In one embodiment the device includes a keyboard, such as for a computer or typewriter, wherein the keys of the keyboard are color-coded according to a spectrum-ordered color pattern. The invention also provides a method of color coding a data-entry device.
84 Teaching apparatus and method of enabling use of keyboard by young children US09920676 2001-08-02 US06752631B2 2004-06-22 Dawn Marie Schwarzkopf
A teaching apparatus and method of enabling a child who does not have a complete mastery of a relationship between upper and lower letters to enter data into a computer is presented. In one embodiment, a computer keyboard overlay having lower-case letters is provided. The overlay is preferably transparent, and the lower-case letter is positioned in a non-interfering location relative to the upper-case letter on the alphabet keys such that both the upper-case and lower-case letters are visible to the child when installed. A computer keyboard is also presented that included both glyphs for upper-case and lower-case letters on the alphabet keys. The glyphs of the lower-case letters may be positioned on the keys directly, or may be applied along with a layer to the keys. A method comprises the step of providing a data entry device that displays both upper and lower case letters in association with one another.
85 Partial keyboard cover having character inscriptions US10013894 2001-12-07 US20030108375A1 2003-06-12 Claudia D. Nichol; Sandra B. Brazier; Deidra B. Jeffries
A partial keyboard cover includes a resiliently flexible transparent body overlying a predetermined number of non-format and non-function keys, i.e., alpha-numeric keys of a keyboard. A wall extends downwardly from a perimeter of the body so as to at least partially envelope the keys, and grooves are formed within the body so that the body individually form-fits the non-format and non-function keys covered by the body. Character inscriptions, such as foreign language symbols, are formed on the top surface of the body over the keys of the keyboard and offset from imprinted indicia on the keys so as to enable the simultaneous viewing of the key character and the body character inscriptions.
86 Error feedback system and method for correcting habitual keyboarding errors US09597385 2000-06-19 US06419494B1 2002-07-16 Betty J. Theismann; John C. Theismann
An error feedback system for use in correcting habitual keyboarding errors makes use of a set of markers for the keys that are mis-keyed. Each marker has an indicating side which can be identified by a user by feel and an adhering side which allows the marker to be adhered to the top surface of the key. The indicating side provides immediate feedback about a keyboarding error so that the error is not reinforced and repeat errors are minimized.

88 Opaque, one-size-fits-all computer keyboard cover which covers only the three or four alpha-numeric rows US75471 1998-05-08 US6050825A 2000-04-18 Claudia D. Nichol; Sandra B. Brazier
An improved opaque computer keyboard cover (10) which covers only the three- or four alpha-numeric rows of the keyboard (12). Function and format keys (12) are not covered which provides a one-size-fits-all design. This configuration eliminates the need to order from 3000 various keyboard cover sizes. This cover is for use in keyboarding instruction and prevents peeking to accelerate user memorization. This cover can also be imprinted with a language option layout or Dvorak keyboard layout thus fully conforming the keyboard layout to one of the 60 or so languages available in the computer operating system keyboard preference options.
89 Computer typing learning device US877178 1997-06-17 US5803744A 1998-09-08 Jung-Chuan Yen
A computer typing learning device includes a cover and a seat, and a key board combined electrically with with a screen disposed between the cover 1 and the seat. An electronic circuit board is provided under a base plate of the key board for arranging various circuits thereon for various functions to display typed letters on a exercise letter row of the screen to be compared with a reference letter row and a warning mark row to show which typed letter is wrong. The keyboard is structured as all the same as that for common computers. A solar cell module is also provided inside the cover, connected with a battery deposited in a battery chamber in the cover, and a power convert switch is fixed on the cover for selecting a power source AC or DC for the device.
90 Light controlled touch pad for cursor and selection control on a computer display US311256 1994-09-23 US5577848A 1996-11-26 James H. Bowen
A keyboard where no finger pressure is needed to input data, that uses rows of emitters opposed by rows of detectors to detect a finger position, that is environmentally sealed, and inherently intrinsic safe. The keyboard has a mouse function so an operators finger can be tracked to position a cursor on a host display, and input normal keyboard functions. The keyboard has a field changeable coded overlay with indicia thereon so a scan pattern, ambient reference level or other application specific variables can be changed without breaking the environmental seal or powering down the keyboard. Further, the different scan patterns can include scanning the finger position by multiple emitter detector pairs at angles other than ninety degrees to give a cross check of detection. These said scan patterns can be further optimized to scan angled sets of keys and to adjust to different ambient light conditions so errors can be detected by the emitter detector pair closest to detection of a finger. Further to have a scanning technique so less emitters can be used than detectors. The scanning pattern can also include detecting the speed of the finger and relating that speed to the accuracy of the cursor, and emitting a frequency to be decoded by the detector to eliminate cross talk and ambient light interference.
91 Method for teaching keyboarding US952328 1992-09-28 US5269689A 1993-12-14 Dorothe M. Hill
A process of teaching the use of keyboards thereby enabling keyboard operators to produce large quantities of printed material in a much shorter time at higher accuracy. The process instructs keyboard students to associate printed material with four specific finger movements rather than keyboard memorization, thereby securing proficiency for keyboard students in as little as four hours rather than the usual six to thirty six weeks.
92 Computer method utilizing keyboard adapter US884994 1992-05-18 US5214429A 1993-05-25 David P. Greenberger
An adapter device for use with a data-input-type keyboard comprises a housing defining a chamber receiving the keyboard. An upper housing panel is provided with a first opening at least coextensive with all keys on said keyboard. A plate is hingedly secured to the upper panel so that the plate covers the first opening in an access restriction or limited use position of the plate. The plate is provided with an opening at least coextensive with a predetermined set of keys, fewer than all of the keys of the keyboard. The device further comprises an alignment component for locating the housing relative to the keyboard so that the keyboard occupies a predetermined position relative to the housing and so that the second predetermined set of keys is aligned with the opening.

System and method for an enhanced keyboard device for improving the typing skills includes a keyboard (10,20) which does not only respond to a pressure applied to its keys (when the key is pressed down), but also senses when the keys are merely touched. Whenever a key is touched, the letter it represents is displayed on the screen through a virtual keyboard (11,21) or separately giving the users an indication as for which key they are about to press. In every other manner the device is identical to a standard keyboard. The aim of the present invention is to make use of time in which users need to use the keyboard for other purposes in order to improve their typing skills.
