Abstract
The invention relates to a method for inputting data through a keyboard to whose keys individual characters of a character set are assigned, wherein the number of keys is less than the number of characters of the character set and wherein the character set preferably contains punctuation marks. An improvement in operability is accomplished in that sequences of key strokes corresponding to sequences of characters which are impossible or improbable in the context of the data to be input are used for encoding characters or character sequences that are not assigned to a key.
Claims34
A method for inputting data through a keyboard to whose keys individual characters of a character set are assigned, wherein the number of keys is less than the number of characters of the character set wherein sequences of key strokes corresponding to sequences of characters which are impossible or improbable in the context of the data to be input, are used for encoding characters or character sequences that are not assigned to a key.
A method for outputting data via a display, a printout or via temporary stimuli, through symbols which are assigned to individual characters of a character set, wherein the number of symbols is less than the number of characters of the character set wherein sequences of symbols corresponding to sequences of characters which are impossible or improbable in the context of the data to be input, are used for encoding characters or character sequences that are not assigned to a symbol.
(canceled)
An apparatus for inputting data comprising a keyboard having a plurality of keys which are assigned to individual characters of a character set, wherein the number of keys is less than the number of characters of the character set wherein sequences of key strokes corresponding to sequences of characters which are impossible or improbable in the context of the data to be input, are assigned to further characters or character sequences that are not assigned to a key.
An apparatus for outputting data comprising a device for creating a display, a printout or temporary stimuli, wherein the data are characterized by symbols which are assigned to individual characters of a character set, wherein the number of symbols is less than the number of characters of the character set wherein sequences of symbols corresponding to sequences of characters which are impossible or improbable in the context of the data to be input, are used for encoding characters or character sequences that are not assigned to a symbol.
(canceled)
A method for outputting data in which characters are represented by exciting different skin regions of a user, wherein a plurality of excitation modes which are used alternately are assigned to each skin region.
