  • Publication number: 20140149870
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for modifying key functionality based on context of a user interface. A system configured to practice the method presents a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface providing a user interface element for data entry, and analyzes a user interaction via the user interface element and a context of the user interaction within the user interface element. Based on the user interaction and the context, the system activates a non-default mode for a key having a default mode. The key can be a physical key or a key in a virtual on-display keyboard. The default mode can be inserting a character such as a period or a comma, and the non-default mode can be launching voice input. The system receives, via the key, input directed to the user interface element, and performs an action associated with the non-default mode in response to the input.
