Abstract

This software system allow smartphone users to type words using a round keyboard containing the letters of the alphabet, numerals and special characters (including emoji).

Claims

1. The invention claimed is “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software (or the equivalent)”

. I Georgeta Johnson claim “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software (or the equivalent)”

, which is a smartphone software application that is an alternative to the classical QWERTZ keyboard application. The application opens whenever the user of the smartphone where the application is installed, taps (all smartphones targeted are equipped with a touch screen) the field where the user wants to enter text or numerals. Responding to the tap “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software (or the equivalent)”

opens presenting the user with the alphabet arranged (alphabetically or not<

I Georgeta Johnson claim all the alphabet arrangements on a round/elliptical keyboard) in a circle or elliptical form, with a space symbol and a symbol for numerical characters/emoji. The user uses a finger to tap on each letter forming a word or, alternatively, keeps its finger on the screen, dragging it between letters, forming a word. The “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software (or the equivalent)”

is based on an internal dictionary of words and an algorithm for continuous search in this dictionary for the best 1, 2 or more matches (this is a setting the user can set up, or use the default setting of 1 match). The first match would be entered in the field where the user intended the text to be entered. If the “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software (or the equivalent)”

settings are set to more than one word match, there would be an additional text box appearing under the filed intended by the user to receive text and in top (below, left right or hovering onto) of the round keyboard application. With a tap on any of the other word matches the user can change the word in the field intended to receive text to the word tapped. After the user accepts the matched word as is intended word, the user moves to a new word either tapping the space or by setting a setting of the “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software (or the equivalent)’

to automatically insert a space after each entered word. The user continues to enter the text until finished then closes the “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software”

(or the equivalent) by pressing the back button embedded in the smartphone. Alternatively, for models that don'"'"'t have a back button the “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software”

(or the equivalent) is equipped with a back button of its own. The “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software”

(or the equivalent) has a setting section where the user can set various settings including but not limited to;

the back and front color of the keyboard, whatever a sound should be played when the user touches the keyboard, the number of matches presented by the application, if a space should be automatically added after a word, if the space symbol should be visible on the “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software”

(or the equivalent) or if the “

Smartphone screen touch round keyboard with or without swift, with or without vowels software”

(or the equivalent) should present the user entire alphabet or only consonants. I Georgeta Johnson, claim all of the above, as described in the claim section of this document specifically and in the rest of the document generally.
