 World's Smallest Keyboards 

The 9 sensor multi-tap Thumb Keyboard uses a centrally located sensor surrounded by 8 adjacent sensors or eight touch sensor zones, for producing alphabetic characters, a space, numbers, punctuation and symbols using the left or right thumb. The 9 sensor Thumb Keyboard can be used on a cell phone menu key, a camera menu key or an  iPod  / MP3 menu key, making it the world’s smallest data entry keyboard. The 9 sensor multi-tap Thumb Keyboard allows a user to text message without ever looking at the input device. Activating one of nine sensors 1 time produces a 1st data character, 2 times produces a 2nd data character, 3 times produces a 3rd data character, 4 times produces a 4th data character, 5 times produces a 5th data character, 6 times produces a 6th data character, 7 times produces a 7th data character, 8 times or more produces additional data characters. The 9 sensor multi-tap Thumb Keyboard is faster than Tegic's T9 multi-tap method, Motorola's iTAP multi-tap method and ZI Corp's eZiText multi-tap method. Many solutions to improve many of the existing problems have been made, but many are not well suited for the blind community, the deaf-blind community and an individual needing to enter data into a device without looking at the keyboard entry device. Combining the 9 sensor multi-tap Thumb Keyboard with the PhoneKeyboard.com invention, produces the world's fastest data entry device for 12 key phones.
