Definitions
- the present invention relates to an input device which is designed as a flat sensor mat, wherein the two-dimensional sensor mat is subdivided into a plurality of sensor fields.
- Such input devices can be used, for example, for learning purposes, educational games, movement games, physical exercise, body awareness training, balance training, and associative ability.
- Previous flat sensor mats have a relatively limited sensor field occupancy, which severely restricts the possibility of use or the task in applications.
- flat sensor mats e.g. used primarily in the entertainment industry to meet certain requirements, such as Movements in directions of arrows, which are shown on the sensor fields, can be imitated by operating the sensor fields with the legs.
- the direction of the arrows is displayed on a monitor, which is to touch an operator in a certain predetermined time frame with the foot and thus activate.
- the performance of the player was therefore solely limited to implementing movement instructions with the legs.
- a thinking power in the sense of a problem solving in addition to the movement performance has hitherto not been present in any sensor mat and can not be realized with conventional applications, so that only limited application possibilities are given.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an input device designed as a flat sensor mat and a method for providing a sensor field. Occupancy assigned output signal to create, which make it possible to realize more complex applications.
- the present invention provides a method and an input device for a flat sensor mat with a plurality of sensor fields, the sensor fields having a plurality of different sensor field occupancies in a multi-occupancy operating mode.
- the present invention provides an input device designed as a planar sensor mat, wherein the input device has a processing device which can provide an output signal that corresponds to the activation of a sensor field of the planar sensor mat, which corresponds to the number of touch associated sensor field occupancy of the sensor field.
- the input device may comprise a processing device with an interaction device for controlling an interaction with an operator, wherein the interaction device outputs interaction prescriptions for the operator, so that the operator based on the interaction specifications by touching a sensor field of the flat sensor mat a to activate expected output signal.
- the finding of the present invention is now to assign at least a portion of the sensor fields on the sensor mat in a multiple occupancy mode multiple functions or sensor field assignments.
- a multiple mode of operation of a flat sensor mat then several actions per sensor field can be activated, so for example, a choice of a number of letters are taken.
- the fields on the sensor mat can represent multiple functions in the multiple occupancy mode of operation, and therefore the number of functions in one mode of operation is not limited to the number of sensor mats. This opens up a variety of applications.
- the input device designed as a flat sensor mat can, in contrast to conventional sensor mats or applications of sensor mats with the associated software, be used independently of specific manufacturer-specific platforms or consoles.
- the sensor mat according to the invention can run on a PC / MAC or on a specially designed console platform independent. From the vendors' point of view, innovations in the form of updates or new versions are less problematic and cost-effective because they do not have to be adapted to different platforms.
- FIG. 1 a shows a schematic representation of an input device in the form of a planar sensor mat, wherein the planar sensor mat according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises a
- FIG. 1b shows the schematic representation of a flat sensor mat with an external processing device or optionally with an internal processing device and a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of the method for providing an output signal associated with a sensor field assignment according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 3 is a computer program flowchart of the method for providing an output signal associated with a sensor array occupancy in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 shows a program flowchart for the process for determining an activated sensor field according to FIG.
- FIG. 1a shows an input device 10 designed as a flat sensor mat, wherein the planar sensor mat is subdivided into a plurality of sensor fields 5-1,..., 5-9. These sensor fields 5-1, ..., 5-9 can be activated by touch.
- the planar sensor mat can have different sensor field assignments in several operating modes. In one Operating mode, the sensor field occupancy 7b, 7b ', 'For example, the arrows and the special characters A (selection) and Z (Back) to be assigned. A single touch of one of these sensor fields 7b, 7b ', 7b''then leads to the activation of this sensor field. Each sensor field in this operating mode is thus assigned to exactly one symbol or one action that can be activated by a touch.
- the sensor fields may be e.g. be assigned to the numbers 0 to 9.
- the sensor field 5-1 of the number 1, sensor field 5-2 of the number 2, sensor field 5-3 of the number 3, etc. can be assigned.
- the sensor field 5-9 has in this embodiment, a multiple use of the numbers 9 and 0 on. That is, in a multiple occupancy mode of operation, at least a portion of the sensor arrays - here sensor array 5-9 - have several different sensor field occupancies - here the numbers 9 and 0.
- Activation of the sensor field occupancy of the "simply” occupied sensor arrays 5-1, ..., 5- The activation of the number 9 on the "multiply” occupied sensor field 5-9 can also be effected by a single touch on the field.
- the number 0 from the multiple assignment of the sensor field 5-9 can then be activated by touching the sensor field 5-9 twice.
- a three-time contact can then serve to activate the number 9 again and accordingly a four-time touch of the sensor field 5-9 again lead to the activation of the number 0, etc.
- this first multiple occupancy mode therefore, only one sensor field, namely sensor field 5-9 has a multiple assignment on.
- the sensor field occupancy may now be associated with the letter AZ and a space 7a.
- the sensor field 5- 1 I associated with a space 7a
- the sensor field 5-2 the letters "A", “B”, and “C”
- the sensor field 5-3 the letters “D”, E “and” F "
- the sensor field 5-3 the letters” G “,” H “and” I "
- the sensor field 5-5 the letters” J “,” K “and” L “
- the sensor field 5-6 the letters” M “,” KT and "0”
- the sensor field 5-7 the letters “P X ⁇ ,” ⁇ T, "R NN and” S M
- the letters "T", “U” and “V” in the sensor field 5-8 the letters "W”, "X", “Y” and “Z” in the sensor field 5-9 by touching the sensor field 5-6 once the letter “M” is activated, by touching the letter 1 "N” twice and by pressing the sensor field 5-6 three times the letter “0".
- Another touch of the sensor field 5-6 then causes the selection from the multiple occupancy starts again from the beginning, so that when touched four times again the letter "M” is activated, with five presses again the letter “N” and six times Again, the letter "0" It is also conceivable that after a predetermined timeout the selection from the multiple occupancy begins again at the first sensor field selection.
- the planar sensor mat 10 therefore has, for example in an operating mode, active assignment with symbols, such as, for example, arrows 7 b or special characters 7 b ', 7 b ".
- the sensor fields 5-1,..., 5-9 can have a different sensor field assignment, for example with numbers, letters or colors.
- a multi-operation mode of the input device at least one sensor field can be assigned to a plurality of different sensor field assignments.
- the sensor field 5-6 can have an assignment with different letters "M", "N" and "0." Since the activation of a sensor field is effected by touch, the selection can now be made from the different sensor field occupancy of the sensor field 5-6 in the multi-occupancy mode of operation by the number of touches and the corresponding selection of the letter.
- at least a part of the sensor fields of the planar sensor mat in a multiple occupancy operating mode can each have a plurality of different sensor field occupancies, wherein the different sensor field occupancies of a sensor field are assigned to a different number of contacts of this sensor field.
- the embodiment of the input device designed as a planar sensor mat according to the invention therefore consists, inter alia, of providing different sensor field occupancies for at least part of the sensor fields in a multiple occupancy mode of operation in order to enable more complex application possibilities.
- the planar sensor mat 10 has nine flat sensor fields 5-1,..., 5-9 in a 3 ⁇ 3 matrix arrangement.
- An input device 10 designed as a flat sensor mat can thus represent a sensor matrix with a two-dimensional arrangement of sensors.
- other sensor field arrangements are also conceivable, such as e.g. a 2x2, 4x4, 3x2 or 4x3 sensor array.
- the sensor arrays can also have a different planar geometric design. You can e.g. be round, triangular, star-shaped, trapezoidal, etc.
- the flat sensor mat 10 may also have a different geometric shape than a rectangular shape.
- a sensor field occupancy may include, for example, letters, numbers, colors, symbols, images and icons, sounds or clefs. In other embodiments, any combination thereof may serve as sensor field occupancy. Examples For example, a multiple sensor array can also consist of letters, numbers, symbols and colors.
- the sensor fields can be designed so that they can be activated by touch. This contact can be done for example by the feet or hands of an operator. Accordingly, the size of a sensor array may correspond in size to approximately the size of a hand or a foot of an operator.
- a sensor field of the sensor mat can have a size of 20 ⁇ 20 cm, 30 ⁇ 30 cm, 30 ⁇ 15 cm or even 50 ⁇ 50 cm.
- a sensor field of the input device can thus be designed so that it can be activated by touching a foot or a hand of an operator and in Mehrfachberegungs GmbH dessr ⁇ odus a selection of a different sensor field occupancy of this sensor field can be made by repeated touches.
- the sensor fields can be designed such that they are, for example, sensitive to pressure and as a result an electrical signal is triggered or else electrically activatable due to the skin conductivity of an operator.
- the activation of a sensor field assignment can be performed in one operating mode by simple touch and in a multi-operation mode u.U. by multiple touching one of the fields of this sensor array - the input device 10 - are performed.
- the multiple assignment of the sensor field in a multiple occupancy operating mode leads to a multiplication of the input possibilities with a flat sensor mat and thus allows the implementation of more complex applications than with previous flat sensor mats.
- the input device 10 which is designed as a flat sensor mat, as described above, a multiple assignment of the fields 5-1, ..., 5-9, for example, with symbols, numbers, letters, special characters, etc. have.
- the sensor field assignment is always active, which by a assigned operating mode is activated.
- the input device 10 may be in an operating mode in which, for example, the arrows 7b (see FIG. 1a) and special characters A (selection) 7b 'and Z (back) 7b "are active. An operator can then perform an input of a change of the operating mode, so that, for example, a multi-occupancy mode of operation is active.
- the input device can therefore have several operating modes.
- One of these operating modes can then also be the above-mentioned multiple-use operating mode, in which the sensor fields have a multiple assignment, for example with letters, as is the case, for example, for the sensor field 5-6 in FIG.
- An active sensor field assignment can be displayed, for example, on a monitor or on the sensor fields themselves, by optical highlighting, in order to display to an operator the respectively active sensor field occupancy.
- An input device 10 which is designed as a flat sensor mat, may, for example, in one exemplary embodiment comprise a processing device 15, this processing device being in the form of software, that is, a computer program or hardware, i. in the form of electrical circuits, may be formed.
- the conditioning means 15 may be configured to provide an output signal indicative of the sensor field occupancy associated with the number of touches in response to activation of a sensor array 5-1, ..., 5-9 in a multi-occupancy mode of operation.
- the processing device can, as can be seen in FIG. 1 b, be, for example, an externally arranged processing device which can be coupled to the planar sensor mat via a wired or wireless connection 15 a.
- the planar sensor mat may have an interface 12 via which it is coupled to the external processing device 15.
- the input device according to the invention can thus be designed so that it can be used platform-independent and can not be used only on a PC, a MAC or a specific console. A platform-independent application can enable a more cost-effective and universally applicable input device.
- the coupling between the processing device 15 and the flat sensor mat 10 can be wired or wireless, eg via wireless local area network (WLAN), Bluetooth, infrared or via wireless USB.
- the processing device 15 can optionally also be integrated in the planar sensor mat 10, as indicated by the dashed line 15 in FIG.
- the processing device can be designed as a software or as a hardware.
- the integrated conditioning device 15 may in turn be connected to an interface 12 for providing an output signal responsive to activation of a sensor array 5-1, ..., 5-9 in a multi-occupancy mode of operation, the number of touches of that sensor field indicates assigned sensor field occupation.
- the output signal may be an electrical output signal.
- the processing device 15 is designed to determine an activated sensor field occupancy of a sensor field in the multiple occupation mode by evaluating the number of contacts of this sensor field by assigning the number of contacts to the corresponding sensor field occupancy.
- the processing device which can be present, for example, as a computer program, may therefore be suitable for example (see FIG. 1a) if the sensor field 5-6 is touched once in the multiple occupancy mode in which the letters on the sensor fields are activated Select "M" and provide a corresponding output signal at the interface 12. If the sensor field 5-6 is touched twice, then a corresponding output signal for the letter "N" at the interface 12 can be provided. By activating the sensor field 5-6 three times, after evaluation of the number of touches by the processing device, an output signal assigned to the letter "0" can then be provided.
- the input device 10 may include a display device 20 configured to reproduce an operator-activated output signal.
- the display device may be, for example, as indicated in FIG. 1b, a television, a monitor or another visual display device.
- the playback device may also be a loudspeaker, for example, which can reproduce activated acoustic signals or tones via the sensor field assignment.
- the display device 20 may be configured to be visually, acoustically or haptically, e.g. by vibration, to reproduce output signals.
- an input device 10 may include a rendering device 15, further comprising an interaction device 23, wherein the interaction device is configured to control interaction with an operator of the input device 10.
- the interaction device 23 can be designed to provide interaction specifications for an operator of the input device, so that the operator should activate an expected output signal based on the interaction specifications by touching a sensor field of the planar sensor mat.
- the interaction device 23 of a Make operator a default.
- Such a default may be, for example, an instruction, a question, a visual, audible, or haptic signal that would require an operator to operate a particular sensor field to produce an expected output signal.
- the interaction device 23 can now be integrated in the planar sensor mat 10 and be part of the integrated processing device 15 or also part of an external console or part of an external processing device 15. It can run as program code on a computer that cooperates with the flat sensor mat is coupled.
- the interaction device can be implemented both as software and as hardware.
- an operator for example by means of a computer program, to be given an interaction specification, so that the operator should touch a sensor field on the basis of the interaction specification predetermined by the computer program in order to activate an expected output signal.
- the interaction device can provide an operator with a task that the operator is supposed to solve by touching a certain or several specific sensor fields.
- the playback device 20 may be used to reproduce the operator-activated output signal and / or to reproduce interaction preferences of the interaction device 23 for the operator.
- the display device 20 may be configured to visually, acoustically, or haptically reproduce the operator-activated output signal and / or operator interaction intent; An operator can thus receive an interaction specification, eg displayed on a monitor 20. Based on this interaction guideline, the operator should activate one or more sensor fields by touch to correctly fulfill the interaction prescription.
- the input device may include sensor arrays with display devices.
- the input device may not include an external display device such as a monitor, a television, or a speaker. Rather, a speaker can be integrated in the sensor mat, or each sensor field can have a loudspeaker, which then emits a specific tone or tone sequence when actuated by the operator.
- such a sensor field can also have organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in a planar form with different emitting colors and an arbitrary planar configuration.
- OLEDs organic light-emitting diodes
- Such OLEDs can also be produced on flexible substrates, that is to say can be bendable and flexible like a mat, and thus quite easily be integrated into a sensor mat according to the invention.
- organic LEDs it is possible, for example, to display certain symbols or sensor field occupancies of a sensor field in a luminous area when activated, or to optically highlight an activatable selection (eg numbers, letters or colors).
- an interaction device to issue an interaction specification to an operator, for example, by means of differently lit sensor fields, and this operator then selects an expected output signal upon actuation of correspondingly illuminating sensor fields.
- the flat sensor mat can light up so for example by repeatedly touching a corresponding sensor field, different currently active sensor field assignments.
- a multi-occupancy mode of operation may be selected via a menu selection such that upon selection of the multi-occupancy mode of operation, the sensor arrays may be activated with their different sensor field occupancies by touch and depending on the number of touches. The respective active sensor field occupancy can then be visually highlighted on the sensor field.
- the input device which is designed as a flat sensor mat 10, have a conditioning device 15, which also has a comparison device 17.
- This comparison device 17 can be designed to compare an output signal activated by an operator with an output signal to be expected on the basis of the interaction specification by an interacting device 23, in order to obtain an output signal evaluation.
- the comparison device 23 may be coupled with the interaction device for this purpose.
- the comparison device can be arranged externally in accordance with the interaction device or the processing device and can be coupled to the planar sensor mat 10 or integrated in it.
- the comparison device 23 may again be embodied as software in the form of a computer program or a part of a computer program or be present as hardware in the form of electronic circuits.
- the comparator 17 may further be configured to store the output signal evaluation and to provide an output signal evaluation list (high score) based on a plurality of stored output signal evaluations.
- the comparison device can thus be designed to initiate the storage of the output signal evaluation or to perform it yourself.
- the result of this output signal evaluation can be reproduced visually, acoustically or haptically to an operator by the display device 20 or by sensor fields that are designed as a display device. An operator can thus detect whether or not the sensor field activated by his touch and the corresponding output signal correspond to the expected output signal given by the interaction specification of the interaction device. The operator can therefore check the correctness of his input to the interaction preset by the interaction device by means of a visual, acoustic or haptic reproduction.
- an interaction constraint may be derived from a sequence, i. multiple letters, numbers, characters, tones, colors, notes, symbols or a combination of these.
- an interaction preset may be a word of several letters or a number of several numbers and so on.
- An expected due to an interaction specification output or an input of an operator can then also from a sequence of letters, numbers, characters, tones, colors, notes, symbols or a combination of letters, numbers, characters, tones, colors, notes, symbols consist.
- This sequence can then be activated by an operator by touching a corresponding sequence of sensor fields.
- the comparator 17 can now be designed to perform an output signal evaluation for each output signal of a sequence of letters, numbers, etc. and thus to carry out an output signal evaluation for the output signal sequence.
- the input device can thus with relatively few sensor fields more complex applications be enabled.
- the use of nine sensor fields 5-1,..., 5-9 in a multi-occupancy mode of operation makes it possible to display the entire alphabet AZ.
- a trained as a flat sensor mat input device can be used for a variety of purposes. Use may be, for example, in interaction with an operator, wherein the different sensor field occupancies provided on the sensor fields in a multiple occupancy mode of operation are selectable by the operator according to the number of touches of the sensor fields.
- the different sensor field occupancy of a sensor field can be written or printed, for example, on the sensor field.
- a display device e.g. Display a monitor with the current occupancy.
- the active sensor field occupancy of the sensor field can also be illuminated or optically emphasized.
- the sensor mat can therefore also be designed so that the "labeling" of the sensor fields adapts to the respectively active field occupancy.
- new content applications can be realized by the surface sensor mat.
- learning tasks that are provided by an interaction device of an operator can be combined with movement tasks, namely by touching the corresponding sensor fields.
- the operator not only exercises a stimulus response based on the interaction prescription, but must also solve a brain-teaser based on the interaction requirement, associate the correct field and implement a corresponding movement.
- the setup device can be used to provide a learning material, Body awareness, sense of balance, the association of the right field and the number of necessary contacts of the field to train.
- the input device which is designed as a flat sensor mat, have an interaction device that specifies interaction specifications to an operator via a display device.
- Such an interaction specification could be, for example, the following: search for the letter "X ⁇ , search the number" 5 ", whereupon the operator should actuate the corresponding sensor field
- search for the letter "X ⁇ , search the number" 5 " whereupon the operator should actuate the corresponding sensor field
- a more complicated application possibility may be, for example, the translation of foreign-language words, for example an operator
- the input device may have a multiple-occupancy mode of operation that allows a sensor field to assign multiple different sensor field occupancies, and a comparator may then compare the operator's input to the expected translated foreign word.
- an interaction specification with a time specification can be output to the operator, so that the expected due to the interaction requirement
- an interaction target may be: "Translate the word table to English” and a corresponding translation timing may be 20 seconds, for example, in which the operator selects the appropriate sensor fields for It is also conceivable, for example, to input four-digit numbers with all the extremities (legs and arms) on the sensor mat at the same time or in a predetermined period of time be a "grinding by numbers" game with your legs or a "memory” game with your legs, and so on.
- the input device designed as a flat sensor mat can be used as a "dance mat" in a learning and movement game, for example.
- the assignment is always active, which is relevant in the assigned game mode (operating mode). If a player is in a menu selection, then, for example, the arrows or special characters A (selection) and Z (back) (see FIG. 1 a) are active. The player is then asked various tasks by the interaction device, which are displayed on a monitor. The player then solves these problems by jumping to the corresponding sensor fields of the connected sensor mat.
- a calculation task is performed by the interaction device, the number fields are active, and the letters are active for tasks with voice responses and number assignment is again multi-dimensional - a sensor field thus has several different sensor field assignments, ie it is in a multiple occupancy mode.
- a learning process for learning contents which, for example, children perceive as boring, such as eg vocabulary learning and conjugation by movement elements, can be made more attractive. Learning is then no longer in the foreground, but can be perceived by children rather as a side effect. This can lead to a higher learning motivation.
- the movement elements can also train the movement coordination and balance of an operator conceivable that the input device according to the invention for both children, adults, as well as older people who need specific movement incentives, is used.
- the flat sensor mat according to the invention allows a variety of processing of discrete and concrete characters by controlling, selecting characters, organizing, ie the - use of characters on the basis of a defined task, e.g. Assigning colors, writing words, moving things, placing, arranging or modulating, etc. Furthermore, by validating, that is, testing and by auditory, visual or haptic representation.
- the input device 10 or the processing device 15 may have an internal or external power supply. This means that the planar sensor mat 10 can be operated, for example, by means of batteries or else, if appropriate via an adapter, connected to the power supply of a building or another device.
- FIG. 2 shows a flow diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the method for providing an output signal associated with a sensor field assignment.
- the method relates to an input device designed as a planar sensor mat, the planar sensor mat being subdivided into a plurality of sensor fields which can be activated by touch, the sensor fields each having a plurality of different sensor field occupancies in a multiple occupancy mode of operation, and wherein the different Sensor field assignments of a sensor field of a different number of contacts are assigned to this sensor field.
- the method may comprise the following steps according to some embodiments:
- Determining 100 the activated sensor field occupancy of a sensor field by evaluating the number of touches of this sensor field by the number of touches the sensor field assignment is assigned and by a step of providing 102 of the output signal indicating the determined sensor field occupancy.
- a sensor field in a multiple operating mode of this flat sensor mat, can have a different sensor field occupancy, which comprises, for example, letters, numbers, numbers, characters, tones, colors, notes, clefs, symbols or a combination of those just mentioned.
- a specific sensor field occupancy in a multiple occupancy operating mode, can be selected from a number of different sensor field occupancies for a sensor field as a function of the number of contacts of this sensor field.
- the method may be applied to individual characters, letters, numbers, etc., or the steps of determining 100 activated sensor field occupancy and providing 102 the output signal may be repeated to indicate a sequence of output signals associated with letters, numbers, characters, numbers, tones, colors, notes, clefs, symbols, or any combination thereof.
- the method may also include steps of comparing the sensor field activated by touch with the last activated (touched) sensor field to decide whether to select from multiple different sensor field occupancies of the correspondingly activated sensor field in a multiple occupancy mode of operation. Further, the method may include counting the number of touches of the activated sensor array to compare this number of touches with a possible number of different sensor field occupancies of that sensor array. If the number of touches is greater than the number of possible different sensor field assignments of the sensor field, then a counter in which the number of touches of the sensor field is temporarily stored can be reset to a start time. Initialization value, eg 0 are set. For example, the letter "M" can again be activated by touching the sensor field 5-6 in Fig.
- the number of possible different sensor field occupancies for the sensor field 5-6 in Fig. 1a is, for example, 3, namely "M ⁇ , "N" and "0", for the sensor field 5-7, the number of different sensor field assignments eg 4.
- the determination of the activated sensor field occupancy of a sensor field by evaluating the number of touches this sensor field can now be carried out, for example, in a computer program in a list is selected based on the activation of the special sensor field and the number of touches of the specific sensor field a character or an output signal for this character.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show a program flow chart of an exemplary embodiment for implementing the method for providing len of a sensor field assignment associated output signal.
- a word of several letters that is, a sequence of letters
- the activated by touch letters can be specified for example via a display device.
- a processing device can be designed, for example, as a computer program, wherein, as in FIG. 3, the program sequence (PAP) of this computer program can proceed as follows.
- the variable Lb containing information on the last printed key
- the variable P indicating the current position of a letter m of the searched word W
- an input E ie the touch of a sensor field, is awaited.
- step 32 Upon activation of a sensor field in a multi-occupancy mode of operation, in step 32 the activated letter B is determined from the input E and the keystroke payer C.
- the program flow chart for determining the letter will be explained in more detail in connection with FIG. 4.
- B is provided 33, and in a subsequent step of comparing 34, it is checked whether the current activated letter B corresponds to the searched letter in the word W. It is therefore checked whether the letter in the word W to be searched for corresponds to the corresponding pending position P, which indicates the current position in the word W, coincides with the output letter B.
- an action 39 is performed that indicates to an operator that the input or activation of a sensor field does not match the expected output signal. That is, if necessary, this input may be repeated by the operator or stored as an error in an output signal evaluation list, for example, by a comparator for output signal evaluation.
- step 40 a comparison is made in step 40 as to whether the currently activated sensor field or the currently depressed key E corresponds to the last pressed key Lb or not.
- a different sensor field occupancy of an activated sensor field is now assigned due to the different number of touches or activations of this sensor field.
- a check is made in this exemplary embodiment for the method for providing an output signal associated with a sensor field assignment as to whether the number of possible assignments of the key E or of the sensor field is greater than the current key-press number C. If the number of possible assignments of the key E is larger, in the computer program from a multi-dimensional "character" field (char array), which has all possible assignments of the individual keys, C and E, the letter B is determined, which is then in a step 33 (see FIG.
- the first assignment possibility namely the letter "M”
- the first assignment possibility is activated here again, for example when pressed four times in the multiple occupancy mode.
- the method according to the invention can therefore also be a test method in which a comparison of the task and activated characters takes place and a "feedback" corresponding to the specification is output.
- an input device which is designed as a flat sensor mat
- the sensor mat can have sensor fields with multiple occupancies and different subject-related sensor field occupancies.
- These sensor field assignments can be multidimensional, ie, for example, numbers can be active in one operating mode, letters can be activated in another operating mode, for example, and in a multiple operating mode, different sensor field assignments can be activated by means of a sensor field, so a sensor field can have multiple choices, such as "A” , "B” and "C”.
- This input device can by means of hardware or software, so a computer program, implemented applications that allow complex applications such as the input of words, solving math problems, etc. due to the multi-dimensional field occupancy.
- the combination of exercise, coordination, and learning can result in improved memory performance in applications of this input device, for easier learning and body awareness, and for stimulating physical activity.
- the sequence of steps associated with a solution of interaction prescription may serve as a reminder of memory, eg, of vocabulary, in the sense of an applied memo technique.
- controlling the input device by selecting, so for example, the activation of characters by simple or multiple contact of one or more sensor feider the sensor matrix done.
- the motivation for learning can be achieved on the one hand via the urge to move, on the other hand, for example, via a high score list - the initial signal evaluation list.
- the leaderboard may also include a time-correctness of the answers.
- motion coordination and the sense of balance can also be trained in applications. In other applications, for example, older people can motivate their knowledge to move by carrying out certain movements to activate the corresponding sensor fields based on their knowledge of an interaction specification.
- the method can also be implemented as software.
- the implementation can be done on a digital storage medium, in particular a floppy disk, a CD or DVD with electronically readable control signals, which can cooperate with a programmable computer system that the corresponding method is performed.
- the invention thus also consists in a computer program product with program code stored on a machine-readable carrier for carrying out the method, when the computer program product runs on a computer or a corresponding processor.
- the invention can thus be realized as a computer program with a program code for carrying out the method, when the computer program product runs on a computer or a console, such as the processing device.
- the input device according to the invention can also be used for medical purposes, such as for examining the ability to concentrate, the motor skills ability or responsiveness of an operator or a patient, or for therapeutic treatment of patients for such capabilities. Also conceivable is the application as an input device for the physically disabled, infirm, as a therapy device for the elderly in the course of a movement therapy or as a memory trainer.
