20090187401 | HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD FOR OBTAINING NEW LANGUAGE OBJECTS FOR A TEMPORARY DICTIONARY USED BY A DISAMBIGUATION ROUTINE ON THE DEVICE - A method of obtaining data for use on a handheld electronic device having a text disambiguation function which employs a dictionary including a number of first language objects that is usable by the text disambiguation function. The method includes receiving a block of information, displaying a representation of at least a portion of the block of information, and determining whether at least one of one or more predetermined events has occurred, wherein each of the events have been deemed to indicate that the information includes language objects that is accessible for use in disambiguating ambiguous inputs. If it is determined that at least one of the events has occurred, the method further includes obtaining a number of second language objects from the block of information and storing the number of second language objects in a temporary dictionary included in the memory and usable by the text disambiguation function. | 07-23-2009 |
20100120469 | MULTI-TAP KEYBOARD USER INTERFACE - There is provided a multi-tap keyboard user interface with auditory feedback. In one embodiment, there is provided a method for controlling operation of a mobile device having a plurality of input devices, comprising associating groups of one or more keys of the input devices to define at least one input region and in response to an input received from said input devices, performing an associated action for operating the device, responding equally to any input from a same input region. A repeated input (multi-tap) to a same input region cycles through a plurality of actions associated with the input region. Auditory feedback comprising a vocalized description of the action is provided. The multi-tap keyboard user interface with auditory feedback may adapt a mobile device (e.g. PDA or smart phone) for use by visually impaired users. | 05-13-2010 |
20100223569 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING A NOTIFICATION ON A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method for providing a notification on a portable electronic device includes: providing an application for managing events that is associated with an icon and executable by a processor and rendering a visually modified icon corresponding to said icon for display on a display screen of the portable electronic device in response to occurrence of a new event. The visually modified icon includes a counter for indicating a number of new events and when the number of new events is zero, the processor of the portable electronic device fails to render the visually modified icon for display on the display screen. | 09-02-2010 |
