Abstract: A method of entering combinatorial data on a data entry device (DED) including sensitive means which can be activated by an intermediary of at least one actuator allowing, according to a combination of sensitive means activated, an ad hoc computer program to designate and activate an object contained in a active correspondence table in memory, where the sensitive means are made up by at least three main detection zones Zi each made up of Fi (Fi=1, 2, 3 . . . ) distinct sensitive zones, comprising at least one step of designating/selecting an object from an active table; and a subsequent step of validation and production of the designated object, wherein for at least a first part of objects from the active table, the step of designation/selection of a single object can be achieved by designation of the object in successive combinatorial mode or by designation of the object in simultaneous combinatorial mode.
