Telphone keypad with multidirectional keys

Abstract

A telephone keypad for one touch text messaging the QWERTY pattern of keys in a matrix of nine keys. Using the multi position biasing keys only one touch is needed for each character, so in use to input the letter “C” you touch one key one time, decreasing the time spend text messaging from cell phones or desk tops and dialing phone numbers advertised in letters. The keypad also has a shift key to get upper case included in the nine keys, and a 2 nd key to double functionality of the keys.

1 . A keypad which can be used to enter numbers, alphabet letters, and symbols using a plurality of keys where the key position indicia is arranged to mimic a QWERTY keyboard, comprising: 
 at least nine keys arranged in three rows of three keys each where the three keys of said three rows are arranged in columns, said three rows constituting a top row, a middle row, and a bottom row, a majority of said nine keys being moveable in at least two different directions from a resting position,    wherein said top row of at least three key positions are used to indicate the at least ten letters of a top row of a QWERTY keyboard,    wherein said middle row of at least three key position are used to indicate the at least nine letters of a middle row of a QWERTY keyboard,    wherein said bottom row of at least three key position are used to indicate the at least seven letters of a bottom row of a QWERTY keyboard,    wherein said top row of three keys includes key position indicia to indicate at least the letters Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O, and P,    wherein said middle row of three keys includes key position indicia to indicate at least the letters A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, and L,    wherein said bottom row of three keys includes key position indicia to indicate at least the letters Z, X, C, V, B, N, and M; and    a sensor for determining a key which is moved in a direction of said key which is moved.    
   
   
       2 . The keypad of  claim 1  wherein said sensor is optical.  
   
   
       3 . The keypad of  claim 1  wherein said moveable is sliding.  
   
   
       4 . The keypad of  claim 1  further including 
 means to triangulate and output direction of at least one of said keys when moved in an angular direction.    
   
   
       5 . A keypad which can be used to enter numbers, alphabet letters, and symbols using a plurality of keys where the key position indicia is arranged to mimic a QWERTY keyboard, comprising: 
 at least nine keys arranged in three rows of three keys each where the three keys of said three rows are arranged in columns, said three rows constituting a top row, a middle row, and a bottom row, a majority of said nine keys being moveable in at least two different directions from a resting position,    wherein said top row of at least three key positions are used to indicate the at least ten letters of a top row of a QWERTY keyboard,    wherein said middle row of at least three key positions are used to indicate the at least nine letters of a middle row of a QWERTY keyboard,    wherein said bottom row of at least three key positions are used to indicate the at least seven letters of a bottom row of a QWERTY keyboard,    wherein said top row of three keys includes key position indicia to indicate at least the letters Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O, and P,    wherein said middle row of three keys includes key position indicia to indicate at least the letters A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, and L,    wherein said bottom row of three keys includes key position indicia to indicate at least the letters Z, X, C, V, B, N, and M,    wherein said keys are conductive; and    contacts for receiving said conductive key for determining a key which is moved in a direction of said key which is moved.    
   
   
       6 . The keypad of  claim 5  further including 
 means to triangulated and output direction of at least one of said keys when moved in an angular direction.
