Description

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a un nuevo sistema de control para tablets y dispositivos táctiles similares, que presenten unas dimensiones tales en las que sea preciso el empleo de las dos manos para sujetar el dispositivo cuando no se dispone de una superficie de apoyo para la misma. The present invention relates to a new control system for tablets and similar touch devices, which have dimensions such that it is necessary to use both hands to hold the device when there is no support surface for it .

El objeto de la invención es facilitar sensiblemente el control del dispositivo mediante la inclusión de un panel capacitivo posterior que pueda ser utilizado para el control del dispositivo, mediante los dedos del usuario, mientras este sostiene el dispositivo con ambas manos. The object of the invention is to significantly facilitate the control of the device by including a rear capacitive panel that can be used for the control of the device, by the user's fingers, while the user is holding the device with both hands.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En el ámbito de aplicación práctica de la invención, el de los Tablets, y similares, estos dispositivos presentan unas dimensiones tales que, cuando no se dispone de un lugar en el que ser apoyado, como por ejemplo cuando el usuario los utiliza en un sofá o similar, se hace preciso sujetar el dispositivo con ambas manos, por cada uno de sus extremos laterales, lo que complica el control táctil del mismo. In the practical scope of the invention, that of Tablets, and the like, these devices have dimensions such that, when there is no place to be supported, such as when the user uses them on a sofa or similar, it is necessary to hold the device with both hands, for each of its lateral ends, which complicates the tactile control thereof.

Si bien es conocida la inclusión de teclas en los laterales de la carcasa de este tipo de dispositivos, para el control de algunas funciones básicas, como puede ser el control del volumen, pausa, y similares, el control del dispositivo cuando este se tiene que sostener con dos manos sigue siendo muy limitado. Although the inclusion of keys on the sides of the housing of this type of devices is known, for the control of some basic functions, such as volume control, pause, and the like, the control of the device when it has to be Hold with two hands is still very limited.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El sistema de control para Tablets y similares que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, merced a una novedosa estructuración sumamente efectiva. The control system for Tablets and the like that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory manner the aforementioned problem, thanks to a highly effective novel structuring.

Para ello, y partiendo de la estructuración convencional de cualquier Tablet, en la que se define sobre su cara anterior una pantalla táctil asociada a un microprocesador, y a una serie de componentes electrónicos convencionales en este tipo de dispositivos, la invención centra sus características en el hecho de que el dispositivo incorpora adicionalmente, sobre la cara posterior un panel capacitivo que afecta mayoritariamente a dicha cara posterior. For this, and based on the conventional structuring of any Tablet, in which a touch screen associated with a microprocessor is defined on its front face, and a series of conventional electronic components in this type of devices, the invention focuses its characteristics on the fact that the device additionally incorporates, on the rear face a capacitive panel that mostly affects said rear face.

De esta forma, el usuario al sujetar la Tablet con ambas manos apoyará los dedos índice a meñique sobre el panel capacitivo de la cara posterior, el cual estará asociado a un software de control, en función de los movimientos que se hagan con dichos dedos. In this way, the user when holding the Tablet with both hands will support the index fingers to the little finger on the capacitive panel of the back side, which will be associated with a control software, depending on the movements made with said fingers.

El panel capacitivo de la cara posterior podrá ser indistintamente de plástico y cristal, de cristal, con protección o sin protección. The capacitive panel on the back side may be indistinctly of plastic and glass, of glass, with or without protection.

A modo meramente ejemplario se puede programar que el desplazamiento de los dedos en sentido interno/externo de ambas manos controle el zoom de la pantalla, mientras que el desplazamiento de alguno de los dedos en sentido vertical se puede programar para controlar el scroll de la pantalla de la cara anterior y principal del dispositivo. By way of example, it is possible to program that the movement of the fingers in the internal / external direction of both hands controls the zoom of the screen, while the displacement of one of the fingers in the vertical direction can be programmed to control the screen scroll of the front and main face of the device.

De igual manera, el conjunto software/hardware puede detectar el desplazamiento en sentido horizontal, ya sea en dirección interna o externa de los dedos de una sola mano, mientras que los de la otra mano permanecen inalterados, definiéndose dos comandos adicionales configurables para el control del dispositivo, como por ejemplo para cambiar de una aplicación abierta a otra. In the same way, the software / hardware set can detect the displacement horizontally, either in the internal or external direction of the fingers of one hand, while those of the other hand remain unchanged, defining two additional configurable commands for control of the device, such as to switch from one open application to another.

Obviamente, este panel posterior podrá opcionalmente desactivarse, asi como configurarse de acuerdo con las preferencias de cada usuario. Obviously, this rear panel can optionally be deactivated, as well as configured according to the preferences of each user.

Se consigue de esta forma un sistema de control muy cómodo de usar, sumamente práctico, sobretodo en aquellos casos en los que no se dispone de una superficie adecuada para apoyar el dispositivo mientras se está utilizando. In this way, a very convenient to use control system is achieved, very practical, especially in those cases where there is no adequate surface to support the device while it is being used.
