Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that make an increased number of keys available for typing, such as for Ethiopic typing. In some embodiments, a complete set of characters or glyphs associated with a particular phonetic language can be typed using a maximum of three keystrokes on a QWERTY keyboard.
Claims20
A method for generating a set of characters of a phonetic language using key presses inputted on a QWERTY keyboard, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the QWERTY keyboard, a first keystroke;
- receiving, at the QWERTY keyboard, a second keystroke;
- determining whether a first keystroke was pressed during the second keystroke;
- generating, when the first keystroke of the QWERTY keyboard was pressed during the second keystroke, a first character;
- generating, when the first keystroke of the QWERTY keyboard was not pressed during the second keystroke, a second character different from the first character;
- and
- rendering the first character and the second character to a display,
- wherein each character of the set of characters can be generated using a maximum of three keystrokes.

A method for generating a set of characters of a phonetic language using key presses inputted on a QWERTY keyboard, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the QWERTY keyboard, a first keystroke;
- receiving, at the QWERTY keyboard, a second keystroke;
- receiving, at the QWERTY keyboard, a third keystroke;
- determining whether the first keystroke of the QWERTY keyboard kept a first key depressed during the second keystroke;
- generating, when the first key of the QWERTY keyboard was depressed during the second keystroke, a first character;
- generating, when the first key of the QWERTY keyboard was not depressed during the second keystroke, a second character different from the first character;
- and
- rendering the first character or the second character to a display,
- wherein each character of the set of characters can be generated using a maximum of three keystrokes.
6 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a QWERTY keyboard;
- a processor coupled to the QWERTY keyboard;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions thereon that, when processed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- determining whether a first keystroke kept a first key pressed during a second keystroke;
- generate, when the first key of the QWERTY keyboard was pressed during the second keystroke, a first character;
- generate, when the first key of the QWERTY keyboard was not pressed during the second keystroke, a second character different from the first character;
- and
- render the first character or the second character to a display,
- wherein each character of a set of characters of a phonetic language can be generated using a maximum of three keystrokes.
