First Claim
1. A data input system comprising:
- a keypad defining a plurality of keys, wherein each key contains at least one symbol of a group of symbols, said group of symbols divided into subgroups comprising at least one of alphabetical symbols, numeric symbols, and command symbols, wherein each subgroup is associated with at least a portion of a user'"'"'s finger; and
a finger recognition system in communication with at least one key of said plurality of keys, wherein said at least one key has at least a first symbol from a first subgroup and at least a second symbol from a second subgroup, wherein said finger recognition system is configured to recognize said portion of said user'"'"'s finger when said finger interacts with said key so as to select said symbol on said key corresponding to the subgroup associated with said portion of said user'"'"'s finger.

Abstract
A data input system having a keypad defining a plurality of keys, each key contains at least one symbol of a group of symbols. The group of symbols is divided into subgroups each having at least one of alphabetical symbols, numeric symbols, and command symbols, where each subgroup is associated with at least a portion of a user'"'"'s finger. A finger recognition system is in communication with at least one key, where the key has at least a first symbol from a first subgroup and at least a second symbol from a second subgroup, The finger recognition system is configured to recognize the portion of the user'"'"'s finger when the finger interacts with the key so as to select the symbol on the key, corresponding to the subgroup associated with the portion of the user'"'"'s finger.

1-1. A data entry system comprising;
-
a number of predefined input signals provided by interacting with the input means of an object, including predefined types of interaction provided with a number of keys, such as physical or virtual keys, corresponding to an electronic device for at least entering arbitrary characters wherein, said data entry system uses a number of symbols including at least the letters of the alphabet of at least one language and wherein said symbols are assigned to said input signals such that at least two of said letters are assigned to at least one of said input signals, and wherein a symbol assigned to an input signal is entered by a procedure of input including;
providing said input signal; and
providing a speech information corresponding to said symbol for selecting said symbol among the symbols that are assigned to said input signal, wherein said speech information is detected and analyzed based on at least one of, a user'"'"'s voice and a user'"'"'s lip movements, and wherein said data entry system uses at least one database of words such that in order to enter a word of said a least one database a user uses one of at least a first and a second methods of input wherein, a first method includes combining information corresponding to said word, wherein said combined information includes;
a first information including entering at least one character such as a letter of said word through said procedure of input, and a second information including providing the input signals corresponding to at least some of the other characters of said word without providing speech; and
said second method including providing information including the input signals corresponding to substantially all of the characters of said word without providing a speech, wherein the system compares said information with the information corresponding to the words of said database and proposes a corresponding word.

5. A data entry system comprising:
-
a number of predefined input signals provided by interacting with the input means of an object including predefined types of interaction provided with a number of keys, such as physical or virtual keys, corresponding to an electronic device for at least entering arbitrary characters wherein, said data entry system uses a first type of symbols including at least the letters of the alphabet of at least one language and a second type of symbols substantially each including a portion of a word, such as a chain of characters generally corresponding to a syllable of a word of a language, wherein said symbols correspond to said input signals such that at least two of said letters are assigned to at least one of said input signals, and wherein a symbol corresponding to said at least one input signal is entered by a procedure of input including;
providing said at least one input signal; and
providing a speech information corresponding to said symbol for selecting said symbol among the symbols that are represented by said at least one input signal wherein said speech information is detected and analyzed based on at least one of, a user'"'"'s voice and a user'"'"'s lip movements. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A data entry system comprising:
-
a number of predefined input signals provided by interacting with the input means of an object including predefined types of interaction provided with a number of keys such as physical or virtual keys, corresponding to an electronic device, for at least entering arbitrary characters wherein, said data entry system uses a number of symbols including at least the letters of the alphabet of at least one language and wherein said symbols are assigned to said input signals such that at least two of said letters are assigned to at least one of said input signals and wherein, said data entry system uses a number of words wherein each of said words includes at least one of said symbols, wherein in order to enter one of said words a user provides at least the input signals corresponding to the symbols of said word and the system compares said sequence of input signals with the input signals corresponding to each of at least some of said words and proposes a corresponding word and wherein, the input means to which substantially all of said letters of a language are assigned are arranged such that one finger tip of said user may touch substantially all of them simultaneously. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A data entry system comprising:
-
a number of predefined input signals provided by interacting with the input means of an object including predefined types of interaction provided with a number of keys such as physical or virtual keys, corresponding to an electronic device for at least entering arbitrary characters wherein, said data entry system uses a number of symbols including at least the letters of the alphabet of at least one language and wherein said symbols are assigned to said input signals such that at least two of said letters are assigned to at least one of said input signals and wherein, said data entry system uses a number of words wherein each of said words is composed of at least one of said symbols, wherein in order to enter one of said words a user provides at least the input signals corresponding to the symbols of said word and the system compares said sequence of input signals with the input signals corresponding to each of at least some of said words and proposes a corresponding word and wherein, at least the input means to which said letters are assigned are split into two groups wherein each group is used by the finger of a different user'"'"'s hand. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A data entry system comprising;
-
a number of predefined input signals provided by interacting with the input means of an object, including predefined types of interaction provided with a number of keys, such as physical or virtual keys, corresponding to an electronic device for at least entering arbitrary characters wherein, said data entry system uses a first type of text components including at least the letters of the alphabet of at least one language and a second type of text components generally each including a portion of a word, such as a chain of characters generally corresponding to a syllable of a word of a language, wherein said first text components are assigned to said input signals such that at least two of said letters are assigned to at least one of said input signals, and wherein a text component of the second group of text components is entered by a procedure of input including;
providing the input signals corresponding to at least two of its characters; and
providing a speech information corresponding to said text component for selecting said text component among the text components that are represented by said provided input signals, wherein said speech information is detected and analyzed based on at least one of a user'"'"'s voice and a user'"'"'s lip movements. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32)
