Embodiment Construction

[0019] As shown in Figure 1, the first preferred embodiment of the present invention adds three new buttons to the side of a typical cellular telephone handset. Although Figure 1 shows a display, it does not necessarily have to actually have a display, depending on the requirements of the handheld device implementing the invention. For example, my invention can easily be implemented on a handheld device that does not require a display. The 3 new side buttons seen in Figure 1 are the "shift" side button 101, the "2nd Letter" side button 102, and the "3rd Letter" side button 103 . In the case of using a phone to type text, the user will hold the phone in the left hand as shown in Figure 1 and use the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the left hand to control the "shift", "2nd Letter" and "3rd Letter" sides respectively button, and at the same time use the right hand to press the keys on the front of the phone.

[0020] If none of the side buttons are held, then p...

Abstract

The invention is a hand-held device (Fig. 1). It comprises multiple keys (112, 113) on its face ('face-keys') and one or more buttons (101, 102, 103) 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.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to handheld electronic devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to devices that allow users to quickly type text on handheld electronic devices. Background technique [0002] Typing on most cell phone handsets (and other handheld devices) is slow and clumsy. However, the need to use handheld devices to type text is growing rapidly, mainly due to the advent of wireless data services (such as GoAmerica and OmniSky in the US and NTT DoCoMo in Japan), "Internet enabled" cellular phone handsets and personal digital assistants The proliferation of devices (PDAs) and the proliferation of mobile Internet-based services such as email, instant messaging, and Web browsing. [0003] Most cellular telephones include a "Start call" button and an "End call" button. As for all other buttons as mentioned in this patent, the exact names, symbols or graphics of the related buttons are for illustrative purposes o...
