Users’ complaint about existing remote controller“Search” function become a mandatory feature for IPTV remote controller

• IPTV requires the text input function to enable quick direct search of user’s target content through out the various media and the numerous cable TV channels.

• Roku(1mil+) & Game consoles (170mil+) enables existing TV as the IPTV

・Selecting each letter by pointing the virtual keyboard on a TV screen is time- consuming and hectic operation such as selection by cursor (Roku) or motion sensor controll (Wii remote) .

FIO-KeyBO patent has been filed to US, JP, KR, CN, IN & EU

Comments from European Patent Attorney, Alec Messulam:

The invention of this application is concerned with how one can emulate the layout of a QWERTY keyboard, i.e. one with a conventional keyboard layout designed for use with ten fingers, using a telephone keypad or remote controller having three columns and four rows. It has previously been proposed to use one key to select more than one character but even if each key can select three alphanumeric characters, that still only allows for nine characters per row, whereas a QWERTY keyboard requires eleven.

The solution offered by the invention is to place characters between keys and to require two adjacent keys to be depressed simultaneously in order to record a keystroke. Nowhere in the prior art has it been suggested to use the tip of one finger to press two keys simultaneously. Shift, Alt and Ctrl keys on a keyboard are actuated at the same time as other keys but not using the tip of the same finger, indeed not even using two fingers of the same hand.

The invention offers for the first time, the possibility of one finger text entry using a keypad having the layout of a conventional telephone while allowing the operator to find all the characters intuitively in the same relative positions as they would occupy on a conventional ten-finger keyboard. Neither this objective, nor the method by which it has been achieved, is suggested by the prior art. .
