Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008036338A1] A display data entry unit and method of configuring and operation of a display data entry unit composed of one or more display-containing data inputs that, in a preferred embodiment, include one or more depressible display-equipped keys. The unit can interface with an API that changes images shown on display keys and their associated executable functions based on contextual user interaction with a software application run on the device to which the unit is linked. In one preferred implementation, a browser module or plug-in is employed that monitors websites and causes corresponding image and executable function changes in one or more of the display keys of the unit based on the website being browsed. In one preferred implementation, the browser module or plug-in parses each web page navigated by a browser and causes such changes to automatically occur based on web page content.
