ABSTRACT:
A compound portable computing device comprising two or more separate portable devices coupled over a wireless link is described. A first portable computing device contains a first portion of a full-size keyboard, such as a standard QWERTY keyboard or foreign language keyboard. A second portable computing device contains a second portion of the full-size keyboard, and the first portion and the second portion together comprise the keys of the full-size keyboard. A network link is established that couples the first portable computing device to the second portable computing device. A partial keyboard map is loaded into memory of the first and second devices. The partial keyboard map loaded into the memory of the first device corresponds to the portion of the keyboard contained in the first device, and the partial keyboard map loaded into the memory of the second device corresponds to the portion of the keyboard contained in the second device. The partial keyboard maps are operable to allow the first and second portable computing devices to operate in conjunction with each other to provide text input using the first and second portions of the full-size keyboard.
