Abstract

A keyboard key arrangement method and a hand-held electronic device using such a method are provided. The method is applied to a hand-held electronic device which has a touch screen, wherein the touch screen is capable of displaying a virtual keyboard. A user uses four fingers except for the thumb of each hand to hold the hand-held electronic device, and uses the two thumbs to touch and control the virtual keyboard for inputting data. The virtue keyboard key arrangement method first summarizes use frequency of each key on the virtual keyboard and generates a key use frequency chart, analyzes comfort indexes of the two thumbs of a user touching different key positions of the virtual keyboard and generates a comfort index chart, and finally arranges the virtual keys with relatively high use frequency at positions with relatively high comfort level on the virtual keyboard according to the key use frequency chart and the comfort index chart.
