ABSTRACT:
An input device includes a plurality of character input keys and is operable in a single and a multiple alphabetic character input mode. In the single alphabetic character input mode, an individual character input key is assigned a single alphabetic character, and activating the individual character input key inputs the alphabetic character. In the multiple alphabetic character input mode an individual character input key is assigned multiple alphabetic characters, and the specific character that is input depends upon the number of times the individual character input key is activated. Accordingly, a portion of the character input keys may be deactivated in the multiple alphabetic character input mode.
