Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
Electronic equipment for high-speed writing on electric typewriters, incorporated or external printers, photocomposers and the like, and as a rapid means of communication for those with a verbal handicap, comprising at least a keyboard for abbreviated, simultaneous keying of several letters or numbers by the operator, characterized in that: the keyboard is divided into sectors making possible the abbreviated, simultaneous keying of words or parts of words by a determined code, so that they can be written at high speed by a single stroke, i.e., greater than the speed possible on traditional keyboards and, with a possible prior recording, are automatically transcribed by decoding in an orthographically and linguistically correct and complete, i.e. unabbreviated, form on electronic typewriters, incorporated or external printers, photocomposers, processors and the like.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
Electronic equipment for high-speed writing on electric typewriters, incorporated or external printers, photocomposers and the like, and as a rapid means of communication for those with a verbal handicap, comprising at least a keyboard for abbreviated, simultaneous keying of several letters or numbers by the operator, characterized in that: the keyboard is divided into sectors making possible the abbreviated, simultaneous keying of words or parts of words by a determined code, so that they can be written at high speed by a single stroke, i.e., greater than the speed possible on traditional keyboards and, with a possible prior recording, are automatically transcribed by decoding in an orthographically and linguistically correct and complete, i.e. unabbreviated, form on electronic typewriters, incorporated or external printers, photocomposers, processors and the like.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
Electronic equipment as in claim 1, wherein the keyboard comprises 8 operating sectors, 4 for the right hand and 4 for the left hand, and further comprises a sector for special operating commands (C 4 ) and one (d) for commands to the external equipment, each sector comprising at least a key.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
Electronic equipment as in claim 1 and 2, wherein the riting code is such that simultaneous depressing of one or more keys in the same sector generates a letter or symbol provided by the code and depressing of one or more keys in different.sectors, depending on the writing code, generates several letters forming a word or part of a word.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
Electronic equipment as in claims 1, 2 and 3, characterized by a decoder consisting of a microprocessor that, in an orderly manner, reads the letters and numbers input by the keys in sequential order from the first to the last sector and transmits them, by decoding them, to the writing or photocomposing equipment or processor or the like.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
Electronic equipment as in claims 2, 3, 4 wherein the sector of the keyboard for functional commands in such as to control the photocomposition functions and video and *0 character management provided by the photocomposition process, or recording by the mass storage of the processors.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
Electronic equipment as in claims 1 to 5, characterized by a magnet recorder that records the keying of the characters by the operator on the keyboard, making possible the subsequent connection to electronic typewriters, printers, photocomposers, processors and the like for reproduction.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
Electronic equipment as in claims 1 to 6, characterized by the use of suitable codes for writing in any languages.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
50 words
Codes for linguistic keying by the electronic equipment defined by claims 1 to 7, wherein for each sector consonant or vowel codes are provided by order of frequency and by the orthographic and grammatical logic of the language whereby a maximum of 8 letters is obtained in a single stroke.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
44 words
Equipment as in claim 1, characterized by the possibility of automatically generating abbreviations either of the ending or entire word by omitting the central vowel of the syllable so that the microprocessor automatically recognizes by what is not written what is to be written.
