Abstract: A method includes detecting a first user operation corresponding to a first item in a directory structure. The directory structure represents a hierarchical arrangement of a plurality of items, including the first item, in a memory. The first user operation indicates a start of an item action with the first item. The method also includes, in response to detecting a second user operation corresponding to a second item in the directory structure, creating a virtual target in the second item in the directory structure. The virtual target is a possible location for completion of the item action with the first item. The method further includes, in response to a third user operation indicating completion of the item action with the first item in the virtual target, completing the item action with the first item in the virtual target.

Abstract: A mobile cellular telephone for speed dialling any one of a first plurality of different telephone numbers, the device including a user input device with a second plurality of user selectable actuators; means for associating any one of the actuators either with a telephone number or a respective subset of the first plurality of telephone numbers including multiple telephone numbers; and means responsive to the selection of an actuator which, if there is a telephone number associated with the selected actuator dials the telephone number and if there is a respective subset of the first plurality of telephone numbers associated with the selected actuator enables the dialling of one of the multiple telephone numbers in the subset by user selection of a respective one of the second plurality of actuators.

Abstract: The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software product for improving a message reply function of an electronic device. This can result in reducing time for responding to messages and discarding messages which are obsolete. When the user of the electronic device selects (e.g., opens) a message and optionally provides a response message signal before creating the response message to this selected message, the electronic device, in response to the selecting the message or to the response message signal, automatically determines according to a predetermined criterion whether there are related messages (at least one related message) to this message which are received by the electronic device and, if the related messages exist, informing the user about the related messages, so these related messages can be considered by the user for creating the response message (e.g., the reply or the forward message).
