The current structure of computer keyboard is ideal for normal computer environments, which are normally practiced with both hands and ten fingers. It is considered, however, rather complicated and not suitable for use in mobile or handicapped environments. A simplified keyboard concept can be devised over a simple structure not only for text entry but also for as many functions as necessary from a typical keyboard. It is for the future of ubiquitous mobile life, and also for the ultimate IT practice by handicapped people, since it can easily lead to many kinds of natural and intuitive interfaces to general and diverse hardware in a unified way.
