A method for volume adaptation, a mobile electronic device and a computer program product are disclosed. According to the method for volume adaptation, a sound producing function is started. At intervals, a present first environmental noise is sampled, a present set playing volume of the mobile electronic device is inquired about, and a second environmental noise occurring on setting the playing volume is obtained. Finally, the playing volume is adjusted according to the first environmental noise and the second environmental noise. In this way, the present invention is able to automatically adjust the playing volume thereof in response to the environmental noises of different times, which largely increases the convenience of using the mobile electronic device.

An antenna structure is disposed on a substrate. The antenna structure includes a-shaped radiation body and a first radiation body, and both share a feeding end and a grounding end. The feeding end and the grounding end are disposed to a side edge of the-shaped radiation body. The positions of the feeding end and the grounding end allow the-shaped radiation body to form the operation of two frequency bands. Moreover, the first radiation body is vertically extended from the side edge near the feeding end disposed to the-shaped radiation body, and continuously extended from an end to keep a spacing between periphery of the-shaped radiation body and the first radiation body, and extended to a front of an opening of the-shaped radiation body, thereby vertically extending toward the opening. Therefore, the first radiation body could provide the operation of another frequency band.

Antenna structure

A system to be used to add non-listed characters (i.e., characters not listed in character key-in methods) to the vocabulary banks of character-key-in methods used in hand-held mobile communication devices is disclosed. Users of a mobile communication device can select a character or characters which are built in the system but not indexed by a certain character-key-in method (that is, the characters cannot be keyed in with that character-key-in method), index the aforesaid characters, using the indexing system/method of the character-key-in method, and then add them to the key-in method's character-indexing system so that subsequent users of the mobile communication device can use said character-key-in method to key in said (originally non-indexed/listed) characters.

System for adding extra characters to a vocabulary list of a selected character key-in method in hand-held mobile communication devices
