Abstract
An electronic communication device includes a buffer and a controller. The buffer stores characters as they are being input by a user. The controller transmits the stored characters over a network when the number of characters stored exceeds a threshold. The controller also dynamically adjusts the threshold time period.
Claims20
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a user input device;
- a buffer configured to store characters of an electronic message as the characters are being input via the input device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- wirelessly transmit the stored characters over a wireless network, prior to completion of input of the electronic message, in response to a pause in the input of characters exceeding a dynamically adjustable threshold time period;
- and
- wirelessly transmit the stored characters over the wireless network, prior to completion of input of the electronic message, in response to a quantity of the input of characters exceeding a dynamically adiustable threshold quantity.

A method performed by a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- storing characters of an electronic message as the characters are being input into a user input device of the wireless communication device;
- wirelessly transmitting the stored characters over a wireless network, before the electronic message has been completely input, in response to a pause in the input of characters exceeding a threshold time;
- wirelessly transmitting the stored characters over the wireless network, before the electronic message has been completely input, in response to a quantity of the input of characters exceeding a dynamically adjustable threshold quantity;
- and
- dynamically adjusting the threshold time and the threshold quantity.
