Description

The invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to devices for inputting alphanumeric and symbolic information into memory devices, computers.

A well-known keyboard of personal electronic computers for entering information, containing functional and control keys mounted in the housing as well as a character pad with keys for entering letters, numbers and symbols (see RU 2088964, 6 G 06 F 3/02).

This keyboard allows you to maintain a fairly high data entry speed with the help of a sign manipulator, provided that you acquire a good skill in using the multifunction manipulator.

However, this keyboard does not allow the use of a progressive ten-finger blind input method, as it lacks a clear natural link of each finger to its key service area, which inevitably leads to a large number of errors. In addition, learning to work effectively on such a keyboard is quite difficult.

A device for inputting information, adopted as a prototype, is made in the form of a glove worn on the hand containing sensors for pressing the fingertips, shift keys and function keys (see application GB No. 2305714, G 06 K 11/16).

the tips of certain nalts to the surface and, if necessary, pressing the corresponding shift keys and / or closing the function keys, and the presentation of information on the display screen is carried out in accordance with a specific symbol table in which each symbol corresponds to a certain combination of keystrokes.

The disadvantages of this input device are the need for additional data processing by the program translator and a very complex non-standard character input technique, leading to a low input speed.

In this regard, the technical result achieved by the claimed device is to increase the usability by maintaining the operator of the generally accepted ten-finger print technique when entering alphanumeric information.

For this, the information input device, made in the form of a glove worn on the hand, contains rheostatic sensors located on the phalanges of the fingers adjacent to the palm of the hand, while at the end of each phalanx adjacent to the palm of the hand, rheostatic sensors are used to determine vertical movements and on the other end of the mentioned phalanx of the index, middle, ring fingers and little fingers are rheostatic sensors, designed to determine the angle of the finger, besides on the end, adjacent present to the palm, said index finger and the little finger are located rheostatic sensor for determining the horizontal movement of the finger.

The invention is illustrated by drawings in FIG. 1, 2, 3, where figure 1 shows the location of the aforementioned resistive sensors on the fingers and possible directions of movement of the fingers; figure 2 shows the table of correspondence of the input characters with two-digit codes.

in FIG. Figure 3 shows the positions of the corresponding fingers and the values of the signals of the resistive sensors that determine these positions.

In FIG. 1, the operator’s hand is shown, and the following symbols are used in this figure: the thumb is marked — W, the index finger is marked — V, the middle finger is labeled U, the ring finger is labeled G, and the little finger is labeled H; the rheostat sensor used to determine the bend angle of the index finger is indicated by Vh, the rheostat sensor used to determine the bend angle of the middle finger is indicated by Uh, the rheostat sensor used to determine the bend angle of the ring finger is indicated by Gh, the rheostat sensor used to determine the bend angle of the little finger, indicated by - Hh, the rheostatic sensor designed to determine the vertical movement of the thumb, indicated by - Wv, the rheostatic sensor designed to determine the vertical of the index finger, Vv, the rheostat sensor for determining the vertical movement of the middle finger, Uv, the rheostat sensor, for detecting the vertical movement of the ring finger, Gv, the rheostat sensor, for detecting the vertical movement of the little finger, - Hv, the rheostat sensor, designed to determine the horizontal movement of the index finger, is designated VI, and the rheostat sensor, designed to op Definitions of horizontal movement of the little finger, designated - HI.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, on each finger, at the end of the first phalanx of the finger adjacent to the palm of the palm, is said rheostatic sensor for detecting vertical movements, which determines the vertical movements of the corresponding finger. At the opposite end of the mentioned phalanx (at the bend of two

phalanx) of each finger, with the exception of the thumb, is a rheostat sensor designed to determine the angle of the finger, which determines the angle of the finger. At the same time, on the index finger and little finger at the places of the bend of the fingers with the palm, an additional rheostat sensor is located, which is used to determine the horizontal movements of the finger, which determine the horizontal movements of these fingers.

In addition, in FIG. 1 shows the possible directions of movement of the fingers, in which the vertical movement of the fingers is shown by a line indicated by 1, and the horizontal movements of the index finger and little finger are shown by thinner lines indicated by 2 and 3.

In FIG. Figure 2 shows the symbols and their corresponding codes that determine the position of the finger in space, while the designations dgp and dvp are understood to mean the sensor of horizontal movement of the finger and the sensor of vertical movement, respectively.

The claimed device operates as follows.

The operator puts gloves on his hands and performs the same movements with his fingers as if he were working on the keyboard using the touch typing technique, according to which each finger of the operator’s hand serves certain keys. In this case, the fingers make vertical movements (i.e., raising up or lowering the finger down), which correspond to pressing the operator’s fingers on the keyboard key and which are registered by rheostatic sensors that determine the vertical positions of Vv, Uv, Gv, Hv and Wv, and the index fingers and the little fingers of both hands additionally perform horizontal movements (i.e., left-to-right) recorded by the rheostatic sensors (rheostatic sensors) that determine the horizontal movements of VI and HI. In addition, each finger (with the exception of the thumb), when entering information, has three positions - bent, straight and half-bent, which are also recorded by rheostatic sensors that determine the angles of the bends of the fingers Vh, Uh, Gh and Hh, with each of these three positions matches a specific letter.

Consider the operator entering the Latin character n.

To do this, he moves the index finger V of the right hand in the same direction as when moving the index finger on the keyboard, i.e. rejects this finger with a simultaneous fold (see Fig. 2, 3). As a result of the bending of the finger, the movable contact of the rheostat sensor Vh is moved to a certain position, and as a result of the deviation of the finger, the movable element of the rheostat sensor VI is moved.

Then the user imitates a finger pressing a key, as a result of which the movable contact of the resistive sensor Vv moves to a certain position.

The signals from these rheostat sensors are transmitted respectively to a storage device, which, in accordance with the table of codes and symbols shown in FIG. 2, if necessary, displays the character entered by the operator on the display, in this case, paragraph

Other letters and characters are entered in the same way.

In this regard, as can be seen from the description of the operation of the claimed device, working with it does not require any additional skills from the operator, and allows him to work while maintaining the usual technique of collecting information.
