About

Pressing buttons on a mobile phone chooses various functions, as if the phone's functions are controlled by a code. Mobile phones are difficult to use almost entirely because their code is difficult to use. We can design a new code systematically, and using Huffman codes we can find one that is much faster and simpler than the manufacturer's original code.
