摘要： A computer device, such as a mobile phone or PDA for example, is able to access an application program or command, based upon selection of corresponding sequences of symbols. 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 programs and/or commands of the computer device, with only a relatively small number of symbols displayed. In devices such as PDAs and mobile phone where display space is a premium, such access to commands and programs can be invaluable.

摘要翻译： 例如，诸如移动电话或PDA的计算机设备能够基于相应的符号序列的选择来访问应用程序或命令。 这种符号在本质上可以是多义的，因此根据与其排序的其他符号，可以与多个不同的含义相关联。 通过使用多义符号，可以开发相对大量的序列并且与计算机设备的程序和/或命令相关联，只显示相对较少数量的符号。 在诸如PDA和移动电话的设备中，显示空间是非常重要的，这样对命令和程序的访问是无价的。
