DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with the invention there is provided a method of entering information into a communication terminal having a display, navigation means for navigating through information candidates, and selection means for selecting one of the candidates, said method comprising displaying in the display a string of entered information, displaying, separately from the entered information string, a second string of possible information candidates, one of these candidates being highlighted by the cursor controlled by the navigation means, and copying the highlighted candidate from the second string to the entered information string upon selection by the selection means.
Hereby, the user will be able to overview both the written characters and the characters he may select for entering.
This makes it possible to vary the string of candidates, and the information entry method may be used in relation to several different applications, such as normal text entry, calculator entry, music entry, and entry of Chinese signs.
The invention provides a new and improved method of entering data into a communication terminal, allowing the user to increase the data entry rate.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the method is used in a communication terminal, such as a phone having navigation means provided as a depressable roller wheel, said method including moving the cursor by rolling the roller wheel, and selecting an item pointed out by the cursor by depressing the roller wheel.
Then the user may concentrate on what is going on in the display--while he is only using a single key.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, the terminal is equipped with at least two entry modes for entering different types of information into different applications in the terminal, and comprising sorting the possible information candidates in the second string in dependence on the current mode of the terminal.
When entering a text in Latin letters, there is no need for displaying Chinese letters, music notes, or other irrelevant signs
