摘要： An ergonomically developed, dome-shaped, alphanumeric interface apparatus for use with an electronic system, such as a computer or electric typewriter is described. The apparatus is configured in accordance with ergonomic principles and uses chording of both hands to type the characters of any user-defined alphabet. The device includes a set of domes that are shaped and contoured to conform to the shape of hands in a relaxed state and to distribute pressures across the splayed underside of the user's hand. Each dome is capable of movement in a plurality of discrete lateral sectors. The domes used together, utilizing a chording principle, can generate up to 144 characters depending on how many discrete movements are defined by the user. In a nonchording mode of operation, each dome is capable of producing up to 12 characters independently of the other dome. The two-handed implementation disclosed utilizes input movements that enable keystroke actuation via only slight arm or hand movement, no finger movement being required. In addition, cursor control is possible via either dome.
摘要翻译：描述了与诸如计算机或电动打字机之类的电子系统一起使用的符合人体工程学的圆顶形字母数字接口装置。该装置根据人体工学原理进行配置，并使用双手的和弦键入任何用户定义的字母表的字符。该装置包括一组圆顶，其形状和轮廓在松弛状态下符合手的形状，并且在用户的手的张开的下侧分布压力。每个穹顶能够在多个离散的横向扇区中移动。使用和弦原理一起使用的圆顶可以生成多达144个字符，取决于用户定义的离散运动数量。在无障碍的操作模式下，每个穹顶能够独立于另一个穹顶产生多达12个角色。所公开的双手实施使用仅通过轻微的手臂或手动运动来实现按键致动的输入运动，不需要手指运动。此外，可以通过任一圆顶进行光标控制。

摘要： A handheld device having a main body and at least one button integral with the main body for causing generation of electrical signals. A pair of thumb controllers may be integral with the main body and positioned so that a user holding the device may tactilely engage each of the thumb controllers. A pair of sensing means may be operatively connected with the thumb controllers to generate an electrical signal in response to the user's tactile engagement with the thumb controllers. The signals may be resolved by a processor to determine an alphanumeric character to be generated. The signals may also be resolved with a signal generate by movement of the button to determine a state change to be generated in a video game so a user may interact with the video game. An electrical signal indicative of the video game state change may be generated and transmitted to a processing device executing the video game.
摘要翻译：一种手持式装置，其具有主体和与主体一体的至少一个按钮，用于产生电信号。一对拇指控制器可以与主体成一体并且定位成使得握住装置的使用者可触觉地接合每个拇指控制器。一对感测装置可以与拇指控制器可操作地连接，以响应于用户与拇指控制器的触觉接合而产生电信号。信号可以由处理器解决以确定要生成的字母数字字符。信号也可以通过按钮的移动产生的信号来解决，以确定在视频游戏中产生的状态变化，从而用户可以与视频游戏交互。可以生成指示视频游戏状态改变的电信号并将其发送到执行视频游戏的处理装置。

摘要： An ergonomic apparatus for generating data signals that may be indicative of alphanumeric characters for use with an electronic device or system such as a computer or electric typewriter, for example. The apparatus may be configured in accordance with ergonomic principles and use one or two hands to generate the data signals. The apparatus may include a set of domes that are shaped and contoured to conform to the shape of hands in a relaxed state and to distribute pressures across the splayed underside of the user's hand. Each dome may be capable of movement in a plurality of directions extending radially from a home position to generate the data signal or a portion of the data signal. The two-handed implementation disclosed utilizes input movements that enable keystroke actuation via only slight arm or hand movement, no finger movement being required. A keyboard layout may be used with the domes to associate movement of each dome with an alphanumeric layout of characters on a conventional keyboard such as a QWERTY keyboard layout. Dome movement may also be associated with the relative location of alphanumeric characters on an associated keyboard and the respective relative frequency of use of an alphanumeric character to be produced. Hand-held embodiments of the apparatus are provided that may be used with portable or other similar electronic devices.
摘要翻译：用于产生数字信号的人体工程学装置，其可以指示用于诸如计算机或电动打字机的电子设备或系统的字母数字字符。该装置可以根据人体工学原理进行配置，并使用一只或两只手来产生数据信号。该装置可以包括一组圆顶，其形状和轮廓在松弛状态下符合手的形状，并且在用户的手的张开的下侧上分布压力。每个圆顶可以能够在从原始位置径向延伸的多个方向上移动，以产生数据信号或数据信号的一部分。所公开的双手实施使用仅通过轻微的手臂或手动运动来实现按键致动的输入运动，不需要手指运动。键盘布局可以与圆顶一起使用，以将每个圆顶的运动与诸如QWERTY键盘布局的常规键盘上的字符的字母数字布局相关联。圆顶运动还可以与相关联的键盘上的字母数字字符的相对位置以及要产生的字母数字字符的相应相对使用频率相关联。提供了可与便携式或其他类似电子设备一起使用的装置的手持实施例。

摘要： An input device is described for generating a keystroke signal. A dome shaped to conform to the shape of a human hand at rest is supported to slide along a generally planar base top. The position of the dome on the base top, which is divided into sectors, is sensed, each sector correlatable with a keystroke signal. A system is also provided for outputting two position signals that are then correlatable into a unitary keystroke signal.
