Abstract

The keyboard used in a computer system is configured as a unit in which the symbols can be changed . For this purpose on or more mini display screens are used to represent symbols that are generated by the computer . The display can be in the form of an LCD panel or other opto electrical system. The keys may be transparent and have a projection lens.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tastatur (besonders für den Computer) mit Tasten-Mini­ bildschirmen für das elektronisch wechselnde Symbolsystem.The invention relates to a keyboard (especially for the computer) with mini keys screens for the electronically changing symbol system.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tastatur mit Tasten-Minibildschirmen für das elektronisch wechselnde Symbolsystem im Vergleich zu den heutigen Tastaturen, die sind blinde zum diesen Symbolwechsel. Mit neuer Tastatur man kann sofort die Symbol-Zeichnen auf den Tasten wechseln. Es ist sehr wichtig für die Verbesserung der Benutzung der verschiedenen existierenden Symbolsystemen.The invention relates to a keyboard with key mini-screens for the electronic changing symbol system compared to today's keyboards, which are blind to this symbol change. With a new keyboard you can immediately draw the symbols on the Change keys. It is very important to improve the use of the various existing symbol systems.

Heutige Tastatur-Symbole sind rigid, und aus diesem Grund sind sie veraltet im Vergleich zu den Möglichkeiten der modernen Symbolsoftware. Die Menschen, die heute mit Computer und moderner Symbolsoftware arbeiten, können einfach verschiedene nötigen Symbolsystemen benutzen, z. B. die von einer Sprache in die andere leicht zu wechseln. Es ist sehr wichtig bei heutigen multikulturellen und multisprachlichen Gesellschaften. Aber die elektronischen Handtastaturen sind noch rigid.Today's keyboard symbols are rigid, and for this reason they are out of date in comparison to the possibilities of modern symbol software. The people who use computers today and modern symbol software can simply require various things Use symbol systems, e.g. B. easily switch from one language to another. It is very important in today's multicultural and multilingual societies. But the electronic hand keyboards are still rigid.

Angebotene Erfindung löst dieses Problem durch die Benutzung einer elektronisch leitenden sensorischen (z. B. visuellen) Symbolrepräsentation für einige Tastaturtasten. Es bedeutet, daß (mindesten eine, oder mehrere) Tastaturtasten einen elektronisch leitenden Minibildschirm haben, wo die neuen nützlichen, arbeitenden Tastatur-Symbole (oder kompakte Symbolkombination) darstellen werden können. Dieser elektronisch leitende Minibildschirm kann z. B. wie eine visuelle Flüssigkristall-Darstellung-Vorrichtung gemacht werden. Dabei können solche elektronisch leitende Minisymbolgestalte nicht nur einfach visuell-graphisch (schwarz-weiß) sein, die können auch farbig, akustisch, taktil, und so weit. gemacht werden. Man kann dafür eine sensorische Quelle oder die Kombination von verschiedenen menschlichen Sensorkanäle benutzen. Mit solcher Tastatur man kann auch, z. B. in der Dunkelheit tippen.The invention offered solves this problem by using an electronically senior sensory (e.g. visual) symbol representation for some keyboard keys. It means that (at least one or more) keyboard keys are electronically conductive Have mini screen where new useful, working keyboard symbols (or compact symbol combination) can be represented. This electronically conductive Mini screen can e.g. B. made like a visual liquid crystal display device become. Such electronically conductive mini-symbol shapes can not only be simple be visual-graphic (black and white), they can also be colored, acoustic, tactile, and so on far. be made. You can use a sensory source or the combination of use different human sensor channels. With such a keyboard you can also e.g. B. type in the dark.

Auf einer Tastatur-Taste kann man sich nicht nur einen quasi-flächigen Minibildschirm plazieren, man kann auch andere sichtbare Tastenfläche benutzen und es kann z. B. auf einer Taste die zwei Minibildschirmfenstern sein, die auf verschiedene Tastenflächen befestigen.On a keyboard key you can not only get a quasi-flat Place mini screen, you can also use other visible buttons and it can e.g. B. on a button be the two mini-windows that point to different Fasten the button areas.

Solche Minibildschirmkonstruktion man kann auch aus einem allgemeinen, großen und nicht beweglichen, elektronisch leitenden Bildschirm bauen. Solcher Bildschirm kann unten den beweglichen mechanischen Tastaturtasten legen und dabei nötigen Tastenseiten transparent sind und z. B. wie kleine Linsen gebaut werden, oder man kann auch für jedes Symbolbild das Projektionsprinzip benutzen. So kann man alle nötige wechselnde Tastensymbole sehen, die auf solcher Tastaturbildschirm-Matrix vorstellbar sind.Such mini screen construction can also be made from a general, large one and build a non-moving, electronically conductive screen. Such a screen can below the movable mechanical keyboard keys and the necessary key pages are transparent and e.g. B. how to build small lenses, or you can do it for everyone Symbolic image use the projection principle. So you can change all necessary See key symbols that can be imagined on such a keyboard screen matrix.

Solche allgemeine Minibildschirmkonstruktion man kann auch auf kaum beweglichem, elektronisch leitenden Bildschirm bauen, der auf einer plastischen Basis gemacht wird und über den flächigen Tastaturtasten liegt.Such general mini-screen construction can hardly be done build a mobile, electronically conductive screen that is based on a plastic base is made and lies over the flat keyboard keys.
