Abstract

A context efficient keyboard entry method uses default keypad maps based on statistical information and the context of the currently entered message in order to improve character entry efficiency. In one embodiment of the invention, different keypad maps are used for the first letter (Fig. 4, 402), second letter (404) and Rest Of Word (ROW) (406). In another embodiment, the characters assigned to each keypad (Fig. 12) key are arranged based on alpha character profile usage while alphabetical order is maintained. In still another embodiment, dynamic keypad labeling is used to change from two key entry modes such as numeric mode or alpha (or alpha numeric) modes, or between a dialing mode and a text entry mode.
