EZ Key

Most updated and developing softwares contain shortcuts. Using shortcuts is very useful for reducing working hours and improving productivity. Most of commonly existing software, on average, contains 200 shortcuts (max over 900). However, most people are using only very minor shortcuts that are well-known (1~10 shortcuts).

We conducted a random survey and found that information on shortcuts was insufficient. Our results showed us that user recognition of shortcuts is limited. We found through our research that people are studying and recognizing visually over 70% of the time. Moreover, we studied TRIZ methodology (theory of solving inventive problems) for a more ideal resolution. Consequently, we developed EZ KEY software. EZ KEY software displays various software shortcuts directly onto the screen to match with activated software when the user presses the function key, such as Ctrl, Alt or Shift. The method of displaying EZ KEY can be set two different ways (Pictogram or Text).
