System and method for abbreviated text messaging
First Claim
1. A method for text input to a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- processing a numerical sequence to retrieve a phrase from a memory, the phrase having a plurality of words, each of the words having a starting letter or symbol, each correlated with a numerical key of the keyboard, the numerical sequence formed from a plurality of single numerical keypresses, each keypress correlated to a starting letter or symbol of a word of the phrase; and
generating the phrase.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method and circuit for inputting phrases to a wireless mobile device and retrieving the saved phrases. For retrieval of the phrase, the user will enter a numeric sequence which represents the first letter or symbol of the words of a phrase. The method includes inputting to the wireless communication device a phrase having a plurality of words, each word having a starting letter or symbol. The wireless communication device can process the phrase to correlate one key of the keyboard to the starting letter or symbol of each of the plurality of words of the phrase to generate a numerical sequence representative of the phrase. The user then uses the keypad to input into the wireless communication device the numerical sequence to generate the phrase.
