Publication number: 20140043240Abstract: One of a pair of alternate key planes of a virtual keyboard is presented. Each key plane includes a partial set of phonetic symbols from a phonetic alphabet. A first key plane includes a set of initial phonetic symbols. A second key plane includes a set of final phonetic symbols and a set of tone marks. The virtual keyboard automatically switches between the first key plane and the second key plane upon receiving a predetermined set of user input triggers. A sequence of Zhuyin phonetic symbol input is received from a user interface, where the sequence of Zhuyin phonetic symbols represents phonetic spellings of a plurality of Chinese characters. User input to select one of a list of Chinese character combinations is received. The selected Chinese character combination is entered as text input in the user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2013Publication date: February 13, 2014Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventor: Chia-Chi Chou

Publication number: 20060157289Abstract: An improved touch panel is disclosed. The touch panel according to the invention comprises a transparent substrate, a first transparent insulative sheet joined to the transparent substrate to form a first gap therebetween, a second transparent insulative sheet joined to the first transparent insulative sheet to form a second gap therebetween, a first transparent conductive film formed over the transparent insulative sheet within the second gap, and a second transparent conductive film formed over the second transparent insulative sheet within the second gap. Furthermore, a first anti-Newton ring film can be formed over the first transparent insulative sheet within the first gap, and a second anti-Newton ring film can be formed between the second transparent conductive film and the second transparent insulative sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2006Publication date: July 20, 2006Applicant: Advanced Touch Optics Technology CorporationInventor: Chia-Chi Chou
