ABSTRACT:
Character information is input into a computing device using one or more multidirectional keys, such as an analog stick, a multidirectional button, or a d-pad. The complete collection of desired characters can be divided into character sets. Each of these sets can then be associated with one input value of one of the multidirectional keys, such as, for example, the d-pad. Selecting a value (such as up) then selects one of the character sets. Another multidirectional input device, such as an analog stick, can then be used to choose one of the characters within the chosen character set. The chosen character is then displayed.
