A technique for re-mapping the input elements disposed on a hand-held electronic device to an executable function that is different than the pre- loaded or pre-assigned function(s) provided in software applications may include receiving configuration settings for a software application or a class of software applications, including at least one physical input element, such as a key, rotary dial, or a button, associated with at least one function, such as a shifting or index function or insertion of a specific character; modifying a mapping function, such as a keyboard device driver, a device layout or a translation layer, based on the configuration settings; and executing the function associated with the physical input element upon an activation, e.g., a press or actuation, of the physical input element during operation of the software application.

L'invention porte sur une technique de conversion des éléments d'introduction d'un dispositif à main en fonctions exécutables différentes de celles préchargées ou préattribuées prévues par le logiciel. Ladite fonction consiste: à recevoir un ou des logiciels commandant au moins un élément physique d'introduction tel qu'un clavier, un cadran ou un bouton associé à au moins une fonction telle qu'une fonction d'index ou de décalage ou à l'insertion d'un caractère spécifique; ou à modifier une fonction de conversion telle qu'un pilote de clavier, la structure du dispositif ou une couche de traduction en fonction basée sur les paramètres de configuration; et à exécuter la fonction associée à l'élément physique d'introduction lors de son activation, par exemple en pressant ou activant l'élément physique d'introduction pendant le fonctionnement du logiciel.
