Abstract: An improved portable electronic device includes a touch-sensitive display and a text input routine that employs an error correction routine. The error correction routine evaluates inputs to determine whether they are ambiguous based upon the actual location of the input and with the use of a linguistic database. The error correction routine is suspended for a single input immediately following a deletion input, after which the error correction routine is automatically reactivated. In the example embodiment described herein, the error correction routine is suspended for a single input by ignoring the output of the error correction routine, after which the output of the error correction routine is not ignored for subsequent inputs.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for registering a user or a wireless device and executing a transaction of funds from a third party account to a prepaid account. The wireless device is in secure communication with an administrating server over a network. The administrating server is in communication with a third party entity, via a third party entity server, as well as with a prepaid server. In the initial registration process, the user provides the credentials for accessing the third party account using the wireless device. The credentials are stored on the wireless device, administrating server, or both. In subsequent transactions, the user enters in the amount to be deposited into the prepaid account and the credentials are automatically retrieved from storage for authentication. If authenticated, the transaction is executed by the administrating server.
