You have on the UNO one serial port connected to USB converter. When you plug it to computer, it appears like a serial port. A simple terminal sw(built into arduino or an external one) can be used as text display and your keyboard as input device to arduino.
To handle it from controller side is easy. Look into examples->communication-Serialcallresponse. in Arduiono IDE. Serial.* functions doing the trick.
You can connect to Arduino serial port (those are exposed to pin header)a bluetooth module if you don't like wires. You can establish and use serial connection via bluetooth to arduino same way like you would connect via USB.
here is a module as example:
JY-MCU Bluetooth Wireless Serial Port Module for Arduino (Works with Official Arduino Boards) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
In this post, I described to Jeff5may my menu system to setup the controller:
