Abstract

A virtual keyboard tablet computer has a conventional data display on a front side of the computer and touch sensitive data input regions on an obverse rear side thereof. The data input regions discriminate between grasping pressure applied between thumbs on the front of the device and fingertips on the rear of the device versus distinct data input pressures. The computer then translates those pressures into alpha-numeric characters for display on the data display of the tablet computer.
