欧州特許弁護士 Alec Messulam 氏のコメント
The invention of this application is concerned with how one can emulate the
layout of a QWERTY keyboard, i.e. one with a conventional typewrite
keyboard layout designed for use with ten fingers, using a telephone keypad
or remote controller having three columns and four rows. It has previously
been proposed to use one key to select more than one character but even if
each key can select three alphanumeric characters that still only allows for
nine characters per row, whereas a QWERTY keyboard requires eleven. .
The solution offered by the invention is to place characters between keys and to
require two adjacent keys to be depressed simultaneously in order to record
a keystroke. Nowhere in the prior art has it been suggested to use the tip of
one finger to press two keys simultaneously. Shift, Alt and Ctrl keys on a
keyboard are actuated at the same time as other keys but not using the tip of
the same finger, indeed not even using two fingers of the same hand. .
The invention offers for the first time, the possibility of one finger text entry using
a keypad having the layout of a conventional telephone while allowing the
operator to find all the characters intuitively in the same relative positions
as they would occupy on a conventional ten-finger keyboard. Neither this
objective, nor the method by which it has been achieved is suggested by the
prior art. .
