Users’ complaint about existing remote controller
“Search” function become a mandatory feature for IPTV remote controller
• IPTV requires the text input function to
enable quick direct search of user’s target
content through out the various media and
the numerous cable TV channels.
• Roku(1mil+) & Game consoles (170mil+)
enables existing TV as the IPTV
・Selecting each letter by pointing the
virtual keyboard on a TV screen is time-
consuming and hectic operation such as
selection by cursor (Roku) or motion

14. Patent Application
FIO-KeyBO patent has been filed to US, JP, KR, CN, IN & EU
Comments from European Patent Attorney, Alec Messulam:
The invention of this application is concerned with how one can emulate the
layout of a QWERTY keyboard, i.e. one with a conventional keyboard
layout designed for use with ten fingers, using a telephone keypad or
remote controller having three columns and four rows. It has previously
been proposed to use one key to select more than one character but even if
each key can select three alphanumeric characters, that still only allows for
nine characters per row, whereas a QWERTY keyboard requires eleven.
The solution offered by the invention is to place characters between keys and to
require two adjacent keys to be depressed simultaneously in order to record
a keystroke. Nowhere in the prior art has it been suggested to use the tip of
one finger to press two keys simultaneously. Shift, Alt and Ctrl keys on a
keyboard are actuated at the same time as other keys but not using the tip of
the same finger, indeed not even using two fingers of the same hand.
The invention offers for the first time, the possibility of one finger text entry using
a keypad having the layout of a conventional telephone while allowing the
operator to find all the characters intuitively in the same relative positions
as they would occupy on a conventional ten-finger keyboard. Neither this
objective, nor the method by which it has been achieved, is suggested by the
prior art. .
