Method for Creating a Graphical Representation of a String of Alphanumeric Characters

A computer-implemented method for creating a graphical representation of a string of alphanumeric characters using a telephone keypad, wherein said string comprises a first alphanumeric character, one or more intermediate alphanumeric characters and a last alphanumeric character, said computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving said string of alphanumeric characters;
• determining a key position on said telephone keypad corresponding to each of said alphanumeric characters, including a first key position for said first alphanumeric character, one or more intermediate key positions for said intermediate alphanumeric characters, and a last key position for said last alphanumeric character;
• and
• generating a plurality of lines from said first key position to each of said intermediate key positions to said last key position on said telephone keypad so as to create said graphical representation of said string of alphanumeric characters.

A computer-implemented method for creating a graphical representation of a string of alphanumeric characters using a predetermined key configuration, wherein said string comprises a first alphanumeric character one or more intermediate alphanumeric characters and a last alphanumeric character, said computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving said string of alphanumeric characters;
• determining a key position corresponding to each of said alphanumeric characters, including a first key position for said first alphanumeric character, one or more intermediate key positions for said intermediate alphanumeric characters, and a last key position for said last alphanumeric character;
• and
• generating a plurality of lines from said first key position to each of said intermediate key positions to said last key position so as to create said graphical representation of said string of alphanumeric characters.

A computer-implemented method for creating a graphical representation of a string of alphanumeric characters using a telephone keypad, wherein said string comprises a first alphanumeric character, one or more intermediate alphanumeric characters and a last alphanumeric character, said computer-implemented method comprising:

• presenting a web page with a user input field for receiving said string of alphanumeric characters;
• receiving said string of alphanumeric characters in said user input field;
• determining a key position on said telephone keypad corresponding to each of said alphanumeric characters, including a first key position for said first alphanumeric character, one or more intermediate key positions for said intermediate alphanumeric characters, and a last key position for said last alphanumeric character;
• generating a plurality of lines from said first key position to each of said intermediate key positions to said last key position on said telephone keypad so as to create said graphical representation of said string of alphanumeric characters;
• and
• displaying said graphical representation of said string of alphanumeric characters on said web page.
