`ABSTRACT
`
`A method and device for improved character input are
`described, wherein the method employs a keypad 100 com(cid:173)
`prising keys 102 able 10 display secondary characters 106 in
`addition to primary characters 104. The keypad bas a default
`display state. A first key selection causes the keypad 100 to
`display secondary characters 106 asoociated with the first
`key oo other keys 102, whereupon a second key selection
`causes the displayed character to be input, following which
`the keypad reverts to displaying the defaull state. Further
`secondary characters 200 may also be displayed after a first
`key select.ioo. The method is particulady useful for bandbeld
`devices such as mobile radio telephones or handhcld com(cid:173)
`puters adapted to implement the method of the invention.
