`THEREFOR
`
`5
`
`The present
`
`invention
`
`relates
`
`to a method
`
`of entering text
`
`into a device,
`
`and to a device such as a portable radio telephone
`
`or a handheld
`
`computer
`
`suitably adapted to implement
`
`said method.

`
`or "mobile

`
`Whilst mobile
`and reported world-wide.
`years has been well documented
`phone networks such as the Global System for Mobile communications
`(GSM)
`
`were originally designed for voice traffic,
`
`the sending of text messages
`
`using a
`
`Short Messaging
`
`Service
`
`(SMS)
`
`via suitably
`
`equipped
`
`phones
`
`has risen
`
`dramatically
`
`over the past couple of years, with the number of SMS messages
`
`15
`
`sent world-wide
`
`on the GSM networks
`
`reaching
`
`fifteen billion in December
`
`2000.
`
`developed
`
`This is in part due to the critical mass of ownership
`and also due to the low and typically
`
`countries
`
`now reached
`
`in
`
`fixed costs of
`
`of
`sending a text message when compared with a voice call. The popularity
`text messaging
`is also explained
`by the

`text,
`
`commonly
`
`referred

`
`Users are therefore very

`mobile phone manufacturers
`familiar with the multitap keypad layout and character association. However,
`this method often requires more than two key taps to select a character, and
`can take many key taps. The method is
`
`the entering of special characters
`therefore slow and prone to error.
`An altemative method of
`
`inputting text
`
`to a device is disclosed
`
`in US
`
`a dynamic predictive
`patent number 5,128,672 wherein the device comprises
`on a touch sensitive display. A user
`keyboard which is graphically
`displayed on
`inputs a character
`by pressing a key with the required character

`on statistical analysis of
`
`input, software provided within the device formulates
`
`based

`the keyboard
`is altered such that said most
`consequently

`This has the problem that
`
`likely
`the
`
`keyboard
`
`does not

`familiar
`
`to mobile phone
`
`users,
`
`thereby

`
`Furthermore,
`
`the access
`
`and input of special characters
`
`is a
`
`problem unsolved by the predictive means of US5,128,672.
