Description

Finger keyboard

Technical field

The utility model relates to a kind of input media, and alternative keyboard is used for computing machine, electronic notebook, mobile phone and other signal that has the device of processor and imports.

Background technology

Existing keyboard type signal input apparatus, 2 classes are arranged usually, one class is to be used for PC, the big keyboard of big product such as notebook computer, difference according to product, dispose 86 keys respectively, 104 keys even more key position, this class keyboard volume is bigger, carry inconvenience, need take the larger area region when using simultaneously, thereby be not suitable for more small-sized portable product and make input media, use and be suitable for equipment such as desktop computer, when being used for notebook computer, usually it is carried out the design of miniaturization and thin type after, constitute the one design with the fuselage of notebook computer, but still can occupy relatively large space, make notebook computer be difficult to reduce thickness; Another kind of is keypad at random, generally include 10 numerical keys and several Control key, can be used for products such as electronic notebook, mobile phone and make input equipment, area is less, thereby can embed in the panel of hand-held product, yet owing to have only ten several key positions, need repeatedly repeat key during input character, use very inconvenient.

Summary of the invention

The utility model provides a kind of keyboard type input media promptly at the deficiency of existing keyboard, makes it both to be easy to carry about with one, and is easy to use again.

For achieving the above object, the technical solution adopted in the utility model is: a kind of finger keyboard, include 10 fingerstall and 2 annular covers, described each fingerstall is provided with 3 sensors of vertical arrangement, be provided with treatment circuit and built-up circuit in the described annular cover, the transducing signal that each fingerstall produces is electrically connected by the interior treatment circuit of the wired mode and the annular cover of corresponding hand.

In the technique scheme, described " fingerstall " is used for the action of pressing of finger is converted into trigger pip, when the finger diverse location contacts with the surface that certain degree of hardness is arranged, the sensor of relevant position is triggered and sends signal, usually, the length of fingerstall is advisable to be no more than first knuckle, to guarantee the dirigibility of finger motion.Described " annular cover " can be muffetee, it also can be palm cover, muffetee can be sheathed on the wrist, does not influence the motion of hand, uses more flexible, palm cover then can be placed in four finger back covers on the palm, its advantage is that roller or other locating device can be set thereon, one-object-many-purposes, and each annular cover is connected by electric wire with these 5 fingerstall on hand, also can guide line be set with electric wire, stressed and cause problem such as come off to avoid electric wire.Described built-up circuit can be realized communicating by letter by wired or wireless mode with the device that adopts this input equipment, usually, for well, but when being used for notebook computer or desktop computer, also can adopt wired mode to connect in wireless (as infrared, Bluetooth technology etc.) mode.

In the technique scheme, 3 sensors in described each fingerstall lay respectively in the fingerstall finger abdomen, finger tip corresponding to finger, refer to carry on the back the position, trigger 3 sensors respectively by the pressing down of finger, click and anteflexion motion.

Wherein, described sensor can be pressure transducer, when sensor contacts with the surface that certain degree of hardness is arranged, and output signal, for example, the push type microswitch promptly can be used as only has the pressure transducer of 2 effective statuses of switching to use.

Perhaps, described sensor also can be induction pick-up.

Further technical scheme, can also include a pair of key cover, described key cover is made of the cavity body structure with the finger form fit, because must be when the sensor that refers to back of the body position uses at ordinary times with finger to front curve, not too convenient, bending motion can take the regular hour before and after it, and when using key cover, the finger that wears finger keyboard is stretched in the key cover, can with finger press down, click and on lift three actions and trigger three sensors, thereby make things convenient for finger motion, improve input speed.

In the technique scheme, can in described annular cover, be provided with coiling apparatus, being connected electric wire and can furling on the coiling apparatus in the annular cover of described fingerstall and annular inner room, during use, loosen coiling apparatus, fingerstall is pulled out, can be worn on the finger, during end, can utilize elastic mechanism that the line of fingerstall and annular inner room is withdrawn on the coiling apparatus, so that collection.

Described fingerstall and annular inner room also are provided with guide line, and described coiling apparatus is connected with guide line, by the folding and unfolding of guide line control fingerstall, electric wire then is synchronized with the movement with guide line, like this, main stressedly born by guide line avoids stressed excessive the causing of electric wire to come off or damage.

In the technique scheme,, can adopt multiple mode by communicating by letter between described built-up circuit realization and application device of the present utility model.For example, described built-up circuit can be infrared signal generation circuit, at this moment, can directly adopt the infrared interface on the device, utilize the agreement of its approval to realize connecting, for example, on notebook computer, handset device, ready-made infrared interface is arranged,, can utilize this interface to realize input as long as built-up circuit can meet its communication protocol; Described built-up circuit also can be radio signal generation circuit, for example, utilizes the circuit of Bluetooth technology, realizes transmission by Bluetooth technology; Described built-up circuit also can be a wired connection, as, by the connection of USB mouth, when being used for notebook computer etc. and can placing the device that uses stable back, the benefit that the wired connection mode has simply, is easy to realize; Even described built-up circuit also can be the breakout box of a special use.

Because the technique scheme utilization, the utility model compared with prior art has following advantage:

1. because the utility model utilizes fingerstall and annular cover to be directly connected on hand input media, realize importing by contacting between hand and other body surface, thereby volume is little, light, use is easy to carry about with one;

2. have totally 30 sensors on 10 fingers of the utility model, be equivalent to have 30 independently key positions, by the setting of Macintosh and shift, can realize more than 100 kind of key bit pattern easily, thereby replace big keyboard to import;

3. fingerstall of the present utility model and annular inner room are isolating construction, utilize connecting line (or adding guide line) to fuse, thereby when using, have only first knuckle and wrist that covering is arranged, do not influence the flexion and extension of hand, particularly in summer, can be not overheated because of whole hand covering is caused;

4. the line of fingerstall and annular inner room can be on the coiling apparatus in the annular cover, thereby takies when not using and occupy a narrow space, and not fragile.
