This invention relates to a novel way to use a twelve button telephone keypad for alphanumeric data entry. This invention also relates to a method of alphanumeric data entry using short duration or long duration binary key actuations using a simultaneous coding system and/or sequential coding system for communicating on a standard twelve key push-button telephone keypad. Two binary keys are used for an all capital letter mode or two binary keys for a lower-case letter mode, along with three binary keys for an upper-case letter mode, for producing full alphanumeric text, including punctuation, symbols and control.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This invention uses any standard twelve key push-button phone keypad arrangement to produce full alphanumeric text, including a space, punctuation, symbols and control.
The differences in the present invention are the keyboard arrangement and the system and method of producing twenty-six letters of an alphabet or data characters, such as Chinese or Japanese, and a space on a standard twelve key pushbutton phone arrangement.
The preferred telephone keypad labeling embodiment, has the letters "Q" and "Z" are produced by the preferred number "1" key, with a "space" positioned between the "Q" and "Z", the "ABC" on the preferred "2" key, the "DEF" on the preferred "3" key, the "GHI" on the preferred "4" key, the "JKL" on the preferred "5" key, the "MNO" on the preferred "6" key, the "PRS" on the preferred "7" key, the "TUV" on the preferred "8" key and the "WXY" on the "9" key.
The "ABC" could be on the "1" key or on any other key.
As long as any twenty-six alphabetic characters and a space are produced by nine binary keys numbered one "1" through nine "9" combined with first, second or third binary control key, of a three key binary control keyboard, producing a first, second or third data character on each binary key of a first set of nine binary keys, while in an alphabetic mode.
Numbers are produced in the number mode by the single key activations presently used throughout the world today.
To produce a hyphen "-" between numbers, which are found in phone numbers, while in the number mode, the first left preferred asterisk "*" binary control key is combined with the activation, either simultaneously with or followed by-the activation of the third right preferred number "#" binary control key.
To produce a decimal point ".
" found between numbers, while in the number mode, the first left preferred asterisk "*" binary control key is combined with the activation, either simultaneously with or followed by the activation of the second middle preferred zero "0" binary control key
