KEYBOARD FOR QUICK LEARNING OF TOUCH TYPING AND RAPID DATA ENTRY INTO COMPUTER, MOBILE PHONE AND SIMILAR INVENTIONS
Technical field which invention refers to
The invention belongs to category of computer and telecommunication industry in general, in other words to computer data processing and refers to keyboard for quick learning of touch typing and rapid data entry into computer, mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA) and similar inventions.
By International Patent Classification (IPC), this invention is classified, more exactly classified and marked by symbols as (7)G06F 3/02, G06F 3/023, B41J 5/10 i HOlH 13/ 70.
Technical problem
Technical problem which is to be solved by the invention consists of the following: solving of disposition of keys and letter symbols on keyboard in constructional and ergonomic way in order to enable learning of touch typing, just for one day, and to significantly accelerate and alleviate data entry into computer, mobile phone and similar inventions.
Backround art
By examining of documentation holdings of Bureau of Intellectual Property and checking of technical literature, similar solution of this problem was not found.
Common keyboards have diagonal disposition of keys, with letters in QWERTY(Z) order. Such disposition is identical with typewriters and it is 138 (one hundred and thirty-eight) years old.
Main disadvantages of such keyboards are diagonal key disposition, keys are not clearly positioned for left and right hand, fingers are not clearly assigned to keys on keyboard and letters

on keys are illogically disposed. Outcome of everything mentioned is that touch typing has to be learned at one month courses, at least, with great efforts.
New keyboards, despite all attempts in eliminating of disadvantages, such as division of keys into left and right hand, vertical disposition of keys or DVORAK key disposition did not contributed to reduction of time necessary for learning of touch typing nor alleviate keyboard usage. For example, companies like Kinesis, Fitaly, etc.
Example of solution, described in the patent US2001021332 of the company IBM (US) which shows and describes disposition of keys in shape of one hand is complicated for learning, not functional, constructively complicated, expensive for production and does not enable more quickly learning of touch typing in regard to existing keyboards. In the patent WO 01/27732 Al the problem of vertical disposition and division of keys into left and right hand is solved by more complicated way, but disposition of letters on keys is not solved so that touch typing is still difficult to learn. In patent US 5178477 is showed and described the keyboard which is ergonomic, but disposition of letters on keys is not solved so it requires long-time training for touch typing. In the patent CA 2 448 420 Al there is Dvorak key disposition on the keyboard which also does not enable quick learning of touch typing.
By analyzing of disadvantages of these solutions, we came to conclusion that offered solution is completely different from all known solutions.
Summary of the invention
The essence of the project is as it follows. First, keys are vertical and divided into three groups for left hand, for right hand and for both hands and second, letters on the keys are arranged in words easy to remember.
Key group for left hand consists of twelve keys arranged in three rows and four columns. Key group for right hand also consists of twelve keys arranged in three rows and four columns. Between them, there is key group for both hands which is divided into three rows and two columns, which could be dropped one row down in different variants of realization. Because of ergonomics, key groups could be separated and/or curved, in other words, arranged in different angles on vertical axis. Three key groups are very important in order to determine what each finger on left and right hand types.
Letters are positioned onto all three key groups so that rows of keys form nine (9) easy-to- remember English words and abbreviations containing complete English alphabet. There are four (4) empty keys, which could be assigned letters from other languages.
This solution makes possible learning of touch typing just for one day, without any users training.

Detailed description of the invention
The keyboard for quick learning of touch typing and rapid data entry into computer, mobile phone or similar inventions, shown on the figure 1, with numeric and functional keys included, consists of vertically positioned keys into three groups: group (1) of keys for left hand, group (2)
of keys for right hand and group (3) of keys for both hands. Group (1) of keys for left hand consists of twelve keys positioned in three rows and four columns a, b, c, d. Column_a is typed with the little finger, column b is typed with the ring finger, column c is typed with the middle finger and column d with the index finger. Column a_is empty and reserved for additional letters which are not present in English alphabet. In column b in up-down order, are letters J, A, F3 in column c letters Q, E, C and in column d letters B, I, D forming easy-to-remember words JQB, CD and the line of vowels A, E, I. Group (2) of keys for right hand consists of twelve keys positioned in three rows and four columns g, h, i, j. Column g is typed with the index finger, column h is typed with the middle finger, column i__Is typed with the ring finger and column j is typed with the little finger. In column g in up-down order are letters R, S, M, in column h letters L, U, T, in column Letters N, Z, V and in column jjetters G, Y and empty key forming easy-to-remember words RLNG, SUZY and MTV. Group (3) of keys for both hands consists of six keys positioned in three rows and two columns e, f. Column e is typed with left index finger and column f with right index finger. In column e in up-down order are letters X, O, W, in column f letters P, K, H, forming easy-to-remember words XP, OK, WH.
According to second way of realization shown on figure 2, group (3) of keys for both hands is dropped one row down with the same disposition of letters.
According to third way of realization shown on figure 3, in group (3) of keys for both hands columns e and f are moved apart on vertical axis 0-0, with the same disposition of letters.
According to fourth way of realization shown on figure 4, groups (1), (2), (3) of keys are curved on vertical axis O-O.
According to fifth way of realization shown on the figure 5, groups (1, 2) of keys are curved on vertical axis O-O and group (3) of keys,
Group (3) of keys for both hands could be dropped one row down, moved apart on vertical axis 0-0 or curved or mutually combined.
Vertical disposition of keys is necessary in order to realize what each finger types. Each finger types three keys in column divided into easy-to-remember words and it is identical for all previous figures.
The keyboard with the second way of disposition of letters is shown on the figure 6. Keys in columns b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j have letters M, A, F, T, E, C, V, I, D, X, O, W, P, K, H, R, S, J, L, U, Q, N, Z, B, G, Y, respectively, forming easy-to-remember words and abbreviations.
The keyboard with the third way of disposition of letters is shown on the figure 7. Keys in columns b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j have letters J, A5 C, Q, I, D3 B, E5 R, F, O, W, X, K, H, P, S5 M, L5 U5 T, N, Z5 V, G5 Y5 respectively, forming easy-to-remember words and abbreviations.
New suggested keyboard is easy-to-use, and due to its vertical disposition of keys and division into groups (I5 2, 3) of keys, as well as its disposition of letters into words which are easy to remember, it is easy to learn what each finger types, which is essential for touch typing. Column a is typed with the little finger, column b is typed with the ring finger, column c with the middle finger and column d with the index finger. Column a is empty and reserved for additional letters which are not present in English alphabet. Column g is typed with the index finger and column h with middle finger, column i is typed with the ring finger and column j is typed with the little finger. Column e is typed with the left index finger and column f with the right index finger.
On the occasion of the keyboard usage the keys Q5 L5 should be marked as O, I5 with removing labels, in order to form words JOB5 RING, which are easy-to-remember.
Besides these variants, there are other dispositions of letters, which obviously come out from above mention words, which are also included in the framework of this invention.
