System and method of predicting user input to a mobile terminal

A method of predicting user input to a mobile terminal comprising:

• creating a raw user input data record comprised of input to the mobile terminal;
• creating a contextual data record to be appended to the raw user input data record;
• storing the combined raw user input data record and contextual data record in a raw user input database;
• processing the records contained in the raw user input database to identify repetitive patterns of user input;
• storing repetitive patterns of user input in a recognized input pattern database;
• monitoring current input to the mobile terminal;
• comparing the current user input to the repetitive patterns stored in the recognized input pattern database;
• and
• upon matching the current input to a repetitive pattern in the database within a specified tolerance, automatically completing the process of inputting the data.
