Abstract

A method and an apparatus for fast delivering an electronic mail via a message transceiver, such as cellular phones, personal data assistants and remote controls connected to a network. By pressing a shortcut key in electrical connection with an internal circuit of the message transceiver, the e-mail window is opened immediately. When the message transceiver is operating in the e-mail window, the shortcut key operates as a function key for inputting the symbol @, such that the user can easily input the e-mail address as desired.

Claims

1. An apparatus for fast delivery of an electronic mail, comprising:

a message transceiver;

at least one shortcut electrically connected to an internal circuit of the message transceiver, the shortcut being operative to switch a current operation window to an e-mail window and input a symbol @ for inputting an e-mail address after entering the e-mail window.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the shortcut key is operative to switch to the window immediately after being pressed in the current operation window different from the e-mail window.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the shortcut key is operative to input the symbol @ after being pressed in the e-mail window.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the shortcut key is independent of a built-in input key of the message transceiver.
