Abstract

The metal keyboard includes the usual keyboard portion (1), a track ball (2) or similar pointer device, left key (3) and right key (4) programmed to perform different functions. The track ball, left and right keys resemble mouse buttons, and are arranged to form an ergonomic pointer input for suitable input operation.

Description

Bei herkömmlichen Metalltastaturen für Kiosk-Systeme oder Informationsterminals sind die Maustasten für die Navigation an fest vorgegebenen Positionen der Tastatur angebracht. Dadurch ist es unterschiedlichen Personen mit unterschiedlichen Vorlieben für die Positionen der Maus-Tasten schwierig, flüssig zu navigieren und die Maus-Tasten zu bedienen.at usual Metal keyboards for Kiosk systems or information terminals are the mouse buttons for navigation attached to fixed predetermined positions of the keyboard. Thereby it is different people with different preferences for the Positions of the mouse buttons difficult, fluid to navigate and the Mouse buttons to use.

Der im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine optimale Position für die Maustasten finden zu wollen.Of the in claim 1 protection invention is based on the problem an optimal position for to find the mouse buttons.

Bei der Erfindung werden mehrere Maustasten angebracht. Je nach Programmierung der Tastatur führen alle diese Tasten die selbe Funktion aus oder auch unterschiedlicheat Several mouse buttons are attached to the invention. Depending on the programming lead the keyboard all these buttons have the same function or different

In der 1 ist eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung dieser Erfindung dargestellt. Die Tastatur-Einheit enthält die eigentliche Tastatur (1) und den Trackball (2) oder ein ähnliches Zeiger-Eingabegerät. Die linken Tasten (3) realisieren alle die selbe Funktion „linke Maustaste". Die rechten Tasten (4) realisieren alle die Funktion „rechte Maustaste". Die Verwendung kann aber auch anders programmiert werden.In the 1 an advantageous embodiment of this invention is shown. The keyboard unit contains the actual keyboard ( 1 ) and the trackball ( 2 ) or a similar pointer input device. The left buttons ( 3 ) all realize the same function "left mouse button." The right buttons ( 4 ) all implement the "right mouse button" function, but the use can also be programmed differently.
