`ABSTRACT
`
`This invention generally relates I) a sy:.Dm level scheme
`utilizing an intelligent keyboa~d. he:cafter called an
`Intellikeyboard, which c:an operate: as a • ■iversal compute,
`command, and control raodule tha1 interfaces either through
`t nurrber of intelligent
`wired or wireless means with
`appliances, personal computers, work-~tations, servers,
`televisions, pric.ters, smart devi :es, ir.t.::lligent devices,
`telephones, or other devices. The Intellilteyboard has the
`ability to transmit and rece.ive v:iice, t:::xt, graphics, and
`other data through either wired or wirelless means. The
`Intellikeyboard may wo~k in tande:n with a local or network
`server to perform stand3.rd oompuing fu.J:tioc.s, serve as a
`command and control unit, perbrm s·.an:lard telephony
`functions, transmit and :receive eleetronic mail, voice mail,
`video, and audio. The iavent:or.. also anticipates the need for

`ABSTRACT
`
`This invention generally relates to a system level scheme
`utilizing an intelligent keyboard, hereaf:cr called an
`lntellikeyboard, which can operate as a universal compute,
`command, ar.d con:rol module that interfaces either through
`wired or wireless means with a number of intelligent
`api:liances, personal computers, work-stations, servers,
`televisions, printers, smart devices, intelligent devices,
`telephones, or other devices. The lntellikeyboard has the
`abi:ity to transmit and receive voice, text, graphics, and
`other data through either wired or wireless means. The
`Intellikeyboard may work in tandem with a local or network
`server to perform standard com?uting functions, serve as a
`command ar.d control unit, perform standard telephony
`functions, transmit and receive ::lectronic mail, voice mail,
`video, and audio. The invention 3Jso anticipates the need fer
