Abstract

La feuille (200) de l'invention est équipée : d'un corps principal de feuille (202) qui est monté de manière amovible sur un panneau tactile (110) d'un terminal portable (100), et dans lequel est formée une partie ouverture exposant des touches d'entrée (140, 150) affichées sur un écran d'opération (112) du panneau tactile (110) ; et des faces découpées (232) maintenues par le corps principal de feuille de manière à être séparées des touches d'entrée, en une position s'opposant aux touches d'entrée exposées par l'ouverture. Des orifices découpés (234) dans lesquels les doigts s'insèrent, sont formés sur les faces découpées, et prennent une forme correspondant aux touches d'entrée. Ainsi, lors d'une manipulation des touches d'entrée sans recours à la vue, il est possible de rechercher et vérifier la touche d'entrée souhaitée en touchant du doigt les orifices découpés de la feuille, sans toucher les touches d'entrée. Puis, une fois la touche d'entrée souhaitée trouvée, il est possible d'insérer le doigt dans l'orifice découpé de la feuille, et de taper directement la touche d'entrée.
