Title:
迅速テキストタイピングをサポートするハンドヘルド装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004534425
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention comprises a hand-held device with multiple keys on its face ("face-keys") and with one or more buttons on its side ("side-buttons"). A user types a character (or invokes a function) by pressing one of the face-keys using a finger on the hand that is not holding the device while simultaneously holding in combinations of the side-buttons with fingers on the hand that is holding the device. Pressing a face-key without holding in any of the side-keys produces a given character (or function). Pressing the same face-key while simultaneously holding in a given combination of the side-keys can result in a different character (or function). The invention allows for faster typing of text on cell phone handsets and other hand-held devices.
