First Claim
1. A method of receiving a user-input as a string of symbols on a touch screen of an electronic device and displaying the string of symbols on the touch screen, the method executable by the electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying on the touch screen a plurality of virtual keys such that the plurality of virtual keys occupies an entirety of the touch screen, each of the plurality of virtual keys having a boundary and the boundaries of the plurality of virtual keys have contact zones with each other, a given one of the plurality of virtual keys having;
an indication of an input symbol that can be inputted by actuating the given one of the plurality of virtual keys; and
a field for displaying data,both the indication of the input symbol and the field for displaying data being positioned inside the boundary of the given one of the plurality of virtual keys;
receiving an indication of a user interaction with a user-actuated virtual key of the plurality of virtual keys, the user-actuated virtual key being associated with a desired symbol; and
displaying the desired symbol in the field of a virtual key of the plurality of virtual keys;
wherein the field for displaying data of each of the plurality of virtual keys does not obstruct the input symbol of any of the plurality of virtual keys, and wherein the fields for displaying data of a first virtual key and a second virtual key define a continuous field for displaying data across the boundaries of the first and second virtual keys.

Abstract
The claimed invention relates to the method of data entering and displaying on devices equipped with touch screens using the Graphic User Interface (GUI) comprising a virtual keyboard providing interaction of a user with device. The claimed effect is reached due to the method of entering and displaying of alphanumeric and other graphical symbols on the electronic device touch screen comprising the following steps: generate on a device touch screen a virtual keyboard consisting of data input/output virtual keys, and each virtual key comprises the input symbol sample and the field of displaying of the entered data; determine user interaction with the said virtual keyboard; and arrange and display on the device display in the virtual key field of displaying of the entered data symbols entered by the user using the said virtual keyboard.
