  • the alphanumeric keyboard arrangement object of the present patent, is hereinafter referred to as the "innovative keyboard" for purposes of distinguishing it from the pre-existing keyboards discussed in this specification.
  • the most commonly used keyboard today is the QWERTY keyboard, with its derived versions, which are basically adaptations made to meet the needs of specific countries. Some of these keyboards have their own name, such as AZERTY, used in France, and QWERTZ, used in Germany.
  • the QWERTY was developed and patented by Christopher Sholes, with the help of Samuel W. Soule, Carlos Glidden and James Densmore.
  • the company Remington bought the patent and began producing a typewriter using the keyboard Q 1 March 1873.
  • the success of the QWERTY keyboard is due to the idea of placing the most commonly used letters in more distant positions, slowing the typing speed at a glance, but ultimately increasing the speed by reducing the likelihood of crashing, something that it happened in typewriter time because the keys were attached to rods that moved to the paper and could hook when two keys were pressed almost simultaneously. This was no longer a problem with the invention of non-rod electric typewriters. Even after the invention of the personal computer, the QWERTY keyboard remained the most widely used keyboard, probably due to the large number of keyboard savvy typists.
  • QWERTY is no longer recognized as the most effective keyboard for improving productivity, and an alternate keyboard must overcome the tendency of typists to continue using the key sequence they have already memorized. Since 1873, several attempts have been made to replace QWERTY and its various adaptations. The best known are the Dvorak keyboard, which is still used by some people today, the Colemak, Workman and Neo keyboards. All of the mentioned keyboards focused on changing the position of the letters, but keeping the basic QWERTY keyboard design. Some of them put together all the vowels, such as Dvorak (A O E U I), and Neo (U I A E O), but not in the order in which the vowels appear in the Latin writing system.

  • the F1 to F1 2 keys are distributed in 3 lines (F9 to F12; F5 to F8; F1 to F4).
  • F1 through F10 keys allow access to superscript and superscript numbers respectively using the "Num” and "4D” keys.
  • the arrow keys as well as the fast scroll keys (PgUp, PgDn, Home, End) are in this upper section, but approximately square in shape, occupying 1, 5 lines each.
  • the innovative keyboard format in its compact version is roughly the proportion of many device screens (9 x 6).
  • the innovative keyboard has approximately the following dimensions: 22cm on the X axis by 14cm on the Y axis.
  • Note 1 The list contains the 50 most used bigrams of each language. This means that the innovative keyboard provides a single keystroke feature for at least 52.4% of English-entered bigrams, 54.4% in Spanish and 51.7% in Portuguese.
  • the alphanumeric keyboard layout object of the present patent (innovated keyboard) presents a new and unique configuration that gives it great advantages over the keyboards currently known and used in the market. These advantages include: the fact that it can be used by 185 languages without the need for adaptations; the ease and speed of typing due to the position of letters and numbers; and the fact that it has versatility for application to any equipment.
