Abstract

The 'HandyKey' computer keyboard proposed increased working speed by making it possible to carry out a greater number of typing strokes per minute by eliminating the need for arm repositioning, finger repositioning and changes of position between key operation and mouse operation. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the mouse functions are integrated in two separate control units (for the left and the right hand, respectively), and the five (or more) keys on each unit have multiple control functions (e.g. finger movement forwards or backwards, up or down).

Description

Eingabeeinrichtung fuer Digitalrechner BESCHREIBUNG Input device for digital computer DESCRIPTION
Nutzungsmerkmale: a) Tasten auf 2 Einheiten verteilt, beide voneinander unabhaengig frei beweglich, (wie ueblich ueber Datenleitung oder Funk/In rarot mit Zentraleinheit Computer verbunden.) b) Beidhaendige Tastenbedienung. Je Einheit fuer jeden Finger entweder 1, oder 2, oder 3 Tasten-Schalter je Taste oder Mehrfach-Schalter je Taste. Je ein oder mehrere Handteller- Schalter. (Bewegung beider Einheiten zur Cursor-Steuerung benutzbar wie als Maus-Prinzip bereits ueblich.) c) Arm-Motorik zur Positionierung/Tastenfindung nicht mehr erforderlich,Finger-Positionierung zur Tastenfindung nicht mehr erforderlich, Positions¬ wechsel zwischen Mausaktion und Tastenaktion nicht mehr erforderlich.Features of use: a) Buttons distributed over 2 units, both of which can move freely independently of one another (as is usually connected to the central unit computer via data line or radio / infrared). B) Two-handed button operation. Either 1 or 2 or 3 key switches per key or multiple switches per key for each finger. One or more palm switches. (Movement of both units can be used for cursor control as is already customary as a mouse principle.) C) Arm motor function no longer required for positioning / key finding, finger positioning no longer required for key finding, position change between mouse action and key action no longer required .
Funktionsmerkmale: Jede Taste kann mehrfach belegt werden weil : a) Von der Neutralstellung aus durch schieben,ziehen, druecken mehrere Betaetigungen/Schaltstellungen moeglich sind. b) Die Vorbelegung wie bekannt mittels SHIPT, CONTROL usw., per Software ... moeglich ist.Functional features: Each key can be assigned several times because: a) Pushing, pulling, pressing, from the neutral position, several operations / switch positions are possible. b) The pre-assignment as known using SHIPT, CONTROL etc., via software ... is possible.
