Definitions
- the invention relates to a data input device, consisting of at least one holding and / or control handle that can be gripped with one hand, at least one operating element that generates a control signal by actuation and a connecting element for transmitting the control signal to a computer or other signal-controlled devices.
- a microprocessor-controlled device such as a computer or a game console
- a keyboard in combination with a mouse or a trackball or to use a control handle (joystick) or a gamepad.
- control handle joystick
- gamepad a gamepad
- a joystick to control computer applications
- the joystick itself in addition to its movably mounted control handle, also having control elements in the form of push buttons and / or rocker buttons which are provided for triggering certain signals from a computer application.
- a data input device has only a defined number of push buttons and / or rocker buttons, which are arranged either in the head area of the joystick or in the foot area.
- Key elements such as are known from a conventional input device of a computer (keyboard), for example provided with numbers, letters and / or special characters, are not provided.
- mouse-like data input devices have two, three or four operating elements which are provided very specifically for operating computer applications.
- a mouse-like data input device which, in addition to the previously known control elements, also has key elements.
- These key elements correspond to a telephone keypad, since using this data input device it is possible to make calls via a special computer application.
- the key elements span an arrangement level, the position or elongation of which corresponds to that of a conventional keyboard (keyboard) for a computer.
- keyboards have not differed fundamentally from their mechanical model.
- the key elements are arranged in an inclined plane and partly grouped according to their purpose.
- the range of characters on a keyboard primarily encompasses the alphabet and mostly the numerals, but secondly there are a large number of special characters and key elements with special functions that regularly enable even introduced users to orient themselves in their movement have to. In many cases, she will only know a fraction of these functions and use them on a daily basis, so that as a consequence she intuitively hides the key elements that are unnecessary for her, but this interrupts her concentration.
- the workload when typing is also unevenly distributed: the eight fingers stand in front of a multitude of key elements, characters and functions - the thumb, which is actually the most flexible finger of the hand, lies idle and has no other task than pressing the space bar.
- Pure letter keys can be switched between lower and upper case letters - that goes without saying. Many key elements are overcrowded and assigned more than two characters or functions, there is an excess of several functions because they can be found twice on different key elements. - Special characters are arranged in a standardized but not very systematic way. They are therefore difficult to remember for frequent writers. Another problem is the complexity of how different computer applications and systems have to be operated and controlled via a keyboard. Special key elements should enable use (Shift, Alt, Ctrl), but there is also a sometimes unnecessary and antiquated variety of such key elements (AltGr, PrtScr, ScrollLock, NumLock, SysRq, Break), which overwhelm the user and disturb more, arranged for them on a conventional keyboard. The internet symbol @ can be brought up via the shift key 'AltGr'. These are all circumstances that needlessly draw attention, confuse due to a lack of transparency and ignore the need for easy handling.
- the mouse is used as a pointing device to control graphically understandable graphic elements, such as an arrow symbol, and thereby manipulate windows or other objects displayed on a screen.
- graphically understandable graphic elements such as an arrow symbol
- this type of data entry device has two to three key elements to initiate or complete actions.
- Mouse and joystick are obviously and ergonomic designs on the today
- keyboard and mouse as a data input device in today's standard. Depending on the type of task, you are forced to switch frequently between the two input units. This requires a moment of orientation of the hand position each time, which often means that
- a joystick which is articulated on a foot element. At its free ends pointing away from the foot element, the joystick has control elements which generate a defined signal which is transmitted to a computer via a connection element.
- the controls extend to both sides of the joystick and are over one
- the connecting element is arranged at a distance from the holding and / or control handle, the connecting element being firmly connected to the joystick.
- An alphanumeric keyboard or similar key elements are not provided.
- a game console is known from US Pat. No. 5,984,548, which has joystick-like elements, each of which can be operated with one hand (with the right and the left hand).
- joystick-like elements each of which can be operated with one hand (with the right and the left hand).
- different operating elements are provided on the foot element, which perform special functions dependent on the application programs.
- the data input device shown here is not suitable for entering alphanumeric characters or the like.
- US Pat. No. 5,786,807 provides for a data input device with additional operating elements to be arranged next to the foot element.
- the data input device shown here is not suitable for entering alphanumeric characters or the like.
- the controls are arranged on one level, comparable to a conventional keyboard.
- a data input device is known from WO 91/08113, which is divided into two essential parts, one part being operable with the left hand and the other part with the right hand.
- the individual parts are not arranged in one plane, but on the side surfaces of a device that is trapezoidal in cross section. Key elements in the form of alphanumeric characters are also provided.
- a major disadvantage of the data input device listed here is that the distance between the two keyboard parts is fixed, so that the natural arrangement of the arms on the body is only taken into account to a minor extent. It also proves to be a disadvantage that the natural arrangement of the fingers is not taken into account. Because of this, it is necessary to be able to operate all key elements, on the one hand to move the upper body in the direction of the keyboard and on the other hand the hand itself must also be moved away from the body in order at least to be able to operate the key elements remote from the body. In addition, to touch the key element that is intended for the index finger, ) M r h- 1
- the keyboard is designed in such a way that normal visual writing is possible in addition to blind typing. To do this, the holding and / or control handle is tilted from the vertical neutral position into the horizontal position.
- Special characters are not created by adding key elements to the letter keys, but by assigning the main keys to several imaginary levels. These assignments are activated with just a few newly added control keys in order to produce all standardized and many additional special characters, without overwhelming the user with a large number of key elements, but also without irritating them with additional complexity.
- the arrangement of the special characters is simpler and the number of key elements of a standard keyboard is reduced from 102 or 105 key elements to 54 or 66 key elements.
- the user does not even have to learn new mechanisms (keeping the ten-finger system).
- the key elements of the alphabet are arranged as usual and comply with international standards. Special characters, however, are rearranged on the keyboard surface. The systematic grouping and placement based on their shape makes it much easier to find these characters or to remember them.
- the assignment of the key elements as described, for example, in patent specification DE 37 00 913 AI, can be displayed in a screen window, so that the user can orientate himself about the position of the characters and functions without looking away from the screen.
- the data input device is intended for use when working with computers or game consoles. Due to the high flexibility of the underlying concept, it can also be used to control vehicles, airplanes, ships, production systems, medical devices, musical instruments, robots, control systems and control centers. For this purpose, the functions and labeling of the key elements and control handles can differ from the case discussed here and be adapted to the special purpose.
- the arrangement level in which the key elements are arranged can be arranged as desired on the holding and / or control handle.
- a positioning device is provided which, on the one hand, enables an articulated arrangement of the arrangement plane, so that the angle between the horizontal and that which is determined by the arrangement of the key elements can be adapted as required.
- an alternative embodiment of the positioning device offers the possibility of also adapting the position of the arrangement level in relation to the holding and / or control handle to the requirements.
- Devices that can be moved on bars or rails, as well as inflatable devices, enable an exact positioning according to the needs.
- the arrangement level for the key elements is advantageously spherical and designed in such a way that the keyboard elements intended for the shorter fingers are arranged closer to the hand and those for the middle finger correspondingly further.
- Such specific data input devices can also be used, for example, at ATMs, bus and train stops for ticket issuing, taxis or in the catering trade.
- a support device for placing and holding the hand, wrist or forearm is provided.
- An identification unit can be arranged in this support device, which automatically recognizes the user, either from his skin structure or from an identity label.

- FIG. 10 shows a perspective view of the left thumb bridge of a data input device according to the invention with shift keys and the corresponding schematic illustration of the assignment;
- This data input device D comprises a holding and / or control handle 1 and one or more key elements provided with numbers, letters or special characters are positioned in an arrangement plane A, the reference to the longitudinal extension 1 'of the control handle having an angle W greater than 0' and less than Occupies 90 °.
- the arrangement level A is directly connected to the holding and / or control handle.
- the support device for the hand is not shown in the drawing.
- the data input device is operated in such a way that the fingers operate the keys 2, which are positioned in the arrangement level A.
- the thumb operates the control buttons 4 arranged directly on the holding and / or control handle 1.
- the data input device shown in Fig. 2 shows a control handle 1, which is in the rest position and is held by one hand.
- the thumb actuates the control buttons 4b of the thumb bridge 2b and the remaining fingers operate the main buttons 4a of the main keypad 2a.
- a data input device comprises a holding and / or control handle 1 (joystick), which consists of a handle part and a base and is expanded by two button parts.
- the data input device D has two units which the user handles with both hands.
- the units are placed on a work table 4c (FIGS. 3 and 4) or attached to the ends of chair armrests 4d (FIG. 2) or on the edge of a work table 4c.
- the joint connection 4a is usually realized as a ball joint or as a cardan joint.
- the design as a ball joint requires a rod-like extension made of metal or plastic on the underside of the handle part 2a, which ends in a ball-like body 2e and on the opposite side fits into a recess in the base 4, where the ball-like body is thus from a body with a spherical recess is recorded, recorded and guided that this enables a free deflection by any spatial angle within the limits of the construction (FIG. 7).
- the base or foot 4 (FIG. 4) has the task of holding the control handle 2 upright on the base 4c, d and serves as a counter bearing to the handle part 2a for the articulated connection 4a. It can be realized as a plate-shaped body or as a block and can have struts 4b as a base. It has a suction cup or rubber feet on its underside for non-slip installation on the work table 4c.
- the articulated connection 4a On the upper side, in accordance with the form of realization of the articulated connection 4a, it has a recess into which the spherical body 2e sitting on the rod-like extension of the handle part 2a fits.
- the data input devices of the joystick keyboard are set up between the user and the screen on the work surface 4c, with a preferred lateral distance of 40-60 cm between the units.
- Another installation option is the attachment of the data input device to the armrests 4d (FIG. 3) of a chair, O
- buttons 3b are usually simply assigned and mainly act as toggle buttons with the assignment 5u (FIG. 8).
- the fingers are held above the main keys 3c in a position which corresponds to the starting position when writing in the ten-finger system. Forefinger to little finger of the left hand lightly touch the keys A, S, D, F; (framed in Fig. 8, 5a) index finger to little finger of the right hand lightly touch the keys J, K, L, o (for keyboards in German-speaking countries).
- These four keys each mark the starting position of the mentioned fingers of the respective hand, from which each finger operates the keys above and below in its column of keys.
- These four inner key columns are adjoined on the left and right by two outer key columns, so that a main keypad 2c operated by one hand usually contains six key columns.
- the middle row of keys mentioned in the starting position and the key rows of these four inner column columns that follow at the top and bottom form a block of 4x3 keys.
- This 4x3 block is of particular importance for the cursor functions 5e.
- the three column columns of index, middle and ring fingers also play a special role: the middle row of keys mentioned in the starting position and the key rows of the three column columns of index, middle and ring fingers next to the top and bottom form a block of 3x3 keys.
- This 3x3 block is of particular importance for the number and special character assignment 5b, c, d ('Num' and 'Char').
- the main keys 3c are in their basic assignment 5a with the letters and some frequent and used punctuation marks (such as periods and commas). There are also frequent keys for entering text (such as Enter, Escape, Tab, Backspace), which ensures compatibility with conventional keyboards.
