Abstract:
1. A computer program product comprising one or more storage device having stored computer-executable instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, implement a method for replicating text entered at a virtual keyboard on an interactive touch screen display into a plurality of separate data fields, the method comprising: an act of displaying an application data field; an act of presenting a virtual keyboard on the interactive touch screen display, the virtual keyboard including a plurality of virtual keys for entering characters into the application data field which is visibly separated from the virtual keyboard; an act of receiving user input selecting a virtual key, from among the plurality of virtual keys; an act of providing character input corresponding to the selected virtual key to an application associated with the application data field; an act of displaying a separate data field, which is distinguished from the application data field and which is visibly separated from the application data field and into which a visual representation of the character input can be displayed; an act of presenting said visual representation of the character input corresponding to the selected virtual key in either of the application data field or the separate data field; and an act of subsequently echoing the visual representation of the character input corresponding to the selected virtual key in the separate data field or the application data field, without requiring additional user input, such that the character input is displayed at both the application data field as well as the separate data field, automatically in response to receiving the user input selecting the virtual key, without requiring additional user input for activating a send control.
