A method of performing expedited communication functions on a mobile device (100) includes monitoring the duration of key press (606) on a keyboard of the mobile device and determining if the monitored duration of the key press is greater than a threshold duration (608). If the monitored duration of the key press is determined to be less than a threshold duration then a primary key function associated with the pressed key is activated (612). If the monitored duration of the key press is determined to be greater than a threshold duration then an expedited communication function associated with the pressed key is activated (614).

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 27, 2004 and granted February 7, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 27, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 27, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
