the merging..

how could they be merged, well the phone devises themselves are usually pretty blank at the back, ignoring the usual camera lens. There is place around the phone were a pressure plate could be incorporated, this being the input for the morse code by tapping it with their finger. The size is arguable as it will be big enough to be able to hit it without looking as this is to keep the user from having to keep looking at the phone.




this pressure plate could be used to "tap input" a text message without the need to stare at the display. where it would recognise the differance between taps and pauses, then coding them into text and with a further tap send it to whoever its for.

The input could also be the built in mic of the phone, where the taps would be "heard" by the phone and then decoded into text much like the pressure plate idea. then with variations in speed or pressure to use this morse code input to send the ready written message.

This would be advantageous while driving as a user, (although i dont encourage it,) could just tap their phone accordingly to write and send a message, or dial a number. These would keep the drivers concentration on the road ahead of them. jus by having the mobile device on their lap or in their pocket a single finger to tap the back in rythem will be sufficient.

the output of the morse code would be an already decifered message sent to the recipient. the receiving message would be in standard text to easily be read. this is not such a burden to look and read the message as it is to write one, for someone not used to it.

besides writing messages the idea of morse code tapping on the handset could be taken advantage for other options, the answer a call a single tap on the back of the handset would put them onto loud speaker, if the normal answer button is used it would stay using the internal speaker.

its the same concept as morse code and could be using differant taps on the back for differant functions, apart form answer a call you would have to hang up the call at the end right?. double tap the pressure pad and call is ended. it would be that simple.

Now the argument would be why would someone need to learn morse code to be able to do what they are able to now. Its not a necesity to know it, anyone would be able to memorize a set pattern of sequences which enable them to take advantage of the concept.

if this idea could be made to increase the speed and ease, (which is what any development leans towards.) of using a phone for texting/email/making calls etc. then it would be very advantageous to use it.

stay tuned for image ideas of this concept.
