Definitions

  • SMS Short Message Service
  • WAP WAP mobile telephones
  • Palmtop 'computers are digital mobile devices that are roughly the same size as a mobile phone device, but are not set up for making calls, but for example for storing and displaying diary data, telephone lists, etc.
  • An input keyboard is often not provided with these devices; instead For example, a palmtop computer is used for handling processes in which larger amounts of information have to be shown on a display or entered into the device at the same time, such as the receipt and sending of e-mail messages therefore rather unsuitable.
  • a further emerging category of mobile digital devices are the so-called “electronic books”.
  • Such an “electronic book” is known for example from PCT / EP98 / 06008.
  • This type of device typically has at least one relatively large-area display device by means of which even large amounts of text can be read comfortably.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a universal digital mobile device that can be executed, for example, in a typical book size and is suitable for carrying out a wide variety of tasks, in order in this way to enable the functionality of a large number of devices such as mobile phones, digital books, PalmPilot, notebooks and / or the Internet -To unite tray in order to avoid carrying around a multitude of devices and to be able to solve corresponding tasks as ergonomically and user-friendly as possible.
  • the object of the invention is furthermore to simplify the rich application possibilities resulting from the combination of a large number of device functions by a technical operating option to such an extent that the user, as a lay user, can operate the device easily and clearly.

  • Each of the four corners is therefore equipped with a sensor which makes it possible to determine in an appropriate manner whether or not the ball is in the corner in question. This can be done optically, for example, by means of a light barrier. It is also possible to manufacture the trackball from an electrically conductive material, for example from metal, and to detect the location at the corners by means of electrical contacts.

  • An essential aspect in the selection of materials for the gripping area and the ceiling area is the durability and resistance to wear. For example, it may be desirable in terms of design to cover the surface of the ceiling part with natural leather. Executing the surface in the gripping area with natural leather would have the disadvantage that the Surface would take on a worn and worn appearance relatively quickly.
  • the distinction between gripping area and ceiling area enables a different choice of material, so that, for example, the gripping area can be designed as an aging-resistant and abrasion-resistant metal part if the ceiling part is made of natural leather. A particularly durable gripping area in this way protects the ceiling area from premature wear.
  • Another important aspect is the compressibility of the material used. If the ceiling area of the haptic is designed to be compressible due to the use of polyurethane foam, for example, compressibility which is unsuitable due to the presence of push buttons in the gripping area can be avoided by using a less or practically incompressible material.
  • the different mechanical bendability of a material can be a relevant factor. If, for example, the digital hand part uses a bendable display display, for example based on polymer, it may be desirable to design the housing as a whole to be bendable. In order to control and limit the bendability of the entire housing, for example in order to define a predetermined bending line, it can be advantageous to implement the gripping area and the ceiling area with materials of different bendability (rigidity). One possibility would be, for example, to produce the ceiling area from a relatively easily bendable material of lower rigidity, whereas the gripping area is made from a less bendable material of greater rigidity.
  • Another important aspect in the design of the housing of the digital handpiece according to the invention consists in determining whether the gripping area and / or the ceiling area are designed as separate interchangeable parts are designed.
  • an interchangeable ceiling area can be advantageous if, for example for fashion reasons, the user is to be able to change the surface design. Even the wear and tear of the ceiling area made of more sensitive materials, despite the aforementioned protection by the gripping area, can justify a replaceable solution.
