Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de commande du déplacement du pointeur d'écran informatique ainsi que des actions habituellement générées par le déclenchement des clics gauche et droit des souris traditionnelles Ces actions sont habituellement effectuées à l'aide d'une souris située à coté du clavier et nécessitent le déplacement des doigts vers cette dernière, sollicitant à chaque fois un effort du poignet ainsi que du bras et de l'épaule d'où l'apparition à la longue de rhumatismes chez certains utilisateurs. Ces déplacements répétitifs demandent aussi parfois un détournement du regard pour attraper la souris et finissent par produire une déconcentration de l'esprit sans compter le temps perdu sur un travail si l'on additionne les temps nécessaires à ces allers retours. The present invention relates to a device for controlling the movement of the computer screen pointer as well as the actions usually generated by the triggering of the left and right clicks of the traditional mouse. These actions are usually carried out using a mouse located near the computer. keyboard and require the movement of the fingers towards the latter, each time requesting a wrist effort as well as the arm and shoulder where the appearance of long-term rheumatism in some users. These repetitive movements also sometimes require a diversion of the eye to catch the mouse and eventually produce a deconcentration of the mind not to mention the time lost on a job if we add up the necessary times for these round trips.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. II est constitué selon une première caractéristique par un module de plastique souple comportant deux bagues ouvertes à insérer sur l'index et le majeur et d'un module de type boîtier plat surmontant le premier module et comprenant la partie électronique du système. Les bagues comportent chacune sous leurs parties inférieures un contacteur électrique de type bouton poussoir actionnable par pression de la partie inférieure des deuxièmes phalanges lors de la flexion des doigts. Ces boutons poussoir agissent en tant que clic gauche et clic droit. Le deuxième module comporte sur le coté un dispositif de type boule ou plaque tactile ou autre système destiné au déplacement du pointeur et actionné par le pouce. Il inclut aussi la partie électronique à savoir circuit imprimé et composants nécessaires pour émettre les signaux électriques vers l'ordinateur soit par câble soit par émission radio ou infrarouge. Ainsi l'utilisateur a de manière définitive l'usage des commandes sous et sur les phalanges tout en disposant de la liberté totale de sa main et de ses doigts. The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages. It is constituted according to a first feature by a flexible plastic module comprising two open rings to be inserted on the index and middle fingers and a flat-type module surmounting the first module and comprising the electronic part of the system. The rings each comprise under their lower parts an electric switch type push button actuated by pressing the lower part of the second phalanges during bending of the fingers. These push buttons act as left click and right click. The second module has on the side a ball-type device or touch plate or other system for moving the pointer and operated by the thumb. It also includes the electronic part namely printed circuit and components necessary to transmit the electrical signals to the computer either by cable or by radio or infrared transmission. Thus the user has definitively the use of the controls under and on the knuckles while having the total freedom of his hand and his fingers.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation - Le système de déplacement du pointeur peur être rattaché sur la bague de l'index coté pouce et donc ne plus faire partie du module 2. According to particular embodiments - The pointer displacement system can be attached to the index ring thumb side and therefore no longer be part of the module 2.
- Le module 2 peut être rattaché au poignet et relié au module 1 par un câble électrique. - The module 2 can be attached to the wrist and connected to the module 1 by an electric cable.
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention La figure 1 représente de face les modules séparés du dispositif de l'invention. The attached drawings illustrate the invention. FIG. 1 represents, from the front, the separate modules of the device of the invention.
La figure 2 représente le dispositif de l'invention positionné sur la main vue de haut. La figure 3 représente le dispositif de l'invention coté paume de la main. La figure 4 représente le dispositif de l'invention vue de coté. Figure 2 shows the device of the invention positioned on the hand seen from above. Figure 3 shows the device of the invention on the palm of the hand. FIG. 4 represents the device of the invention seen from the side.
La figure 5 représente une variante du dispositif de l'invention positionné sur la main vue de haut. Figure 5 shows a variant of the device of the invention positioned on the hand seen from above.
En référence à ces figures le dispositif comporte un premier module de plastique souple (1) formant deux bagues ouvertes reliées par leurs parties supérieures. Le module est bloqué sur les phalanges grâce à une patte de blocage (2) s'appuyant sur l'interstice des doigts. Les bagues (3) sont pourvues sous leurs parties inférieures de boutons poussoirs contacteurs (4). Ils sont positionnés de manière à ce que le bouton de pression soit en évidence par rapport au bord de la bague. Les bagues sont pourvues de gouttières (5) permettant l'isolation des fils électriques (6) des contacteurs vers un plot de connexion (7) au système électronique. Quatre autres plots (8) assurent le verrouillage du deuxième module. En référence à ces figures le dispositif comporte un deuxième module de type boîtier plat (9) contenant les composants électroniques destiné à traduire et à émettre les signaux électriques vers l'ordinateur. L'un de ses cotés (10) comporte le dispositif de commande de déplacement du pointeur à boule (11), tactile ou autre système. With reference to these figures the device comprises a first flexible plastic module (1) forming two open rings connected by their upper parts. The module is blocked on the phalanges with a locking tab (2) resting on the interstice of the fingers. The rings (3) are provided under their lower parts with push buttons contactors (4). They are positioned in such a way that the pressure button is visible in relation to the edge of the ring. The rings are provided with gutters (5) for isolating the electrical wires (6) of the contactors to a connection pad (7) to the electronic system. Four other pads (8) lock the second module. With reference to these figures, the device comprises a second flat-box type module (9) containing the electronic components intended to translate and transmit the electrical signals to the computer. One of its sides (10) comprises the movement control device of the ball pointer (11), tactile or other system.
Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 5 , le dispositif de déplacement du pointeur est rattaché sur le coté pouce de la bague de l'index du premier module et le module 2 attaché par un bracelet au poignet, les deux modules étant alors connectés entre eux par un câble électrique (12). In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the pointer displacement device is attached to the thumb side of the index ring of the first module and the module 2 attached by a wrist strap, the two modules being then connected between them by an electric cable (12).
Selon une variante non illustrée le module 2 pourrait offrir une possibilité de rotation de 90 sur son axe pour permettre un usage ambidextre du dispositif. According to a variant not shown, the module 2 could offer a possibility of rotation of 90 on its axis to allow ambidextrous use of the device.
Selon une deuxième variante non illustrée le module 1 est articulé en 3 parties : un socle et deux bagues. According to a second variant not illustrated, the module 1 is articulated in 3 parts: a base and two rings.
A titre de prévention le module 2 peut adopter toutes formes géométriques ou libres y compris les formes à caractère commercial.As a prevention module 2 can adopt any geometric or free forms including forms of a commercial nature.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à tout utilisateur de programmes informatiques. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for any user of computer programs.
