  • the irrational button layouts of many typewriter eras and DOS eras have been left behind and have not evolved according to the development of the times.
  • the keyboard for the QWERTY layout was patented by Christoph Larsen Shoals in 1868 and commercialized on typewriters in 1873.
  • the keyboard of the QWERTY layout has four major drawbacks.
  • the first one is that the button direction of the left-hand button area is tilted to the upper left, causing the wrist of the left hand to be abnormally twisted to the left when the keystroke is pressed, and the long-term use causes a great pain to the wrist of the left hand.
  • the second is that the letters are not arranged in the order of the alphabet of ABCD. The learning curve is very high and difficult to remember.
  • the third is that the arrangement and position of the letters do not match the statistical rules of the frequency of use of the letters, and the typing speed is difficult to be faster.
  • the fourth is that the alphabetical alignment of the fingers does not meet the ergonomic requirements, the most powerless little thumbs of both hands bear the most buttons.
  • Dvorak invented a new method of keyboard alignment.
  • the keyboard layout of this design is optimized according to the frequency of use of the letters, but this only improves the shortcomings of the keyboard of the QWERTY layout.
  • the other three disadvantages are the same as the keyboard of the QWERTY layout.
  • MALT-style keyboard solves the third shortcoming of the QWERTY-type keyboard like the DVORAK-style keyboard, partially alleviating the first and fourth drawbacks, but the first and fourth drawbacks still cannot be solved.
  • the letter keys on both sides of the MALT keyboard are too far apart, which adds a disadvantage of two-hand coordination, and the cost of the MALT keyboard is particularly high, especially the two-sided concave, cost and two-hand coordination, and the disadvantages that are also not easy to learn. MALT-style keyboards have not been widely used.
  • Another keyboard design is the same on the keyboard of the QWERTY layout, except that the letter keys are sorted by 26 English letters. This design solves the second shortcoming of the QWERTY keyboard, which is not easy to learn. The other three disadvantages are the same as the keyboard of the QWERTY layout. Nor has it been applied on a large scale.

  • the NSK 535 has fewer keyboard buttons and basically solves the fourth drawback of the QWERTY keyboard.
  • its button design makes the high frequency "A, E, I" three letters responsible for the left hand, so it is much more efficient and faster than the QWERTY keyboard. And because it has fewer buttons, some numbers, punctuation, function keys, etc. can be achieved by a combination of many unfamiliar users.
  • NSK 535 has added up, down, left and right cursor keys in the middle of the letters, so that the right and left hands also have problems. Therefore, although NSK 535 is relatively easy to learn and healthy, replace the page (Article 26) However, efficiency and speed are low, so it has not been popularized.

在小尺寸设备上实现全尺寸键盘按键的方法
技术领域
本发明涉及小尺寸电子设备技术领域， 具体地说涉及一种小尺寸电子设备的键盘。
背景技术
因为技术的不断发展， 电子设备可以在越来越小的尺寸上实现原有的功能。 例如最早的 电脑有一个房间那么大， 发展到后来的台式电脑， 到再后来的笔记本电脑， 尺寸越来越小。 随着人们对电子产品的便携性要求越来越高， 近年来继笔记本电脑之后， 又兴起了屏幕尺寸 小于等于 12英寸的各种便携电子设备，例如 Netbook, Mini-notebook, SmartBook, Booklet, UMPC, MID等等。 但是在屏幕尺寸小于 12英寸的设备上， 原有的键盘布局不能实现全尺寸的 键盘。 目前各厂商采用的方法是缩小每个按键的尺寸来将键盘放置到设备上， 这种方法的按 键通常只有全尺寸键盘的按键的 90%〜95%,但是在 90%左右大小的按键上， 用户输入时仍然很 不方便。
目前已有的另一种在小尺寸设备上实现全尺寸按键的方法是将键盘做成折叠式键盘， 用 物理的方法将键盘对折或三折， 展开后为全尺寸键盘。 但是这种方法机械设计复杂， 成本高 昂， 难以普及。 且这种方法较适用于外置键盘， 很难做成内置键盘。
用户需要在小于等于 12寸的各种便携电子设备上， 使用 100%全尺寸大小的键盘按键。
QWERTY布局的键盘从一百多年前的打字机时代， 多为作家和打字员专用。 到 DOS命令行 时代， 多为科学家和程序员专用。 到现在进入 WINDOWS视窗时代， 电脑键盘成为大多数普通 用户的工具。 很多打字机时代和 DOS时代的不合理的按键布局， 一直遗留下来， 没能根据时 代的发展而发展。 QWERTY布局的键盘是克里斯托夫. 拉森. 肖尔斯在 1868年申请的专利， 1873年开始在打字机上商业化。
QWERTY布局的键盘有 4个主要的缺点。第一个是左手按键区的按键方向是向左上方倾斜， 导致左手的腕部在击键时是不正常的向左反向扭曲， 长时间使用对左手的腕部造成很大的伤 痛。第二个是字母不按照 ABCD的字母表的顺序排列， 学习曲线很高， 难以记忆。第三个是字 母排列和位置不符合字母的使用频率的统计规律， 打字速度难以更快。 第四个是字母排列相 对应的手指不符合人体工学的要求， 两只手的最无力的小拇指承担最多的按键。
德沃拉克（Dvorak)在 1934年发明了一种新的键盘排列方法。这种设计的键盘对字母的 排列根据字母的使用频率进行了优化，但这只对 QWERTY布局的键盘的缺点三进行了改善，其 它三个缺点是和 QWERTY布局的键盘共同的。
莫尔特 （Lillian Malt) 又设计了比 「DV0RAK」 键盘更加合理、 髙效的 「MALT」 键盘。 MALT式键盘和 DVORAK式键盘一样解决了 QWERTY式键盘的第三个缺点， 部分缓解了第一个和 第四个缺点，但第一个缺点和第四个缺点仍然不能根本解决。且 MALT式键盘两边的字母键相 隔得太远， 反而增加了一个两手协调性的缺点， 且 MALT式键盘成本髙， 特别是两边凹型的， 成本和两手协调性， 以及同样不易于学习的缺点使得 MALT式键盘幷没能得到广泛地应用。
另有一种键盘设计是在 QWERTY布局的键盘上其它不变， 只是字母键按照 26个英文字母 来排序。 这种设计解决了 QWERTY式键盘的第二个不易于学习的缺点， 其它三个缺点是和 QWERTY布局的键盘共同的。 也没有得到大规模应用。
John Parkinson设计了新標準鍵盤 （New Standard Keyboards), 型号为 NSK 535。 这个 设计解决了 QWERTY式键盘的第一个和第二个缺点，很易于学习，并且左右手的移动方向适合 人类的腕部运动方向。 变得更易于学习和更健康。 由于 NSK 535键盘按键更少， 也基本解决 了 QWERTY式键盘的第四个缺点。 但是它的按键设计让频率高的 "A、 E、 I "三个字母由左手 小手指负责， 所以它的效率和速度比 QWERTY式键盘差很多。 且由于它按键更少， 一些数字， 标点符号， 功能键等要按很多用户不熟悉的组合键的方式才能实现。 且 NSK 535在字母中间 加入了上下左右的光标键， 让左右手的配合也有问题。 所以 NSK 535虽然比较易学和健康， 替换页 (细则第 26条) 但是效率和速度低下， 所以也未能普及。
市场上还有一些标着人体工学的键盘， 只是将键盘左右两边分开， 但是左手的键位方向 仍然是向左倾斜的， 对左手腕部的伤害和 QWERTY式键盘是一样的。
由此看出现有的各种键盘设计方案， 要么易用健康但效率速度低， 要么效率速度高但不 易用不健康。 要么是既不易用也不健康， 效率也不太高， 但成本较低。 举两个极端的例子： 一端是速录机的键盘学习要一年之久， 成本也高， 但是效率和速度最高。 一端是手机的 ABCD 键盘最好学最容易用， 成本最低， 但是效率和速度最差。
用户需要一种能同时解决易用性， 健康， 效率， 速度， 和成本的键盘。
一百年来， 无数发明家和公司希望发明比现有 QWERTY键盘更容易使用的 ABCD键盘， 但 都没成功， 所以本发明的 ABCD键盘在本领域是非显而易见的。 2007年 Eee PC问世之后， 世 界上所有的电脑公司， 以及诺基亚等其它领域的大公司， 都投入研发上网本键盘， 惠普、 索 尼、 东芝、 戴尔、 诺基亚等等全球大公司投入无数人力和财力， 他们有大量最优秀的工程师。 都没能研发出 100%全尺寸的 QWERTY键盘。 所以本发明的 QWERTY键盘在本领域是非显而易见 的。
发明内容

3、 本发明的新型 ABCD键盘， 让用户的左手手腕和右手手腕都无需扭曲； 本发明的小型 QWERTY键， 让用户的右手手腕无需扭曲。
4、 本发明的新型 ABCD键盘， 设计更加人体工学， 按键位置更加合理。 传统 QWERTY键盘 布局， 左手右手负责的字母频率比为 59 : 41， 本发明的新型 ABCD键盘左手右手负责的字母 频率比为 46 : 54， 更加均衡， 且右手更多。 传统 QWERTY键盘布局， 小指负责的字母频率为 10%, 本发明的新型 ABCD键盘， 小指负责的字母频率为 0%。 传统 QWERTY键盘布局， 顶行的 字母频率为 51%， 本发明的新型 ABCD键盘， 顶行的字母频率为 33. 6%。
5、本发明的新型 ABCD键盘，输入速度更快。本发明的新型 ABCD键盘， 小指不负责字母， 而传统 QWERTY键盘小指负责 4个字母， 且其中字母 A为高频字母。本发明的新型 ABCD键盘， 高频的标点符号键， 也可以直接输入， 无需 Shift键。
6、 本发明的新型 ABCD键盘， 在 235mm的长度内， 还能有完整的数字小键盘。 也可以在 键盘中间有 2. 5英寸的触摸板。
7、 本发明的小型 QWERTY键盘， Backspace键比传统键盘离右手近 39mm， 右手伸开就可 以用无名指直接敲击。 Enter键离右手近 19mm， 同样右手手腕也无需扭曲， 伸开小手指就可 以直接敲击 Enter键。 右 Shift键离右手近 19mm， 右手小指下移就可直接敲击 Shift键， 手 腕也无需扭曲。 C29键位的标点符号单引号和双引号近了一个键位， 也离右手近了 19mm。 使 得用户输入时， 更健康， 速度更快。
8、 增加了复制、 粘贴、 剪切、 打开、 查找、 撤销、 重做等常用的编辑键， 更加方便用户 编辑。 增加货币符号方便用户的输入。
9、 合并成对键的方法， 既方便用户少输入一次， 又增加一个键位可以放置其它按键， 一 举两得。
10、 在键盘右下角增加方向单键， 让用户操作光标更直观自然， 而且节约空间， 可以用 一个方向单键起到八个光标按键的作用， 或者用两个方向单键起到八个光标按键的作用。
11、 本发明的某些设计将 Backspace键、 Shift键和 Enter键位置， 改由食指或者大拇 指敲击， 距离更近， 非常的方便、 高效、 健康和舒适。
12、 本发明的某些设计键盘上增加横竖撇点折五个汉字笔画键， 更加方便输入汉字。 附图说明

具体实施方式
以下结合附图对本发明的优选实施例进行说明， 应当理解， 此处所描述的优选实施例仅 用于说明和解释本发明， 并不用于限定本发明。
图 1为现有厂商的高度和长度都进行缩小的小尺寸电子设备键盘示意图， 如图 1所示， 目前的所有厂商将传统的标准键盘的高度和长度都进行缩小， 按照不同尺寸的屏幕形成小尺 寸键盘。
图 2为根据本发明的长度缩小高度增加的小尺寸电子设备键盘示意图， 如图 2所示， 本 发明将传统的标准键盘的长度缩小高度增加， 按照不同尺寸的屏幕形成全尺寸键盘。
图 3为根据本发明的长度缩小高度不变的小尺寸电子设备键盘示意图， 如图 3所示， 本 发明将传统的标准键盘的长度缩小高度不变， 按照不同尺寸的屏幕形成全尺寸键盘。
对于屏幕尺寸小于 12英寸的便携设备来说， 内部放不下标准的全尺寸键盘。 附图 103是 便携式电子设备的传统布局， 输入面的上面是键盘， 下面是触摸板。 这种布局在设备尺寸大 于等于 12英寸的时候， 可以提供全尺寸的按键。 如图 4-5所示， 12英寸宽屏幕的设备尺寸 刚好可以勉强装得下全尺寸按键的键盘。在设备尺寸小于 12英寸的时候， 传统键盘的按键布 局， 只能装得下部分的按键， 分别如图 4-1、 图 4-2、 图 4-3、 图 4-4所示。
图 4示意了不同尺寸的屏幕对应于标准全尺寸键盘的区域大小。 图 4-1是 8英寸设备对 应的键盘部分， 长度对应十个到十个半的标准键宽， 高度对应标准键盘高度加上一个小功能 键的高度。 图 4-2是 9英寸设备对应的键盘部分， 长度对应大约十一个半的标准键宽， 高度 对应标准键盘高度加上一个标准按键的高度。 图 4-3是 10英寸设备对应的键盘部分， 长度对 应大约十二个半的标准键宽， 高度对应标准键盘高度加上两个标准按键的高度。 图 4-4是 11 英寸设备对应的键盘部分， 长度对应大约十三个半的标准键宽， 高度对应标准键盘高度加上 两个半的标准按键高度。 图 4-5是 12英寸设备对应的键盘部分， 长度比标准键盘长度短半个 标准键宽， 高度对应标准键盘高度加上三个半的标准按键的高度。 图 4是用标准的 84键英文 键盘为例子， 图 5-1是 89键的日文键盘的例子， 图 5-2是 85键欧洲键盘的例子， 和图 4的 英文键盘长宽尺寸是一样的。
对于不能放下全尺寸键盘的小型便携电子设备， 目前国际上的所有公司的解决方案是如 图 1所示， 保持所有按键的布局和相对位置不变， 改变所有按键的大小， 将键盘的长度和高 度同时缩小， 将使用频率比较高的按键缩小的比率小一点， 将使用频率比较低的按键缩小的 比率大一点。 这种设计方案， 早期的键盘按键只有全尺寸键盘按键的 80%左右， 后来各个公 司通过增加屏幕两边的边框的宽度， 使得整个设备的长度增加， 目前的键盘按键一般在标准 全尺寸按键的 92%左右。 但 92%的按键大小， 对用户来说， 输入仍然是非常的不方便， 觉得还 是太小。 而且这种设计方案除了按键太小， 还有两个缺点。 第一个缺点是屏幕两边的边框太 宽， 看上去非常的不美观， 且视觉效果上觉得屏幕太小。 第二个缺点是为了键盘能更大点， 通过加宽屏幕的边框， 增加设备的长度， 但是由于尺寸加大， 携带性的优点就下降了。 本发明的解决方案如图 2所示： 保持按键的大小不变， 改变按键的布局和位置， 将键盘 的水平方向长度缩小， 垂直方向高度增加； 将原本水平方向上放置不下的按键， 转移到垂直 方向增加的一排或多排按键上去。
本发明的另一个解决方案如图 3所示： 将键盘的水平方向长度缩小， 但垂直方向高度保 持不变， 将原本水平方向上放置不下的按键， 合并， 减少， 或者转移到其它的按键上去。
本发明的解决方案如图 2和图 3所示， 不但提供了 100%的标准键盘按键大小， 而且保持 了便携设备的尺寸更小， 携带型更好； 屏幕两边的边框也是正常宽度， 这样看起来， 屏幕更 大， 产品更美观。 图 6至图 9是本发明的小型 QWERTY键盘设计的具体方法，也是图 2和图 3的设计原理的 具体说明。 如图 6至图 9所示： 将传统键盘中， 除键盘中间区域的字母键之外的所有其它按 键重新布局， 图 6示意了传统键盘黑色框内 100这个倒梯形区域的按键大小、 位置及其布局 不变， 100之外的所有按键重新排列到图 7中的 101， 102的 2个区域中。 如图 8所示， 区域 102由区域 103、 区域 104， 区域 105组成， 区域 103位于区域 100的左边， 区域 104位于区 域 100的右边， 区域 105位于区域 100的下面。 如图 9所示， 区域 105还可以再分为左边， 中间， 右边的三个区域 106， 108， 107。 中间倒梯形的区域 100—直保持不变， 区域 101至 区域 108这些区域的大小、形状和面积随着设备尺寸的变化而变化，并且区域 101至区域 108 内的具体按键分布可以根据设备的大小、 按键布局， 以及语言种类等需要进行任意的设计。
图 10示意了区域 100的构成， 是传统键盘中间按键大小和位置保持不变的倒梯形。这个 倒梯形区域由 27个按键组成， 第一排 10个按键， 第二排 9个按键， 第三排 8个按键， 且左 边边缘向右下倾斜， 右边边缘向左下倾斜， 形成一个倒梯形形状。 上面的标号 C1至 C27代表 字符键， C代表 Character, 可以是字母键， 标点符号键， 功能键等任意的字符键； 1 至 27 代表按键的序号。 将区域 100内的的按键大小和按键位置保持不变， 按键长度和按键宽度不 变 （通常为 18mm*18mm和 19mm*19mm)， 按键距离不变 （通常为 19mm至 19. 5mm)。 图 11是图 10的英文键盘的例子， 第一排为 "QWERTYUI0P" 10个按键，第二排为 "ASDFGHJKL" 9个按键， 第三排为 "ZXCVB匪"这 7个按键加上一个字符键。 在传统 QWERTY的键盘布局中， 图 11是绝 大多少键盘的字母排列布局。 图 12-1和图 12-2是图 10的另外两个例子。 图 12中， 第一排 11个按键， 第二排 10个按键， 第三排 9个按键， 共 30个键。 图 12-1是按照字母表的顺序 排列的倒梯形区域， 第一排为 "ABCDEFG", 第二排为 "HIGKLMN0PQ"，第三排为 "RSTUVWXYZ"。 图 12-2是法文键盘的例子， 法文键盘中 100的区域第一排是 "AZERTYUI0P"这十个按键，第 二排是 "QSDFGHJKLM", 第三排是 " WXCVBN"。 区域 100还可以为更多按键的倒梯形， 例如第 一排 12个按键， 第二排 11个按键， 第三排 10个按键共 33个按键。
101区域可以为任意高度， 图 13和图 14列举了图 7中 101区域的两个例子： 图 13为一 个标准按键高度加上一个小功能键按键的高度； 图 14为增加了一行， 两个标准按键高度加上 一个小功能键按键高度。 实际上根据需要， 除了图 13高度不变和图 14增加一行的例子外， 101 区域还可以增加两行或更多行的按键。 本发明的指导思想之一就是可以在键盘上增加一 行或多行， 来放置更多的语言基本符号。 世界上除了英文， 欧洲文字以外， 很多文字有很多 个语言基本符号， 例如日语有 50个假名， 韩语有大概 40个左右， 俄语有 30个左右， 阿拉伯 文， 印度语， 汉语等都有更多的语言基本符号， 而且这些语言都拥有大量的使用人口。 可在 传统键盘上增加一行或增加更多的行数来放置更多的语言符号， 可避免现有的键盘布局很多 语言基本符号的输入需要多次切换的缺点。 可根据设备大小和语言种类增加更多的行。 增加 行的位置也可变更， 而不一定是在数字行的上面增加。 图 15是图 14的两个例子， 图 15-1中 增加的一行按键在数字键的上面一排， 图 15-2中增加的一行按键在数字键的下面一排。
105区域可以为任意高度， 图 16、 图 17和图 20列举了 105区域的三个例子： 图 16为一 个标准按键的高度； 图 17为两个小光标按键的高度； 图 20为两个标准按键的高度。 图 18是 图 16的例子， 分为左边一个按键高度的 106区域， 中间的 space键， 右边一个按键高度的 107区域。 图 19是图 17的例子， 分为左边两个小光标按键高度的 106区域， 中间的 space 键， 右边两个小光标按键高度的 107区域。 图 21是图 20的例子， 分别分为两个标准按键高 度的 106、 107、 108区域。
图 22至图 53是图 16和图 18的具体说明， 其中标号 BF代表 Big Function,， 代表大的 功能键， 通常代表 Ctrl键、 Alt键、 Systems键、 Fn键、 Alt Green键等， BF1至 BF15代表 序号。 Cu代表 Cursor, 通常代表上下左右四个光标键和翻页键， Cul至 Cu8代表序号。 图 22至图 25是高度为一个标准按键高度的 106区域的设计模板。图 22是 106区域中，在 space 键左边有四个功能键的设计模板； 图 23是在 space键左边有三个功能键的设计模板； 图 24 是在 space键左边有两个功能键的设计模板；图 25是在 space键左边有一个功能键的设计模 板。 图 26和图 27是图 22的两个例子， 图 26中 Ctrl键在最左边， 图 27中 Fn键在最左边。 图 28是图 23的例子。 图 29和图 30是 Systems键的两个例子， Systems键代表操作系统键， 图 29是微软公司的操作系统键的例子， 图 30是苹果公司的操作系统键的例子。 如果为其它 操作系统的键盘， Systems键可以为其它的默认 Systems键的样子。 图 31至图 38是 107区 域为一个标准按键高度的设计模板。图 31是 space键右边三个功能键加上六个小光标键的设 计模板； 图 32是 space键右边两个功能键加上六个小光标键的设计模板； 图 33是 space键 右边一个功能键加上六个小光标键的设计模板；图 34是 space键右边只有六个小光标键的设 计模板； 图 35是 space键右边有五个功能键的设计模板； 图 36是 space键右边有四个功能 键的设计模板； 图 37是 space键右边有三个功能键的设计模板； 图 38是 space键右边有两 个功能键的设计模板。 图 39和图 40是图 31的两个设计例子； 图 41是图 32的设计例子； 图 42是图 33的设计例子； 图 43是图 34的设计例子； 图 44和图 45是图 35的设计例子； 图 46 和图 47是图 36的设计例子； 图 48和图 49是图 37的设计例子； 图 51、 图 52、 图 53是图 38的设计例子。 附图中没列出右边 107区域只有一个功能键的模板， 图 50是只有一个功能 键的例子。 这些设计例子中， 图 41的优点在于空格键右边有 Alt Green键， Ctrl键， 六个 光标键， 最接近传统布局。 图 42的优点在于移除不常用的右 Ctrl键， 使得空格键的长度可 以更长些。 图 46的优点在于让空格键长点的情况下， 有 Alt Green键， Ctrl键， 还有两个 方向单键。 图 48的优点在于让空格键更长的情况下， 有 Alt Green键， Ctrl键， 还有方向 单键。 图 49的优点在于让空格键更长的情况下， 有两个方向单键。 图 51的优点在于可以用 在尺寸很小的设备的设计中。 图 54至图 80是图 17和图 19的具体说明。 它们和上文中图 22至图 53对图 16和图 18 的具体说明一样， 区别只是高度为两个小光标按键的高度。 设计图是几乎一样的， 只是将高 度从原来的一个标准按键高度拉高到两个小光标按键的高度。 这种设计的优点是空格键的高 度增加了， 大拇指敲击起来更加舒适。 方向单键的高度也增加了， 敲击起来也更舒适。 还有 一个优点就是键盘的下面边缘是一齐的， 更加美观。
图 81至图 102是图 20和图 21的具体说明， 其中标号 A代表 Add,代表增加的按键， 可 以为任何的字符按键， A1至 A15代表序号。 图 81和图 82是区域 106为两个标准按键高度的 设计模板。 图 81是区域 106有六个按键的设计模板， 图 82是区域 106有 8个按键的设计模 板。 图 83是图 81的设计例子； 图 84是图 82的设计例子。 图 85至图 90是区域 107为两个 标准按键高度的设计模板。 图 85至图 87是区域 107有 6个按键大小的设计模板。 图 85中六 个按键为上面一排三个增加的按键， 下面一排为三个功能键。 图 86中六个按键为六个大的光 标键。 图 87中为六个按键面积大小的触控板。 图 91是图 85的设计例子， 图 92是图 86的设 计例子。 图 88至图 90是区域 107有 8个按键大小的设计模板。 图 88中八个按键为上面一排 四个增加的按键，下面一排为四个功能键。图 89中八个按键为两个按键加上六个大的光标键。 图 90中为两个按键加上六个按键面积大小的触控板。 图 93是图 88的设计例子； 图 94是图 89的设计例子； 图 95是图 90的设计例子。
图 96至图 98是区域 108为两个标准按键高度的设计模板。图 96是上面一排为 3个大功 能键， 下面一排为空格键的设计模板。 图 97是上面一排为 4个大功能键， 下面一排为空格键 的设计模板。 图 98为正中间为三角形的 Shift键， Shift键两边为对称的平行四边形的， 斜 向中间的空格键， 最两边是倒三角形或倒梯形的 Backspace键和 Enter键。 图 99和图 100是 图 96的设计例子， 根据用户习惯的不同， Backspace键分别在 Shift键左边和右边。 图 101 和图 102是图 97的设计例子， 根据用户习惯的不同， Backspace键分别在 Shift键左边和右 边。 图 98中也可以像图 99一样， 将 Backspace键和 Enter键互换位置。 图 98至图 102中将 Shift键放置在键盘中间的位置， 这样将传统键盘左右两边的两个 " SHIFT"键合并到中间一 个 " SHIFT"键上。 既节约了空间， 又让本来两手的小指负责的 " SHIFT"键， 改由拇指或食 指负责， 对手指更加健康。 本来两个手的小指去敲击 " SHIFT"键， 移动的距离很大， 手腕扭 曲的角度很大， 对手很不健康。 改由用拇指或食指敲击更有力量， 手也不用移动， 腕部也无 需转动， 对人非常健康， 且速度也更快。 将 Enter键和 Backspace键放置在中间， 用两手拇 指或食指敲击取代原本的右手小指敲击， 同样减少了移动的距离， 避免了手腕的扭曲。 图 98 将空格键、 Backspace键、 Shift键和 Enter键纵向拉长的设计的优点是， 空格键、 Backspace 键、 Shift键和 Enter键的方向和大小， 用大拇指来敲击非常的方便、 高效和健康。 特别是 两个空格键的角度刚好是两手大拇指的摆放角度， 更加适合人体工学。
图 22至图 102的设计模板和设计举例中的 BF1键至 BF15键的长度可以根据具体的键盘 布局， 用户习惯和语言种类进行变动， 而不是固定的。 图 103至图 114是便携式设备的键盘平面布局示意图。 图 103是传统的布局， 扁长的键 盘下面是触摸板， 触摸板下面是鼠标左键和鼠标右键。这种键盘布局只有在采用大于 12英寸 的屏幕的时候才能提供全尺寸按键的键盘。 图 104是没有触摸板， 带触摸点的布局， 图 104 是用本发明的键盘做例子， 图 104的布局中， 键盘长度缩小了， 键盘高度增加了， 放得下全 尺寸的键盘按键。 图 105的布局中， 键盘长度缩小了， 键盘高度不变， 键盘下放置了触摸板， 鼠标左右键和触摸板合为一体。 图 106的布局中， 触摸板在键盘的内部中间， 鼠标左右键在 键盘下面。 图 107的布局中， 触摸板在键盘的内部中间， 鼠标左右键和触摸板合为一体。 图 108的布局中， 触摸板和鼠标左右键都在键盘的内部中间。 图 109的布局中， 触摸板在键盘 内部的右下角。 图 110和图 109布局一样， 只是触摸板的边缘超过键盘的边缘。 图 111触摸 板在键盘内部中间， 四周都有按键的示意图， 鼠标左右键和触摸板合为一体。 图 112是在图 109的基础上增加了触摸点； 图 113是在图 109的基础上， 在键盘内部， 触摸板的左边增加 鼠标左右键。 图 114是在键盘内部的右下角增加了四向方向单键， 在介绍区域 107的图例中 已经提到过。 方向单键类似在手机上使用的方向单键。 按方向单键上半部分代表光标向上移 动， 按方向单键下半部分代表光标向下移动， 按方向单键左半部分代表光标向左移动， 按方 向单键右半部分代表光标向右移动。 同时按住 Shift键（或 Fn键）和方向单键上半部分代表 Page Up键， 同时按住 Shift键 （或 Fn键） 和方向单键下半部分代表 Page Down键， 同时按 住 Shift键（或 Fn键）和方向单键左半部分代表 Home键， 同时按住 Shift键（或 Fn键）和 方向单键右半部分代表 End键。 上面的 Page Up键、 Page Down键、 Home键和 End键的定义 也可以互换， 上下代表 Home键和 End键； 左右代表 Page Up键和 Page Down键。 由上所述， 一个方向单键可以实现传统键盘上八个按键的功能， 大大节约了键位和空间。 还可以在 107 区域连续放置两个方向单键， 一个四向单键用来实现上下左右的光标移动， 另外一个四向单 键用来实现翻页键， 这样在按 Page Up键、 Page Down键、 Home键和 End键和就不需要同时 按 Shift键 （或 Fn键） 了。 图 77的两个方向单键设计得很大， 这种设计的优点一个是用户 在调节光标的时候更加方便， 另外一个优点是针对喜欢打游戏的用户这种大的四向单键非常 有用。 图 115是图 7用在 8英寸屏幕大小的设备上的例子。左边边界从传统键盘的数字行的" 1 " 键的左边开始， 右边的边界到传统键盘的 " ASDF"—行 L键右边的一个键， 通常为 "；"键右 边为止。 图 116是图 115的分区示意图， 区域 100为 27个倒梯形保留按键， 区域 102分为区 域 103、 区域 104和区域 105。 图 117是图 116的一个例子， 是区域 101增加一行的示意图。 图 117中区域 101可以为图 15-1和图 15-2中的任何一种。图 174是图 116的另外一个例子， 是区域 101高度不变的示意图， 也是图 3高度不变的设计例子。 图 118是图 116中区域 103 的设计模板， 图 119和图 120是图 116中区域 104的设计模板。 图 116中区域 105可以为图 16至图 102中的任何一种。 上述的图 116区域 101、 103、 104、 105的各种可能的设计的任 意组合， 都在本发明的保护范围内， 图 121是图 117的其中几个组合的设计模板的举例。 图 121中，标号字母 F代表 Function,通常代表数字键上那一排小功能键， F1至 F18表示序号。 标号字母 A代表 Add，代表增加的按键， 可以为任何的字符按键， A1至 A15代表序号。标号字 母 N代表 Number, 通常代表数字 0到数字 9的十个数字键， N1至 N10代表序号。 标号字母 C 代表 Character, 可以是字母键， 标点符号键， 功能键等任意的字符键； C1至 C39代表按键 的序号。 标号字母 BF代表 Big Function, 代表大的功能键， 通常代表 Backspace键、 Enter 键、 Shift键、 Ctrl键、 Alt键、 Systems键、 Fn键、 Alt Green键等， BFl至 BF15代表序 号。 标号字母 Cu代表 Cursor, 通常代表上下左右四个光标键和翻页键， Cul至 Cu8代表序 号。 标号字母 P代表 Punctuation, 通常代表标点符号键， P1至 P10代表序号。 图 121中都 是在数字键的上面增加了一排按键， 图 121中的例子是增加了 9个按键， 最右边是一个大的 功能键，用来放置 Backspace键。数字键的那一行最右边增加了一个标点符号键位。图 121_1、 图 121-3和图 121-4中的区域 104是图 119的例子； 图 121-2的区域 104是图 120的例子。 图 121-1和图 121-2的区域 107是图 33的例子；图 121-3的区域 107是图 37的例子；图 121-4 的区域 107是图 38的例子。图 122是图 121的设计模板的设计举例。其中图 122-1是图 121-1 的设计例子； 图 122-2是图 121-2的设计例子； 图 122-3至图 122-5是图 121-3的设计例子； 图 122-6是图 121-4的设计例子。
在图 122-4的例子中， 将 "〈"键和 ">"键合并； 将 " {"键和 "} "键合并； 将 " ["键 和 "] "键合并； 将 "（"键和 "） "键合并； 输入时敲击合并键， 等于同时输入 3个按键， 同 时输入这些成对键加上一个光标左键， 将光标自动置于成对键的中间。 因为用户在使用这些 键的时候通常都是成对使用， 合并这些键， 既方便用户少输入一次， 又增加一个键位可以放 置其它按键， 一举两得。 输入成对键后， 系统自动将光标置于成对键的中间位置， 方便用户 直接输入下一个内容。 另外双引号键和单引号键等其它成对使用的按键， 也可以用这种合并 按键方法， 系统可以设置成在按下双引号键后， 自动输入一对双引号 " "和一个光标左键， 将光标置于其中间， 这样既让用户少输入一次， 又可以避免有时候系统输入的引号不对称的 问题， 比如用户想输入右双引号的时候， 出来的是左双引号； 用户想输入左双引号的时候， 出来的却是右双引号。 合并的成对键， 需要单独输入其中一个的时候， 可以直接输入配合 Backspace键和 Delete键。 也可以用 Alt Green键， Shift键加 Alt Green键等和合并成对 键一起按下， 输入其中一个。
图 122-1和图 122-3至图 122-6中， 将逗号和句号合并在一个键位上， 单击输入逗号， 同时按下 Shift键， 输入句号。 也可以单击输入句号， 同时按下 Shift键， 输入逗号。
图 123 是图 7 用在 8 英寸屏幕大小的设备上的另外一个例子。 左边边界从传统键盘 "QWERTY"行的 "Q"键的左边开始， 右边边界到传统键盘 "QWERTY"行的 "P"键右边为止。 图 124是图 123的分区示意图， 图 125是图 124区域 101增加一行按键的例子。 图 126和图 127是图 124中区域 103的设计模板， 图 128是图 124中区域 104的设计模板。 图 129是图 125的几个设计模板的例子。 图 129中区域 101增加的一排按键， 增加了 8个按键。 其中图 129-1的区域 106是 4个功能键， 图 129-2至图 129-3的区域 106是 3个功能键。 图 129-4 的设计模板中，在空格键中间增加了一个功能键。 图 130-1是图 129-1的设计例子； 图 130-2 是图 129-2的设计例子； 图 130-3是图 129-3的设计例子； 图 130-4是图 129-4的设计例子。 图 130-1至图 130-3中， 将 M键右边的键位用来放置 Shift键。 图 130-4中将 Shift键放置 在 space键中间， 原来两边 Shift键的位置用来放置其它的键。 图 123至图 130是可以放置 传统 QWERTY全尺寸键盘按键的长度最短的设计。
8寸的布局例子中， 最上面一排小的功能键， 由于长度的限制不足 12个， 不足的小功能 键， 如 "Fl l " 、 "F12 "等可以合并到其它的小按键上用 "Fn"键并用的方式加以实现。 图 131是图 7用在 9英寸屏幕大小的设备上的一个例子。 左边边界从传统键盘的数字行 的 " 1 "键的左边开始， 右边的边界到传统键盘的 " QWERTY"—行 P键右边的一个键， 通常为 " {"键右边为止。 图 132是图 131的分区示意图， 图 133是图 132的区域 101增加一行的例 子。 图 177是图 132的区域 101高度不变的例子。 图 134是图 132中区域 103的设计模板， 图 135、 图 136和图 137是图 132中区域 104的设计模板。 图 138是图 133的几个设计模板 的例子， 图 138-1中的区域 104采用图 135的设计模板， 图 138-2中的区域 104采用图 136 的设计模板。 图 139-1是图 138-1的设计例子， 图 139-2是图 138-2的设计例子。
图 140是图 7用在 9英寸屏幕大小的设备上的另外一个例子。 左边边界从 TAB键左边开 始， 右边的边界到传统键盘的 " ASDF"—行 L键右边的一个键， 通常为 "；"键右边为止。 图 141是图 140的分区示意图， 图 142是图 141的区域 101增加一行的例子。 图 143和图 144 是图 141中的区域 103的设计模板。 图 145和图 146是图 141中的区域 104的设计模板。 图 147-1和图 147-2是图 142的两个设计模板的例子。图 148-1是图 147-1的设计例子，图 148-2 是图 147-2的设计例子。 图 149是图 7用在 10英寸屏幕大小的设备上的例子。左边边界从 TAB键左边开始， 右边 边界到 "ASDF"那一行的 L键右边第二个按键， 通常是引号键的右边为止。 图 150是图 149 的分区域示意图。 图 151是图 150的区域 101增加一行的例子。 图 180是图 150的区域 101 高度不变的例子。图 143和图 144是图 150中的区域 103的设计模板的例子。图 152至图 158 是图 150中的区域 104的设计模板的例子。 图 159是图 151中区域 101的增加的行的设计模 板。 图 159-1和图 159-2中增加的行设计了 12个键位； 图 159-1中增加行的按键和小功能键 的按键是分开的； 图 159-2 中增加行的第一个按键和小功能键的第一个按键是合并的。 图
159- 3和图 159-4中增加的行设计了 13个键位； 图 159-3中增加行的按键和小功能键的按键 是分开的； 图 159-4中增加行的第一个按键和小功能键的第一个按键是合并的。 图 159-1和 图 159-2的优点是每个增加的按键都大于等于标准按键的大小。 图 159-3和图 159-4的优点 是放置了 13个按键， 多了一个按键， 这对很多非英语的语言非常有帮助， 增加行的最右边三 个比较小的键位通常用来放置使用频率不高的标点符号。 图 159-2和图 159-4设计的优点是 有一个非常大的合并按键来放置 ESC键， 这样用户对于使用频率高的 ESC键， 敲击就更舒适。 图 160是数字行的两个设计模板的例子； 图 160-1在十个数字键之前有一个标点符号键； 图
160- 2只有十个数字键加上一个大功能键， 数字 " 1 "键加长了。 图 150中区域 101可以为图 13至图 15中的任何一种； 图 150中区域 105可以为图 16至图 102中的任何一种； 图 150中 区域 103可以为图 143和图 144中的任何一种； 图 150中区域 104可以为图 152至图 158中 的任何一种。 上述的区域 101、 103、 104、 105的各种可能的设计的任意组合， 都在本发明的 保护范围内， 图 161是其中几个常用组合的设计模板的举例。
图 161-1的增加行是图 159-1的模板， 数字行是图 160-1的模板， 103区域是图 143的 模板， 104区域是图 152的模板。 图 161-2其它部分和图 161-1是一样的， 增加行是图 159-2 的模板。 图 161-3其它部分和图 161-2是一样的， 区域 107是图 33的模板。 图 161-4基本和 图 161-2是一样的， 除了 A1按键的高度稍小， 还有区域 107是图 36中的模板。 图 161-5其 它部分和图 161-2是一样的， 区域 107是图 37中的模板。 图 161-6的区域 107是图 63中的 模板。图 161-7的区域 107是图 64中的模板。图 161-8的区域 107是图 67中的模板。图 161-9 的区域 107是图 68中的模板。 图 161-10其它部分和图 161-1是一样的， 区域 101增加的行 是 13个键位， 图 161-1至图 161-9中的各个模板的 101区域增加的行也可以替换成这种 13 个键位的设计。 图 161-11中的区域 105是图 20的模板， 区域 106是图 82的模板， 区域 108 是图 97的模板， 区域 107是图 86的模板。 图 161-12其它部分和图 161-11是一样的， 除了 区域 108是图 98的模板， 区域 107是图 85的模板。
图 162-1是图 161-2的设计例子。图 162-2是图 161-1的设计例子。图 162-1和图 162-2 中绝大部分字母键、 数字键、 功能键和传统 QWERTY键盘的大小和相对位置是一模一样的。 Backspace键比传统键盘离右手近 39mm， 右手伸开就可以用无名指直接敲击， 再也无须痛苦 的扭曲右手腕去敲击非常高频率的 Backspace键。 Enter键离右手近 19mm， 同样右手手腕也 无需扭曲， 伸开小手指就可以直接敲击 Enter键。 右 Shift键离右手近 19mm， 右手小指下移 就可直接敲击 Shift键， 手腕也无需扭曲。 C29键位的标点符号单引号和双引号近了一个键 位， 也离右手近了 19mm， 小指无需向右移动就可以直接敲击。 C27和 C28和多数欧洲语言的 键位布局是一样的， C27键位上是逗号和分号， C28键位上是句号和冒号。 图 162-2中 A1键 位增加了大的 ESC键， 图 162-1中的 A1键位的 ESC键是和小功能键合并后更大的 ESC键， 图 162-1和图 162-2的这种大 ESC键设计， 让用户使用这个常用键的时候更加舒适。 图 162-1 和图 162-2中增加了 Copy键和 Paste键， 更方便用户编辑文档。 相比一般的便携设备键盘， 有更大的 Del键和 Ins键。 图 162-3至图 162-16是区域 101的各种设计的例子， 这些例子中 的设计特征可以替换到其它设计模板和设计例子的区域 101中去。图 162-3是将" { } "和" [ ] " 这两对成对键合并， 空出一个键位放置货币符号， 图 162-3中举得是欧元和英镑的货币符号 的例子， 具体的设计可以根据键盘销售所在的国家和地区来设置当地市场的货币符号， 更方 便全球的用户输入自己国家和地区的货币符号。例如图 162-45中就是放置的人民币符号和日 元符号。图 162-4是将 Del键和 Ins键放置到增加行的最右边， Backspace键的上面。图 162_5 是将 Ins键放置到小功能键的一排上去， 空出一个键位放置货币符号。 图 162-6是将 Copy键 和 Paste键、 Del键和 Ins都放置到增加行的最右边。 图 162-7是在图 162-6的基础上将 Ins 键放置到小功能键的一排上去。 图 162-8是将 "？ "键和 "/"键分开倒两个键位上去， 这样 在敲击常用的 "？ "键的时候就可以直接敲击输入， 而不需要像传统键盘那样需要按 Shift 键。图 162-9的 ESC键稍微矮一点，且图 162-9的编辑键的顺序是 Ins键， Del键， Copy键， Paste 键， 这样设计的好处是 Copy键和 Paste键离左手中指更近， 敲击距离更短。这些编辑键除了 图 162-3和图 162-9的设计外， 还可以是其它的顺序安排。 图 162-9中还有一个设计特征就 是用 "Camera"功能键取代不太常用的 "Pause "键， 更方便的开关摄像头。 图 162-10第一 排小功能键没有 ESC键， 放置了 12个 Function键， 和 " Camera"功能键， 以及 " 3G"功能 键和 " WiFi "功能键， 更方便开关无线网络。 图 162-11是无大 ESC键， 空出给货币符号键的 设计。 图 162-12是无大 ESC键， 空出给 Cut键的设计。 图 162-13是将 ' 7"键放置在数字键 7的键位， 将 "？ "键放置在数字键 6的键位。 图 162-14至图 162-16是将标点符号键， 不 按照传统 QWERTY键盘的旧设计， 而是根据标点符号的使用频率重新设计， 将使用频率高的标 点符号， 设计成按键直接输入， 使用频率低的标点符号设计成按键加 Shift键输入。 这样使 得用户在输入时候， 更少的击键。 例如在图 162-14中常用的标点 "！"， "？ "， "_"， " （"， " )" 都可以直接单击输入。 在图 162-16中， 将常用的小挂号键合并在一个键上， 单击直接 输入一对 "（）"键加上光标左键， 将光标自动放置在挂号键中间。 同时按 Shift键并敲击， 输入较常用的 "）"键； 同时按 Alt Green键， 输入 "（"键。 复合键输入单个挂号的， 可以 根据语言、 以及用户的习惯进行其它的定义， 上面的按 Shift键和 Alt Green键输入， 只是 举例。 除了小挂号键， 其它的成对键也可以进行这样的设置。
图 162-17和图 162-18的 101区域是图 15_2的设计例子， 增加的一行在数字键下面。就 使用频率来看， 很多标点符号的使用频率是大于数字的， 图 162-17和图 162-18这样设计的 优点是使用户输入标点符号速度更快， 更方便。
图 162-19最大程度保留标准 QWERTY英文键盘键位的设计， 其中 C27， C28, C29这三个标 点符号键位上的标点符号和标准 QWERTY英文键盘上是一模一样的。 Del键和 Ins键也保留在 Backspace键上方的位置。这种设计的优点是用户学习新键盘布局的学习曲线最短。图 162-20 和图 162-19其它地方都一样， 只是 Del键和 Ins键的位置不一样。 图 162-21和图 162-20其 它地方都一样，只是 C29的键位放置的是标点符号' 7"键和"？ "键。图 162-22a和图 162_22b 是 C27， C28, C29这三个标点符号键位另外两种设计例子。
图 162-23的区域 104是用图 154的设计模板； 图 162-24的区域 104是用图 155的设计 模板； 图 162-25的区域 104是用图 157的设计模板； 图 162-26的区域 104是用图 156的设 计模板； 图 162-50的区域 104是用图 153的设计模板； 图 162-51的区域 104是用图 158的 设计模板。图 162-52是 M键旁三个标点符号键缩小的例子。图 162-53的区域 103是用图 144 的设计模板。
图 162-27和图 162-28的 107区域是用图 33的设计模板， 只是 Alt Green键的宽度不一 样； 图 162-29的 107区域是用图 36的设计模板； 图 162-30和图 162-31的 107区域是用图 37的设计模板； 图 162-32的 107区域是用图 38的设计模板。 图 162-33的 107区域是用图 67的设计模板。 图 162-34的 107区域是用图 68的设计模板。 图 162-35的 107区域是用图 77的设计例子。 图 162-35的标点符号键也经过优化设计， "！"、 "？ "、 " ( )"、 "_ "都可以 直接输入， 无需按 Shift键。 图 162-36至图 162-38的 107区域是用图 64的设计模板。
图 162-30还举了字母键上带数字小键的设计例子。
图 162-27至图 162-38这种设计的优点是空格键够长， 超过 M字母键的半个键， 或者超 过整个 M字母键，这样右手的大拇指放置的空间足够，对手腕比较舒服。图 162-33至图 162-38 这种设计的优点是空格键加高了， 大拇指敲击起来非常舒服。
图 162-37至图 162-52的 101区域是增加的行有 13个键位的设计例子。图 162-37的 C27， C28， C29三个标点符号键保留了欧洲语言键盘的布局; 图 162-38的 C27， C28， C29三个标 点符号键保留了英语语言键盘的布局。图 162-39至图 162-44是增加的行有 13个键位的各种 标点符号布局的设计例子。 图 162-40是大 ESC键的设计； 图 162-41至图 162-43增加了 Cut 键。 图 162-45的三个标点符号键保留了英语语言键盘的布局， 且货币符号键位为中国和日本 的货币符号。 图 162-46至图 162-49是汉字应用的键盘设计例子， 这种设计可以用在中国， 日本， 韩国， 台湾， 新加波等使用汉字的市场。 图 162-46增加了汉字的 5个基本笔画 "横竖 撇点折"， 图 162-47增加了汉字的 10个基本笔画， 直接敲击是输入 "横竖撇点折"； 同时按 Shift键和 "横"键是输入 "提 "； 同时按 Shift键和 "竖"键是输入 "竖勾"； 同时按 Shift 键和 "撇"键是输入 "竖提"； 同时按 Shift键和 "点"键是输入 "捺 "； 同时按 Shift键和 "横折 "键是输入 "竖折"。 图 162-47只是例子， 同时按 Shift键和笔画键， 可以是其它笔 画或部首， 例如图 162- 48是 "金木水火土"五个部首。 图 162-48是没有 ESC、 COPY, PASTE 键， 数字键不用复合输入的例子； 图 162-46至图 162-49中的其它设计是数字键复合输入其 它标点符号的例子。图 162-49中的 100区域，是采用的将字母按照字母顺序排列的设计方法， 是图 12-1的例子。
图 162-54至图 162-55是 108区域不同的设计例子。 图 162-54是图 161-11的设计模板 的设计例子； 图 162-55是图 161-12的设计模板的设计例子； 这种设计的优点在描述图 96至 图 102时已经介绍过。 图 163是图 7用在 11英寸屏幕大小的设备上的例子，左边边界从传统键盘的 TAB键的左 边开始， 右边的边界到传统键盘的 " QWERTY"—行 P键右边的第二个键的右边， 通常为 "} " 键右边为止。 图 164是图 163的分区示意图； 图 165是图 164的区域 101增加一行的例子； 图 183是图 164的区域高度不变的例子。 图 143和图 144是图 164的区域 103的设计模板。 图 166至图 169是图 164的区域 104的设计模板。 图 170-1至图 170-3是区域 101的设计模 板； 都在增加的一行中安排了 13个键位。 图 170-2的数字键的行放置了 2个标点符号键。 图
170- 3的第一个小功能键和增加行的第一个键合并成一个大键 Al。 图 171-1至图 171-4是图 165的几个设计模板。图 172-1至图 172-6是图 171的几个设计例子，其中图 172-1至图 172-3 是图 171-1的设计例子； 图 172-4是设计模板图 171-2的设计例子； 图 172-5是设计模板图

图 183是图 3设计原理的 11英寸的例子， 是图 164的键盘高度不变的例子， 图 184是图 183的设计模板的一个例子， 图 185是图 184的设计举例。 图 186是本发明的新型 ABCD键盘设计原理图， 其中间按键区域 200是正梯形。这种设计 的优点是左手按键区域是向右上倾斜， 左手的手腕在击键的时候无需向左扭曲； 右手按键区 域是向左上倾斜， 右手的手腕在击键的时候无需向右扭曲。
图 187是区域 200的三排正梯形的设计模板， 图 188-1、 图 188-2、 图 188-3是图 187的 三个设计例子。 图 188-1和图 188-2是按字母表的顺序排列， 第一排为字母 A至字母 G; 第 二排为字母 H至字母 Q; 第三排为字母 R至字母 Z。 图 188-3是传统 QWER键盘的改进， 将字 母 Q从第一排转移到第三排的字母 Z的左边。
图 188-1中， 定位键是 1(和 左手小指负责字母 H， 及两个标点符号键； 左手无名指负 责字母 A、 字母 I、 字母 R; 左手中指负责字母 B、 字母 J、 字母 S; 左手食指负责字母 C、 字 母 K、 字母 Τ、 字母 D、 字母 L、 字母 U; 右手食指负责字母 E、 字母 N、 字母 X、 字母 M、 字 母 字母 V； 右手中指负责字母 F、 字母 0、 字母 Y; 右手无名指负责字母 G、 字母 P、 字母 Z; 右手小指负责字母 Q， 及两个标点符号键。
图 188-2中， 定位键是】和 左手小指不负责字母； 左手无名指负责字母 A、 字母 H、 字母 R; 左手中指负责字母 B、 字母 I、 字母 S; 左手食指负责字母 C、 字母 J、 字母 T、 字母 D、 字母 K、 字母 U; 右手食指负责字母 Ε、 字母 Μ、 字母 X、 字母 L、 字母 W、 字母 V； 右手中 指负责字母 F、 字母 N、 字母 Y; 右手无名指负责字母 G、 字母 0、 字母 Z; 右手小指负责字母 P、 字母 Q。
图 188-3中， 右手负责的字母和传统的 QWERTY键盘一样， 左手方向改善成向右上倾斜。 左手小指负责字母 W、 字母 A、 字母 Q; 左手无名指负责字母 E、 字母 S、 字母 Z; 左手中指负 责字母 R、 字母 D、 字母 X; 左手食指负责字母 T、 字母 F、 字母 C、 字母 G、 字母 V、 字母 B。 图 189是区域 200的四排正梯形的设计模板， 第四排只有右半边有字母。 图 190-1和图 190-2是图 189的两个设计例子。 图 190-1和图 190-2是图 189是按字母表的顺序排列， 第 一排为字母 A至字母 G; 第二排为字母 H至字母 N; 第三排为字母 0至字母 W; 第四排为字母 X至字母 Z。
图 190-1中， 定位键是】和 左手小指不负责字母； 左手无名指负责字母 A、 字母 H、 字母 0; 左手中指负责字母 B、 字母 I、 字母 P; 左手食指负责字母 C、 字母 J、 字母 Q、 字母 D、 字母 K、 字母 R; 右手食指负责字母 Ε、 字母 Μ、 字母 U、 字母 X、 字母 L、 字母 S、 字母 T; 右手中指负责字母 F、 字母 N、 字母 V、 字母 Y; 右手无名指负责字母 G、 字母 W、 字母 Z; 右 手小指不负责字母。
图 190-2中， 定位键是】和 左手的各个手指负责的字母和图 190-1中是一样的； 右 手食指负责字母5、 字母 L、 字母 U、 字母 X、 字母 S、 字母 T; 右手中指负责字母 F、 字母 M、 字母 V、 字母 Y; 右手无名指负责字母 G、 字母 N、 字母 W、 字母 Z; 右手小指不负责字母。 图 191是区域 200的四排正梯形的设计模板，第四排左半边和右半边都有字母。图 192-1 和图 192-2是图 191的两个设计例子。图 192-1和图 192-2是图 191是按字母表的顺序排列， 第一排为字母 A至字母 G; 第二排为字母 H至字母 N; 第三排为字母 0至字母 T; 第四排为字 母 U至字母 Z。
图 192-1中， 定位键是】和 左手小指不负责字母； 左手无名指负责字母 A、 字母 H、 字母 0、 字母 U; 左手中指负责字母 B、 字母 I、 字母 P、 字母 V； 左手食指负责字母 C、 字母 J、 字母 Q、 字母 W、 字母 D、 字母 K; 右手食指负责字母 E、 字母 M、 字母 R、 字母 X、 字母 L; 右手中指负责字母 F、 字母 N、 字母 S、 字母 Y; 右手无名指负责字母 G、 字母 T、 字母 Ζ; 右 手小指不负责字母。
图 192-2中， 定位键是】和 左手的各个手指负责的字母和图 192-1中是一样的； 右 手食指负责字母5、 字母 L、 字母 R、 字母 X； 右手中指负责字母 F、 字母 M、 字母 S、 字母 Y; 右手无名指负责字母 G、 字母 N、 字母 T、 字母 Ζ; 右手小指不负责字母。 图 192-2的设计， 字母是最容易记忆的， 左手无名指， 中指， 食指三个手指分别负责第一排的 "ABCD" 四个字 母； 第二排的 "HIJK" 四个字母； 第三排的 " 0PQ"三个字母； 第四排的 "謂"三个字母。 右手的食指， 中指， 无名指三个手指分别负责第一排的 "EFG" 三个字母； 第二排的 "LMN" 三个字母； 第三排的 "RST"三个字母； 第四排的 "ΧΥΖ"三个字母。 从图 188、 图 190、 图 192可以看出， 本发明的设计思想是字母排列完全按照字母表的顺 序， 且各行和各区域之间的间断处， 就是字母表本身的间断处。 如 ABCDEFG和 HIGKLMN之间 的间断； HIGKLMN和 0PQRST之间的间断；或者 0PQRST和 UVWXYZ之间的间断；或者謂和 XYZ 之间的间断等。 符合字母本身的记忆习惯。 另外两种 ABCD字母顺序的排列设计， 一种如图 206-1， 第一行和第二行的间断处在字母 J和字母 K之间， 第二行和第三行的间断处在字母 S 和字母 T之间， 都不符合记忆习惯。而且其布局是基于 QWERTY式键盘而来， 其左手手腕向左 扭曲的问题仍然存在。 而且这个键盘布局， 两个高频字母 A和 T都是左手小指来负责， 且都 不在中间行， 加上左手小指击键最需要左手手腕向左扭曲， 对健康很不好， 且效率和速度很 差。 字母的记忆顺序也没有本发明的布局更容易记忆。
另外一种 John Parkinson设计的 NSK 535键盘布局， 如图 206-2。 虽然也是按照 ABCD 的字母表顺序排列， 但是它的设计是先排左边区域， 再排右边区域。 键盘左边区域， 第二行 和第三行之间的间断处在字母 H和字母 I之间； 左边区域和右边区域的间断处在字母 M和字 母 N之间；右边区域的第二行和第三行的间断处在字母 U和字母 V之间； 都不符合记忆习惯。 所以其易学性大打折扣。而且其布局如果不分左右区域而是整行来看的话， 也是杂乱无章的， 比如第一行为 ABCDN0PQ, 第二行为 EFGHRSTU, 第三行为 IJKLMVWXYZ。 也是不太容易记忆的。 且这个 NSK 535键盘的效率更低， 因为它的设计有三个高频字母4 E I是由左手的小指来 负责的。 虽然 NSK 535键盘设计成左边区域的按键是向右上倾斜的， 所以左手的手腕不会太 痛， 解决了健康问题， 但是效率问题没有解决。 由表一可以看出， 本发明的布局字母不仅横向排列符合字母表顺序， 纵向排列也和字母 表中的顺序对应。 非常容易学习和记忆。对于初学键盘使用的用户来说， 学习曲线最短最快， 最不容易遗忘。 本发明的 QWERTY键盘， 解决了传统 QWERTY键盘的右手手腕扭曲的问题； 本 发明的 ABCD键盘同时解决了左手手腕扭曲和右手手腕扭曲的问题。

Figure imgf000019_0003
从表二可以看出， 本发明的惠道键盘左手和右手使用很对称； 且小指几乎不用来敲击字 母。 QWERTY式 ABCD键盘左右手最不对称， 左手使用情况占 66% NSK 535键盘小指使用高达 30% DVORAK键盘和 MALT键盘的小指使用也是标准的 QWERTY式键盘的将近两倍。
表三列出了各种键盘布局每行字母所占的频率。 从表三中看出， 本发明的键盘各行使用 的频率很平均， 都在 30%左右。 标准 QWERTY式顶行太高， 占 50% DVORAK键盘和 MALT键盘 中间行很高， 有无需在不同行间移动手指的优点。

从表四中看出，只有本发明的 ABCD键盘同时解决了易学、健康、速度和成本这四个问题。 图 186中， 区域 200可以是图 187至图 192中的任何一种； 区域 101可以是图 13至图 15中的任何一种； 区域 105可以是图 16至图 102中的任何一种； 区域 103和区域 104也可 以是相应布局下任意的键位组合； 以上 101、 103、 104、 105、 200的任意组合， 都在本发明 的保护范围内。
图 193-1至图 193-14是图 186的常用的设计模板的例子， 图 194-1至图 194-30是这些 设计模板的具体设计举例。 设计模板图 193-1， 区域 200是用图 188-1的设计， 区域 101是 采用图 15-2增加行在数字行之下的设计，图 194-1是图 193-1的设计例子。设计模板图 193-2， 区域 200是用图 188-1的设计，区域 101是采用图 15-1增加行在数字行之上的设计，图 194-2 和图 194-3是图 193-2的设计例子， 其中图 194-3增加了汉字的笔画键。 设计模板图 193-3， 区域 200是用图 189的设计， 图 194-4和图 194-5是图 193-3的设计例子， 其中图 194-4的 区域 200是采用图 190-1的设计， 图 194-5的区域 200是采用图 190-2的设计。
设计模板图 193-4至图 193-11的区域 200是采用图 187的设计。 图 193-4、 图 193-5和 图 193-6列出了数字行的键位排列的几种不同的设计模板；图 193-7是区域 103的不同设计； 图 193-8是区域 105采用图 89和图 96的设计模板； 图 193-9是区域 105采用图 88和图 96 的设计模板； 图 193-10是区域 105采用图 88和图 98的设计模板； 图 193-11是区域 105采 用图 89和图 98的设计模板。 图 194-6、 图 194-7和图 194-8是图 193-4的设计举例， 数字 行 " 1 "键加长了。 图 194-6和图 194-7的区域 200是采用图 188-2的设计； 图 194-8的区域 200是采用图 188-3的设计。 图 194-9是图 193-5的设计例子。 图 194-10和图 194-11是图
193- 6的设计例子， Backspace键放置在数字的左边， 使得数字的排列和手指负责的字母相对 应。 图 194-12和图 194-13是图 193-7的设计例子， 有更大的 TAB键。 图 194-14是图 193-8 的设计例子； 图 194-15和图 194-16是图 193-9的设计例子。 图 194-17是图 193-10的设计 例子； 图 194-18是图 193-11的设计例子。 图 194-7举了一个图 188-2这种字母排布对应小 数字键的例子。
设计模板图 193-12和图 193-13的区域 200是采用图 191的设计， 且将区域 104专门用 来放置数字小键盘。其中图 193-12的数字小键盘区域采用的是电脑外置键盘上右边的数字小 键盘排列顺序， 图 193-13的数字小键盘区域采用的是类似手机上的数字键排列顺序。这种设 计的优点在于在 235mm的长度内既提供了最易学易用的字母排列顺序， 而且提供了单独的数 字小键盘区域， 让输入数字更加方便。 图 193-12和图 193-13中的数字小键盘区域还可以替 换成触摸板， 提供大于 3英寸的触摸板。 图 194-19至图 194-27是设计模板图 193-12的几个 设计例子， 其中图 194-19、 图 194-20和图 194-21的区域 200采用的是图 192-1的设计； 图

设计模板图 193-14的区域 200是采用图 191的设计， 不带数字小键盘。 图 194-28至图 194-30是图 193-14的设计例子。其中图 194-28的区域 200是采用图 192-1的设计，图 194-29 和图 194-30的区域 200是采用图 192-2的设计。 图 194-30中的字母键上放置了小数字； 图 194-5中的字母上的小数字也可以采用同样的字母小数字对应。 图 194-28至图 194-30中将 Shift键、 Enter键、 Backspace键放置在键盘中间， 由食指或者大拇指负责， 更快更健康； Enter键和 Backspace键可互换位置。
图 193和图 194都是本发明的新型 ABCD键盘， 针对设计原理图 2， 键盘高度增加的设计 例子。本发明的新型 ABCD键盘也可以如设计原理图 3—样设计键盘高度不变的布局， 方法同 本发明的小型 QWERTY键盘在图 174至图 185中所示的一样。 图 195-1 至图 195-10是传统的 QWERTY键盘内部带触摸板的设计模板的例子。 其中图
195- 1、图 195-3、图 195-5、图 195-6、图 195-7是图 109的布局的例子。图 195-2和图 195-4 是图 110的布局的例子。 图 195-8和图 195-9是图 107的例子。 图 195-10是图 108的例子。

Figure imgf000022_0001
从图 203中可以看出， 由于在数字键上增加了一排按键， 总键位为 87键， 比传统的欧洲 语言 85键键盘多了两个键， 这对于字母数大于 26个的语言种类， 以及带有更多的标点符号 的语言种类， 多两个键位放置字母和标点符号是非常有帮助的， 加上本发明的合并成对使用 的按键的方法， 可以多出 2到 5个键位放置字母和标点符号。减少这些语言复合按键的次数， 加快用户输入的速度。
图 203-22的韩语键盘也可以和图 203-19至图 203-21的日语一样有三种按键布局。 图 204-1至图 204-6是图 186所示的 ABCD键盘布局的西班牙语键盘的几个设计例子。图 204-7至图 204-10是图 186所示的 ABCD键盘布局的日语键盘的几个设计例子。 除了本发明 所列举的英语、 日语和西班牙语 ABCD键盘设计， 其它任何语言都可以参照本发明的设计思想 和设计方法， 参照本发明的设计模板， 设计这种语言的 ABCD键盘， 限于篇幅， 就不再一一举 例， 但都在本发明的保护范围内。 本发明的说明书中所述的几寸设备是指的设备的外围尺寸， 而不是指设备所采用的屏幕 尺寸的大小。 根据本发明的方法， 可以在相应大小的屏幕设备上， 屏幕两边几乎没有任何边 框的情况下， 放置下相应大小尺寸的本发明的设计布局。 由于屏幕两边几乎没有任何边框， 所以产品看起来非常美观， 屏幕看起来也更大。 另外本发明的键盘布局可以放置在更大尺寸 的设备上。 例如 10寸的键盘， 放置在所有大于 10寸的设备上， 增加键盘的通用性和减低量 产成本。 另外本发明的键盘也可以做成外置键盘。
