Abstract
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Tasten (1) mit integriertem Grafikdisplay (2) zur Steuerung von Funktionen und/oder Abläufen für technische Geräte. Bei Unterhaltungsgeräten sind meist eine sehr unübersichtliche Menge an Betätigungsorganen und Informationsträgern vorhanden, die für den Benutzer verwirrend sind. Bei den immer komplexer werdenden Unterhaltungsgeräten wird dies noch dadurch gesteigert, dass zusätzlich Informationsträger, wie Schilder mit spielbegleitenden Informationen am Unterhaltungsgerät vorhanden sind, z.B. Spielanleitungen, erläuternde Gewinnpläne, Gebrauchs- und Bedienungsanweisungen und gerätespezifische Werbeelemente usw.. Um Unterhaltungsgeräte übersichtlicher und bedienerfreundlicher zu gestalten sind die Tasten (1) zum Einsatz in Unterhaltungsgeräten, insbesondere geldbetätigten Unterhaltungsgeräten vorgesehen. The invention relates to buttons (1) with an integrated graphic display (2) for controlling functions and / or processes for technical devices. In the case of entertainment devices, there is usually a very confusing amount of actuators and information carriers which are confusing for the user. With the ever more complex entertainment devices, this is further increased by the fact that additional information carriers, such as signs with information accompanying the game, are present on the entertainment device, for example game instructions, explanatory profit plans, operating and operating instructions and device-specific advertising elements, etc. In order to make entertainment devices clearer and more user-friendly the buttons (1) are intended for use in entertainment devices, in particular money-operated entertainment devices.
