Abstract
Description
Gegenstandobject
Die uebliche Tisch-Tastatur fuer Computer und -Anwendungen mit 100 und mehr Tasten erfordert die Ausrichtung des ganzen Oberkoerpers nach der Tastatur, und Arm-/Handbewegungen, um Fingerbewegungen/ das Eintippen richtig platzieren zu koennen.The standard desktop keyboard for computers and applications with 100 and more buttons requires the alignment of the whole upper body after the Keyboard, and arm / hand movements to finger movements / typing to place correctly.
Bei mobilen Computern und -Anwendungen, spezell fuer Pocket-Computer fuehrt die Miniaturisierung zu Mini-Tasten oder Ersastzverfahren fuer die Eingabe, zB. Stift fuer die Display-Eingabe.at mobile computers and applications, especially for pocket computers introduces miniaturization to mini-keys or touch-typing procedures, eg. Pen for the display input.
Problemproblem
Dies ist nicht ergonomisch. Eine Optimale Leistung bei der Daten-Eingabe ist so nicht moeglich. Zudem fuehren dadurch Spannungen im Schulter-/Nackenbereich ueber die Jahre zu gesundheitlichen Einschraenkungen und Milliarden Folgekosten bei den Krankenkassen.This is not ergonomic. An optimal performance in data entry is not possible. In addition, this leads to tensions in the shoulder / neck area over the years to health restrictions and billions Follow-up costs at the health insurance companies.
Dies ist nicht ergonomisch. Die Eingabe wird dadurch umstaendlich und muehevoll.This is not ergonomic. The entry is thus circumstantial and muehevoll.
LoesungSolution
Die
Tasten werden in Tastenfeldern so angeordnet, dass die Standard-Tasten
getippt werden koennen ohne dass Hand-/Armbewegungen noetig sind,
und fuer die Zusatz-Tasten nur noch die Hand bewegt werden muss,
um die Tasten zu erreichen. (
Vorteiladvantage
Mit dieser neuen Tasten-Anordnung, und ohne der vorigen Probleme, kann die Eingabe-Leistung gesteigert werden, und koennen gesundheitliche Probleme vermieden werden.With this new key arrangement, and without the previous problems, can The input performance can be increased, and can health Problems are avoided.
Mit
dieser neuen Tasten-Anordnung, und ohne die vorigen Probleme kann
die Tastatur bei handlicher Tastengroesse auf die Grosse zweier
Haende reduziert werden, und hat als Pocket-Ausfuehrung am/mit Pocket-Computer
in der Jackentasche Platz. (
