Abstract

Control device for personal computers allows full control over the personal computer. The device fuses all functions and keys of the input devices for the personal computers - keyboard and mouse. The device consists of two parts, ergonomically shaped holders for the left and right palm, which have keys, 13 for the left palm and 14 for the right palm. Both parts have the capability to detect its movement in space. Using the various functions of keys the user activates all capabilities of the keyboard and mouse.

Description

Control device for personal computers
Field of technique related to the invention:
The invention belongs to the field of informatics, hardware; it is the device, which allows the control of the personal computer.
Technical problem:
The invention solves the problem of controlling the personal computer using the mouse and keyboard by combining these two devices into one; the problem of large number of keys needed to control the computer by reducing their number from 110 (107 on the keyboard and 3 on the mouse) to 27; the problem of palm inflammation because it requires no hand or palm movement and the movement of the fingers is 20mm at most; the problem of speed typing and the problem of blind typing.
Current state of teennlqiue:
Input devices for personal computers are standard keyboards and mice; their ergonomic models, which reduce the force necessary for typing and clicking, their wireless models; "glide point" (the touch sensitive board with two control keys); "nipple" (key that can be bended in two dimensions with two control keys) and the "track ball" (big marble which can be rotated with the thumb and two control keys). None of these devices is capable to control the personal computer alone, they have to be combined with each other and the user must switch hands between them constantly.
The basics of the invention:
The invention fuses both types of input devices (keyboard and mouse), thus enabling full control over the personal computer. It consists of control device for left and right palm (picture 1 and picture 2). Each device is the size of the average human palm. On the bottom of the left device is the device for the detection of the movement of the left device in space. Upper part of the device is shaped for the half closed left hand. On the upper part of the left device are 13 keys; 6 for thumb,3 for index finger, 2 for middle finger and one for ring finger and small finger. The right device is designed for the right hand. It has one additional thumb key (7th).The invention is ergonomically more advanced because finger movement is reduced to 20mm at the most. Short description of the drawings:

Fig.6: code table for the keys 17 to 27
Fig.7: schematics of the internal arrangement of the components of the devices for the left and right palm
Detailed description of the device:
The pictures show control device for computers, for the left and right palm. The device for the left palm has, on the bottom, the device for the detection of the movement of the left device in space (C). Its purpose is to serve as a scroll wheel or as a z-axis of the pointer in the 3D operating systems. On its upper half are the keys number 1,2,3,11,4,13,18-5,20,17,24,15 and 26 .They replace the keyboard keys as follows:

The device for the left palm has the microprocessor (A), which is connected with 13 keys, with the device for the detection of the movement of the left device in space (C) and with the connection to computer (E). The device for the right palm has, on the bottom, the device for the detection of the movement of the right device in space (D). Its purpose is to serve as a x and y-axis for the pointer in operating systems and programs. On its upper half are the keys number 16,21,6,25,22,23,7,19,14,8,12,9,10 and 27 (picture 2). They replace the keyboard and mouse keys as follows:

The device for the right palm has the microprocessor (B), which is connected with 14 keys, with the device for the detection of the movement of the right device in space (D) and with the connection to computer (F).
The modes of the operation of the device are determined with taming on or off control keys: F-LOCK (key 20), NUM-LOCK (key 17), CAPS-LOCK (key 16), SJM1
LOCK (key 21), SIM 2 LOCK (key 22) and SIM 3 LOCK (key 23). In front of each of these keys is small LED light, which can be turned on or off. Its purpose is to indicate if a key is turned on or off.
