Interactive input with limit-value monitoring and on-line help for a palmtop device
First Claim
1. A computer system with a screen, memory and a set of parameters, said system comprising:
- an interactive input field for at least one parameter of said set of parameters; and
a set of virtual keys stored in the memory, wherein, on selecting said at least one parameter displayed on the screen, the interactive input field associated with the selected parameter and a subset of virtual keys is displayed on the screen, and wherein the subset of virtual keys is created dynamically based on said selected parameter.

Abstract
A computer system for interactively inputting parameter values. The computer system with a screen, memory and a set of parameters, comprises an interactive input field each for each of said set of parameters, a set of information items each for each of said set of parameters, said set of information items being stored in the memory; and a set of virtual keys stored in the memory. On selecting a parameter displayed on the screen, an interactive input field associated with the selected parameter and a subset of virtual keys is displayed on the screen. The subset of virtual keys comprises only those keys that are relevant to changing a value of the selected parameter.

13. A method of inputting values for a parameter into a computer system comprising:
-
(a) selecting the displayed parameter on a screen;
(b) displaying a dialog including an interactive input field associated with the parameter on the screen;
(c) displaying a subset of virtual keys on the screen; and
(d) using the subset of virtual keys to input values for the parameter, wherein the subset of virtual keys is created dynamically based on said selected parameter. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer program product, including a computer readable medium comprising instructions, said instructions comprising:
-
a selector code to enable a user to select a parameter displayed on a screen;
a dialog code to display a dialog associated with the parameter on the screen;
a keyboard code to display a subset of virtual keys on the screen; and
a data receiving code, to enable a user to input parameter values using the subset of virtual keys, wherein, the subset of virtual keys is created dynamically based on the selected parameter. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
