Method and system for operating a keyboard with multi functional keys, using fingerprints recognition
First Claim
1. An interface application enabling multi-functionality of a specific area part of an interface in a computerized device, wherein the identity of the user is known, said interface comprising of:
- at least one touch screen area surface, said touch screen area surface is integrated with at least one sensor for capturing at least part of distinguishing ridges and valleys of the touching fingertip touching a specific area;
wherein once the user pressed the touch screen, his fingertip captured image is received by the computer device associated with the touch screen;
a processing module arranged to analyze said distinguishing ridges and valleys of the touching fingertip for identifying characteristic of the specific touching finger differentiating said finger from other fingers of the same user and;
an activation module for determining the functionality of said specified area based on the identified finger and activating the determined functionality, wherein the selection and activation of one function out of multiple different functions is derived from pressing only once on touch screen area surface.

Abstract
An appliance with a keyboard, or a touch screen, equipped with sensors that can recognize each of the user'"'"'s fingerprints. Several symbols are engraved on or below each key such that every time the key is pressed by a specific finger, it corresponds to a specific symbol from among the symbols associated with that key, such that the right-most finger activates the right-most symbol, the second from right finger activates the second from right symbol, and so on. The appliance can be switched to a work mode that displays additional series of symbols on the display panel of the appliance, such that every time the key is pressed by a specific finger, it corresponds to a specific symbol from among the symbols displayed on the corresponding display panel.

8. A method for enabling multi-functionality of a specific area part of an interface in a computerized device, wherein the identity of the user is known said method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving indication of touching touch screen specified area surface by a user and capturing at least part of distinguishing ridges and valleys of the touching fingertip with said touch screen specific area, by a sensor, said sensor is integrated within the touch screen area surface; wherein once the user pressed the touch screen, his fingerprint tip captured image is received by the computer device associated with the touch screen; analyzing said distinguishing ridges and valleys of the touching fingertip for identifying characteristic of the specific touching finger differentiating said finger from other fingers of the same user, said analysis carried out in said computerized device determining the functionality of said at least one specified area based on the identified finger wherein the selection of one function out of multiple different functions is derived from pressing only once on touch screen area surface; and activating determined functionality of said specified area by the computerized device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
