Definitions

  • Each character in the array may be located on a physical key which can be operated by movement, pressure, touch or in any other way to signify the selection of that character.
  • the characters in the array need not each be associated with a conventional physical key as such, but may merely identify a local region in which selection of that character can be signified by a suitable action on the part of the operator.
  • the term "keyboard" as used herein is thus not intended to be limited to an array of traditional keys corresponding to the characters of the alphabet, but extends to any device which, on activation of successive selected ones of individual locations corresponding to the characters, can give rise to corresponding successive outputs denoting the characters selected.
  • the third and final row consists of a left hand zone 17 containing the group of keys V and W; a central zone l8 containing the group of keys R, S, and T; and a right hand zone 19 containing the group of keys Y, X and Z.
