Abstract
Touch Screen Tastaturen sind mittlerweile weltweit Standard bei IT-Endgeräten. Die herkömmlichen Verfahren der Texteingaben sind für die miniaturisierten Bildschirme von z. B. der Smart Watches denkbar ungeeignet. Das neue Verfahren garantiert eine komfortable, stressfreie Texteingabe. 6 zeigt das Verfahren. Auf dem Minibildschirm ist eine Volltastatur aufgespielt. Beim Anwählen der Taste eines Zielzeichens wird verfahrensgemäß, auf Grund der kleinen Tastenfläche, eine Mehrzahl von weiteren Tasten vom Fingerabdruck mit abgedeckt. Die Definition des real gewählten Zielzeichens erfolgt durch den Kreisbogen des Abdruckes der Fingerkuppe. Der höchste Punkt des Kreisbogens bestimmt die Spalte 6.1, die oberste voll abgedeckte Taste 6.2 bestimmt die das real gewählte Zeichen, im Beispiel das ”Z”.Touch screen keyboards are now standard in IT terminals worldwide. The conventional methods of text input are for the miniaturized screens of e.g. As the smart watches conceivable unsuitable. The new procedure guarantees comfortable, stress-free text input. 6 shows the method. On the mini screen, a full keyboard is installed. When selecting the key of a target character, according to the method, due to the small key surface, a plurality of other keys covered by the fingerprint. The definition of the real target mark is made by the arc of the imprint of the fingertip. The highest point of the circular arc determines the column 6.1, the uppermost completely covered key 6.2 determines the real selected character, in the example the "Z".
Description
Ideeidea
Die Idee der Erfindung ist, ein stressfreies, bedienungsfreundliches Verfahren der Texteingabe auf der miniaturisierten Touch Screen Tastatur der Smart Watches zu schaffen, besonders mit dem Ziel, jedes Zeichen der Tastatur mit jeweils nur einem einzigen Touch zu bestimmen, und zwar mit dem Finger – ohne Hilfe eines Stiftes.The idea of the invention is to provide a stress-free, easy-to-use method of text input on the miniaturized touch screen keypad of smart watches, especially with the aim of determining each character of the keyboard with only a single touch, with the finger - without Help of a pen.
Allgemeiner Stand der TechnikGeneral state of the art
Touch Screen Tastaturen sind weltweit Standard in mobilen IT-Endgeräten wie Smartphones, Tablets usw. Aus Platzgründen und sicherer Bedienbarkeit wird jedoch immer nur eine Teiltastatur auf den Bildschirm gespielt. Zur Eingabe der Zahlen, Großbuchstaben und der diversen Sonderzeichen wird die Tastatur jeweils auf die entsprechende Teiltastatur umgeschaltet.Touch screen keyboards are the standard worldwide in mobile IT devices such as smartphones, tablets, etc. However, for reasons of space and safe operation, only a partial keyboard is ever played on the screen. To enter the numbers, capital letters and the various special characters, the keyboard is always switched to the corresponding sub-keyboard.
Problemproblem
Für die Anwendung bei miniaturisierten Smart Watch Tastaturen sind die bekannten Eingabeverfahren aus Platzgründen denkbar ungeeignet, da außer den Umschaltungen zwischen den Teiltastaturen noch zusätzlich Bereiche innerhalb der Teiltastaturen herausgezoomt werden müssen, um sicher das Zielzeichen mit dem Finger zu treffen.For the application in miniaturized Smart Watch keyboards, the known input methods for reasons of space are conceivable unsuitable, since in addition to the switching between the sub-keyboards additional areas within the sub-keyboards must be zoomed out to safely hit the target character with his finger.
Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen neuen VerfahrensEmbodiment of the new method according to the invention
Auf dem Miniaturbildschirm ist eine Volltastatur aufgespielt. Die Tasten sind zu einem Block in Spalten und Zeilen zusammengefügt.On the miniature screen a full keyboard is installed. The keys are combined into a block in columns and rows.
Die Abmessungen der Tastenflächen sind erfindungsgemäß flächenmäßig derart minimiert, dass beim Anwählen des Zielzeichens, verfahrensgemäß vorgesehen, neben und unterhalb des Zielzeichens weitere Zeichen mit angewählt werden. Je nach Tastenabmessung und Größe der Fingerkuppe können dabei insgesamt bis zu 15 Zeichen angewählt werden.According to the invention, the dimensions of the key surfaces are minimized in terms of area in such a way that, when selecting the target character, according to the method, additional characters are selected next to and below the target character. Depending on the key size and size of the fingertip, a total of up to 15 characters can be selected.
Angewählt heißt im erfindungsgemäßen Beispiel volle Abdeckung der Taste mit dem Finger.Selected in the example of the invention full coverage of the button with your finger.
Die nicht maßstabgerechten Zeichnungen sind auf einem Blatt zusammengefasst, um die Größenrelationen optisch hervorzuheben.The drawings, which are not to scale, are summarized on a single sheet to visually highlight the size relations.
Die realen Abmessungen der erfindungsgemäßen Beispiele zeigt die Tabelle.
Die Lokalisierung der real gewählten Spalte erfolgt ausschließlich durch die höchste Stelle des Kreisbogens des Abdruckes der Fingerkuppe. Die höchste voll abgedeckte Taste in dieser Spalte definiert endgültig das real gewählte Zeichen.The localization of the real selected column is done exclusively by the highest point of the arc of the imprint of the fingertip. The highest fully covered key in this column finally defines the real selected character.
Für den Nutzer gilt es, mit der Fingerkuppe das Zielzeichen voll abzudecken, das darüber liegende Zeichen darf jedoch nur teilweise abgedeckt sein.It is important for the user to fully cover the target character with his fingertip, but the overlying character may only be partially covered.
Ein besonderer Vorzug des Verfahrens ist, dass auch die Zeichen im Randbereich der Tastatur einwandfrei definiert werden. In
Um eine Spalte zielsicher ansteuern zu können, sind die Spalten wechselnd hell und dunkel gegeneinander abgesetzt.To be able to control a column accurately, the columns are alternately bright and dark against each other.
Auch die farbliche Abgrenzung von Buchstaben und Ziffern erleichtert die Bedienung.The color distinction of letters and numbers facilitates the operation.
Die Erzeugung von Großbuchstaben erfolgt ohne die bei allen bekannten Tastaturen erforderliche Umschaltung. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Tastatur wird dagegen normal der Kleinbuchstabe gewählt, dann verbleibt der Finger für eine definierte Zeitspanne gedrückt auf der Taste.Capital letters are generated without the switching required in all known keyboards. In the keyboard according to the invention, however, the lowercase letter is normally selected, then the finger remains pressed on the button for a defined period of time.
ErgebnisResult
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren garantiert dem Nutzer in erster Linie eine stressfreie Texteingabe durch die optisch konstant bleibende Tastatur. Er wird nicht durch fortlaufend wechselnde Oberflächen in seiner Konzentration gestört.The inventive method guarantees the user primarily a stress-free text input through the optically constant keyboard. He is not disturbed in his concentration by continuously changing surfaces.
Die technische Realisierung des Verfahrens ist beim heutigen Stand der Informationstechnik ohne Probleme möglich.The technical realization of the method is possible without problems in the current state of information technology.
