FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to input of data into electronic devices. This method, which allows the user to input data into an electronic device, involves determination of one or more symbols, as the most probable to be chosen next by the user. These symbols are displayed on the screen of the electronic device in form of strips, comprising three parts: first part, comprising functional pictograms; second part, comprising one or more symbols proposed as the next; and the third part, comprising several other symbols. One or more symbols in the second part and several other symbols in the third part are determined and displayed, based on which functional pictograms where chosen in the first part. The means of scrolling down proposed next symbols and several other symbols the user is provided with, allows for selection of one or more proposed next symbols or, alternatively, one or more other symbols as data, input into the electronic device.
EFFECT: more convenient and faster typing on an electronic device.
