Abstract
An electronic device operates including a method for interpreting user input within an electronic device, the method comprising steps of receiving a first character via a user input (105), concurrently displaying a plurality of modal interpretations associated with the first character (110), selecting one of the plurality of modal interpretations (115), and displaying one of a first character result in response to the selection of the one of the plurality of modal interpretations (120).
Claims21
A method within an electronic device for interpreting one or more user inputs, the method comprising:
- receiving a first character input via a user input;
- concurrently displaying a plurality of modal interpretations associated with the first character input;
- selecting one of the plurality of modal interpretations;
- and
- displaying a first character result in response to the selection of the one of the plurality of modal interpretations.
A method of entering multi-mode content in an electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:
- entering at least one character;
- and
- selecting one of a modal interpretation and a character key sequence result, based on the at least one character.
An electronic device enabling entry of multi-modal content comprising:
- a user interface;
- a display;
- and
- a processing unit coupled between the user interface and the display, the processing unit adapted to:
- receive a user input via the user interface,
- cause a plurality of modal interpretations and a character sequence result to be displayed on the display,
- receive at least one other user input via the user interface,
- process the at least one other user input to provide a selection between the plurality of modal interpretations and the character sequence result, and
- cause a final selection to be displayed on the display.
