Patent ID: 6950988

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for concurrently accepting parameters in at least two contexts, the method comprising: accepting a keystroke sequence comprising at least one keystroke, each keystroke having a first value, and at least one keystroke having a second value; determining whether the keystroke sequence produces a valid result in a first context; responsive to the keystroke sequence producing a valid result in the first context: outputting first feedback, the fist feedback indicating keystroke input according to the first context; and performing a first action corresponding to the first context, using the first value for each keystroke; responsive to the keystroke sequence not producing a valid result in the first context: determining whether the keystroke sequence produces a valid result in a second context; and responsive to the keystroke sequence producing a valid result in the second context: outputting second feedback, the second feedback indicating keystroke input according to the second context; and performing a second action corresponding to the second context, using the second value for each keystroke.
