Dieses "flexible Eingabe-System/Mehrfinger-System" ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass auf einer sensiblen Fläche Positionen und Druckauslösungen mehrerer Finger zugleich ausgewertet werden und dadurch einige Erleichterungen und flexible Anpassungen für den Nutzer möglich werden.This "flexible input system / multi-finger system" is characterized by that on a sensitive area Positions and press releases several fingers can be evaluated at the same time and thereby some relief and flexible adjustments for possible for the user become.
Die hier benannte „flexible Tastatur" ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie die Position nicht nur eines Fingers, sondern mehrerer Finger (zugleich) bestimmt und aufgrund der Positionen, Bewegungen und Druckauslösungen von ein, zwei, drei oder bis zu zehn Fingern auf einer (relativ) glatten, sensitiven Fläche entsprechende Steuersignale erzeugt bzw. zugehörige Zeichen bestimmt. Die Handhabung kann speziellen Aufgaben angepasst sein und damit vereinfacht, ergonomisch sinnvoll und „intuitiv treffend" gestaltet sein. Das heisst, die für den Prozessor verfügbare und als Bezug dienende Topografie der Fingerspitzen ist (z.T. quasi selbstständig) allgemeinen bzw. individuellen Hand-Abmessungen und speziellen Aufgabenstellungen anpassbar.The “flexible Keyboard "is thereby characterized that they not only the position of a finger, but several fingers (at the same time) determined and based on the positions, Movements and pressure releases from one, two, three or up to ten fingers on one (relatively) smooth, sensitive surface appropriate control signals generated or associated characters determined. The Handling can be adapted to specific tasks and thus simplified, ergonomically sensible and “intuitive aptly "designed his. That means that for the processor available and as a reference topography of the fingertips (partly quasi self-employed) general or individual hand dimensions and special tasks customizable.
Die sensitive Fläche kann optional auch als Trackpad genutzt werden, also eine Maus ersetzen.The sensitive surface can optionally also be used as a trackpad be used, i.e. replace a mouse.
Die technische Machbarkeit von Positionsbestimmung
(PosB) und Druckauslösungsbestimmung
(DruB) mehrerer Finger besteht beispielsweise durch folgenden Vorschlag:
Eine
in der Fläche
materiell vorhandene (mehr oder weniger feine) Rasterung leitenden
Materials erlaubt die Bestimmung der Fingerpositionen durch Messungen
von Widerstand oder Kapazität.The technical feasibility of position determination (PosB) and pressure release determination (DruB) of several fingers exists, for example, by the following proposal:
A (more or less fine) grid of conductive material in the surface allows the finger positions to be determined by measuring resistance or capacitance.

Sie kann im Sinne einer bestimmten Auflösung der (z.B. 70 × 150) punktähnlichen
Elementen die durch Fingerberührungen
veränderten
Messdaten all dieser Elemente in einer kapazitiven Messung dem Prozessor
verfügbar
machen, um daraus bestenfalls die (von der Druckauslösung zu
unterscheidende) Positionsbestimmung (PosB) und in jedem Falle die Druckauslösungsbestimmung
(DruB) mehrerer Finger zu errechnen.The technical feasibility of position determination (PosB) and pressure release determination (DruB) of several fingers exists, for example, by the following proposal:
The surface is broken down into materially manifest quasi-point conductor elements in the form of a grid. In terms of a certain resolution of the (e.g. 70 × 150) point-like elements, the measurement data of all these elements changed by touching the fingers can be made available to the processor in a capacitive measurement, in order at best to determine the position (PosB) (to be distinguished from the pressure trigger) and in in each case to calculate the pressure trigger determination (DruB) of several fingers.

In the sense of a certain resolution of the (e.g. 150) strip-shaped elements, the measurement data of these elements changed by finger touching can be made available to the processor in a capacitive measurement, in order at best to determine the position (to be distinguished from the pressure triggering) and in any case the position determination Calculate pressure trigger determination (DruB) of several fingers.
Die technische Machbarkeit von Positionsbestimmung
(PosB) und Druckauslösungsbestimmung
(DruB) mehrerer Finger besteht beispielsweise durch folgenden Vorschlag:
In
5 oder 6 Richtungen verlaufende materiell manifeste Leiter (vergleiche
auch bestehende 5-Fadentechnologie
oder die vorgeschlagene 6-Fadentechnologie) liefern durch die Kombination
der einlaufenden Signale eindeutige Positionen bzw. Druckauslösungsorte

Materially manifest conductors running in 5 or 6 directions (compare also existing 5-thread technology or the proposed 6-thread technology) provide clear positions or pressure release locations of the fingers through the combination of the incoming signals.
Die technische Machbarkeit von Positionsbestimmung
(PosB) und Druckauslösungsbestimmung
(DruB) mehrerer Finger besteht beispielsweise durch folgenden Vorschlag:
Die
bestehenden (z.B. mit Widerständen,
Kapazitäten,
Feldeffekten arbeitenden) Methoden der Touch-Screens werden erweitert:
Von den Rändern her
wird die Fläche
nicht nur in x- oder y-Richtung
erschlossen, sondern z.B. in 3 verschiedenen Achsen (also aus 6
verschiedenen „Blickwinkeln") erschlossen. Eine
klare Unterscheidbarkeit für
die Auswertung könnte
durch entsprechende (je nach Richtung) unterschiedlich aufmodulierte
Frequenzen geleistet werden.The technical feasibility of position determination (PosB) and pressure release determination (DruB) of several fingers exists, for example, by the following proposal:
The existing methods of touch screens (working with resistors, capacitors, field effects, for example) are being expanded: From the edges, the area is not only accessible in the x or y direction, but also in 3 different axes (i.e. from 6 different " Viewpoints "). A clear differentiation for the evaluation could be made by corresponding (depending on the direction) differently modulated frequencies.

Die

Von den Rändern her
wird die Fläche
mit den Einflüssen
durch die Finger nicht nur in x- oder y-Richtung messtechnisch erschlossen
, sondern z.B. 10 mal pro Sekunde in z.B. in 6 verschiedenen Achsen,
also aus 12 verschiedenen „Blickwinkeln" erschlossen (vergleichbar
mit einem Uhrenblatt, von dem man 12 Blicke auf den Innenbereich
einnimmt), um Daten über
Fingerpositionen zu erhalten. Das ist ein umlaufender Sensorfeldaufbau,
sozusagen ein nach innen gerichtetes, auf dem Flächenrand „umlaufendes Echolot" (Vergleiche
The existing (e.g. with resistors, capacitors, field effects) methods of touch screens are expanded: From the edges, the area with the influences of the fingers is not only metrologically developed in the x or y direction, but e.g. 10 times per Second in, for example, 6 different axes, that is, from 12 different "viewing angles" (comparable to a watch sheet, from which one takes 12 views of the interior) in order to obtain data about finger positions. This is a circumferential sensor field structure, an interior, so to speak directional sounder on the surface edge (compare
(Die Unterscheidung von Positionsbestimmung (PosB) und Druckauslösungsbestimmung (DruB) ist für einige Anwendungen (wie beim üblichen 10-Finger-Schreiben auf der QWERT-Tastatur) nötig. Diese Unterscheidung kann im Idealfall hochempfindlicher Feldeffektmessungen durch eine einzige Methode geleistet werden, aber sie erfordert ggf. doch den gleichzeitigen Einsatz zweier Messmethoden in der sensiblen Fläche. – Für zwei (oder drei) zugleich unterscheidbare Finger ist der Aufwand noch überschaubar, für alle 10 Finger muss die Technik entsprechend aufwendiger sein.) (The distinction between position determination (PosB) and pressure release determination (DruB) is necessary for some applications (such as the usual 10-finger typing on the QWERT keyboard). Ideally, this distinction can be made by a single, highly sensitive field effect measurements method, but it may require the simultaneous use of two measurement methods in the sensitive area. - The effort is still manageable for two (or three) fingers that can be distinguished at the same time, the technique must be correspondingly more complex for all 10 fingers.)
Die technische Machbarkeit von Positionsbestimmung
(PosB) und Druckauslösungsbestimmung
(DruB) mehrerer Finger besteht beispielsweise durch folgenden Vorschlag:
Eine
sensitive Fläche
(„Touch-Field") ist wie folgt aufgebaut:
Die an der oberen Seite relativ glatte Fläche besteht aus einem elastischen
und transparenten (oder transluzenten) Material und besitzt eine
bestimmte Geometrie des Querschnitts, so dass sie durch die Finger
mit einer bestimmten Kraft einzudrücken ist. Diese bestimmte Widerstandskraft
ist durch Kniehebel-Effekte einer bestimmten Geometrie (vergleiche
auch
A sensitive surface ("touch field") is constructed as follows: The relatively smooth surface on the upper side consists of an elastic and transparent (or translucent) material and has a certain geometry of the cross section, so that it can be passed through the fingers with a certain force is to be pressed in. This certain resistance force is due to toggle lever effects of a certain geometry (compare also
Diese besagte sensitive Fläche ist
insbesondere durch Strangpressverfahren herstellbar (z.B. würde eine
Fläche
von etwa 100 mm mal 250 mm durch ein Strangpresswerkzeug von 100
mm Breite zu erzeugen sein). Danach kann man (a) die in sich komplex
aufgebaute Fläche
so belassen, (b) dieses Produkt von der Unterseite her so weit aufschneiden, dass
die oben durchlaufende Fläche
erhalten bleibt oder (c) in diesem Produkt (z.B. durch Heissprofil-Schneiden
oder LASER-Schneiden) von der Unterseite her soweit ein bestimmtes
Profil ausschneiden (die oben durchlaufende Fläche bleibt erhalten), dass
die Kniehebel-Stützchen
in Querrichtung voneinander getrennt sind, sich also im Eindrückverhalten
kaum noch gegenseitig beeinflussen (vergleiche

Produkte können
z.B. folgende sein:
Dicke des stranggepressten Materials 3,5
mm
Hub der Kniehebel-Stützchen
1,5 mm

Mit diesem Repertoire sind zum Beispiel folgende Erleichterungen und Anwendungen möglich:
- a) Zwei Finger zugleich (z.B. länger als 0,6 Sekunden) aufgesetzt und verschoben steuern die Scroll-Funktion der Screen-Darstellung. Durch diese streifende Bewegung wird quasi die Darstellung im direkten Griff beider Finger verschoben.
- b) Zwei Finger zugleich aufdrücken (z.B. länger als 0,3 Sekunden und mit einem Mindestabstand von 6 mm) und gegeneinander bewegen steuert eine Zoomfunktion/Massstabsveränderung der Darstellung.
- c) Drei Finger zugleich aufdrücken (z.B. länger als 0,3 Sekunden, bis zu 0,6 Sekunden) schaltet zum Beispiel die nächste Menü-Ebene ein.
- a) Two fingers at the same time (e.g. longer than 0.6 seconds) put on and shifted control the scroll function of the screen display. Through this grazing movement, the representation is almost shifted in the direct grip of both fingers.
- b) Press on two fingers at the same time (e.g. longer than 0.3 seconds and with a minimum distance of 6 mm) and move against each other controls a zoom function / change in scale of the display.
- c) Press three fingers at the same time (e.g. longer than 0.3 seconds, up to 0.6 seconds) switches on the next menu level, for example.
Anwendungen können also z.B. sein:
- – Tastaturen für Handies, Handheld-Computer oder andere Geräte mit nur relativ kleinen Displays bzw. Eingabefeldern (vom Nutzer selbst anzupassen, einzustellen und zu modifizieren) (Handies können dann statt Display + Tastenfeld einfach einen flexiblen Screen haben, der unterschiedliche Funktionen erlaubt, insbesondere den Mausklick-ähnlichen schnellen Zugriff auf die dargestellten Objekte. Durch die Scroll- und Zoom-Funktionen kann auch ein kleiner Screen gewisse Datenmengen schnell greifbar machen.)
- – Eingabegeräte für Automaten und Kunden-Informations- und Führungssysteme
- – Screens in Fahrzeugen (z.B. mit Kartendarstellungen), wo die Screenfläche zugleich als (assoziative, zeichenhaft eindeutige) Eingabefläche genutzt werden kann.
- – CAD-Arbeitsplätze
- - Keyboards for cell phones, handheld computers or other devices with only relatively small displays or input fields (to be adapted, set and modified by the user) (cell phones can then simply have a flexible screen instead of display + keypad, which allows different functions, in particular the mouse click-like quick access to the displayed objects. The scroll and zoom functions mean that even a small screen can make certain amounts of data quickly accessible.)
- - Input devices for machines and customer information and guidance systems
- - Screens in vehicles (eg with map displays), where the screen area can also be used as an (associative, symbolically clear) input area.
- - CAD workstations
Dieses System erleichtert Einhandbedienungen.This system facilitates one-handed operation.
Weitere Anwendungen dieses „Mehrfinger-Repertoires" ergeben sich für den Einsatz im Sinne der flexiblen dynamisch anpassbaren Computer-Tastatur (siehe Patent-Anmeldung Ralf Trachte vom 21.12.2001. Zum Beispiel eine Justierung der individuellen „Hand-Topographie" kann dafür u.a. durch einmaliges Aufdrücken aller 10 Finger erfolgen). Dieses Produkt liefert zunächst Druckauslösungsbestimmungen (DruB) (auch mehrerer Finger). Eine für die verfeinerte Auswertung und Korrektur eventuell notwendige Positionsbestimmung (PosB) der 10 Finger kann ausgehend von der anfänglich justierten individuellen „Hand-Topographie" vom Prozessor mit protokolliert werden (Vergleiche auch Punkte 4. und 5. der Anmeldung vom 21.12.2002, Korrekturen und dynamische Anpassung).Further applications of this "multi-finger repertoire" arise for use in terms of the flexible, dynamically adaptable computer keyboard (see Patent application Ralf Trachten dated December 21, 2001. For example one Adjustment of the individual "hand topography" can be done by one press every 10 fingers). This product initially provides print trigger regulations (DruB) (also multiple fingers). One for the more refined evaluation and correction of any necessary position determination (PosB) of the Based on the initially adjusted individual "hand topography", the processor can use 10 fingers be logged (see also points 4 and 5 of the registration from December 21, 2002, corrections and dynamic adjustment).
