ABSTRACT:
A system and method for modifying or enhancing the operation of a palmtop computer which intercepts keystrokes from the keyboard, reads the keyboard characters corresponding to the keystrokes, reads display data, and based on the current state of the display, the sequence of previous keystrokes, and other variables, either delivers the current keystroke character to the application program without change, with additional or replacement characters, or dumps the current keystroke character. The system and method alters the "look-and-feel" of the computer by providing easier ways to interact by the keyboard with the built-in application programs. The system and method may monitor display data between keystrokes and determine the identity of the particular active application program based on what the display screen is displaying. Keystrokes and the display state are monitored to determine if there are additional functions to be executed for the active application program. In some instances, characters are written directly to the display to change the look of the display screen for the user to see before any keystroke is made. In some instances, the audible alert signal is monitored and audible alert signal requests are intercepted.
