Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'entrée de données permettant de distinguer de manière tactile la direction d'introduction, et plus spécifiquement un tel dispositif d'entrée de données dans lequel une partie d'introduction est formée de manière concave, de sorte que lorsque des doigts sont insérés dans ladite partie et touchent à la fois un premier emplacement indicateur de direction et un deuxième emplacement indicateur de direction prévus radialement et en nombre, l'introduction peut être effectuée de manière précise et rapide sans interférence lorsqu'une direction est introduite par rapport à chaque emplacement indicateur, et une structure tactile prévue permet de distinguer le premier emplacement indicateur de direction du deuxième emplacement indicateur de direction.
