System and method for effectively navigating polysemous symbols across a plurality of linked electronic screen overlays

An apparatus, comprising:

• an integrated input and display device configured to provide displayed polysemous symbols for selection on an initial electronic screen overlay;
• and
• a memory configured to store a plurality of the selectable polysemous symbols in association with a pointer identifying display of an electronic screen overlay which is different from the initial electronic screen overlay, the integrated input and display device being configured to display a second electronic screen overlay, in response to selection of one of the provided polysemous symbols, the second electronic screen overlay being associated with the selected polysemous symbol.

A apparatus, comprising:

• an integrated input and display configured to display a virtual keyboard including a plurality of polysemous symbols for selection on an initial electronic screen overlay;
• a memory, configured to store a plurality of the selectable polysemous symbols in association with a pointer identifying display of an electronic screen overlay which is different from the initial electronic screen overlay;
• a processor configured to determine initial selection of one of the provided polysemous symbols, and configured to control the display of a second electronic screen overlay on the integrated input and display, in response to the determined initial selection, the second electronic screen overlay being the electronic screen overlay associated with the selected polysemous symbol and including a virtual keyboard wherein less than all of a plurality of key location on the virtual keyboard include a non-polysemous symbol, the integrated input and display device being further configured to either control output of at least one of a word, sentence, phoneme, message, letter, number, morpheme, command and phrase or display a third electronic screen overlay on the display in place of the second electronic screen overlay, in response to the processor determining selection of one of the non-polysemous symbols.
