  • Portable information terminal having a method for inputting symbols or pictograms
    Patent number: 8659544
    Abstract: In a portable information terminal enabling faster entry of frequently used symbols and pictograms, the control unit determines whether the pressing of the “*” key is recognized by the entry unit. If recognized, it is determined whether the mark list display setting is ON. If ON, it is determined whether the symbol and pictogram information stored in the mark list information storage unit is unregistered. If not unregistered, the symbols and characters stored in the mark list information storage unit 115b are retrieved and displayed on the display screen. If the pressed key is the center key of the four-way scroll key or the middle softkey, the symbol or pictogram on which the cursor is placed when the center key is pressed is determined as the symbol or pictogram to be entered.
