Description

The utility model relates to input devices and is intended, inter alia, for entering (entering) data or signals into a computer or other electronic device, playing games on a computer, controlling various mechanisms directly and at a distance, for example, construction, road, military equipment, unmanned aircraft (drones, quadrocopters).

Description of the prior art

Known control keyboard containing keys, actuated by the fingers of the operator. The purpose of the invention is to allow the keys to be actuated without any movement of the operator’s hand. For this purpose, means are provided for immobilizing the keyboard body relative to the palm and back of the hand, allowing the fingers to move freely. Each key is positioned to be operated with one finger. According to one embodiment, various keys are activated by the first, second and third phalanges of the same finger (WO 8201345, 04/29/1982, IPC B41J 3/26; B41J 5/10; B41J 7/00; G05G 1/01; G06F 3 / 02; G06F 3/023; H01H 13/12; H01H 13/14; H01H 13/807).

The disadvantages of this device are.

1. Due to the fact that the hand is fixed in the keyboard, there is no way to quickly remove it from the keyboard to perform other actions by the hand that are not related to data entry.

2. When the control keyboard body is immobilized on the hand, the hand is squeezed, which leads to impaired blood circulation and fatigue.

3. Fingers interact with a small number of keys, which reduces the functionality of the device.

4. Since the index, middle, ring and little fingers are bent, tension occurs in the hand, which leads to fatigue and increases the likelihood of false positives when the fingers are relaxed.

As a prototype, a device for inputting information, including five input nodes containing sensors, was selected. The number of input nodes corresponds to the number of fingers. Each input node for the fingers of the index, middle, nameless and little fingers contains four sensors mounted on its inner surface. The device for inputting information includes a palm rest, in which the shape of the external convex surface is close to the shape of the surface of the impression made from the surface of the palm of a person’s hand in a relaxed state of the hand. Input nodes serve for placing fingers in a relaxed bent position.

At the same time, the impact on the sensors of each input node for the fingers of the index, middle, nameless and little fingers is carried out:

the back of the nail (distal) phalanx of the finger when the finger moves to extend,

the palmar side of the nail (distal) phalanx of the finger when the finger moves to bend,

the top of the finger when moving the finger down with the horizontal arrangement of the device for entering information,

the back side of the middle phalanx or the back side of the main (proximal) phalanx when the finger moves upward in a bent state with a horizontal arrangement of the device for entering information.

In the input node for the thumb, the sensors are located on its two lateral, end, lower and upper inner surfaces, while

the sensors mounted on the lateral internal surfaces of the specified input node are in contact with the back and palm sides of the distal (nail) phalanx and with the back of the proximal (main) phalanx of the thumb, while these sensors are affected by the movement of the thumb for extension and flexion and when the thumb moves in a bent state in the direction from the palm to the side;

a sensor mounted on the end inner surface of the specified input node is in contact with the top of the thumb, while the impact on the specified sensor is carried out by pulling the thumb,

the sensors installed on the lower and upper inner surfaces of the specified input node are in contact with the side surfaces of the thumb, while the impact on these sensors is carried out when the thumb moves up and down with the horizontal location of the device for inputting information.

The disadvantage of this device is the insufficiently high efficiency of the device, which is due to the fact that in the input nodes for the fingers of the index, middle, ring and little fingers placed an insufficient number of sensors.

The problem to which the proposed utility model is directed is to create a device design for inputting information that would eliminate the above disadvantages.

The technical problem solved by the creation of the claimed utility model consists in creating a more efficient device for inputting information that has greater functional and operational capabilities by placing more index sensors, middle, ring and little fingers in the input nodes for fingers.

The technical result achieved by the implementation of the presented utility model consists in increasing the efficiency of the device, increasing its operational and functional capabilities by placing in the input nodes for fingers index, middle, ring and little fingers more sensors.

The technical result is achieved in a device for inputting information, including five input nodes containing sensors. The number of input nodes corresponds to the number of fingers. The device for inputting information includes a palm rest, in which the shape of the external convex surface is close to the shape of the surface of the impression made from the surface of the palm of a person’s hand in a relaxed state of the hand. In the input node for the thumb, the sensors are located on its two lateral, end, lower and upper inner surfaces, while

the sensors mounted on the lateral internal surfaces of the specified input node are in contact with the back and palm sides of the distal (nail) phalanx and with the back of the proximal (main) phalanx of the thumb, while these sensors are affected by the movement of the thumb for extension and flexion and when the thumb moves in a bent state in the direction from the palm to the side;

a sensor mounted on the end inner surface of the specified input node is in contact with the top of the thumb, while the impact on the specified sensor is carried out by pulling the thumb;

the sensors installed on the lower and upper inner surfaces of the specified input node are in contact with the side surfaces of the thumb, while the impact on these sensors is carried out when the thumb moves up and down with the horizontal location of the device for inputting information. Each input node for the fingers of the index, middle, ring and little fingers contains five sensors mounted on its inner surface, while two sensors are located on the lower inner surface of each specified input node.

The impact on the sensors of each input node for the fingers of the index, middle, nameless and little fingers is carried out:

each input node 1-5 moves from the palm rest 7 and back and is fixed depending on the length of the finger;

the palm rest 7 also moves from the input nodes 1-5 and vice versa, as well as in height, depending on the size of the palm.

For finer adjustment and increase and decrease of the amplitude of finger movement, it is possible to replace the keys on the sensors 6, namely, replace low keys with high keys and vice versa, which will allow you to more accurately adjust the device to the user's brush.

The described adjustment allows you to adapt the device for entering information under the hand of a user of any size.

The functional and operational capabilities of the presented device are increased due to the location of the input nodes 1, 2, 3, 4 for the fingers of the index, middle, ring and little fingers more sensors 6. The prototype has one sensor on the lower inner surface of each specified input node. In the claimed utility model, two sensors 6 are located on the lower inner surface 13 of each indicated input node 1, 2, 3, 4 6. Four sensors are located in each specified input node of the prototype. In the presented device, at each indicated input node 1, 2. 3, 4, five sensors are installed 6. Thus, the claimed device contains four sensors more than the prototype. Therefore, the presented utility model in comparison with the prototype is more efficient and has great functional and operational capabilities.
