Abstract

The control device is worn on the operator's finger, has a control element that is suitably positioned to prevent unintentional operation, is protected against loss by a holder and can be fitted to the finger.

Description

Vorrichtung zur Steuerung eines Positionsanzeigers auf einer Sichtanzeige. Diese Steuerung soll mittels einer am Finger befestigten Vorrichtung zur zweidimensionalen Positionierung erfolgen.Device for controlling a position indicator on a visual display. This control is intended to be by means of a device attached to the finger two-dimensional positioning.

Bisherige Vorrichtungen zur Steuerung eines Positionsanzeigers sind die Computermouse die Tastatur, das Digitalisierungsbrett, der Joystick und eine Kugeltypvorrichtung. Desweiteren ist die Steuerung per Sprachsignal möglich.Previous devices for controlling a position indicator are Computer mouse the keyboard, digitizing board, joystick and one Ball-type device. Furthermore, control via voice signal is possible.

Bei den bisherigen Vorrichtungen ist es erforderlich die Hand von der Tastatur abzuheben und eine gesonderte Steuerungseinheit zu bedienen. Dies ist sogar der Fall, wenn die Steuerung in die Tastatur integriert ist.With the previous devices, it is necessary to remove the hand from the keyboard to take off and operate a separate control unit. This is even the case Case when the control is integrated in the keyboard.

Die Steuerung per Sprachsignal hat die Nachteile, daß sie zuerst konfiguriert werden muß und sie derzeit zu ungenau ist.The control via voice signal has the disadvantages that they are configured first must and it is currently too imprecise.

Ein Nachteil den alle bisherigen Vorrichtungen haben, ist die Möglichkeit des unbeabsichtigten Bedienens der Steuerungseinheiten.A disadvantage that all previous devices have is the possibility of unintentional operation of the control units.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der bisherigen Vorrichtungen ist die Abhängigkeit von einer stationären Einrichtung, d. h. Auflagen bei der Mouse, Kabelverbindungen und Festinstallationen, wie z. B. ein Trackball bei einem Laptop.Another disadvantage of the previous devices is the dependence on one stationary facility, d. H. Requirements for the mouse, cable connections and Fixed installations, such as B. a trackball on a laptop.

Die Hände sollten während der Bedienung der Vorrichtung der zweidimensionalen Positionierungssteuerung in der Grundstellung auf der Tastatur verweilen. Eine unbeabsichtigte Bedienung der Vorrichtung soll verhindert werden. The hands should be two-dimensional while operating the device Position control stay in the basic position on the keyboard. Inadvertent operation of the device should be prevented.  

Bei dieser Erfindung erfolgt die Steuerung mittels eines am 2. Glied des Zeigefingers befestigten Ringes. Der Ring wird durch Andrücken ausgelöst und kann somit nicht unbeabsichtigt bedient werden.In this invention, the control is carried out by means of a on the second link of the index finger attached ring. The ring is triggered by pressing and therefore cannot operated unintentionally.

Die Hand kann auf der Tastatur verweilen.The hand can rest on the keyboard.

Es ist keine unbeabsichtigte Bedienung wie bei den bisherigen Positionierungsvorrichtungen möglich.It is not an unintended operation like the previous ones Positioning devices possible.

Der Verzicht auf eine Kabelverbindung zur Steuerungsschnittstelle zeichnen diese Erfindung aus, sowie der Verzicht auf allergieauslösende Materialien beim Aufbau der Vorrichtung.The absence of a cable connection to the control interface characterize this Invention from, and the waiver of allergy-causing materials in the construction the device.

Die Transportfähigkeit und somit die Unabhängigkeit von stationären Anlagen sind somit ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Vorrichtung. The portability and thus the independence from stationary systems are thus another advantage of this device.

Die Hände sollten während der Bedienung der Vorrichtung der zweidimensionalen Positionierungssteuerung in der Grundstellung auf der Tastatur verweilen. Eine unbeabsichtigte Bedienung der Vorrichtung soll verhindert werden. Die Steuerung soll mittels eines am zweiten Glieds des Zeigefingers befestigten Ringes erfolgen. Die im Ring befindliche Kugel wird durch Andrücken ausgelöst und kann somit nicht unbeabsichtigt bedient werden. Die Vorrichtung verfügt außerdem über zwei Funktionsmöglichkeiten, mit denen anwendungsspezifische Abläufe ausgelöst werden können.The hands should be two-dimensional while operating the device Position control stay in the basic position on the keyboard. A unintentional operation of the device should be prevented. The control should be done by means of a ring attached to the second link of the index finger. The ball in the ring is released by pressing it and therefore cannot operated unintentionally. The device also has two Functionalities with which application-specific processes are triggered can be.

Die Ausführung erfolgt durch eine in den Ring integriere Miniaturkugel (1), die durch ein Kugellager (2) gelagert ist. Die Kugel wird durch eine konische Fassung fixiert, um sie gegen unbeabsichtigte Bewegung und gegen Verlust zu schützen. Durch leichten Druck auf die Kugel wird die Federung des Kugellagers gestaucht, so daß die Kugel bewegungsfähig (gangbar) ist. Das Kugellager überträgt die Bewegung der Miniaturkugel an eins Infrarotschnittstelle (3), welche die Signale an den Empfänger des seriellen Ports des Rechners weiterleitet. Die Funktionsmöglichkeit A wird durch stärkeren Druck auf die Miniaturkugel (1) ausgelöst, wobei die Federung des Kugellagers (2) soweit gestaucht wird, so daß die Kugel (1) den Kontakt (4) berührt. Die Funktionsmöglichkeit B wird ausgelöst wie bei Funktionsmöglichkeit A, nur daß zusätzlich der Kontakt (5) durch den benachbarten Finger aktiviert werden muß. (siehe Zeichnung Fig. 1)The design is carried out by a miniature ball ( 1 ) integrated in the ring, which is supported by a ball bearing ( 2 ). The ball is fixed by a conical socket to protect it against unintentional movement and against loss. The spring of the ball bearing is compressed by light pressure on the ball, so that the ball can move. The ball bearing transmits the movement of the miniature ball to an infrared interface ( 3 ), which forwards the signals to the receiver of the serial port of the computer. Function A is triggered by applying greater pressure to the miniature ball ( 1 ), the suspension of the ball bearing ( 2 ) being compressed so far that the ball ( 1 ) touches the contact ( 4 ). Function option B is triggered as with function option A, except that the contact ( 5 ) must also be activated by the adjacent finger. (see drawing Fig. 1)
