Our text input technology, D9, is crafted to elevate the user experience and boost productivity. It enables swift and effortless content searches, even on devices with constrained space.

​

Fig.1 and Fig.2 below shows existing visual display keyboards (K/B). Fig. 3 is Direction9's D9 method. It reduces cursor travel distances/time for users within a 5x5 keypad.

D9 features include:

Blind-typing and Auto-Submit features: The Blind-Typing feature automatically resets and initiates each entry from the central Key-5, where JKL is situated, allowing for consistent navigation to each key and enabling Blind-Typing. The Auto-Submit feature executes any function keys surrounding the 3x4 phone keypad automatically as the highlighted cursor moves over them, thereby reducing the need for additional key presses.

​

Fig. 4 shows a reference to our iconic keypad design. Fig.5 indicates that precise characters could be entered after a key-group is selected by turning off the light bulb icon (exiting the predictive text mode).

Predictive Text technology can be optionally utilized to minimize the number of keystrokes required by predicting dictionary words with a single letter press. All words can be predicted via AI dictionaries.

​

Direction9 offers over 40 language libraries for predictive text applications and will provide:

 

(1) Predictive Text Software (Engine)

(2) Dictionaries (LDB = Language Database & CDB = Customer Database (e.g. Movie titles, or Street Names, etc.)

(3) Application Program Interface (API)

(4) Reference User Interface (UI) source codes & flow chart for customer's implementation

(5) Source files of UI design graphics for customization

(6) Custom design support when needed

 

Customers can tailor designs to match their company's color scheme and layout.

Fig. 6 indicates that existing multi-keys hardware devices are getting complicated in order to keep up with newly developed applications.

​

These variations can be easily simplified through software changes in D9 alone, without any need for hardware modifications.  Adopting a soft-screen approach in the remote control industry is revolutionary, mirroring the way the iPhone transformed the traditional cell phone industry.
