Definitions
- At least one of the contact points protrudes from the underside of the key body.
- the family of functions can cause a change in a display, an action to be performed in a foreground or background of a display, or a change from one display page to another, for example.
- the species symbol is preferably alphanumeric.
- Fig. 4 is a simplified illustration of a functional display language, constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention
- Key body 10 preferably has a protuberance 28 that extends from an underside 30 thereof.
- Protuberance 28 preferably rests against support surface 16, and key body 10 pivots about protuberance 28.
- a plurality of contact points 32 are preferably spaced about protuberance 28 on the underside 30 of key body 10.
- protuberance 28 has four edges and is generally rectangular or square. This structure ensures that when it is desired to tilt key body 10 to the right, for example, the key body will indeed only tilt to the right and not to the upper right or downward right.
- three contact points 32 are spaced about and protrude from protuberance 28 on the underside 30 of key body 10.
- a fourth contact point 32' (Fig. ID) is generally flush with the underside 30 of key body 10.
- Three bumps 34 are preferably formed on an upper surface 36 of key body 10 opposite each of the three contact points 32.
- all of the contact points 32 and 32' are associated with the same numeral (in this example, the numeral 6).
- each of the three bumps 34 and their corresponding three contact points 32 are preferably associated with three different characters, and the fourth contact point 32' is preferably associated with a fourth character different from the three other characters.
- the fourth contact point 32' is preferably associated with a fourth character different from the three other characters.
- the three different characters are the letters m, n and o, and the fourth character is the numeral 6.
- the fourth character is the numeral 6.
- Fig. 2 In one key body 40, three different characters are symbols (arrow, ⁇ , >) and the fourth character is another symbol (*).
- one of the three different characters is a symbol (return sign), the other two of the three different characters are letters (q, z), and the fourth character is a numeral (0).
- the protuberance 28 can also be a contact point, wherein the key body is not tilted to strike the character, but rather pushed generally straight down.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a functional display language, constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- BACK (the genus symbol may be an icon of a upward pointing arrow) - If all of the displayed information cannot fit onto the display at one time, this function causes display of the information before or above the current display. This icon does not necessarily require a species symbol 54.
- DATA (the genus symbol may be an icon of a rightward pointing arrow) - This icon appears next to a data-entry field.
- the display transforms into a state ready for accepting an input of data.

Abstract
L'invention concerne une touche alphanumérique comprenant un corps (10) de touche monté sur un bloc (12) de touches, le corps de touche pivotant autour d'un pivot (28) et présentant deux modes de fonctionnement, un premier mode dans lequel une pression sur le corps de touche dans n'importe quel sens est associée à un seul numéro, et un second mode dans lequel une pression sur le corps de touche dans un premier sens autour du pivot est associée à un premier caractère, et une pression sur le corps de touche dans un second sens est associée à un second caractère différent du premier caractère; et un commutateur (29) connecté fonctionnellement au corps de touche afin de commuter entre le premier et le second mode de fonctionnement.
