Embodiment

The present invention mainly provides a kind of apparatus and method of carrying out finger alternative typewriting, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.Glove keyboard designed according to this invention comprises a right glove body 10 and a left hand body 12, and each gloves body respectively comprises five

fingerstall

102 and 122, dresses for user's a hand.Symbol mark on each gloves body is represented a press-down type button 20, presses a button and can import a symbol or function, thereby enter information handling systems utilizing.A plurality of buttons 20 are installed in each fingerstall back side of right glove body, and other a plurality of buttons 20 then are installed in the facies palmaris of each fingerstall of left hand body.

The arrangement of button intention is to make the typewriting method to be very similar to the qwerty keyboard that tradition is used among the present invention, makes the people of traditional custom keyboard not too have the problem that need adapt to again when using keyboard of the present invention instead.In the cuit of the home position that the both hands on the conventional keyboard are often placed, major part is installed in the back side of each fingerstall middle part dactylus of right glove body and the facies palmaris of each fingerstall base portion dactylus of left hand body for the button of letter character.On conventional keyboard, finger need be done button that sidesway typewrites and then be installed on above-mentioned those dactylus and increase by a craspedodrome in addition, makes each tool two craspedodrome of each dactylus.Numerical key and function key then are installed in the facies palmaris of each fingerstall middle part dactylus except that thumb on the back side of the fingerstall of each except that thumb base portion dactylus on the right glove body and the left hand body.Button Ctrl, Alt and Space are installed in the back of hand thumb cover.The button that vernier control and screen are rotated then is installed in the facies palmaris of left hand thumbstall.
