CN1271490C - Ultrahigh rate character input unit of portable telephone - Google Patents

Abstract

Character input rate of a prior art portable telephone is low because characters are inputted using only the thumb. When the inventive portable telephone provided with one joystick, two shift keys and twenty six keys on the opposite side faces is grasped by both hands and ten fingers of both hands are used, any one of twenty six alphabetical characters can be inputted by a single depressing operation without switching of a shift key, and since characters can be inputted by blind touch, they can be inputted at an ultrahigh rate. A novel epoch-making field is developed for a portable telephone as a communication means and convenience of a user can be enhanced significantly.

Description

The input device of pocket telephone

Technical field

The input device of the portable machine that the present invention relates to the input device of pocket telephone and use as data communication terminal with communication function.

Background technology

Along with the development of data communication technology in recent years, the PDA machine (carrying information terminal) of the input device that is equipped with the mail transmission/reception function or data communication facility is arranged in pocket telephone has appearred.

Fig. 1 is the front view (FV) of conventional cellular phone machine in the past, is made of display screen 02, antenna 03, receiver 04, transmitter 05, power switch 10, various mode switching key 11, navigation key 12, text button 17 and body 16.

In general, pocket telephone on the plane identical with display screen (information display section), is equipped with about 12 text buttons that can carry out the literal input, about 4 key and 1 navigation keys that are used for the various patterns of conversion as shown in Figure 1.

The PDA machine also is the key that is equipped with the same degree number on the plane identical with display screen.In the PDA machine, the machine that existing bond number lacks than pocket telephone, otherwise, also have as personal computer keyboard, be furnished with the machine of the key more than 50.

Fig. 2 is the front view (FV) of the input device of folder-type portable telephone set in the past.Be provided with linkwork 14 at central portion, when non-use, that display screen and keypad portion is relatively folding.Owing to be small-scale structure, be easy to carry.

No matter be pocket telephone or PDA machine, the both has text button on the plane identical with display screen.In addition, as shown in Figure 2, when non-the use, can will the plane and the flat-folded machine that display screen is arranged of literal be arranged, though as notebook, has the angle of inclination between its display screen and the keypad portion, but any keypad portion of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 all is only to be configured on the plane in the front of being seen when user's angle is observed.

During input characters, as shown in Figure 3, right-handed person grips pocket telephone with the right hand, and display screen is remained on visual front, the thumb of the mobile right hand, pressing key successively on pocket telephone.

Grip pocket telephone, when passing through the thumb operation push-button input characters of the right hand,, therefore, can freely be used to do other thing (for example grip the suspension ring of electric car or carrying school bag) with the right hand because left hand is empty.

The machine of the small-sized and manipulated with one hand in the PDA machine, its using method is identical with pocket telephone.Under the situation of left-handed person, utilize the hand and the finger pressing key of an opposite side with right-handed person.

The large-scale machine of PDA machine owing to be to place on the desk, uses the finger of two hands, resemble the operation personal computer keyboard input characters, therefore, be subjected to freely being used for a hand restriction of other functions, simultaneously, also be subjected to the restriction of necessary use desk or knee.Be hold by one hand and with pocket telephone and the small-sized PDA machine of the finger of this hand operation, the singlehanded thumb of gripping machine is sequentially moved in the keypad portion in about 12 fronts, input characters.Therefore, the thumb input speed of pushing each key speed that determined to make article.

In addition, 12 keys are arranged approximately on the keypad portion of portable phone machine face, be assigned as 26 literal and 10 numeric literals of alphabetical A～Z.Be assigned three kinds of alphabetic literals and a numeric literal on the average key.

Text input speed when only using the thumb input is compared with the speed that makes with the hands 10 finger inputs of PC and so on, is about 1/20 speed.Therefore, even the fast technology of development data communication speed owing to can not improve text input speed, can not be given full play to the advantage of technology.Its reason just is only to use a singlehanded thumb, because the number of keys that thumb is born is too much, the scope that thumb moves is excessive, moreover, because the scope that thumb moves is excessive, touch system (do not see the key of pushing, Yi Bian just seeing the display screen that shows the key that is pressed, Yi Bian the operation of pressing key) obvious more difficult.The user will allow sight line alternately move between display screen and 12 front keyboards, and therefore, not only input speed is slow, and the chance of mistake input also can increase.

Thereby people wish that the text input speed of pocket telephone or small-sized PDA machine is faster than present speed.In addition, for needn't with the hands can further improving text input speed if make only with the singlehanded literal input of carrying out pocket telephone under the state freely, all users can wish to develop such device at both hands.

If it is fast that the text input speed of pocket telephone can be resembled the text input speed of a last PC, then can enlarge the demand of leap such as business liaison.

At present, have on the pocket telephone of this class text button or the PDA machine market and do not see sale as yet.Present situation is, and is only as general technical merit, open by following patent gazette:

Yet, no matter be the sort of technology, all be that trial is provided with about 5 keys in the side, use 5 singlehanded fingers to improve text input speed, perhaps because in process information, it is less that the number of portable phone machine face key has been subjected to the restriction ratio on the space, and just attempt to enlarge the function of positive about 12 keys by about 4 collateral key of side is set.

There are many publications to attempt, only reach and but can improve the purpose of the text input speed of pocket telephone, but can obtain obvious effects without any one with positive about 12 keys by on software, working hard.

In the reality as yet the reason of not general list marketing be that these are provided with the text input speed of the pocket telephone of side key or side collateral key, clearly surpass the present commercially available prod that keyboard is set in the front.

Disclose among the noticeable JP2000-244623 of being with keyboard in addition, the product that pocket telephone and JIS keyboard link together, become best-selling goods by cable.

JP2000-27653 attempts by the little finger of two hands being fixed to the technology that grips machine on the PDA machine.How difficult the literal input that these publications have all been described present pocket telephone has.

Summary of the invention

These present technology both hands also of no use grip the pocket telephone body, make the thinking of bimanual 10 finger input characters, not from only breaking away from the imagination with one-handed performance.Make bimanual 10 fingers because they do not notice, text input speed can rapidly be accelerated.If on the available small portable telephone set that is hold by one hand of listing recently bimanual 10 finger input characters, then need in which way hand be configured on which kind of position kind time under this respect.

Before this, at first should expect in pocket telephone, using simultaneously 10 fingers.

Further, also do not recognize the following function of finger: if with the hands grip pocket telephone, a plurality of keys (key more than 6 is distinguished and pushed to thumb) more than 2 can be distinguished and push to each finger in 10 fingers.This be because, if be hold by one hand pocket telephone, with the finger presses key of this hand that grips, distinguish and push with forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, little finger along the finger length direction key of front and back more than 2 arranged side by side, be unpractical.But, by further developing, finding between key and key, to be provided with the frame that highly is higher than key, can keep under the state that is hold by one hand, allow forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, little finger distinguish and to push along the finger length direction key of front and back more than 2 arranged side by side.

Further, if with the hands grip pocket telephone, make the words of bimanual 10 fingers, (finger movement than another hand is flexible owing to strong hand, can make that hand of more trickleer operation) can carry out more trickleer operation, therefore, about the equipment position of the input device of the pocket telephone that the input device of also having noticed the pocket telephone that right-handed person is used and left-handed person are used is different, is difficult to the problem of the same kind of use.Find also that in addition left-handed person can be by using the employed pocket telephone of right-handed person, the finger of the training right hand moves more neatly, can be enough to fully use the employed pocket telephone of right-handed person.

Because pocket telephone is from the function of telephone set, so although increased mail function, still do not free from the thinking of one-handed performance at the beginning.People do not notice, with pocket telephone input mail article the time, in fact both hands situation about can freely use accounts for most.Perhaps perhaps be to think: if with the hands grip pocket telephone, the finger of left hand and the finger of the right hand can be overlapping at the same position on pocket telephone surface, push that 10 keys?

The present invention is conceived to situation with pocket telephone input mail article and occurs in the user mostly and be in the state that is sitting in waiting room, the car, on the seat down or standing etc. and can make under the bimanual state, thereby has solved the problems referred to above.

Figure 17 is a pocket telephone of the present invention, be can with the hands grip, pocket telephone that bimanual finger carries out literal input, especially, it has been considered when with the hands gripping pocket telephone, each finger in 10 fingers can be distinguished this function of the finger of a plurality of keys (thumb is 6 above keys) of pushing more than 2, has developed the input device of this pocket telephone in view of the above.

Grouping key on two narrower faces of the width that comprises the longest edge line with pocket telephone body of rectangular shape roughly, with the hands pocket telephone is clamped in when gripping between thumb and all the other 4 fingers simultaneously, the stress minimum that the pushing force of two sides key and counter-force cause is the structure that is easy to grip pocket telephone and is very easy to pressing key.

In addition, grip pocket telephone mutually before and after the right hand and the left hand with staggering,, therefore, can push more key owing to being places 10 fingers on whole of pocket telephone side very effectively if allow.

In addition, grouping key on two narrower faces of the width that comprises the longest edge line with pocket telephone body of rectangular shape roughly can omit and be arranged on positive keyboard in the past.Therefore, can enlarge positive display area, can increase and have a look at the quantity of information that can confirm, this is very important advantage.Under the situation of folder-type portable telephone set, can use as display area with the keypad portion area of certain lower body.

Further, Figure 21 is a pocket telephone of the present invention a type, is the pocket telephone that right-handed person and left-handed person can be used.

Pocket telephone shown in Figure 17,8 row, 2 row of the navigation key 82 that is amounted to 18 keys, right flank key by 9 row, 2 row of mutual approaching key 83-1, the 83-2 of left surface and approaching mutually key 91-1,91-2 amount to that set power switch 10, various mode selector switch 11 and navigation key 12 constitutes on the literal input control key 37 of 16 keys, portable phone machine face and the existing pocket telephone.

Figure 18 is for 10 fingers of two hands sketch map during input characters on pocket telephone shown in Figure 17.

The figure shows right-handed person.This is because need need bear navigation key 82 and shift 91-1, the 91-2 of more trickleer work with the right-hand operated of flexible movements.

As shown in figure 18, the navigation key 82 of right flank and 6 key 91-1,91-2,92-1,92-2,93-1,93-2 are responsible for by the thumb of the right hand; 4 key 83-1,83-2 of left surface key, 84-1,84-2 are responsible for by the forefinger of the right hand; Key 85-1,85-2 are responsible for by right hand middle finger; Key 86-1,86-2 are responsible for by the third finger of the right hand; Key 87-1,87-2 are responsible for by the little finger of the right hand.

6 key 88-1,88-2 of left surface, 89-1,89-2,90-1,90-2 are responsible for by the thumb of left hand, 4 key 94-1,94-2 of right flank key, 95-1,95-2 are responsible for by the forefinger of left hand, key 96-1,96-2 are responsible for by the middle finger of left hand, key 97-1,97-2 are responsible for by the third finger of left hand, and key 98-1,98-2 are responsible for by the little finger of left hand.

As shown in Figure 3 in the past, only use singlehanded thumb operation identical with display screen towards the plane on 12 keys the time, for example under the situation of 26 letters of English, with responsible 3 letters of a key.As shown in Figure 1, in the time of importing capitalization " C ", must push the key 17-1 of 3 times " A " continuously.In addition, in the time will importing lowercase " c ", must push the key 17-1 of 6 times " A " continuously, perhaps, after must being used to import the mode selector switch of lowercase with the thumb switching, push the key 17-1 of 3 times " A " continuously.After this, in the time of importing other capitalizations, must push mode selector switch once more, turn back to original operation.

Relative therewith, when input capitalization " C ", as shown in figure 18, under the state of the key 91-2 that pushes Figure 17 right flank with right hand thumb, the key 84-1 that pushes 1 left surface is just passable among the present invention.In addition, under the situation of input lowercase " c ", do not push at right hand thumb under the state of any key, the key 84-1 that only pushes 1 left surface is just passable.

Outstanding especially feature of the present invention is, need not switch the key that the right hand thumb of right flank is responsible for, and just can therefore, can import any one letter in 26 letters with 26 keys of all the other 9 finger presses.

The switching of the key that the right hand thumb of right flank is responsible for only has capitalization and lowercase and numeric character function 3 types.Here, under the state of right hand thumb pressing key 91-1, can the input digit sign function.

Be mixed with in input under the situation of English of numeral, do not push at right hand thumb under the state of any key, by difference and to push these 2 keys of 2 keys (key 91-1,92-2) just passable.

For three kinds of states is lowercase and capitalization and numeric character function, can not push any key, pushes the 91-1 key, push any one in the 91-2 key for right hand thumb by software distribution.

Lowercase is because lowercase is different because of user's action with the frequency of utilization of capitalization and numeric character function, so, can design software, so that the setting that the user carries out separately with various mode keys 11.

If the user sets when first the use, then needn't change continually.

Need not switch key that the right hand thumb of right flank is responsible for and can import these characteristics of English 26 letters, with Roman capitals input method input Japanese the time, more can demonstrate its revolutionary advantage.This is, because the Roman capitals input method of Japanese is not used 7 literal of " C ", " F ", " J ", " L ", " Q ", " V ", " X " in the letter, only can carry out the input of " kana text " of Japanese with 19 letters, thereby, these 7 literal branches that are left can be equipped with in the Japanese commonly used ", ", ".", the set key of " RET ", " DEL ", " space ", " Backspace " or special character etc.So, can under situation, continue to import whole " hiragana " continuously, and the thumb of the right hand can reside in navigation key, is responsible for " Chinese character " conversion specially, reaches the purpose of quick input characters not according to the die pressing type switch key.

Further,, key 92-1,92-2 are used as shift,, can directly import even 51 sounds of Japanese do not need to use the Roman capitals input yet by various mode key 11 change patterns.Like this, no matter English or Japanese, so long as can be with any language of other 26 alphabetic literals or other 26 word conversion, the present invention is suitable for.

Under alphabetical situation, because capitalization key and lower case are same keys, so finger is study especially easily, can grasp in the shortest time and implement touch system on pocket telephone.

Utilize the present invention, text input speed is compared fast about 20 times with the singlehanded key configuration of only using thumb.

Certainly, when only making a phone call, push at right-handed thumb under the state of 91-1 with the pocket telephone dialing, as shown in figure 17, also can be by pushing the key of another side, input digit 1,2 ..., 9,0.

Pushing with right hand thumb under the state of 91-1, all the other 16 keys can be assigned as English necessary mark of input or functions such as " Backspace ", " DEL ", " ENT ", ". ", ", ".

When both hands used input English, key 92-1, the 92-2 of right flank, 93-1,93-2 were unwanted key.Therefore, these keys can omit, and also can be assigned as " Backspace ", " DEL ", " ENT ", ". ", ", " etc., are used to improve English input speed.

But, because full-shape and half-angle, the full-shape of mark and 7 types altogether of half-angle of the full-shape that " hiragana ", " katakana " arranged in Japanese and half-angle, numeral, therefore, key 92-1,92-2,93-1,93-2 can import more apace if use as mode switching key.

When left-handed person is used, can utilize the pocket telephone that the whole left and right symmetricallies of the input device of the left and right side of Figure 17 are provided with, as long as switch the right hand and left hand as shown in figure 18.Become the situation of left-handed thumb operation navigation key 82.Even left-handed person also can use the hand identical with right-handed person to use pocket telephone shown in Figure 17, so that it gets used to right-handed finger.

Making under the bimanual state, then become using method shown in Figure 180.Being in when haveing no alternative but to use singlehanded state (holding the state of electric car suspension ring etc.),, can switch to singlehanded pattern by pushing literal input control key 37.Auxiliary using method when this using method is only inconvenient.

In the future, become general knowledge, also can not need singlehanded pattern if with the hands on pocket telephone, import the mail article.

Under situation about using as just telephone set, also can be designed to enabled mode key 11 and carry out the form of mode initialization, 10 keys of 9 row, the 1 row keys (key 83-2,84-2,85-2,86-2,87-2,88-2,89-2,90-2,99-2) that 10 numerals are distributed to the left surface key and the key 91-1 of right flank or 8 row, the 1 row keys (key 83-2,84-2,85-2,86-2,87-2,88-2,89-2,90-2) and the key 91-1 of right flank and 10 keys of 91-2 of left surface key, make in this way, only just can make a phone call with singlehanded.

But, recently with pocket telephone storer keeping the other side's telephone number, more more with the situation that navigation key 12 selects numbers to make a phone call, and it is just considerably less only to push the operation of telephone number as telephone set, even can think the time of having spent 2,3 seconds, do not have any inconvenience yet.

Figure 19 is the synoptic diagram that uses the pocket telephone of Figure 17 under singlehanded pattern of the present invention.

Here alleged singlehanded pattern is meant that navigation key 82 and 8 key 91-1,91-2,92-1,92-2,93-1,93-2,94-1, the 94-2 of 8 key 87-1,87-2,88-1,88-2,90-1,90-2,99-1,99-2 and right flanks of left surface key obtain literal input control, and 8 key 95-1,95-2 of 10 key 83-1,83-2,84-1,84-2,85-1,85-2,86-1,86-2,89-1,89-2 and right flanks of remaining left surface, 96-1,96-2,97-1,97-2,98-1,98-2 all are invalid pattern.Why each is responsible for 2 keys to the key of left surface by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, little finger respectively, be because, gripping pocket telephone with the right hand and when this state carries out input operation, if utilize the mechanism that makes frame height between key and the key be higher than the height of key shown in Figure 30, then can distinguish 2 keys and push with these 4 fingers.The thumb of the right hand is owing to carrying out trickle difference, so be responsible for more key.Even under singlehanded pattern, compare with the key configuration of only using thumb of one hand, estimate that conservatively its text input speed also can about soon 4 times.

Literal input control key 37 possesses this function and get final product, also can also replace with following manner with other mode switching key 11 displacements, promptly pushes simultaneously and determines good a plurality of keys, or push definite key well with the time of a fixed length.

The section X-X of Figure 30 represents is that the present invention reaches the zero defect input characters and the innovation that realizes on adjacent key.

Shown in the section X-X is to be provided with the frame that highly is higher than key between adjacent key.This is a frame of placing finger in order to bear the counter-force of the pushing force due to the opposite sides key operation with finger.When being placed on finger on the frame,, therefore,, can not push unwanted key mistakenly even the finger on the frame bears the counter-force of the key operation power of opposite sides because the height of frame is higher than the height of key yet.Finger need not move from placing the position on the frame, just can push any one of adjacent key.

In addition, owing to be, therefore,,, be provided with the identifiable projection of sense of touch by finger on the surface of the frame ad-hoc location shown in the bullet 207 of Figure 30 for the original position of confirming to point by the touch system input.

In addition because by touch system input, therefore, for the original position of confirming to point, shown in the Y view of Figure 30 like that, on the surface of frame 202, be provided with the groove 206 that finger can be put at least in the original position of 10 fingers.By means of the sense of touch of 10 fingers of user, can the perception groove and 10 fingers are induced to the original position.

In addition, Figure 30 is the invention that distributes letter on the portable phone switch of Figure 17.Pocket telephone in the past is owing to distribute 26 alphabetic literals on 12 keys, so text input speed is very slow.On the other hand, PC is the qwerty keyboard that is divided into upper, middle and lower 4 row.

Though qwerty keyboard worldwide uses,, do not consider frequency, the caused hand fatigue of finger displacement that literal occurs, right-hand man's intersection is touched the comfortable beat of keystroke when beating article; The factor of the aspects such as mutual coupling of the West literal and Japan's literal frequency of occurrences.

The key of pocket telephone in the past be singlehanded finger usefulness, the configurations of 2 row side by side, just can not import the device of 26 any literal in the alphabetic literal by the push action that makes bimanual whole 10 fingers only carry out 1 key, the present invention has remedied the defective of keyboard existence in the past in the past.In the English, the frequency that literal occurs is the order of ETAOINSRHLDCUMFPGWYBVKXJQZ, the tendency that generally exists vowel UIEOA to occur between other consonants.Relative therewith, the frequency that the Japanese Chinese words occurs is the order of IOAUNKTESRYHMGDZWBP.The obvious characteristic of Japan's literal is that vowel UIEOA and consonant alternately occur.The literal UIEOA that Figure 30 is high with the West and Japan literal frequency of occurrences becomes 1 to be listed as with RHTNS side by side, is able to minimal finger in the hope of forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, little finger with two hands and moves and push, and has shortened finger displacement.

In addition, disposed literal based on the consideration of pointing the burden of access times with the order assignment of forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, little finger.In addition, considered that not only right-hand man's finger alternately touches the comfortable beat of keystroke, the literal frequency of occurrences and the structure in the West, but also considered the frequency of occurrences and the structure of Japan's literal, therefore, can in global speech range, use.

In Figure 44, the numeral 1,2 ..., 10 literal of 9,0 are configured in the position that vision is awared easily.

In addition, as shown in figure 30, in letter pocket telephone arranged side by side, when pushing shift, with the letter r key be assigned as the numeral 1, the G key be assigned as the numeral 2, the H key be assigned as the numeral 3, the M key be assigned as the numeral 4, the T key be assigned as the numeral 5, the F key be assigned as the numeral 6, the N key be assigned as the numeral 7, the Y key be assigned as the numeral 8, the S key be assigned as the numeral 9, the B key be assigned as the numeral 0.Like this, only with the finger of operation shift this side's single hand, just can push telephone number etc. numeral 1,2 ..., 9,0 whole, therefore be very convenient, effectively.

In the pocket telephone of Figure 17, in order to guide the input characters corresponding with key, the body front at pocket telephone is indicating the input characters corresponding with key with lettering all the time.Be convenient to the literal input of pocket telephone of the present invention or small-sized PDA machine like this.Input characters during the one hand pattern is different with common situation, so indicated with the lettering of different colours.

Figure 18 and Figure 19 in the pocket telephone of Figure 17 in order to guide input characters corresponding to the state of the selected key of thumb, on the display screen of pocket telephone, demonstrated input characters corresponding to the selected key of thumb.For example, under the represented state of Figure 18, when pushing the uppermost key 83-1 of left surface, can the uppermost left side of input panel literal " A ".When if thumb is selected another key, with it accordingly, content shown on the display screen also can change.The example of pocket telephone shown in Figure 19, owing to be singlehanded pattern, the bond number of left surface is 4, so demonstrate 4 literal on display screen.No matter any, all can on the small display screen of pocket telephone, apply flexibly the guide that key is imported effectively.

Fig. 4 be with the hands grip, the examples of pocket telephone of bimanual 10 finger input characters.

Constitute by following parts: body 01; Display screen 02; Antenna 03; Receiver 04; Transmitter 05; 5 keys 23,24,25,26,30 of left surface key; 3 groups of key 27-1,27-2 of the small-sized key of left surface, 28-1,28-2,29-1,29-2; 4 keys 31,32,33,34 of right flank key; 3 groups of key 20-1,20-2 of the small-sized key of right flank, 21-1,21-2,22-1,22-2; 4 direction navigation operation bars 19; Various mode selector switch 35,36; The literal of portable phone machine face input control switch 37, the finger resting guard of partly representing with oblique line 38 and the power switch 10 that in the past just had on the pocket telephone; Various mode selector switch 11; 4 direction navigation operation bars 12; 12 text buttons 17.

Fig. 5 is the overview of the process of bimanual 10 finger input characters in the pocket telephone of Fig. 4.

Fig. 5 shows right-handed person.

Whole key, small-sized key, 4 direction navigation operation bars and various mode selector switch left and right symmetricallies is provided with about the pocket telephone handle of Fig. 4, in this case, is the pocket telephone that left-handed person is used.

As shown in Figure 5,19,3 groups of small-sized key 20-1 of 4 direction navigation operation bars, 20-2,21-1,21-2,22-1,22-2 and the various mode selector switch 35,36 of right flank are responsible for by the thumb of the right hand; 4 keys 23,24,25,26 of left surface key are responsible for by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, the little finger of the right hand respectively.

3 groups of small-sized key 27-1 of left surface, 27-2,28-1,28-2,29-1,29-2 are responsible for by the thumb of left hand, and 4 keys 31,32,33,34 of right flank key are responsible for by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, the little finger of left hand respectively.

Because key 20-1 and 20-2 are approaching, so comprise and push 1 key and the state of pushing 2 keys simultaneously respectively, can select 3 kinds, can constitute 3 kinds respectively with identical key 21-1 and 21-2,22-1 and 22-2,27-1 and 27-2,28-1 and 28-2,29-1 and 29-2, therefore, select to amount to 18 kinds with 6 groups of small-sized bond energys.In this state, all the other 9 fingers all are in the state that can be used to push other keys, therefore, if another thumb of all the other fingers be responsible for 3 keys (because of thumb more flexible than other finger movements), then can import 18 kinds 11 times, i.e. 198 literal.Further, do not push any one state of 6 groups of small-sized keys, can push 8 keys, therefore, can input amount to 206 literal (kind) (under the state of the key 20-1 that pushes right flank, even push the 27-1 of left surface and any one of 27-2, also only as a literal calculating.28,29 is same.Why calculate as a literal, this be because right flank mutually approaching arrow key be used for implementing trickle operation, therefore, be arranged to not pay particular attention to left surface also can form).

The a little higher than framework of finger resting guard that oblique line is represented is the place of the placement finger that is provided with for the counter-force of the pushing force due to the key operation that bears opposite sides.Be processed into the face that finger is difficult for slip, can not push does not mistakenly need key.Have groove etc. and can realize function finger locating.

4 direction navigation operation bars 19 of right flank mainly are responsible for allowing the cursor on the display screen 02 descend the work of move left and right up, still, also can be assigned as when the input kanji from " hiragana " to the conversion of " Chinese character ", " katakana " etc.Mode selector switch 35 can be used for the switching between English and the native language (be " hiragana ", be " Chinese character ", be " Korea's alphabetic literal ") under Korean under Chinese under Japanese, key 36 is responsible for the switching between full-shapes and the half-angle, also can be used for the switching of " katakana " etc. under Japanese.If make switch 35 have changeable 2 kinds of patterns, make switch 36 have the function of changeable 3 kinds of patterns, then can switch 6 kinds of patterns altogether.206 literal be can produce and 6 kinds, i.e. 1236 literal (kind) multiply by.

These 1236 literal might not be fixed as literal.Also can be used as " space bar ", also can be assigned as " DELETE " (delete key).If the representative key that special token is gathered be appointed as in one of them literal, then import a specific literal, follow repeatable operation 4 direction navigation operation bars 19 then, whereby, an optional majority special token.Even mode selector switch 35,36 is set at necessarily, also can import 206 literal altogether, therefore, when literal is imported, can't use this switch continually.So, can be arranged on the place of leaving the resident position of right hand thumb a little, the displacement of thumb bigger a little do not have greatly yet and hinder.

Fig. 6 is the synoptic diagram of an example of combination and output number of the enter key of expression relative Fig. 4 bond number of the present invention.By adopting this form, under the situation of the general article (comprising numeral) of only importing English, because the combination of input is very many, so, do not need to use mode selector switch.

Under the situation of the general article of importing Japanese, owing to comprise full-shape and half-angle, the full-shape of " numeral " and the full-shape and the half-angle of half-angle and " English " of " hiragana ", " Chinese character ", " katakana ", so, need two kinds of mode switch when all handling.If when importing Roman capitals input method (with the method for letter input " hiragana "), owing to can increase the literal number that can import with 1 pattern, so the frequency of mode switch is very little.Because how reasonably key to be distributed in literal is not purpose of the present invention with the switching times that reduces mode selector switch, at this, only is illustrated importing how many input characters numbers.

Like this, be responsible for the key configuration of key by 10 all fingers with the hands, can be only with once moving (under the state that thumb is pushed, other finger presses are once) 206 literal of input, through training, can reach with office in employed table go up the suitable text input speed of notebook personal computer.

Text input speed is compared with the singlehanded key configuration of only using thumb, even conservatively estimate, and also can be about soon 8 times.

Fig. 7 is the front view (FV) of input device of folder-type portable telephone set of the present invention that keeps the configuration of Fig. 4 key.

The literal of Fig. 4 input control switch 37 is the switches that can switch 3 kinds of patterns when continuing to push.Make under the bimanual state, be using method shown in Figure 5.Under the state that can only use one hand etc. (holding under the state of electric car suspension ring), push a switch and just can switch to singlehanded pattern.If push again once, just can use identical with the display screen that just has 02 in the past the pocket telephone towards 12,12 text buttons 17 of various mode selector switch 11,4 direction navigation operation bars, also invalid even push the key of two sides this moment.

Here alleged singlehanded pattern is meant 4 keys 26,27,29,30 of left surface key, 4 direction navigation operation bars 19 of right flank, 3 groups of small-sized key 20-1,20-2,21-1,21-2,22-1,22-2, and various mode selector switch 35,36 obtain literal input control and remaining left surface key 23,24,25, small-sized key 28-1,28-2, and right flank key 31,32,33,34 all becomes invalid pattern.Certainly 12 positive text buttons 17 are also invalid.In this case, though pressing key 27-1 and 27-2 either party or push both sides, all only import a literal, key 29 too.This is because middle finger is imported operation with the nameless trickle difference that can't carry out key 27-1 and 27-2 etc.

Fig. 8 is the synoptic diagram that uses the pocket telephone of Fig. 4 with singlehanded pattern of the present invention.In this manner, by using literal input control switch 37, can be according to user's both hands state or preference with 3 kinds of mode switch.Get used to the user of the literal input mode of machine in the past can use on one side just have in the pocket telephone in the past identical with display screen 02 towards 12 text buttons 17, Yi Bian training makes with the hands all fingers or singlehanded pattern gradually.

Certainly, also can produce omitted singlehanded pattern or do not have in the past the front text button, 3 patterns are become the only economical pocket telephone of 2 patterns.Under the situation of singlehanded pattern, with 9 kinds of 3 groups of small-sized key 20-1 of right flank, 20-2,21-1,21-2,22-1,22-2 meter, add that a kind that what all need not push amounts to 10 kinds, because the key of left surface is 4, so, can import 10 kinds and multiply by 4 and promptly amount to 40 literal.

Fig. 9 is with respect to the combination of the enter key of bond number and the synoptic diagram of an example of output number under the situation of the pocket telephone that uses Fig. 4 with singlehanded pattern.

In the pocket telephone of Fig. 4,,, represent the input characters corresponding with lettering all the time with key in the body front of pocket telephone in order to guide the input characters corresponding with key.Be convenient to the input characters of pocket telephone of the present invention or small-sized PDA machine like this.

Fig. 5 and Fig. 8 show in order to guide the input characters corresponding to mode selector switch and the selected bonded state of thumb in the pocket telephone of Fig. 4, demonstrate the input characters corresponding to the selected key of thumb on the display screen of pocket telephone.For example, under the represented state of Fig. 5, when pushing the uppermost key 23 of left surface, can the uppermost left side of input panel literal " A ".If thumb is selected another key, word content shown on the display screen changes thereupon.

The example of pocket telephone shown in Figure 8 is singlehanded pattern, and the bond number of left surface is 4, so demonstrate 4 literal on display screen.In the small display screen of pocket telephone, can apply flexibly the guide of key input effectively.

Embodiment 2

Figure 10 be of the present inventionly can with the hands grip, bimanual finger carries out the literal input, an example of the pocket telephone that also can use under singlehanded pattern, the setting of its bond number is adapted at using in the English circle.

It is made of following parts: body 01; Display screen 02; Antenna 03; Receiver 04; Transmitter 05; 9 keys 23,24,25,26,27,28,29,39,30 of left surface key; 6 key 20-1,20-2 of right flank key, 21-1,21-2,22-1,22-2 and 4 keys 31,32,33,34; 4 direction navigation operation bars 19; The literal of portable phone machine face input control switch 37, the finger resting guard of partly representing with oblique line 38 and power switch 10, various mode selector switch 11,4 direction navigation operation bars 12 and 12 text buttons 17 of just having on the pocket telephone in the past.

The pocket telephone of Figure 10 can use the overview essentially identical mode of bimanual 10 fingers during input characters in pocket telephone with Fig. 5 to grip.

Figure 10 shows the pocket telephone that right-handed person is used.

When the whole input media left and right symmetricallies about the pocket telephone of Figure 10 are equipped with, can become the pocket telephone that left-handed person is used.

Among Figure 10,19,6 small-sized key 20-1 of 4 direction navigation operation bars of right flank, 20-2,21-1,21-2,22-1,22-2 are responsible for by the thumb of the right hand; 4 keys 23,24,25,26 of left surface key are responsible for by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, the little finger of the right hand respectively.5 keys 27,28,29,39,30 of left surface are responsible for by the thumb of left hand; 4 keys 31,32,33,34 of right flank key are responsible for by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, the little finger of left hand respectively.

Under the state of pushing small-sized key 20-1, available all the other 9 fingers are selected 13 literal from lowercase " a " to " m ", and under the state of pushing small-sized key 20-2, available all the other 9 fingers are selected 13 literal from lowercase " n " to " z ".

Then, under the state of pressing key 21-1,21-2, can select from 26 literal of capitalization " A " to " Z ".

Not pushing small-sized key 20-1 under the state of any one key of 22-2, can arrive 1 ... 9,0 10 numerals are distributed to 13 keys.All the other 3 keys can be assigned as ". ", ", ", " space " key etc.Can import 65 literal (kind) altogether, therefore, be convenient to the user's input characters in the English circle.

Use remaining small-sized key 22-1,22-2, can also import 26 literal (kind) altogether, therefore can be used for special token etc.

This is that thumb to left hand applies burden, makes it be responsible for 5 keys, reduces the kind of the key that right hand thumb selects, effectively 1 example of English 26 letters of configuration and 10 numerals.

If the key that right hand thumb is selected increases to 6 kinds, then the key that the left hand thumb can be responsible for is reduced to same 3 with Fig. 4, can import 6 kinds 11 times, i.e. 66 literal, keeps same function.Even in this case,, can carry out 4 kinds 11 times, i.e. the literal input of 44 literal owing to also have remaining 4 kinds.

4 direction navigation operation bars 19, literal input control switch 37, the finger resting guard of representing with oblique line 38 are all identical with Fig. 4 on using method, function, structure.

In Figure 10, so-called singlehanded pattern is meant, 5 keys 25,26,27,29,30 of left surface key, 4 direction navigation operation bars 19 of right flank and 6 small-sized key 20-1,20-2,21-1,21-2,22-1,22-2 obtain literal input control, and the key 31,32,33,34 of the key 23,24,28,39 of remaining left surface and right flank all is invalid pattern.Certainly, Zheng Mian 12 text buttons 17 are also invalid.

The gripping method of the singlehanded pattern of Figure 10 is identical with the graphic technique of the use pocket telephone of Fig. 8.Under the situation of singlehanded pattern, owing to can push each among 6 the small-sized key 20-1,20-2,21-1,21-2,22-1,22-2 on right side respectively and push close key 20-1,20-2 simultaneously, and, key 21, key 22 can adopt the push mode same with key 20, therefore can obtain 9 kinds, add a kind of that what does not push and amount to 10 kinds, because the key of left surface is 4, so 4 times that can import 10 kinds promptly amount to 40 literal.

If the key 25 of left surface only is designed to have mode switch function when the singlehanded pattern, then can import 80 literal, therefore, 56 literal of 26 capitalizations of English alphabet and lowercase add 10 numeric literals, amount to 66 literal.If all the other 14 literal are assigned as special token, even then under singlehanded pattern, also very convenient user's input characters of English circle.The key 25 of left surface is by the forefinger operation of the mobile right hand.

Adopt key configuration of the present invention, when both hands use, if make bimanual 10 whole fingers, only carry out the switching of a mode switching key, just can use 26 alphabetic literals of remaining 9 finger inputs, therefore, compare, can increase text input speed with the situation of a thumb of in the past one hand.And, in case after the custom, the present invention with compare with the situation of a thumb, can shorten widely train can touch system spends time.

If can touch system, text input speed can further improve.

According to the present invention, the text input speed of pocket telephone can be equal to the text input speed of notebook computer on the table, with the new revolutionary field of opening up as the means of communication of pocket telephone.According to the present invention, with the hands grip, bimanual all fingers operation and can only use one hand the time, with be hold by one hand, with the text input speed of the pocket telephone of the finger manipulation of the same hand far away faster than the text input speed of pocket telephone in the past, therefore, can be the user great facility is provided.

Figure 11 be of the present inventionly can with the hands grip, the pocket telephones of bimanual 10 finger input characters, can be used for left-handed person and right-handed person, also can reach the synoptic diagram of an example that uses under the singlehanded pattern of the right hand leftward.

Constitute by following parts: body 01; Display screen 02; Antenna 03; Receiver 04; Transmitter 05; 14 keys 52,53 of left surface key, 54-1,54-2,55-1,55-2,56-1,56-2,57,58,59,60,61,62 and 4 direction navigation operation bars 40; 14 keys 41,42 of right flank key, 43-1,43-2,44-1,44-2,45-1,45-2,46,47,48,49,50,51,4 direction navigation operation bars 39; The finger resting guard of partly representing with oblique line 38; The literal of portable phone machine face input control switch 37 and the power switch 10, various mode selector switch 11 and the 4 direction navigation operation bars 12 that just had on the pocket telephone in the past.

Figure 12 is the overview of bimanual 10 fingers during input characters in the pocket telephone of Figure 11.

The figure shows right-handed person.

As shown in figure 12,4 direction navigation operation bars 39,6 key 43-1,43-2,44-1,44-2,45-1,45-2 and the key 41,42 of right flank, various mode selector switch 46 are responsible for by the thumb of the right hand; 4 keys 52,53 of left surface key, 54-2,56-2 are responsible for by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, the little finger of the right hand respectively.

3 keys 58,59,60 of left surface are responsible for by the thumb of left hand; 4 keys 47,49,50,51 of right flank key are responsible for by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, the little finger of left hand respectively.

Use at righthanded under the situation of 10 fingers, the key 48 of 4 direction navigation operation bars 40 of left surface, key 54-1,55-1,55-2,56-1,57,61,62, right flank is invalid.

When desire was imported capitalization " C " in Figure 11, as shown in figure 12, under the state of the right flank key 43-1 that pushes Figure 11 with thumb, the key 54-2 that only pushes a left surface was just passable.

In addition, during desire input lowercase " c ", under the state with thumb pressing key 44-1, the key 54-2 that only pushes a left surface is just passable.

Utilize the present invention, compare with the key configuration of only using thumb of one hand, even conservatively estimate, its text input speed is also wanted fast about 8 times.

Certainly, when just on pocket telephone, pushing telephone number and making a phone call, also can use the side key.

Under the state that can both hands uses, can use using method shown in Figure 12.Under the state that can only use (holding the state of electric car suspension ring etc.),, can switch under the singlehanded pattern by push switch 37 with one hand.

Figure 13 is the synoptic diagram that uses the pocket telephone of Figure 11 under singlehanded pattern of the present invention.

The figure shows right-handed person.

Here, the singlehanded pattern of the so-called right hand is meant, 4 keys 57,58,60,61 of left surface key, 4 direction navigation operation bars 39 of right flank and 6 key 43-1,43-2,44-1,44-2,45-1,45-2, key 41,42,46 (becoming various mode selector switch) obtains literal input control, and key 52,53, the 4 direction navigation operation bars 40 of all the other left surfaces, key 54-1,54-2,55-1,55-2,56-1,56-2,59,62 and the key 47,48,49,50,51 of right flank all be invalid pattern.

Even singlehanded pattern is compared with the key configuration of only using thumb of one hand, even conservatively estimate, also fast about 4 times of its text input speeds.

No matter it is all spendable form of right-handed person or left-handed person that pocket telephone shown in Figure 11 is designed to.

By continuing to push literal input control switch 37, can righthanded use 10 fingers, lefthandeds of two hands use 10 fingers of two hands, only make right-handed 5 fingers, only in 4 types of sinistral 5 fingers, switch literal input control.

The employed key of left-handed person is the key of the symmetric position of righthanded key of saying above and 4 direction navigation operation bars and 4 direction navigation operation bars.

As shown in figure 12, bimanual 10 fingers are during input characters in pocket telephone, because key 43-1 and 43-2 are approaching, but push the state of one of them key and the state of pushing 2 keys simultaneously respectively so comprise the thumb of the right hand, can select 3 kinds, same, key 44-1 and 44-2,45-1 and 45-2 can constitute 3 kinds respectively, so, select to amount to 9 kinds with 6 bond energys.Add what state of not pushing of thumb of the right hand, then can obtain 10 kinds altogether.In this state because all the other 9 fingers all are in the state that can be used to push other keys, therefore, if another thumb of all the other fingers be responsible for 3 keys (because of thumb more flexible than other finger movements), then can import 10 kinds 11 times, i.e. 110 literal.

If key 41,42 is assigned as mode selector switch, key 41 changeable 2 kinds of patterns then, key 42 changeable 3 kinds of patterns amount to changeable 6 kinds of patterns, and therefore, maximum can be imported 660 literal.

The finger resting guard 38 a little higher than frameworks that oblique line is represented are born the counter-force of the pushing force due to the opposite sides key operation, are the places of placing finger.Be processed into the face that finger is difficult for slip, can not push does not mistakenly like this need key.Have groove etc. and can realize function finger locating.

4 direction navigation operation bars 39 of right flank mainly are responsible for allowing the cursor on the display screen 02 descend the work of move left and right up, still, also can be assigned as when the input kanji from " hiragana " to the conversion of " Chinese character ", " katakana " etc.Also in 660 literal can be assigned as " space bar " or be assigned as " DELETE " (delete key).If the representative key that special token is gathered be appointed as in one of them literal, then import a specific literal, by ongoing operation 4 direction navigation operation bars 39, can select a plurality of special tokens then.

Thus, be responsible for the key configuration of key by 10 all fingers with the hands, single job promptly can be (under the state that thumb is pushed, other finger presses are once) 110 literal of input, thereby, through training, the table that uses in promptly can office is gone up the suitable speed input characters of notebook personal computer.

The singlehanded pattern of the right hand as shown in figure 13, right-handed respectively forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, little finger are responsible for 4 keys 57,58,60,61 of left surface, are responsible for 4 direction navigation operation bars 39,6 key 43-1,43-2,44-1,44-2,45-1,45-2 and the key 41,42,46 (becoming various mode selector switch) of right flank by the thumb of the right hand.

According to the mode of above-mentioned explanation, because right-handed thumb and utilize key 43-1,43-2,44-1,44-2,45-1,45-2 can obtain 10 kinds of patterns, so right-handed all the other 4 fingers can obtain 10 4 times i.e. 40 kinds of patterns.By using mode selector switch key 41,42,46, can enlarge the input characters number is 80,120,160 words.Therefore, even singlehanded pattern, also can corresponding all language.

In the pocket telephone of Figure 11,,, be convenient to the literal input of pocket telephone of the present invention so, represent the input characters corresponding with lettering all the time with key in the body front of pocket telephone in order to guide the input characters corresponding with key.

Figure 12 and Figure 13 show in order to guide the input characters corresponding to mode selector switch and the selected bonded state of thumb, the input characters corresponding to the selected key of thumb on the display screen of pocket telephone in the pocket telephone of Figure 11.For example, under the represented state of Figure 12, when pushing the top key 52 of left surface, can the uppermost left side of input panel literal " A ".When if thumb is selected another key, content shown on the display screen changes thereupon.The example of pocket telephone shown in Figure 13, owing to be the singlehanded pattern of the right hand, the bond number of left surface is 4, so demonstrate 4 literal on display screen.Can on the small display screen of pocket telephone, apply flexibly the guide of key input effectively.

Figure 17 be of the present inventionly can with the hands grip, the synoptic diagram of the example of optimised form of pocket telephone input device that bimanual finger carries out the literal input.

This device is made of following parts: body 01; Display screen 02; Antenna 03; Receiver 04; Transmitter 05; 9 row, 2 row of left surface key amount to 18 key 83-1,83-2,84-1,84-2,85-1,85-2,86-1,86-2,87-1,87-2,88-1,88-2,89-1,89-2,90-1,90-2,99-1,99-2; The navigation key 82 of right flank key and 8 row, 2 row amount to 16 key 91-1,91-2,92-1,92-2,93-1,93-2,94-1,94-2,95-1,95-2,96-1,96-2,97-1,97-2,98-1,98-2; The literal of portable phone machine face input control key 37 and the power switch 10, various mode selector switch 11 and the navigation key 12 that just had on the pocket telephone in the past.

Figure 18 is the overview of bimanual 10 fingers during input characters in the pocket telephone of Figure 17.

Figure 18 also shows with the hands and grips, 10 fingers of both hands are placed the general survey situation in the original position of input device.

The figure shows right-handed person.

As shown in figure 18, the navigation key 82 of right flank and 6 key 91-1,91-2,92-1,92-2,93-1,93-2 are responsible for by the thumb of the right hand; 4 key 83-1,83-2 of left surface, 84-1,84-2 are responsible for by the forefinger of the right hand; Key 85-1,85-2 are responsible for by right hand middle finger; Key 86-1,86-2 are responsible for by the third finger of the right hand; Key 87-1,87-2 are responsible for by the little finger of the right hand.

6 key 88-1,88-2 of left surface, 89-1,89-2,90-1,90-2 are responsible for by the thumb of left hand, 4 key 94-1,94-2 of right flank key, 95-1,95-2 are responsible for by the forefinger of left hand, key 96-1,96-2 are responsible for by the middle finger of left hand, key 97-1,97-2 are responsible for by the third finger of left hand, and key 98-1,98-2 are responsible for respectively by the little finger of left hand.

There is not right-handed thumb to push under the state of any key, if, then can import 26 literal that lowercase " a " arrives " z " with 26 keys of remaining 9 finger presses.Then, push at right-handed thumb under the state of 91-2, if, then can import 26 literal that capitalization " A " arrives " Z " with 26 keys of remaining 9 finger presses.

Push at right-handed thumb under the state of 91-1, by pressing key 83-1,83-2,84-1,84-2,85-1,85-2,86-1,86-2,87-1,87-2, can input digit 1,2 ..., 10 numerals of 9,0.Other remaining 16 keys can also be assigned as English necessary mark of input such as " Backspace ", " DEL ", " ENT ", ". ", ", " or function.

1 literal wherein might not be fixed as literal.Also can be used as " space bar ", also can be assigned as the such function key of " DELETE " key.If the representative key that special token is gathered be appointed as in one of them literal, then import a specific literal, then by then operating navigation key 82, an optional majority special token repeatedly.

According to the present invention, owing to can the functional specification of a key on two types (letters and numeric character function), therefore, be easy to touch system.

Need not switch key that the right hand thumb of right flank is responsible for and can import these characteristics of English 26 letters, with Roman capitals input method input Japanese the time, more can demonstrate its revolutionary advantage.This be because, in the Roman capitals input method of Japanese, do not use 7 literal such as " C ", " F " in the English alphabet, " J ", " L ", " Q ", " V ", " X ", so, can import " kana text " of Japanese with 19 English alphabets, thereby, remaining 7 literal can be assigned as in the Japanese commonly used ", ", ".", the set key of " RET ", " DEL ", " space ", " Backspace " or special character etc.Like this, under situation, can continue to import continuously whole " hiragana " not according to the die pressing type switch key.The thumb of the right hand can reside in navigation key, is exclusively used in " Chinese character " conversion, therefore, and input characters fast.

Like this, no matter be English or Japanese, or other any language, as long as can carry out conversion with 26 literal of 26 English alphabets or other kinds, the present invention is suitable for.

The navigation key 82 of right flank mainly is responsible for allowing the cursor on the display screen 02 descend the work of move left and right up, still, also can be assigned as under the situation of kanji input and makes it be responsible for from " hiragana " to the conversion of " Chinese character ", " katakana " etc.

Key 92-1,92-2,93-1,93-2 can be used as the switching between English and native language (be " hiragana ", " katakana " under the Japanese, be " Chinese character " under the Chinese, be " Korea's alphabetic literal " under the Korean), and the mode switching key that also can be used as full-shape and half-angle uses.

Owing to will reasonably distribute to thumb or forefinger flexibly to the text button that frequency of utilization is high in other embodiments, in the hope of being brought up to, text input speed is described explanation the soonest, therefore, here only to capitalization, lowercase, 3 on digital function mark key are carried out big classification, the content that can import describes.

Key 99-1, the 99-2 of left surface is arranged on the most exposed to contact position of right hand little finger, so that it uses when singlehanded pattern.

When both hands use,, also can be suitable for language with 28 literal performances by literal being assigned on these 2 keys of 99-1,99-2.

Under the state that both hands use, key 92-1, the 92-2 of right flank, 93-1,93-2 are unwanted key when input English.Therefore, these keys can omit, and also can be assigned as " Backspace ", " DEL ", " ENT ", ". ", ", " etc., to improve English input speed.

But, key 92-1,92-2 have 7 kinds altogether of full-shape with the full-shape and the half-angle of half-angle, mark of the full-shape of " hiragana ", " katakana " and half-angle, numeral in Japanese, therefore, if it is used as mode switching key, then can import more quickly.

The character input method that another kind makes bimanual 10 fingers is described below.

Such method is arranged: left-handed thumb uses key 91-2,92-2 key 88-1,89-1,20 keys are used as text button with remaining 8 finger as shift as shift use, right-handed thumb.Comprise what situation of not pushing of thumb of both hands, the pattern of performing has 5 kinds.Therefore, can import 5 kinds 20 times literal, i.e. 100 literal.If the bond number that performs is increased to 6, then can import 140 literal.

Pushing under any one state of shift in addition, any one in bimanual all the other 8 fingers carried out 1 push action with this method of importing; And utilize in any one and all the other 8 fingers of both hands of shift any one to carry out 1 push action simultaneously with this method of importing.Characteristics faster when it has the fast practician of key scroll with the input of push action simultaneously.

Figure 20 is the front view (FV) of input device of folder-type portable telephone set of the present invention with key configuration of Figure 17.Utilize linkwork 14 folding.

The literal of Figure 17 input control key 37 is with the key of 2 kinds of mode switch when continuing to push.Can make under the bimanual state, become using method shown in Figure 180.Haveing no alternative but to use singlehanded state (holding the state of electric car suspension ring) etc.,, can switch to singlehanded pattern by pushing key 37 1 time.When pushing 1 time again, that just have in the pocket telephone in the past, identical with display screen 02 towards various mode selector switch 11, navigation key 12 and other be installed in positive text button etc. and enter serviceable condition, the key that push two sides this moment is also invalid.

Figure 19 is the synoptic diagram that uses the pocket telephone of Figure 17 under the singlehanded pattern of the right hand of the present invention.Figure 19 also shows the general survey situation that 5 fingers that grip, will be in this hand of gripping state with the right hand place the original position of input device all the time.

Can make under the bimanual state, become using method shown in Figure 180.When haveing no alternative but to use singlehanded state (holding the state of electric car suspension ring etc.),, can switch to singlehanded pattern by pressing key 37.This using method is the right and wrong auxiliary using method of phase often all the time.

Figure 19 is the synoptic diagram that uses the pocket telephone of Figure 17 under singlehanded pattern of the present invention.

Here alleged singlehanded pattern is meant 8 key 87-1,87-2,88-1,88-2,90-1,90-2,99-1, the 99-2 of left surface key, and the navigation key 82 of right flank and 8 key 91-1,91-2,92-1,92-2,93-1,93-2,94-1,94-2 obtain literal input control and 8 key 95-1,95-2,96-1,96-2,97-1,97-2,98-1, the 98-2 of 10 key 83-1,83-2,84-1,84-2,85-1,85-2,86-1,86-2,89-1,89-2 and right flanks of remaining left surface all are invalid pattern.Why each is responsible for 2 keys to the key of left surface by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, little finger respectively, this be because, gripping pocket telephone with the right hand and when this state is imported operation, as shown in figure 30, make the frame height between key and the key be higher than the high mechanism of key if utilize, then can and push with 4 finger 2 keys of differentiation.The thumb of the right hand is owing to carrying out trickle difference, so be responsible for more key.Even under singlehanded pattern, compare with the key configuration of only using thumb of one hand, estimate that conservatively its text input speed also can about soon 4 times.

Under the situation of singlehanded pattern, the using method of the right hand thumb on right side is, pressing key 91-1,91-2,92-1,92-2,93-1,93-2 obtain 6 kinds respectively, add that a kind that what does not push can obtain amounting to 7 kinds, because the key of left surface is 8, so 8 times that can import 7 kinds promptly amount to 56 literal.

If function only is designed to use as mode switching key with 94-1,94-2 when the singlehanded pattern,, therefore, can increases to 112 literal, 168 literal, 224 literal gradually even design very simply also can be produced 4 patterns.In general, the English that is mixed with numeral just can be imported fully with 80 literal, therefore, does not need numerous and diverse ground switch mode switch key.

In the pocket telephone of Figure 17,,, represent the input characters corresponding with lettering all the time with key in the body front of pocket telephone in order to guide the input characters corresponding with key.This is convenient to the literal input of pocket telephone of the present invention or small-sized PDA machine.

Figure 18 and Figure 19 show in order to guide the input characters corresponding to mode selector switch and the selected bonded state of thumb in the pocket telephone of Figure 17, have demonstrated the input characters corresponding to the selected key of thumb on the display screen of pocket telephone.For example, under the represented state of Figure 18, when pushing the top key 83-1 of left surface, can the uppermost left side of input panel literal " A ".When if thumb is selected another key, content shown on the display screen changes thereupon.The example of pocket telephone shown in Figure 19, owing to be singlehanded pattern, the bond number of left surface is 4, so demonstrate 4 literal on display screen.Can in the small display screen of pocket telephone, apply flexibly the guide of key input effectively.

Figure 21 be of the present inventionly can with the hands grip, the synoptic diagram of an example of pocket telephone input device that bimanual 10 fingers carry out the literal input.

This device is made of following parts: body 01; Display screen 02; Antenna 03; Receiver 04; Transmitter 05; Linkwork 14; Pivot 100; 10 row, 2 row of left surface key amount to 20 key 102-1,102-2,103-1,103-2,104-1,104-2,105-1,105-2,106-1,106-2,107-1,107-2,108-1,108-2,109-1,109-2,110-1,110-2; 111-1,111-2; The navigation key 101 of right flank key and the power key 112-1 of 4 keys, mode key 113-1,112-2, literal input control key 113-2 and 7 row, 2 row amount to 14 key 114-1,114-2; 115-1,115-2,116-1,116-2,117-1,117-2,118-1,118-2,119-1,119-2,120-1,120-2; The finger resting guard of representing with oblique line 38.

Figure 22 is the overview of bimanual 10 fingers during input characters in the pocket telephone of Figure 21.

Figure 22 also shows with the hands and grips, 10 fingers of both hands are placed the general survey situation in the original position of input device.This gripping method, because the position of hand is in physical slot, therefore, the fatigue strength in the time of reducing the user widely and operate.

During the both hands input, the right flank of Figure 21 is remained user's front.Is center from the collecting state of Figure 21 with linkwork 14 with display screen 02, and a Rotate 180 degree is that the center is revolved and turn 90 degrees with pivot 100 again, just becomes state shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22 shows right-handed person.This be since need with the operation of the right hand thumb of flexible movements be responsible for a lot of very trickle work navigation key 101, switch key 114-1 and 114-2 perform.

As shown in figure 22, the navigation key 101 in user front and 2 key 114-1,114-2 are responsible for by the thumb of the right hand; Key 102-1, the 102-2 at the back side, 103-1,103-2 are responsible for by the forefinger of the right hand for the user; Key 104-1,104-2 are responsible for by the middle finger of the right hand; Key 105-1,105-2 are responsible for by the third finger of the right hand, and key 106-1,106-2 are responsible for respectively by the little finger of the right hand.6 key 118-1, the 118-2 in user front, 119-1,119-2,120-1,120-2 are responsible for by the thumb of left hand; 4 of the back side key 107-1,107-2,108-1,108-2 are responsible for by the forefinger of left hand for the user; Key 109-1,109-2 are responsible for by the middle finger of left hand; Key 110-1,110-2 are responsible for by the third finger of left hand; Key 111-1,111-2 are responsible for respectively by the little finger of left hand.

There is not right-handed thumb to push under the state of any key, if, then can import 26 literal that lowercase " a " arrives " z " with 26 keys of remaining 9 finger presses.Then, push at right-handed thumb under the state of 114-2, if, then can import 26 literal that capitalization " A " arrives " Z " with 26 keys of remaining 9 finger presses.

Push at right-handed thumb under the state of 114-2, by pressing key 102-2,102-1,103-2,103-1,104-2,104-1,105-2,105-1,106-2,106-1, can input digit 1,2 ..., 10 numerals of 9,0.Other remaining 16 keys can also be assigned as English necessary mark of input such as " Backspace ", " DEL ", " ENT ", ". ", ", " or function.

1 literal wherein might not be fixed as literal.Also can be used as " space bar ", also can be assigned as the such function key of " DELETE " key.If the representative key that special token is gathered be appointed as in one of them literal, then import a specific literal, follow repeatable operation navigation key 101 then, can select a plurality of special tokens.

According to the present invention, because can be the functional specification of a key on two types (letters and numeric character function), therefore, it is quite simple that touch system becomes.

Need not switch key that the right hand thumb of right flank is responsible for and can import these characteristics of English 26 letters, with Roman capitals input method input Japanese the time, more can demonstrate its revolutionary advantage.This be because, in the Roman capitals input method of Japanese, do not use 7 literal such as " C ", " F " in the English alphabet, " J ", " L ", " Q ", " V ", " X ", so, can import " kana text " of Japanese with 19 English alphabets, thereby, remaining 7 literal can be assigned as in the Japanese commonly used ", ", ".", the set key of " RET ", " DEL ", " space ", " Backspace " or special character etc.Like this, under situation, can continue to import continuously whole " hiragana " not according to the die pressing type switch key.The thumb of the right hand can reside in navigation key 101, is exclusively used in " Chinese character " conversion, therefore, and input characters fast.

Like this, no matter be English or Japanese, or other any language, as long as can carry out conversion with 26 literal of 26 English alphabets or other kinds, the present invention is suitable for.

Because capitalization key and lower case are same keys, so finger is study especially easily, can grasp in the shortest time and implement touch system in pocket telephone.

Utilize the present invention, text input speed is compared fast about 20 times with the singlehanded key configuration of only using thumb.

Certainly, even if when only pushing telephone number and make a phone call with pocket telephone, push at right-handed thumb under the state of 114-1, as shown in figure 21, by pressing key 102-2,102-1,103-2,103-1,104-2,104-1,105-2,105-1,106-2,106-1, also can input digit 1,2 ..., 9,0.

When left-handed person was used, only needing replace in method shown in Figure 22, the right hand and left hand got final product.So just can use left-handed operation navigation key 101.

The navigation key 101 of right flank mainly is responsible for allowing the cursor on the display screen 02 descend the work of move left and right up, still, also can be assigned as when the input kanji from " hiragana " to the conversion of " Chinese character ", " katakana " etc.

Key 115-1,115-2,116-1,116-2 can be used for the switching between English and the native language (being " hiragana ", " katakana " in the Japanese, being " Chinese character " in the Chinese, being " Korea's alphabetic literal " in the Korean), and the mode switching key that also can be used as full-shape and half-angle uses.

Owing to will reasonably distribute to thumb or forefinger flexibly to the text button that frequency of utilization is high in other embodiments, in the hope of being brought up to, text input speed is described explanation the soonest, therefore, here only to capitalization, lowercase, 3 on digital function mark key are carried out big classification, the content that can import describes.

In the both hands use, when input is English, key 115-1, the 115-2 of right flank, 116-1,116-2,117-1,117-2 are unwanted keys.Therefore, these keys can omit, and also can be assigned as " Backspace ", " DEL ", " ENT ", ". ", ", " etc., are used to improve English input speed.

But, the full-shape of the full-shape of the full-shape of key 115-1,115-2,116-1,116-2 usefulness " hiragana ", " katakana " in Japanese and half-angle, numeral and half-angle, mark and half-angle can obtain 7 kinds altogether, therefore, if it is used as mode switching key, then can import more quickly.

The literal of Figure 21 input control key 113-2 is can be with the key of 3 kinds of mode switch when pushing continuously.Can make under the bimanual state, become the employed method of Figure 22.Haveing no alternative but to use singlehanded state (holding the state of electric car suspension ring) etc.,, can switch to the singlehanded pattern of the right hand by pushing key 113-2 1 time.When pushing 1 time again, can switch to the singlehanded pattern of left hand.

Figure 23 is the synoptic diagram that uses the pocket telephone of Figure 21 under the singlehanded pattern of the right hand of the present invention.Figure 23 also shows the general survey situation that 5 fingers that grip, will be in this hand of gripping state with the right hand place the original position of input device all the time.

This using method is the right and wrong auxiliary using method of phase often all the time.

Here alleged singlehanded pattern is meant 8 key 106-1,106-2,108-1,108-2,109-1,109-2,110-1, the 110-2 of left surface key; The navigation key 101 of right flank key and 8 key 114-1,114-2,115-1,115-2,116-1,116-2,117-1,117-2 obtain literal input control and 6 key 118-1,118-2,119-1,119-2,120-1, the 120-2 of 12 key 102-1,102-2,103-1,103-2,104-1,104-2,105-1,105-2,107-1,107-2,111-1,111-2 and right flanks of remaining left surface all are invalid pattern.Why each is responsible for 2 keys to the key of left surface by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger, little finger respectively, this be because, gripping pocket telephone with the right hand and when this state is imported operation, as shown in figure 31, if utilize the frame height that makes between key and the key to be higher than the high mechanism of key, then can and push with 4 finger 2 keys of differentiation.The thumb of the right hand is owing to carrying out trickle difference, so be responsible for more key.Even under singlehanded pattern, compare with the key configuration of only using thumb of one hand, estimate that conservatively its text input speed also can about soon 4 times.

Left-handed person is in the face of the back side left-handed operation of Figure 21.

Operating key is identical with right hand user.If from state shown in Figure 22 the back side of display screen 02 toward Figure 21 is stored, display screen 02 will appear at the front of left-handed person.Receiver 04 and transmitter 05 are towards dorsal part.In Figure 21 and Figure 22, the demonstration of display screen 02 is by detecting the angle of linkwork 14, switching upside down.

Literal input control key 113-2 has this function to get final product, and also can replace with following manner, promptly pushes fixed a plurality of key simultaneously or determines good key necessarily to push for a long time.

The using method of the thumb under the situation of singlehanded pattern is, pressing key 114-1,114-2,115-1,115-2,116-1,116-2 obtain 6 kinds respectively, add that a kind that what does not push can obtain amounting to 7 kinds, because the key of left surface is 8, so 8 times that can import 7 kinds promptly amount to 56 literal.

If design only has when singlehanded pattern with 117-1 and the function of 117-2 as the mode switching key use,, therefore, can increase to 112 literal, 168 literal, 224 literal gradually even simple design also can be produced 4 patterns.In general, the English that is mixed with numeral just can be imported fully with 80 literal, therefore, does not need numerous and diverse ground switch mode switch key.

Certainly, singlehanded pattern also is applicable to other languages outside the Japanese.

Figure 25 can be a right-handed person, also can be left-handed person.As shown in figure 25,8 key 125-1,125-2 of the navigation operation bar 123 of left side body 01 left surface and 4 row, 2 row, 126-1,126-2,127-1,127-2,128-1,128-2 are responsible for by the thumb of left hand, key 129-1, the 129-2 of right flank, 130-1,130-2 are responsible for by the forefinger of left hand, key 131-1,131-2 are responsible for by the middle finger of left hand, key 132-1,132-2 are responsible for by the third finger of left hand, and 133-1,133-2 are responsible for by the little finger of left hand.Key 134-1, the 134-2 of right side body 01 left surface, 135-1,135-2 are responsible for by the forefinger of the right hand, key 136-1,136-2 are responsible for by the middle finger of the right hand, key 137-1,137-2 are responsible for by the third finger of the right hand, and key 138-1,138-2 are responsible for by the little finger of the right hand.The navigation operation bar 124 of right flank and 4 row, 2 row literal input control key 139-1, power key 139-2,140-1,140-2,141-1,141-2,142-1, the 142-2 of totally 8 keys are responsible for respectively by the thumb of the right hand.

The using method of the key of right-handed person here is described.

Do not push under the state of any key there being right-handed thumb, if, then can import 26 literal that lowercase " a " arrives " z " with 26 keys of remaining 9 finger presses (the left hand thumb is pushed 6 key 126-1,126-2,127-1,127-2,128-1,128-2).Then, push at right-handed thumb under the state of 140-2, if, then can import 26 literal that capitalization " A " arrives " Z " with 26 keys of remaining 9 finger presses.

Push at right-handed thumb under the state of 140-1, by pressing key 129-1,129-2; 130-1,130-2,131-1,131-2,132-1,132-2,133-1,133-2, can input digit 1,2 ..., 10 numerals of 9,0.Other remaining 16 keys can also be assigned as English necessary mark of input such as " Backspace ", " DEL ", " ENT ", ". ", ", " or function.Under the situation of righthanded pattern, navigation operation bar 124 is set to effectively, it is invalid that navigation operation bar 123 is set to.

Right-handed person does not need navigation operation bar 123 and key 141-1,141-2,142-1,142-2 when input is English.Therefore, these keys can omit, and also can be assigned as " Backspace ", " DEL ", " ENT ", ". ", ", " etc., are used to improve English input speed.

The character input method that another kind makes bimanual 10 fingers is described below.

A kind of like this method is arranged: left-handed thumb uses key 140-2,141-2 key 126-1,127-1,20 keys are used as text button with all the other 8 fingers as shift as shift use, right-handed thumb.The thumb that comprises both hands is not done any situation of pushing, and the pattern of performing has 5 kinds.Therefore, can import 5 kinds 20 times literal, i.e. 100 literal.If the bond number that performs is increased to 6, then can import 140 literal.

Pushing under any one state of shift in addition, any one in bimanual all the other 8 fingers carried out the method for 1 push action input; And utilize in any one and all the other 8 fingers of both hands of shift any one to carry out the method for 1 push action input simultaneously.Characteristics faster when it has the fast practician of key scroll by the input of push action simultaneously.

Under the situation of left-handed person, with literal input control key 139-1 switch mode, make navigation operation bar 123 effective, become the pattern of using as the shift that switches capitalization, lowercase and numeric character function with key 126-1 and 126-2.

Replace, navigation operation bar 124 lost efficacy, and replaced key 126-1,126-2,127-1,127-2,128-1,128-2, made key 140-1,140-2,141-1,141-2,143-1,143-2 become the key of input alphabet literal.

So, if pre-designed software, by the selection of key, but lefthanded or right-handed person dual-purpose are with a kind of pocket telephone.

In the pocket telephone of Figure 24, in order to guide the input characters corresponding,, represent the input characters corresponding with lettering all the time with key in the body front of pocket telephone with key, this is convenient to the literal input of pocket telephone of the present invention or small-sized PDA machine.

Figure 36 be of the present inventionly can with the hands grip, the synoptic diagram of an example of pocket telephone input device that bimanual 10 fingers carry out the literal input.

This device is made of following parts: body 01; Display screen 02; Antenna 03; Receiver 04; Transmitter 05; 27 keys of 9 row, 3 row altogether of key 216-1,216-2,216-3 that 1 row 3 of left surface key is listed as and the keys 217,218,219,220,221,222,223,224 that are respectively 3 row; The navigation key 215 of right flank and 8 row, 3 row keys 225,226,227,228,229,230,231,232 amount to 24 keys; Place the frame 233 of finger.

Figure 37 is the overview of bimanual 10 fingers during input characters in the pocket telephone of Figure 36.

Figure 37 also shows with the hands and grips, 10 fingers of both hands are placed the general survey situation in the original position of input device.

As shown in figure 37,9 keys of 3 row, 3 row of the navigation key 215 of right flank and key 225,226,227 are responsible for by the thumb of the right hand; 2 row, 3 row of the key 216,217 of left surface amount to 6 keys to be responsible for by the forefinger of the right hand; 3 keys of key 218 are responsible for by right hand middle finger; 3 keys of key 219 are responsible for by the third finger of the right hand; 3 keys of key 220 are responsible for by the little finger of the right hand.

4 row, 3 row of the key 221,222,223,224 of left surface amount to 12 keys to be responsible for by the thumb of left hand, 2 row, 3 row of the key 228,229 of right flank amount to 6 keys to be responsible for by the forefinger of left hand, 3 keys of key 230 are responsible for by the middle finger of left hand, 3 keys of key 231 are responsible for by the third finger of left hand, and 3 keys of key 232 are responsible for by the little finger of left hand.

There is not right-handed thumb to push under the state of any key, if, then can import 26 literal, 10 numeric literals and 3 other marks that lowercase " a " arrives " z " with 39 keys of remaining 9 finger presses except that 3 keys of key 224.Then, push at right-handed thumb under the state of 225-2, if, then can import 26 literal and 13 other marks that capitalization " A " arrives " Z " with 39 keys of remaining 9 finger presses.

Push at right-handed thumb under the state of 225-1, if, then can further import about 39 literal with about 39 keys of remaining 9 finger presses.

Here, adopt the performance of 39 keys of so-called usefulness to be meant, even the key (for example key 224-3,232-3) that omits the key (for example key 216-3,228-3) that is in the position that is difficult to push with the many forefingers of the bond number of being responsible for and be in the position of the inflexible little finger pressing key difficulty of action, reduce the number of key, replace literal with other keys, also have not big harm.This means if bond number is 3 row substantially, even increase and decrease about about 4, also is to belong to scope of the present invention.

1 literal wherein might not be fixed as literal.Also can be used as " space bar ", also can be assigned as the such function key of " DELETE " key.If the representative key that special token is gathered be appointed as in one of them literal, then import a specific literal, by repeatable operation navigation key 215, can select a plurality of special tokens then.

Need not switch key that the right hand thumb of right flank is responsible for and can import these characteristics of English 26 letters, with Roman capitals input method input Japanese the time, more can demonstrate its revolutionary advantage.This be because, in the Roman capitals input method of Japanese, do not use 7 literal such as " C ", " F " in the English alphabet, " J ", " L ", " Q ", " V ", " X ", can import " kana text " of Japanese with 19 English alphabets, thereby, remaining 20 literal can be assigned as in the Japanese commonly used ", ", ".", the set key of " RET ", " DEL ", " space ", " Backspace " or special character etc.Like this, under situation, can continue to import continuously whole " hiragana " not according to the die pressing type switch key.The thumb of the right hand can reside in navigation key, is exclusively used in " Chinese character " conversion, therefore, and input characters fast.

Like this, no matter be English or Japanese, or other any language, as long as can carry out conversion with about 39 literal, the present invention is suitable for.

The navigation key 215 of right flank mainly is responsible for allowing the cursor on the display screen 02 descend the work of move left and right up, still, also can be assigned as when the input kanji from " hiragana " to the conversion of " Chinese character ", " katakana " etc.

By using navigation key 215 switch modes, the variable native language input pattern that is changed to, with 3 keys of key 225 as native language (under the Japanese be " hiragana ", " katakana ", under the Chinese for " Chinese character ", under Korean, be " Korea's alphabetic literal ") shift use, use with 3 keys of key 226 shift as English.Like this, when the input native language, can only perform, just can insert English without switch mode by operation.

Further, under the input pattern of speaking home, by key 225-1,225-2 are used as shift, available about 39 keys are directly imported 51 sounds of Japanese, and need not to use the Roman capitals input.

Like this, no matter English or Japanese, or other any language, as long as can carry out conversion with other about 39 words (26 English alphabets are more out of question), the present invention is suitable for.

Under alphabetical situation, because capitalization key and lower case are same keys, so finger is study especially easily, can grasp in the shortest time and carry out touch system in pocket telephone.

Utilize the present invention, text input speed is compared fast about 20 times with the singlehanded key configuration of only using thumb.

Certainly, when just on pocket telephone, pushing telephone number and make a phone call with one hand, as shown in figure 44, push at right-handed thumb under the state of 225-1, also can by first in the pressing key 216,217,218,219,220 row and secondary series key come input digit 1,2 ..., 9,0.

Owing to will reasonably distribute to thumb or forefinger flexibly to the text button that frequency of utilization is high in other embodiments, in the hope of being brought up to, text input speed is described explanation the soonest, therefore, here only to capitalization mark, lowercase digital function mark key 2 are carried out big classification, the content that can import describes.

3 keys of the key 224 of left surface are arranged on the optimum position that right hand little finger can contact, so that it uses when singlehanded pattern.

When both hands use, on 3 keys that literal are assigned to key 224, just can be suitable for language with 42 literal performances.

Use, do not need when importing English the key 225-3,226 of right flank, 7 keys of 227 at both hands.Therefore, these keys can omit, and also can be assigned as " Space ", " Back space ", " DEL ", " ENT ", ". ", ", " etc., are used to improve English input speed.

The another kind of character input method that makes bimanual 10 fingers is described below.
