NEW COMPUTER KEYBOARD LAYOUT, STRUCTURE AND ARRANGEMENT OF LETTERS, OPTIMIZED FOR TOUCHSCREEN DEVICES (PHONE CELLS, SMARTPHONES, TABLETS, CAR NAVIGATION SYSTEMS, ETC) OR FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES LIKE TICKET MACHINES, CASH MACHINES AND SIMILAR

摘要

The invention provides a way to optimize and increase typing speed for smartphones during SMS or mail writing given that the existing methods are not optimized and they often cause difficulties, limitations or slow text insertion. The technical problem to solve is“to develop an intelligent keyboard that is fast and intuitive, designed for devices using either a touchscreen keyboard (cell phones, smartphones and tablets as well as ticket emission machines, ATM machines, etc.) or a physical keyboard (many smartphones, old generation cell phones), which are used mostly with a single hand or even with a single finger in case of smaller devices”. The solution to this problem originates from blending together the following ideas:•1) Creation of a new, well proportioned layout featuring hexagonal cells that is designed to diminish the distance traveled by the finger in order to reach all the keys in order to increase the typing speed;•2) Study of cryptoanalysis, i.e. the use frequency of letters in different languages. Deciding the position of the letters in the above layout in an intelligent way visibly improves the efficiency, the intuitive use and speed of use as well as the use of intuitive and innate mechanisms of our brain such as mental associating and linking•3) Completely changing the classic QWERTY layout by moving the space key in the center of the new ad-hoc created layout and adding a bigger number of alphanumeric symbols thanks to the easily interchangeable supplementary layouts having the same structure. Application of this invention ranges from telecommunications to any industrial appliance having a virtual keyboard, from teaching to information exchange.
