Background technology

Continuous development along with computing machine and electronic technology, the speed capabilities performance of computing machine has had the breakthrough of advancing by leaps and bounds, but the input equipment of personal computer, but never too big variation of keyboard and mouse development, we have continued to use mouse-keyboard for many years always, in keyboard arrangement, the never too big improvement of aspects such as input mode, this is because present computing machine qwerty keyboard is come from the english typewriter continuity, because typewriter is to the consideration on the location positioning, the defective that causes some aspects, location, invented mouse again, but keyboard and mouse are also never organically in conjunction with mistake, though an input technology is arranged recently, the pen input has solved the marriage relation of input and location preferably, but the restriction of pen input makes this technology not be widely used, and ten finger collaborative process are fast because the input of a pen is far from, and is to be exactly at least one letter by one.English typewriter has improved the speed of typewriting gradually after 1872, if be at the beginning of the design for the written historical materials that the makes commercial intercourse words of standard more, the typewriting of this moment has been write soon than pen and has been howed, and the keyboard input develops into now, and wanting to allow pen import than the keyboard input has been unlikely soon.

What continue to use is the english typewriter keyboard--QWERTY formula keyboard (preceding 6 letters that are this design are set to QWERTY) is that a slip-stick artist who is Christopher Si Kulesi was in design in 1873.Exactly because design can reduce people's typing speed like this, because typewriter technology at that time also not too reaches a standard, if typing speed is too fast, mechanical arm can get stuck.And after, because people get used to using this keyboard from the beginning, cause keyboard production to have to adopt the QWERTY formula always.

Some shortcomings of present qwerty keyboard mouse: bimanualness, keyboard and mouse separates, a hand must frequently switch between keyboard and mouse in the time of the operation mouse, and a hand is when stopping, the another hand also can only be in armed state, can't finish input service alone, and number of keys is many, location difficulty, these factors cause traditional keyboard work efficiency low.And behind the bimanualness keyboard, can't be in kbhit make other thing of hand, such as page turning, the word that drinks water, answers the call, writes with a pen, do gesture etc.

Have in the notebook product of companies such as present IBM mouse is nested in the keyboard, but also whether easily, can't import when mainly being the location, can't locate in the time of input.And in the location, an other hand also must stop work and wait the location end, and same, has no idea to accomplish that location and input all are that one hand is finished.

Present cell phone keyboard, be subjected to the influence of mobile phone volume, the mobile phone key number is few, one key multipotency, a key has a variety of by method, press such as short, long pressing, fast double hit etc. all has different functions, can one-handed performance, also can import kinds of words in many ways, but repeat key is many, location difficulty is when showing as the input short message, because of repeated code appears in input characters, select difficulty, can only move up and down with directionkeys, four direction single step is up and down moved on positioning action, and mobile phone is a hand-held device lattice one lattice, be subjected to other fingers need arrest the influence of mobile phone, therefore can only one or two finger button operation during general operation, this also is to influence a slow factor of mobile phone input characters, this factor causes considerable people not use SMS.Write pen and address this problem although the smart mobile phone of part adopts to touch, write pen and must adopt bimanualness but adopt to touch, this is very inconvenient to any personnel who go out, think that the migrant person generally can be with bag, so bimanualness is very inconvenient.

Need the keyboard and mouse of bimanualness also very inconvenient in addition to one-handed person scholar.
