Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for entering characters into an electronic device. As part of a device configuration process, languages and associated character sets are stored in the electronic device. Responsive to user input as part of a device operation process, the electronic device presents a menu of language character sets for selection, with the language character sets assigned to particular positions within the menu. In response to the selected language character set, the electronic device presents a menu of language variant characters for selection, with the language variant characters assigned to particular positions within the menu. In response to selection of a language variant character, the electronic device displays the character within the display window.

Abstract: A user interface (UI) system where at a UI client engine is associated with an application, and a UI rendering engine is associated with the client engine.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes, at an electronic device having an input interface and a display, receiving information relating to a current relative location of at least one other electronic device, displaying on the display a representation of the at least one other electronic device and its relative location, and receiving at the input interface user input associated with the displayed representation of the at least one other electronic device for communicating with the at least one other electronic device.
