Definitions

  • the invention relates to a functional keyboard with signal device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a functional keyboard with signal device for data entry by the user of a technical device, such as Pocket calculators, measuring devices, handheld programming devices for industrial robots, driving data computers for motor vehicles.
  • the individual keys or the area between the keys have a character or a combination of characters to identify the associated function. Because of the lack of space, the dimensions of function keyboards are usually only chosen to be as large as is necessary due to the size of the operating human fingers, the individual function keys only have a space-saving designation in the form of an alphanumeric abbreviation of the associated function name or a symbol or even just one Color code on.
  • function keyboards where the individual keys can be assigned multiple functions, so that several labels must be placed on or next to the key. Using shift keys, the user selects the desired current keyboard function assignment here. This designation leads to the user having to learn the assignment between function names and keyboards based on the instructions for use of the technical device.
  • the invention has for its object to achieve a complete identification of the keys of a function keyboard without the space requirement of the keyboard is increased significantly and without the identification only after a function is triggered.
  • the advantages that can be achieved with the invention exist in that the user can make sure of the current key assignment and its detailed description before triggering a function. Furthermore, the space requirement of the keyboard in optical display is increased only by the area of the display common to all keys. With an acoustic display, there is no additional space requirement at all and there is the additional advantage of blind operation, ie the user can trigger functions without looking.
  • Two signals are derived from the function keyboard 11 per key.
  • the first signal displays the detailed description of the function, which can be triggered with the key.
  • This signal reaches a decoder 12, the output of which is fed to a control device 13.
  • the control unit reads out the function designation from the memory 14.
  • the control designation 15 shows the function designation on the optical display 16 and / or makes it audible with the voice output 17.
  • the second signal of the key is fed via the decoder 18 to the device 19 to be used, where the intended function is triggered.
  • Alphanumeric lines are suitable as optical display 16, the number of digits of which results from the longest function designation (light-emitting diode, liquid crystal, plasma displays and others).
  • An alternative or a supplement to the visual display is the acoustic display 17 in the form of an output of synthetically generated or stored speech.
  • Fig. 2 shows an example of the execution of the buttons in cross section.
  • the button head 1 When the button head 1 is pressed first closed via the spring 2 and the tube 3, the first switch 4, which causes the display of the function identification.
  • the second switch 5 closes, which triggers the function of the device.
  • the design of the effective spring forces is to be chosen so that there is tactile, ie perceptible feedback by the finger's sense of touch of the times of closing the two switches 4 and 5.
  • the voice output of the function name can also be suppressed, e.g. not to bother an experienced user.
  • the speech output is suppressed when the button to the second switch 5 is pressed quickly.
  • Another advantageous possibility is to cancel the voice output as soon as the second switch 5 is closed.
  • buttons with two switches are also suitable for realizing the buttons with two switches.
  • the position of the finger within the keypad can be determined by means of light barriers or by ultrasound location to display the function designation. In this case, only buttons with a switch are required for the subsequent function triggering.
  • the digits 1 .... n indicate the number of times the first button is pressed.
