20080233546 | Visual scene displays, uses thereof, and corresponding apparatuses - A method and a device are provided. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving an indication of selection of a key from a keyboard, including at least one of a polysemous symbol and a compilation symbol; and displaying a scene related to the selected at least one of a polysemous symbol and a compilation symbol. In at least one embodiment, the device includes a keyboard including a plurality of keys including polysemous symbols; and a display to display, on at least a portion thereof and in response to receiving an indication of selection of a key including at least one of a polysemous symbol and a compilation symbol, a scene related to the selected at least one of a polysemous symbol and a compilation symbol. | 09-25-2008 |
20090150828 | Device and method for previewing themes and categories of sequenced symbols - A computer device, such as a mobile phone or PDA for example, is able to output a message based upon selection of a corresponding sequence of symbol. Such symbols can be polysemous in nature and thus be associated with a plurality of different meanings depending upon other symbols sequenced therewith. By utilizing polysemous symbols, a relatively large number of sequences can be developed and associated with stored messages in the computer device. To aid a user in accessing a desired sequence or to aid in training the learning of stored sequences, for example, a category relating to at least two symbol sequences is fed back to the user upon pre-selecting a symbol; a theme relating to at least two symbol sequences is fed back to the user upon selecting a symbol and pre-selecting a next symbol; and/or a message associated with a sequence is fed back to the user upon selecting and/or pre-selecting at least one symbol completing a symbol sequence. | 06-11-2009 |
20120123784 | SEQUENCED MULTI-MEANING TACTILE SYMBOLS USEABLE TO PRODUCE SYNTHETIC PLURAL WORD MESSAGES INCLUDING WORDS, PHRASES AND SENTENCES - An embodiment of the present application is directed to a method including providing a keyboard, including a plurality of keys, at least some of the keys including polysemous symbols which provide distinctive tactile feedback to a user; and accessing a word, phoneme or plural word message, based upon sequentially selected ones of the polysemous symbols providing distinctive tactile feedback. Another embodiment of the present application is directed to a system, including a keyboard, including a plurality of keys, at least some of the keys including polysemous symbols which provide distinctive tactile feedback to a user; and a processor to access a word, phoneme or plural word message, based upon sequentially selected ones of the polysemous symbols providing distinctive tactile feedback. | 05-17-2012 |
20120174035 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREVIEWING THEMES AND CATEGORIES OF SEQUENCED SYMBOLS - A method is disclosed. An embodiment of the method includes receiving an indication of a selection of one of a plurality of displayed selectable symbols displayed in a first display area; receiving an indication of at least one further selection of at least one of the plurality of displayed selectable symbols; and providing feedback to the user, subsequent to and in response to the at least one further selected at least one next symbol completing a symbol sequence including at least the first selected symbol, the feedback including display, in a second display area separate from the first display area, of previously undisplayed information including at least one of a message, command, and program and display of the first selected symbol and the at least one further selected symbol, in sequence of selection. | 07-05-2012 |
20140028709 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFECTIVELY NAVIGATING POLYSEMOUS SYMBOLS ACROSS A PLURALITY OF LINKED ELECTRONIC SCREEN OVERLAYS - A method, apparatus and computer readable medium are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the method includes providing polysemous symbols for selection on an initial electronic screen overlay displayed on a display; storing, in a memory, a plurality of the selectable polysemous symbols in association with a pointer identifying display of an electronic screen overlay which is different from the initial electronic screen overlay; and displaying a second electronic screen overlay on the display, in response to initial selection of one of the provided polysemous symbols. In at least one embodiment, the second electronic screen overlay is the electronic screen overlay associated with the selected polysemous symbol. | 01-30-2014 |
20140028710 | APPARATUS, COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM AND METHOD FOR EFFECTIVELY USING VISUAL INDICATORS IN NAVIGATING POLYSEMOUS SYMBOLS ACROSS A PLURALITY OF LINKED ELECTRONIC SCREEN OVERLAYS - A method, apparatus and computer readable medium are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the method includes providing polysemous symbols for selection on an initial electronic screen overlay displayed on a display, a plurality of the provided polysemous symbols including a visual indicator indicating a link to a different next level electronic screen overlay; storing, in a memory and in association with each one of the plurality of polysemous symbols, a pointer identifying display of the next level electronic screen overlay which is different from the initial electronic screen overlay; and displaying the next level electronic screen overlay which is different from the initial electronic screen overlay on the display, in response to initial selection of a respective one of the plurality of polysemous symbols including the visual indicator, the next level electronic screen overlay being the electronic screen overlay associated with the selected polysemous symbol. | 01-30-2014 |
20140028723 | VISUAL SCENES FOR TEACHING A PLURALITY OF POLYSEMOUS SYMBOL SEQUENCES AND CORRESPONDING RATIONALES - A method includes displaying a second electronic screen overlay on a display, in response to an initial selection of one of provided polysemous symbols, the second electronic screen overlay being the electronic screen overlay associated with the selected polysemous symbol; storing, in the memory, a plurality of visual scenes, each respective one of the plurality of visual scenes being stored in association with at least two symbol sequences beginning with the initially selected polysemous symbol; and displaying one of the plurality of visual scenes on the display, in response to selection of one of the symbols on the displayed second electronic screen overlay, the displayed visual scene being stored in the memory in association with at least two symbol sequences including, in sequence, the initially selected polysemous symbol and the selected one of the symbols on the displayed second electronic screen overlay. | 01-30-2014 |
20140032210 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR A MULTIFUNCTIONAL INTERACTIVE DICTIONARY DATABASE FOR REFERENCING POLYSEMOUS SYMBOL SEQUENCES - An embodiment of the present application is directed to an apparatus, method, and or computer readable medium for effectively storing an interactive dictionary database in a memory. The interactive dictionary database includes a plurality of symbol sequences, each of the plurality of symbol sequences including at least one polysemous symbol and each of the plurality of symbol sequences being stored in association with at least one word, sentence, phoneme, message, letter, number, morpheme, command and/or phrase. The method includes providing, in the interactive dictionary database, information useable to assign at least a subset of the plurality of symbol sequences at least one of an active and an inactive status. | 01-30-2014 |
20140032584 | APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR SELECTIVELY EDITING POLYSEMOUS SYMBOL SEQUENCES IN A MULTIFUNCTIONAL INTERACTIVE DICTIONARY DATABASE - An embodiment of the present application is directed to an apparatus, method, and or article of manufacture. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving an indication of selection of an editing mode for editing a displayed one of a plurality of linked electronic screen overlays, without editing any of the plurality of electronic screen overlays linked to the displayed electronic screen overlays; receiving an indication of selection of a key location for editing on the displayed electronic screen overlay, subsequent to the receiving the indication of selection of the editing mode; receiving an indication of selection of a parameter from a plurality of parameters associated with the selected key location; and receiving an indication of a change in the selected parameter. | 01-30-2014 |
