user interface displayed upon the display, the selection made via one or more entries made by the user with the user input device relating to a language selection or a menu selection;
• upon establishing with the first microprocessor either that the selection was a menu selection or that the selected language is not supported by a software application associated with the user interface triggering a call to a second electronic device associated with the user;
• providing upon the second device which comprises at least a second microprocessor, a touch sensitive display, and a memory a software keyboard upon a touch sensitive display of the first device, the software keyboard being a predetermined software keyboard of a plurality of software keyboards supported by the second device and displayed upon the touch sensitive display, wherein each software keyboard of the plurality of software keyboards relates to a predetermined language and the predetermined software keyboard of the plurality of software keyboards relates to the selected language;
• transmitting first signals from the second device to a third device comprising at least a third microprocessor via a communications interface according to a first predetermined standard, the first signals comprising data relating to keyboard actions of the user with respect to the predetermined software keyboard of the plurality of software keyboards upon the touch sensitive display;
• and
• generating and providing second signals with the third microprocessor of the third device to the first device to which the third device is connected such that the second signals mimic user actions of a physical keyboard attached to or forming part the third device;
• wherein
• the second signals are generated in dependence upon the data relating to keyboard actions of the user with respect to the predetermined software keyboard of the plurality of software keyboards within the first signals received by the second device;
• wherein
• the call to the second electronic device when the selection is established as the menu
• selection launches an application upon the second electronic device relating to the provisioning of the plurality of software keyboards;
• and
• the user selects the predetermined software keyboard of the plurality of software keyboards within the application.
