Definitions

  • each radial zone other five sensors are provided, distributed at the boundary, as better described hereinafter, and defined by the reference numbers 4, ,5, 6, 7 and 8, which belong to a second group of sensors.
  • a generic "activation member” is referred to, as well as “sensore”, being it clear that with the first term the device indicated as 10 is defined, which is a movable element associated to a key or push button, and with the second term an element indicated as 1 up to 8 is defined, which are fixed elements, adapted to measure the presence or the contact of the activation member.
  • the logic of drive cannot select instantly a character, but it has to wait a confirmation from the user; such a confirmation can be given, for example, with a short pressure on the selection key or, in an easier way, on a short stop of the selection key at the chosen sensor.
