Patent ID: 8346297

Claim:
A method for dialling a destination comprising the steps of: associating groups of more than one input key and buttons of a mobile device to define at least one input region whereby a keying from any key of a same input region defines a same input; associating auditory responses and actions for operating the mobile device to respective inputs received from input keys and buttons of the mobile device comprising the keys of the at least one input region, at least one of the input regions associated with actions to input a character from a respective set of characters for composing a destination for inputting into the device such that repeating an input from a same input region selects a different character from the respective set of characters associated to that input region; and for each input received from said input keys and buttons, performing the respective action and outputting the respective auditory response associated with each input thereby to dial a destination; wherein at least one of the actions comprises repeating at least the steps of associating auditory responses and performing the respective action thereby to associate different auditory responses and actions with the inputs received for subsequent operation of the mobile device; and wherein a one of the at least one of the actions initiates a dialing function to store a destination for subsequent dialing thereby to associate the input regions with said different auditory responses and actions to input a reference to store the destination for dialing.
