Abstract: A text input method for use in an electronic device, comprising: changing, in response to a trigger within an input sequence being made by a user, from a first text input method to a second text input method, wherein the second text input method displays text corresponding to the input sequence including text corresponding to the trigger. A text input method for use on an electronic device comprising: searching, on the basis of an input sequence being made by a user, for words in a database that has a first condition and a second alternative condition; changing the condition of the database from the first condition to the second condition in response to a trigger within the input sequence; and displaying at least one word resulting from the search that includes text corresponding to the trigger.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing an event in a first datastore and a second datastore. The method comprises the steps of selecting a first datastore comprising a plurality of events, selecting a second datastore, and providing a synchronization setting for an event in the plurality of events so as to indicate how synchronization between the first datastore and the second datastore is to be performed with respect to the event. The synchronization setting may indicate that a corresponding event in the second datastore is to be synchronized with the event in the first datastore, or that the event in the first datastore is to be synchronized with the corresponding event in the second datastore, or the synchronization setting may indicate that the first datastore obtains from the second datastore an update to the information of the event, adds the update to the event, and synchronizes the event based on the updated event.
