Abstract

The metal keyboard (1) has a variable illuminant retainer, and an illuminant (3) e.g. light emitting diode (LED), controlled by an associated computer. The illuminant is used for prompting and/or for maintenance of a user and/or for displaying operating conditions e.g. free or chargeable usage.

Description

Herkömmliche Metall-Tastaturen (d.h. Tastaturen mit Tasten aus Metall) z.B. zur Bedienung von Kiosk-Systemen oder Informationsterminals sind ohne eingebaute variable Leuchtmittel realisiert. Dadurch wird eine geringe Aufmerksamkeit für potentielle Benutzern an den damit zu bedienenden Informationssystemen erzeugt.conventional Metal keyboards (i.e., keyboards with metal keys) e.g. to Operation of kiosk systems or information terminals are without built-in variable light sources realized. This will be a small Attention for potential users of the information systems to be operated therewith generated.

Der im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Probleme zugrunde, in die Tastatur eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit zur benutzergeführten Bedienung und Anzeige von Betriebszuständen und Informationen zu integrieren.Of the in claim 1 protection invention is based on the problems in the keyboard an additional possibility for user-guided operation and display of operating conditions and integrate information.

Ausführungsbeispiel: Die in 1 dargestellte Eingabe-Einheit enthält eine Tastatur (1) und je nach Ausgestaltung evtl. auch einen Trackball (2). Die Leuchtmittel (3) sind an einer oder mehreren Stellen der Tastatur-Einheit angebracht.Embodiment: The in 1 The input unit shown contains a keyboard ( 1 ) and, depending on the design, possibly also a trackball ( 2 ). The bulbs ( 3 ) are attached to one or more locations of the keyboard unit.

Mit den Leuchtmittel wird erreicht, dass

  • 1. Die Aufmerksamkeit eines Passanten erlangt werden kann.
  • 2. Zusätzliche Informationen angezeigt werden können, z.B. welche Bedieneinheiten vorteilhafterweise jetzt bedient werden sollten (Benutzerführung)
  • 3. der Betriebszustand des angeschlossenen Kiosk-Systems angezeigt werden kann
With the bulbs is achieved that
  • 1. The attention of a passerby can be obtained.
  • 2. Additional information can be displayed, eg which operating units should be operated advantageously now (user guidance)
  • 3. the operating status of the connected kiosk system can be displayed
