Abstract

A method and system simplifies and accomplishes the programming of a PED (12), such as a cellular telephone (22), via the use of a personal computer (PC). The present invention includes software (52, 54) within the PC (14) for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) to the user for ease and simplicity of selecting various programming features and settings associated with the cellular telephone to be programmed. The software further includes a translator (56) for translating these user selected features/settings into specific key depresses to be sent to the cellular telephone, via software and hardware interfaces (58, 18, 20), for accomplishing the programming of such features/settings. Additionally, the software includes the capability to monitor the data being displayed on the cellular telephone because such data may be required to accomplish various programming features.
