An input method using standard numeric keypad which complies with CCITT
standards and comprises a plurality of CCITT standard keys is disclosed.
Each CCITT standard key has a corresponding CCITT key value. The method
comprises the steps of: reassigning a first CCITT key value with an
actuating key value of a first function; checking if the first CCITT key
value is input, if "YES" then actuating the first function to reassign
every CCITT key value with a new input key value of predetermined
function; and, checking if any CCITT key value is input, if "YES" then
performing the predetermined function corresponding to that input CCITT
key value based on the first function. Therefore, all functions of the
input method can be operated by using merely the CCITT standard keys
without the need for other non-standard function keys.
