Abstract
One is to compose stratified keyboard for commands and symbols. Another is to compose corresponding system between screen displayed virtual keyboard and actual keyboard. For instance, one virtual key on the screen is endowed with certain function and when we touch one key on the actual keyboard whose position is corresponding to that one on the displayed screen, the function belonging to displayed one is executed. All operations are executed through touching keyboard and thus manipulations get stereo typed and speedy. Furthermore, stratified stereo typed keyboard system for command, symbols, figures and characters propose us the chance to deliberate systematic formation for them.
