Abstract: Rules of operation for a first keyboard having a small number of keys based which exploit user familiarity with the physical layout and operation of a second keyboard having a much greater number of keys. The second keyboard is a familiar keyboard such as a QWERTY keyboard or a phone keypad, and the rules of operation for the first keyboard reflect the location of the keys of the second keyboard that are used to enter specific text characters and how those keys are operated to enter them. This method can apply to keyboards operating under predictive text algorithms, and enables modification of existing predictive text algorithms by enabling correction of incorrect guesses starting at different points in a guessed word, including from the first letter in the word. The rules of operation enable construction of keyboards with very few keys that are easy to master and efficient to operate.

Abstract: The one-handed computer interface device is a computer input device that allows the user to input a full range of computer commands using only one hand. The one-handed computer interface device includes a housing having opposed upper and lower surfaces and at least one side surface. The upper surface of the housing is divided into a plurality of finger regions, with each finger region being adapted for receiving one of the user's fingers. Similarly, a thumb region is further defined on the at least one side surface, with the thumb region being adapted for receiving the user's thumb. A plurality of sets of finger tip sensors and a set of thumb tip sensors are respectively positioned within each finger region and the thumb region. In use, actuation of one of the finger tip and thumb tip sensors generates a command signal corresponding to actuation of a computer key.

Abstract: An improved keyboard layout for use with information handling systems such as ultra mobile information handling systems. The improved keyboard layout eliminates the numbered function key (F1-F12) row and maps all of the functions that have traditionally been function (Fn) options on the F1-F12 row (such as brightness, volume, battery meter, etc.) to other keys.

Abstract: A “Fn” key included in control keys is located adjacent to, for example, a first cursor movement key (for leftward movement) which is located on the right side of a space bar. A second cursor movement key (for rightward movement), a third cursor movement key (for upward movement) and a fourth cursor movement key (for downward movement) are arranged adjacent to the first cursor movement key. The arrangement of some data keys and control keys is adjusted so that the space bar can be situated in a predetermined position in the keyboard. When one of the first through fourth cursor movement keys is depressed with the Fn key depressed, a keyboard controller generates a key code with a control function corresponding to the combination of the depressed keys.

Abstract translation: 包括在控制键中的“Fn”键位于例如位于空格键右侧的第一光标移动键（用于向左移动）。 第二光标移动键（用于向右移动），第三光标移动键（用于向上移动）和第四光标移动键（用于向下移动）被布置为与第一光标移动键相邻。 调整一些数据键和控制键的布置，使得空格键可以位于键盘中的预定位置。 当按下Fn键时按下第一至第四光标移动键中的一个，键盘控制器产生具有与所按下的键的组合对应的控制功能的键码。

Abstract: This invention provides a key-code outputting apparatus for a data processor of the type wherein two or more kinds of characters are assigned to each key of a keyboard connected to the data processor, and different kinds of characters can be inputted from one key by using a character input mode or by using conjointly a function key and a shift key. The key-code outputting apparatus includes a memory for managing a correspondence for each character input mode so that a key-code generated by a key address of the same character inputted from a keyboard of a different kind becomes the same as a key-code generated by the key address inputted from a keyboard having a key arrangement assumed by a data processing program. The key-code outputting apparatus judges the kind of the keyboard, then judges the character input mode used by the data processing program, reads out the key-code in the key arrangement assumed by the data processing program and indicated by the key address inputted from the keyboard on the basis of the judgement result and the correspondence and outputs it to the data processing program. As a result, a correct key-code can be applied to the data processing program even when the key arrangement of the keyboard connected to the data processor is different from the key arrangement assumed by the data processing program inside the data processor.

Abstract: Architecture for enabling continuous operation of a control command issued by a control input (e.g., a control key on a computer keyboard or game controller). For example, for a user of a software application (e.g., a gaming application), an activation modifier is used for enabling continuous operation of the control command. The activation modifier can be a lock key or other type of input used in combination with the control key. During continuous operation of the control command, one or more alternate control inputs (e.g., from alternate control keys) are enabled to concurrently issue alternate control commands to the software application.
